ISIL's treasurer steals 'Zakat' funds, flees to Turkey: Report
[Hurriyet Daily News] An Egyptian man has delivered a financial blow to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), after reportedly becoming the "emir" of its alms department before fleeing to Turkey with almost $1 million.
It was actually $5 million, and you should beat it out of him...
Could it be that ISIS is less stong than it used to be?
Abu Obeida al-Masri, who was the secretary of the "Zakat" (charity) bureau and treasurer of ISIL's Syrian branch, fled with the funds amounting to "a billion Syrian pounds," which were collected by his department in the Deir Ez Zour province, the Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper reported, citing the Syrian Press Center news site.

Following the incident, ISIL forces of Evil have reportedly issued an order to stop recruiting Egyptian jihadists.

#1 I wonder if Turkey will hand him over to the ISIL folks. Seems they're in cahoots, unless the 'emir' knows something we don't (or perhaps he's really not that bright).

#2 You know Qatar would've handed him over had he gone there instead.

#3 unless the 'emir' knows something we don't

The emir knows he has some cash to pass out to interested parties. A little walking around money, if you will.
