Two weeks after the ISIS conducted fatal attacks in Sri Lanka killing more than
three hundred Christians and Hindus, a poster in Bengali saying “We are coming,
Insha’Allah” (Shigroi Aschee Inshallah) on a telegram channel with logo of Al
Mursalat has appeared sending a wave of panic among the people of Bangladesh
and West Bengal of India. Intelligence agencies of the state and the country
have taken the poster seriously and have sounded an alert. Security has been
beefed up in public places including Metro stations in Kolkata. According to
reports, the ISIS has a presence in Bangladesh with the support of JMB
(Jamiat-e- Mujahideen Bangladesh).
The terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka suggest
a shift in the modus operandi of the ISIS after its debacle in Syria and Iraq.
It has now shrugged off its mask of the flag bearers of Islamic Caliphate with
which it fooled the Muslims of the world and won the sympathy of a section of
gullible Muslims and so-called Islamic scholars. Now they have come up with the
real face as a terrorist organization. Now they taken to the path of Al Qaida,
Taliban, Al Shabab and Boko Haram conducting cowardly attacks on unsuspecting
innocent people.
This development also makes the Urdu press
and the religious organizations who had supported and glorified the ISIS as the
upholders of Islam and flag bearers of Islamic Caliphate responsible for what
the Muslims of Bangladesh and West Bengal in particular and of India in general
are going to face. The ISIS has now put up the face of a terrorist organization without any clear
ideology. They just want to harm Muslims and tarnish the image of Islam and
destroy the peace of the state where Muslims live in a relatively peaceful
atmosphere wielding political power.
After the ISIS attack in Sri Lanka and the
release of the poster in Bengali, the NIA have rounded up some ISIS operatives
who were part of ISIS module in Kerala. This is an indication of the things to
come. A section of our religious leadership glorified the ISIS and many Muslim
youth were misled by their propaganda and joined the terrorist organization.
Dozens of Muslim youth from India also were influenced by their propaganda and
joined the ISIS, though some of them later realized the mistake returned to
India but by the then it was too late and the damage was done. After ISIS
conducted the terrorist attack in Sri Lanka and released a poster in Bengali
announcing their arrival in either Bangladesh or West Bengal, these Islamic organizations
and scholars are silent. Earlier it was Al Qaida and Taliban, now it is the
ISIS. Muslims are fooled again and again
by these militant organizations in the name of Caliphate or Islamic State.
