Muslim university 'winning the battle against evil ISIS propaganda'

Muslim university 'winning the battle against evil ISIS propaganda'
12.02.2016 22:00
Al-Azhar is combatting the vile jihadi’s slick propaganda machine by sifting through dozens of ISIS publications across eight different languages.

According to the Cairo-based university, the tactic is stopping people from being recruited.

They then show potential recruits the twisted lies and spin that the sick death cult jihadis use to make Islamic scripture support their dark regime.

But the group admit that there is little they can do about the tens of thousands who have already fled to join the group.

Reham Abdullah from the group, said: "Maybe they (ISIS members) will never read our books or visit our website but there are many others who haven't (joined) but are thinking to do so and we are trying to save these guys.”

But they are confident they can use their skills to beat back the desperate jihadi’s internet scramble for new soldiers to fuel their sick war.

Ibrahim Negm, the senior advisor to the Grand Mufti, said: "There's a cancer spreading in the body of the world and we have to realise that this cancer is not going to spread only on the Middle East but everywhere."

"Condemnation won't do it all, we have to save an entire generation - the online generation - glued to social media and that don't have access to proper knowledge.

"I feel some Western analysts are saying our response is a slow response but they haven't given space for moderate analysts to talk and discuss.

"Prior to September 11 the radical sermons were aired live on British media. It's time to give platforms to moderate Muslims."

Meanwhile Sabra el-Qasami – a former Jihadi who has spent years in prison and runs an unofficial de-radicalisation program – has said they’ll have to work hard to fight back the powerful social media campaigns the group use.

He added: "Al-Azhar needs more support and more freedom to delve deeper into the issues that terrorist youth are concerned with.

"In my opinion the armed fight against terrorism will have dire results and will create more sympathy for the terrorists. This issue needs an ideological battle in parallel to the armed battle on the ground."
