IS calls on Turkish Muslims to join jihad
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleANKARA, Turkey — Islamic State calls Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a traitor for allowing the US to use air bases for strikes against the group, and urges Muslims in Turkey to support the extremist group and fight the “crusaders, atheists and tyrants.”
An IS video message released on Twitter on Monday shows a Turkish-speaking fighter, flanked by two others, accusing Erdogan of permitting the US to “bombard the people of Islam.”
Six F-16 fighter jets arrived at a Turkish air base last week and began flying missions against the IS group over Syria.
