Useful Advice for Potential Holy Warriors
13th June 2015
ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) has been updating its online training manuals to make it easier for potential recruits who want to join either in an ISIL controlled area or as a holy warrior in another country, including where they now live. Among the useful information available is advice on how to hide the fact that they are Moslems while in a non-Moslem country. This is vital if the recruit is to avoid arrest while preparing to travel to an ISIL base. The advice covers essentials, like appearance, meaning no beard or traditional Islamic clothing, always praying in private, training inconspicuously (paintball is particularly useful) and not wearing military clothing. Women are advised to wear a colorful headscarf (as the black one marks you as hard core). Much useful advice is given on how to raise money illegally and how to get it to ISIL without getting caught.
Practical and proven information on obtaining or making weapons is given as well as emphasis on how important physical and weapons training is. Potential recruits are urged to get in shape and learn martial arts if possible. There is also a lot of practical information about how to transport weapons and other contraband in such a way that is not noticed or if there is a search the hidden items are not discovered. There is also a lot of information on how to detect if you are being watched and how to escape surveillance. This includes useful information on obtaining and using false ID.
