ISIL to reach China with propaganda song in Mandarin
Quote:
Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) has released a recording in Mandarin Chinese that urges Muslims to “take up weapons to fight.”
The propaganda song was posted online by ISIL’s foreign-language media unit, Al Hayat Media Center, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks terror propaganda.
In 2014, ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi named China as one of many countries in which “Muslims’ rights are forcibly seized.”
Baghdadi also claimed that China was among the 12 nationalities of ISIL jihadists. There is no estimate on the number of Chinese nationals fighting for ISIL.
ISIL’s propaganda for foreigners typically details the group’s exploits and high opinions of itself. The Wall Street Journal produced a rough translation of the Mandarin song’s lyrics.
Here is a sample:
The brilliance of Islam is etched in history. The purpose of our struggle is to let it shine again.

Wake up! Muslim brother, now is the time to awaken
Take up your faith and courage, fulfill the lost doctrine.
Wake up! Muslim brother, now is the time to awaken
Take up your faith and courage, fulfill the lost doctrine.
We are Mujahid, our shameless enemy panics before us
To die fighting on this battlefield is our dream.
This. I feel like this could be really bad because Chinese muslims are already really oppressed and marginalized as is, I'm sure they would be an easy group to radicalize.
"Wake up! Muslim brother, now is the time to awaken
Take up your faith and courage, fulfill the lost doctrine.

Then again religion itself is a mess which is the root of it all.
