Kurds pledge allegiance to al- Baghdadi in the northern eastern countryside of Aleppo
SOHR has received a footage shows a mosque full of dozens of men, youths and children in the IS held- town of Ekhetrin located in the northern eastern countryside of Aleppo. The footage also shows an IS Imam saying to the people in the mosque “we bring to you power, pride and empowerment, we come by ourselves to our Kurdish Muslim brothers in order to say that we are our brothers in God, so if you suffer we suffer and if something bad happens to you, you will find a very big army expanding from Dyali in Iraq to Ekhetrin in Syria. This army fights to protect Muslims. This is the state of the prophet peace be upon him and this is the state of Islam. Islamic State fights the Peshmerga in Iraq and PKK in Syria, we do not fight them because they are Kurds but because they are infidels and apostates; they call for secularism and democracy, they call for secular party that does not accept Allah as our Lord, Islam as our way of life and Muhammad peace be upon him as Allah’s prophet.”
“Listen to me brothers, pledge allegiance to Amir al- Mueminin (leader of believers) on empower the religion of Allah Almighty and know that this allegiance is for caliphate, and we are honored to join state of Islam. I am going to talk and you repeat behind me”. “In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful. We pledge allegiance to Amir al- Mueminin and Muslims caliph Ibrahim Iben Awad Iben Ibrahim al- Badri al- Husaini and Qorashi al- Baghdadi on the basis of submission and obedience in times of hardship and ease, fortune and adversity, applying Sharia rules, al –Jihad ( fighting Allah’s enemy) for Allah’s way and not to fight our leaders except we prove that they commit what they make them infidels, and that Allah is a witness to out word.”
In addition to, the footage shows a group of IS militants distributing leaflets on people who were coming out of the mosque and interviewing people, where someone said that we send a message to our people abroad, we are here in the village of Tal Btal and that the one who did not fight Islamic State is not guilty and has no adjudication. “He, his father and people of his village have pledged allegiance and that they came with a broad magnanimity,” another one from the village answered a question by an IS militant when he asked him whether Islamic State forces him to pledge allegiance.
The footage also shows an old man saying to the element who was interviewing people, “our religion is the same, we as Arab, Turkman and Kurd pray shoulder to shoulder and that language has nothing to do with religion, we are all Sunni,” then, the old man asked the element, “do Americans, Russians and Chechens fight with you in Islamic State.? The element answered “yes.” “We have lived peacefully since IS entered our village and no one take any of our money or properties,” the old man said.
SOHR received a footage in the 30th of August in 2013, where the footage shows ISIS fighters’ detention of 30 Kurdish people in the town of Qbasin in the eastern countryside of Aleppo. It also shows an ISIS fighter speaking standard Arabic, then speaking Egyptian accent. The spokesman asked the detainees to repent to Allah of belonging to the Kurdish Democratic Union Party because, according to him, they turned back from Islam, after that he read the conditions of repentance:
- To declare complete repentance of belonging of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party and to deliver the heavy and light weapons as well as personal weapons.
- It is not allowed for the penitents to join the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, Al Nusayri (Alawi) regime or any party that fight against Allah and his prophet.
- It is not allowed to join any Islamic battalion or to practice and vital work for one year from the date of repentance.
- If it is proven the participation of any person with the Kurdish Democratic Union Party or any group that fight against Allah and his prophet, whether it is participation in speech, money, weapon or any kind or shape of loyalty, so he is considered as apostate from Islam.
After that the detainees were gathered in a mosque in the town, then some Islamic books were given to them. The repentance was in public and in the presence of citizens from the town. An ISIS Amir, whose name is Abo Abdulrahman, delivered a speech. What so called “Papers of not stopping the penitents” has been given.
