ISIS Ferguson Game: Asks Protesters To Convert To Islam Before Sending Militants
The ISIS' Ferguson interest has come out in the open with a bunch of Britain-born fighters openly extending an offer to send militants to the riot-hit American city of Missouri, provided the protesters converted to Islam. The offers were made through social media Twitter.
The city was in chaos ever since a police officer escaped punishment for shooting dead an unarmed black teenager. The Islamic state extremists are now trying to take advantage of the anti-authority feeling by pulling the protesters to adopt the radical ideology of ISIS, reported Daily Mail. UK
Using the slogan 'From #IS 2 Ferguson', Junaid Hussain, 20 - alias Abu Hussain al-Britani - tweeted the photograph of a hand-written letter and urged the Ferguson rioters to "reject corrupt man-made laws like democracy' and declare allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi".
Blood-Drinking Soldiers
Britani's note contains the promise to send militants to the Missouri city if protesters swear allegiance to ISIS. It reads: "We hear you and we will help you if you accept Islam and reject corrupt man-made laws like democracy and pledge your allegiance to Caliph Abu Bakr and then we will shed our blood for you and send our soldiers who don't sleep, whose drink is blood, and their play is carnage." Yet another militant, calling himself Abu Dujana urged for more violence. His note has a photograph of masked young men posing with assault rifles and mobile phone cases, behind the black and white logo of the Islamic State.
Another ISIS extremist Abu Dujana posted a photograph of a large knife brandished by a glove made by the American sports brand Nike. "For how long will you let these govts oppress u. Draw ur knives and show them a response!! #FergusonDecision #IS,' the militant wrote.
Abu Dujana also had an ancedote and urged people to learn about Bilal Ibn Rabah, a freed slave who was one of the Prophet Mohammed's closest companions. He posted: "Read the story of Bilal Ibn Rabah oh people #Ferguson and see how an oppressed slave became a hero and warrior through Islam."
Obama for Talks
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has announced that he would discuss the Ferguson issue with his Cabinet, civil rights leaders and law enforcement officials. Mr Obama's meeting at the White House will focus on the administration's review of federal programmes on providing military-style equipment to law enforcement agencies. The White House said the president will also meet civil rights leaders to discuss the challenges posed by "mistrust between law enforcement and communities of color."
Meanwhile, protests in Ferguson became more muted as compared to the heavy violence witnessed last week. The unrest was sparked by a grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer in the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, reported ABC News. The police officer, who shot the boy, has already announced his resignation from the police.
