Islam Times - Three suspected ISIL supporters arrested in Malaysia

Islam Times - Malaysian security forces have reportedly detained three people suspected of recruiting for the ISIL terrorists operating in Syria and Iraq.

Police Chief Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar says the suspects have been charged with running several Facebook accounts that recruit Malaysians to join the Takfiri terrorist group or to solicit funds for the terrorists.

The police commander did not give further information.

Reports said the suspects are two women and a man, with one of them a 34-year-old wife of a suspected militant charged in a Malaysian court earlier this month.

Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has condemned the crimes committed by ISIL in Syria and Iraq.

“Malaysia condemns in the strongest terms, the barbarism committed against Mr Kassig and the Syrian military personnel. These abhorrent acts violate the teachings of Islam and the principles of Islamic law,” Razak said, referring to the beheading of American aid worker Peter Kassig by an ISIL Takfiri militant.

ISIL has executed several foreign nationals including American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning.

The ISIL terrorists currently control large areas of Iraq. The group sent its militants into Iraq in June, seizing large parts of land straddling the border between Syria and Iraq.

They have been carrying out horrific acts of violence, including public decapitations and crucifixions, against all communities in both neighboring states such as Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians.
