A lead article in the latest issue of Voice of Khurasan – the English-language magazine of the Islamic State Khurasan Province (ISKP) – says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan misled Muslims to win elections while aiding unbelievers and Rafidhas ("rejectionists," a pejorative term for Shi'ites), notably Azerbaijan's Shi'ite President Ilham Aliyev in the war against Armenia.
The article, titled "Call To The Turkish People: Abandon Erdoğan's Highway To Hell And Join 'The Century Of The Islamic Khilafah [Caliphate, i..e, ISIS],'" also says that Erdogan's rhetoric against LGBT communities during elections were empty words. "He will not do anything concrete to prevent the 'infiltration' through the educational system, the media, and the so-called 'civil society,' of the 'rainbow' proselytism seeking to subvert the human fitrah [nature] and induce Muslim children and young people to non-heterosexuality and 'Fluidity,' whatever this may mean," observes the article's author Abu Muhammad Al-Italy.
The article appears in Issue 26 of Voice of Khurasan, which is dated Dhu Al-Hijjah 1444 in the Hijri calendar, which corresponds with the lunar month ending July 18, 2023. The Voice of Khurasan is published Al-Azaim Media Foundation, a media outlet linked to the Islamic State Khurasan Province (ISKP), which defines itself as a supporting entity for the Islamic State (ISIS).
Following is the text of the article:[1]
"'Islamist' Pundits Have Been Portraying Erdogan As The Only Option Left For Muslims In Turkey To Stop The Avalanche Of The Kuffar-Made Laws, Habits, And Customs"
"Yes, the Little Sultan of the 'Misguided Brotherhood' made it again. He must like 'democracy' a lot, as a system that is assuring him perpetual power and the 'likes' from the majority of the Turkish masses to feed his ever-satisfied nafs [self]. To a closer look, however, also those who voted the 'secularists' candidate at the 'presidential' elections (a useful idiot whose name is not even worth to be mentioned) cast their ballot for the hated Recep Tayyip Erdogan, facilitating his wicked schemes. Why? Because their hostility did nothing but legitimizing the Little Sultan's 'democratic credentials,' which he is now eager to show off in the eyes of his critics in the West: 'I am no longer a dictator, can you see!'
"The 'Progressivist' kuffar [unbelievers] can still complain about Erdogan's posture against the LGBT-etc. warfare, but this is part of the role-playing game they are both enacting. His threat of shutting down LGBT-etc. associations and to 'Strangle anyone who dares to attack family' are no more than electoral promises, and they will prove to be as such in the coming future.
"Erdogan will just lash out at the LGBT-etc. suprematism from time to time to pretend that he is taking care of the issue, deceiving the expectations of his adoring crowd at home and outside. But he will not do anything concrete to prevent the 'infiltration' through the educational system, the media, and the so-called 'civil society,' of the 'rainbow' proselytism seeking to subvert the human fitrah [nature] and induce Muslim children and young people to non-heterosexuality and 'Fluidity,' whatever this may mean.
"So, the door to shirk [idolatry] will stay wide-open in Turkey, nothing to worry about from the Little Sultan, EU people! While recognizing his faults and failures, including the blatant mismanagement of the economy, many 'Islamist' pundits have been portraying Erdogan as the only option left for Muslims in Turkey to stop the avalanche of the kuffar-made laws, habits, and customs contradicting shari'a that is ready to overwhelm them."
"In The Infighting With The Iranian Rafidha, The Cunning Munafiq Of Ilham Aliyev Enjoys The Protection Of The Zio-Imperialist Taghut [Tyrant] Regime Of Israel With The Blessing Of The American/Western Christian Crusaders"
"At the same time, to boost his waning image as a self-styled Muslim 'hero,' the propaganda orchestrated by the murtadeen [apostates] lackeys of the AK-Party during the electoral campaign highlighted the results achieved in the international arena, arguing that the Little Sultan succeeded in restoring Turkey as a great power after the fall of the Ottoman empire. From a genuine and honest Islamic perspective, no lie can be so obvious. How can the betrayal of the Jihad fi Sabeelillah [jihad in the path of Allah] in Syria, Libya, Palestine, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, be regarded as a success?
