Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Serbia: Professor of Sharia law leads Islamic State recruitment

Jul 31, 2015 7:28 pm By Robert Spencer

Idriz BilibaniAn Islamic scholar? A professor of Sharia law? Recruiting inside a mosque? How could such  a learned personage get involved with Islamic State recruitment? How did Idriz Bilibani miss all the Qur’an’s peaceful teachings that are so patently obvious to John Kerry and David Cameron and all the other Western non-Muslim leaders who have assured us that the Islamic State is completely un-Islamic? How could the mosque leaders have allowed this?

“‘Islamic scholar behind IS recruitment in Serbia,'” b92.net, July 27, 2015:

There, they fight on the side of Islamic State, according to a report in the Belgrade-based newspaper Blic.

“According to the most recent data of security services about the terrorist organization ISIS, professor of Sharia law Idriz Bilibani, also known as Sheik, used, together with Denis Hadzic from Novi Pazar, the space for prayer in the Furkan mosque in Novi Pazar for preaching radical Islam,” said the article.

The pair “called for jihad, a holy war, and called on people to join the war in Syria by fighting against the forces of legitimate President Bashar el-Assad.”

“The masjid Furkan in Novi Pazar is not a recruitment center for joining the Syria war, but it is a place where one can establish contact with people fighting on the side of ISIS,” a source with knowledge of the Serbian security services’ data on “fighters in Syria” told the daily, and added: “No weapons were ever found in those premises, but it is used to spread radical interpretations of Islam. And it is certain that all those who left Serbia to join the war in Syria had been to Furkan.”

Idriz Bilibani was arrested in Kosovo last September and released a month later. He was placed under house arrest on October 16. Bilibani last time posted a message on his Facebook account, which has more than 3,400 followers, last December.

“According to security services, about 20 Serbian citizens went to fight on the side of Islamic State in Syria. Some took their whole families with them and settled there. There is the so-called Balkan Brigade in ISIS that fights in Syria and Iraq,” the paper writes, and adds that all Serbian citizens who “went to jihad” are members of this brigade….

    I wonder when they will ever learn that ISIS constantly refers to the Koran. ISIS is Islam not only by name but they stick to the way of life of the self-appointed prophet. They kill infidels and rape their slaves, so did the self-appointed prophet.

    Fortunately the Serbs know better how to deal with muzzies than any other Europeans. They’ll find a way to keep their country clean.

      Only if the US allows it.
      Serbia was bombed for 78 days to force them to give their holy land of Kosovo to Islam.

    Interesting, Furkan was the name of the ‘American’ born Turk
    brainwashed by IHI and killed on the Mavi Marmara,
    while trying to invade Israel.

    He became the ‘poster child’ for the ‘poor-me’ moslems
    and the bash US/Israel/Jews crowd.

    At that time, the MSM DELIBERATELY circulated pictures
    of a smiling beardless schoolchild looking 14 or 15.*
    MUCH later, pictures of a bearded 19 year-old
    wearing a ‘pali?’ kefiyyah started to appear.

    Now on Google Images, most photos show the bearded
    version, but some of the younger person are still there. For now.
    Interestingly, one is in front of a gay rainbow arc.

    I wonder if his autopsy examined whether he had been
    islamically (bachi baz) assaulted, and whether DNA samples
    were obtained from all on board?

    Maybe his IHI ‘friends’ had ‘prepared him’ for a suicide plot.
    Or maybe he was not trusted to keep his mouth shut after
    that ‘preparation’.

    * They repeated that trick with Tsernaev.
    NOBODY ever calls them out for that deliberate propaganda.

      the MSM DELIBERATELY circulated pictures of youngsters, never what the perps REALLY look like: Trayvon Martin and others. MSM must really hate America, maybe they ought to move else where…

    But whether it be ISIS, Boko Haram, al Qaeda, al shabbab or Hezzbollah none of these organisations have anything to do with Islam according to so many world leaders today . This despite the fact these groups membership consist of being exclusively 100% muslim, mosques and Islamic schools are a major source of recruitment for them while the Koran is their key motivational tool

    How can all these ‘leaders’ ,media outlets, social commentators and general ‘do gooders’ honesty believe all this “has nothing to do with Islam” crap .I would guess they are only saying it in 95% of cases to be politically correct and trying to calm down anti Islamic sentiment..

    The other 5% stupidly do believe it, Obama among them.Which makes you almost want to ask him how are those fairies doing at the bottom of the White House Garden?

    Islamic scholar behind IS recruitment in Serbia

    In other news, rabid dog bites man, and Obama, Kerry and Cameron rushed to say that the rabid dog is no representative of rabid dogs worldwide because rabid dogs are creatures of peace that reject any and all ideas of biting another living creature.

    Professor of Sharia law, Dr. Idriz Bilibani is a true scholar of Islam, unlike know-it-alls like David Cameron and John Kerry who claim to know Islam better than Denis Hadzic does.

    ‘But Denis,’ they say, ‘Haven’t you forgotten the ‘peaceful teachings’ of Islam somehow?’

    The Islamic education of David Cameron and John Kerry? 5 minutes every week!

    The Islamic education of Dr. Idriz Bilibani ? 8 to 12 years! So who knows more about ‘real’ Islam?

    After the illegal seizure of Kosovo, aided and abetted by criminal
    Bill Clinton, why are Serbs allowing these Islamic pests to enjoy
    Serbian hospitality. Have they forgotten 500 years of Turk brutality?

      Unfortunately these Muslims have been on that land for centuries and cannot be thrown out. Even when Albanians who jumped over the border from Albania could not be chased out because the US protected them, we can’t even wish for the Muslims of Serbia to be kicked out.
      If anyone was to try it, NATO is ready to start bombing again.
      Serbia is just as much of a victim of Islam invasion and takeover as everyone else.
      Serbs have fought the Muslims before and won but then nobody else was fighting on Muslim side. Times are different now.

    Ok Kerry, Cameron, Obama, Australia and others that belive Islam is a religion of peace, pleace provide some Koran verses to support this. The Koran only supports violence.

    It seems that Mr Kerry’s reading & comprehension skills might be a bit below par. He doesn’t understand the qur’an and he doesn’t think ‘Death to America’ means that the ayatollahs, mullahs & imams mean The USA any harm.
