ISIS now DESPERATE for fighters as civilians become wise to propaganda machine

"DESPERATE" Islamic State (ISIS) extremists are failing to lure jihadis to their 'caliphate', as millions of Muslims continue to flee their savage rule.

Senior British imams have said the depraved terror network is being eroded by defections as the promise of an Islamic paradise outlined in laughable propaganda had failed to materialise.

Power cuts, food shortages and barbaric punishments for even minor 'crimes' have put off many wannabe jihadis who had made the journey to ISIS-strongholds in northern Syria and Iraq.

The claims form part of an online magazine produced by British Muslim scholars in an attempt to counter the well-oiled ISIS propaganda machine.

Haqiqah states: "Now ISIS in their desperation are telling Syrians they are committing a 'major sin' in Islam if they seek protection in the West.

"According to Daesh [ISIS], this makes thousands of Muslim refugees who are fleeing unspeakable oppression from Daesh, other groups and Assad 'apostates'."

Haqiqah - which means reality - seeks to challenge the hate-filled ISIS propaganda 'magazine' Dabiq.

It's first issue was launched earlier this year and has been downloaded more than 75,000 times.

The latest edition, published today, argues the current migration crisis in Europe is proof that the notion of an Islamic state has failed.

ISIS is pumping out nearly 40 propaganda messages a day to convert Muslims into extremists.

An estimated 30,000 foreigners have entered Syria alone to join ISIS, with a significant number of Britons amongst them.

But the group of moderate British muslims behind Haqiqah has set out to "expose the reality behind ISIS".

Shaukat Warraich, editor-in-chief of Haqiqah, said: "Daesh is failing on multiple fronts, it is becoming increasingly desperate.

"The mass exodus of refugees has exposed their false claim of having established a 'Caliphate' for Muslims in the region."

Dr Qari Asim, a senior editor at the magazine, added: "The reality is that Daesh continues to put out a huge amount of propaganda and lies, despite its promises being exposed as falsehoods, which is why a continued effort to reclaim the digital space from terrorists is so important.

"In its desperation at its own failings, it has told Syrians that they are committing a 'major sin' in Islam if they seek protection in the West. According to Daesh, this makes thousands of refugees apostates. This is a wicked and inhumane lie."