"The case of the Azerbaijani Taghut regime goes usually unnoticed in Erdogan's long record of betrayals of Allah's word and of the teaching of Prophet Muhammad, but actually offers a shining example of him being an unashamed munafiq [hypocrite] for all the Turkish brothers and sisters out there to see.
"Championing brotherly relations on ethnic Turkic supremacist basis with the Azeri Rafidha [Shi'ites]; providing his kleptocrat and corrupt bedfellow Ilham Aliyev with loads of weapons and thousands of mercenary militiamen from the Sham [Syria], instead of deploying them as mujahideen in the ranks of the Islamic Khilafah to overthrow the Nusayris [pejorative for Shi'ite sect Alawites] of the Al-Assad Taghut regime; allowing the mercenaries and the weapons to be used by the Azeri Rafidha against the Armenian Christian kuffar and even be proud thereof, instead of abiding by the duty to 'slay them' (Al-Baqarah: 191) both as enemies of Islam – can all this somehow be justified in light of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah [traditions of Muhammad]?
"Last but not least, Turkey's support to the Azerbaijani Taghut regime did not come alone. In the infighting with the Iranian Rafidha, the cunning munafiq of Ilham Aliyev enjoys the protection of the Zio-imperialist Taghut regime of Israel with the blessing of the American/Western Christian Crusaders.
"Therefore, the would-be Third Temple heavily supplied him with advanced weapons, including ballistic missiles, drones, air defense and electronic systems, which Azerbaijan used in the latest chapter of the Nagorno-Karabakh war alongside and in an interoperable fashion with the Turkish weapons."
"Erdogan's Propaganda Machine Often Boasts About His Past As A Football Player, Without Mentioning At All Any Of The Physical Activities That Were Practiced By Our Prophet Muhammad"
"It follows that to be brothers in arms with kuffar and Rafidha is the typical method of the Little Sultan, but what does it have to do with the prophetic one? Nothing of course, and this is a fact that Turkish people should take into due consideration, as it is not enough to raise the R4BIA[2] to be a sincere Emir-ul-Momineen.
The "rabia" is a four-finger sign adopted by Islamists worldwide
"The R4BIA is a sign of misguidance, and it is time for them to realize it. Better too late than never, at least to earn some hasanat [good deeds] for the Akhirah [afterlife] when their moment before Allah will come. '(O you who have faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies: they are allies of one another. Any of you who allies with them is indeed one of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot)' – (Al-Ma'idah:51).
"The appointment of the loyal 'Kurdy' Hakan Fidan – previously head of the secret services (MI6) for 13 years! – as the new minister of foreign affairs points to no change in Erdogan's approach. Rather, there will be an attempt to consolidate the un-Islamic course that Fidan himself greatly contributed to charting at the service of the Little Sultan in return for such a brilliant career.
"For Turkey, this means the following ever tighter relations with the Taliban Taghut, in cahoots with the Qatari Taghut regime (Takfir on all the Dar at-Thani murtadeen [apostates]); reconciliation with the Nusayri Taghut.
Erdogan has aided Azerbaijan's President Aliyev in war against Armenia
"Similarly to all the Arab Tawagheet [tyrant] regimes (Takfir on all the mushrikeen [polytheists] that have usurped the sacred land of Prophet Muhammad), using Idlib as a bargaining chip with the consent of [Hayat Tahrir al-Sham leader Abu Mohammad] al-Joulani the munafiqun and Hayat Tahrir al-Scum; detente and realignment with the [Egyptian President Abdel Fattah] al-Sisi murtad [apostate] and his Taghut regime in Egypt, while remaining a safe haven for the 'Misguided Brotherhood,' the new tenure, as if he could have not ruled without first pleasing the financial system of the global Taghut.
"Now that the groundwork has been laid, everything seems to be set for Erdogan to go on untroubled with his glorious journey on the TV screens of the dunya [material world]. How happy the foolish fans of the Little Sultan must have been in watching him at the 'Ataturk' stadium in Istanbul, while hosting his colleague MBS [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman], 'President' of the United Arab Murtadeen [UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan], along with the kuffar highest echelons of the corrupt football industry.
"Erdogan's propaganda machine often boasts about his past as a football player, without mentioning at all any of the physical activities that were practiced by our Prophet Muhammad, which are required of abled Muslim men and women to keep themselves trained and ready to fight as mujahideen and mujahidat [female mujahideen] in the Jihad ft Sabeelillah."
