New Delhi: As the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, terror organisation Islamic State’s chat groups are abuzz with messages on how the outbreak has provided an opportunity to carry out attacks as countries have become “easy target”. The messages also urge Indian Muslims “to act”, ThePrint has learnt.
The primary missive that is being circulated on the chat groups that IS runs on various social media platforms is a clipping of a note published in the terror network’s magazine called Sawt al-Hind (Voice of Hind).
“Allah has made this disease a source of chaos amongst the nations of disbelief and their militaries and police have been deployed in their streets and alleys, thus making them an easy target,” said the note published in one of the terror network’s branches in the Khorasan province.
ThePrint has seen the note, but couldn’t ascertain the date of its publishing.
The note added that this opportunity should be utilised to carry out terror strikes. “Use this opportunity to strike them with a sword or a knife or even a rope is enough to stop their breath, fill the streets with blood,” it said.
One of the terror operatives who were allegedly involved in the publication of the magazine was a Kashmiri named Jahanjeb Sami. He was arrested by the Delhi Police earlier this month, along with his wife, said sources.
Both were linked to IS’ Khorasan module, which carried out a terror attack on a gurdwara in Kabul Wednesday, killing 25 people.
This note being circulated through chat groups is a tactic to recruit people, said a source in the Indian intelligence, who highlighted the possibility of the Islamic State planning an attack.
“It is always a possibility that they are planning something, considering what happened in Kabul, and these signs cannot be taken lightly. But, this seems more like a tactic to recruit more youngsters,” the source said.

‘Indian Muslims, act’
Another Sawt al-Hind note that is being circulated on these chat groups addresses Indian Muslims, asking them to act.
“…what the Muslims of India have suffered is not hidden from anybody. How many from among the Muslims were brutally killed and how many of the masjids have been demolished. Now is the time to act,” it said.
The note also said that this disease is the punishment and “wrath of Allah up on the disbelievers” and they should make it worse for them.
“The ever-increasing rate of COVID 19 that we are witnessing is a torment for the disbelievers and has brought the glad tidings for the believers… O Muwahideen, prepare with whatever you have and rise up. And make it worse for the Kuffar (infidel),” it said.
“You must not forget how the disbelievers dealt with you brothers and sisters in Mosul, Baghuz, Kunar, burying them alive beneath the debris,” it added.

The print has become a professional propagator of kurasan model. Markaz Nizamudin are executing it. Shameful,everybody should condemn it.

How low can you get by publishing such articles which has no verified Or credible sources in such times. Can you clarify what you want convey through this article.?
The Print seem to be a super spreader of their message… While the article mentioned the message of such satans but didn’t even said a word to condemn such messages… The Print proved really its ethics…. Shame on u The Print
Exactly
What a virile group……its high time muslims stand up against this people who is spreading lies and terror in the name of islam….do they take all muslims to be idiots….what they preach is not even remotely related to islam or to any religion….COVID19 is soon gona come for them as well…hope it does as well
There are just too many Muslims who take the Quran literally… and too many others who couldn’t care less about the violence done in the name of Islam.
“…what they preach is not even remotely related to islam or to any religion…”
Khansa, please read the Koran and the Hadiths and THEN form any opinion about Islam.
There is no need for IS to get involved protest like shaheen baag against CAA and massacare of Sikhs and Hindus in Afghanistan by a terrorist originating from KERALA are proof enough of the intentions
We the Muslims are with our country in this hard times and we have been in the past and will be with it in future too. Our last drop blood is also for our country . I love INDIA ♥️
🙏
I appeal to muslims , show your protest to these hardcore muslims who are trying to destroy human race in the name of Allah. Try to teach lesson of peace it’s the only chance for survival.
Quasim very good…in very appropriate words you have said the feelings of our Muslim brothers. The Print is a media cancer spreading hatred thru it’s stories, some half cooked and some fabricated. There may be some substance in this story, but how Print is instigating Hindus and Muslims in one shot is disgusting
Why in the Earth’s name are you printing this story? Why are you propagating the message of a terror organization verbatim?
Is this journalism?
Very sad.
The entire humanity is facing this great crisis but look at demons they are still thinking of making it worse. Don’t we say that they are the biggest enemies of humanity on face of earth who have nothing to do with any religion apart from using it for their evil objectives. May Allah wipes all them from the face earth with this corona virus because they are more deadly than it.
Mentally retarded hain saale. Need doctors more than bullets.