"Erdogan Has Succeeded In Locking Down His Power From All Sides, Leaving No More Chances To His Opponents; Only One Thing Is Still Escaping His Control, And It Is One That Scares Him To Death: The Islamic Khilafah"
"But the Little Sultan has other interests, no matter if they coincide with shirk and not with the Sunnah, drifting Muslims away from the Straight Path (Sirat Al-Mustaqim). Needless to say, Erdogan has not even the intention to take off the outfit of 'peace-maker' he has been wearing from the very beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war.
"His nafs is so pleased with being in the spotlight as a mediator that he does not miss any opportunity to talk on the phone with the kuffar [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky, and to arrange diplomatic meetings between the contenders, or simply announce them regardless of whether they will take place or not, just for the sake of appearing on TV or on the headlines of newspapers.
"Well, the Little Sultan can keep on fooling his gullible NATO's 'ally' and 'firting' [sic] with the Tzar in the meantime, but he cannot fool Allah, the all-knowing of the seen and the unseen, the master of all creation, 'pre-dominant over his affairs, although most people do not know' (Yüsuf:21).
"Actually, even if he pretends not to and continues behaving as if he is the Lord of the worlds, Erdogan is aware that his position in the eyes of the Ar-Rahman [Allah], the most merciful, is seriously jeopardized, to say the least. He knows very well that the honors he has received so far in the earthly life do not come from the almighty's barakah [blessings] but are Satan's short-lived gifts in return for his damned soul.
"A bloody thorn in his side constantly reminds him of this, every minute, every second. What is that? To rule Turkey, are there really no alternatives to the Little Sultan!
"Erdogan has succeeded in locking down his power from all sides, leaving no more chances to his opponents. Only one thing is still escaping his control, and it is one that scares him to death: the Islamic Khilafah.
"Here is the alternative! Look at the strategic design behind his foreign policy: it is conceived exactly to address the personal security concerns of the Little Sultan by keeping the mujahideen at bay, be it through the 'different twins' of al-Joulani and al-Assad in the Sham, the Taliban in Afghanistan, Al-Qaeda in Libya, the Arab, Pakistani, and other Tawagheet [tyrant] regimes, the 'Misguided Brotherhood' in both the Dar al-Islam [land of Islam] and the Dar al-Kufr [land of Unbelief], his mingling with the Zio-Crusaderist kuffar."
"To Counteract The Jihad Online, The Turkish Intelligence Has Created A Digital Army Of Turkish Mashbuheen, Men And Above All Niqabi Women, Active On Social Media Platforms With Thousands Of Fake Profiles Featuring Images Of The Islamic Khilafah"
"Further, to counteract the jihad online, the Turkish intelligence has created a digital army of Turkish mashbuheen, men and above all niqabi women, active on social media platforms with thousands of fake profiles featuring images of the Islamic Khilafah and the mujahideen, especially on Pinterest. Their task is not only to attract and identify sincere munasireen [aiders], as all the secret services of the kuffar and mushrikeen do, but to make them believe that Erdogan is devoted to the Jihad fi Sabeelillah and that he supports the Islamic Khilafah.
"In doing so, the Little Sultan hopes not to alienate his Turkish constituency and the many muhajirun [immigrants] based in Turkey, in order to avoid new attacks of the Islamic Khilafah that could target him directly, sparking an Islamic revolution on Turkish soil led by the mujahideen in the footsteps of the Shami [Syrian] one. So, beware of the fake munasireen disseminated online by Erdogan to hide the truth and boycott the reestablishment of the Islamic Khilafah!
"Yes, with success from Allah, this is indeed 'the century of the Islamic Khilafah.' May He [Allah] guide the Turkish people far from Erdogan's highway to hell and back to the Sirat al-Mustaqim if he wills – (Al-Qasas:56). Look carefully at the Little Sultan; you are seeing a man who can barely walk, a dead man walking. Erdogan can save himself on earth, but his soul is already doomed.
"Do you still want to follow him? (Their reward will be hell, for their disbelief and mockery of my signs and my Messengers) – Al-Kahf:105. (I will fill Hell with all of you, with you (Satan- Erdogan), and with those who have followed you) – Al-Araf:18. Send us a press release from there, Mr. President of the worshipers of Tawagheet, it may find its way on Voice of Khurasan magazine!"
