Asalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Barakatuhu, I am a English speaking Muslim from Finland, I am a sister and a current member of the group. I hope this clears up some rumors of the group, I hope you brother's can understand. :) I am writing this txt down to correct the profile of this abandoned account for outsiders. ======================================================================================== Here are the points I would like to bring up: ======================================================================================== 1. This reddit account belonged to a former supporter of the Islamic State ======================================================================================== - The brother does not hate the Islamic state nor supports it, he is a Muslim, he wants to learn more about Deen before reevaluating this. ======================================================================================== 2. What about the anti furry stuff on it ======================================================================================== - At the time this account was created, the main source of supporters (non members) of afisis (supporters of the Islamic state group) were anti furries, because, at the time, the group was spreading its content in the anti furry community. ======================================================================================== 3. Why exactly? ======================================================================================== - Well, they wanted the message of their videos to be spread, the anti furry community was simply the most available at the time, with its flaws of course. This doctrine of the afisis group has been removed and replaced with the new doctrine, which is changing the recruitment pool to "hardcore extremists" and not larping anti furries. Imagine it like how modern al Qaeda operates, they work with the murtaddin and kuffar to support their group alot, well, this doctrine, as previously stated, has been abolished in favor of more hardcore supporters on "rocketchat". ======================================================================================== 4. What is the video for then? It says "Anti Furry group on the prophetic methodology". ======================================================================================== - The video was to appeal to the anti furry recruitment pool/supporter pool, as answered previously, it has been abrogated/abolished all together. ======================================================================================== 5. How do you have this account? ======================================================================================== - We all trust each other, this reddit account was under a throwaway mail account, so it didn't really matter, the brother who owned it gave it to another brother (whom which is French), then that brother gave me the account. ======================================================================================== 6. AFISIS means anti furry isis, you guys are larpers! ======================================================================================== - Hehe :) I find this one silly.. The original meaning of afisis was "Ansar (in French it would be Partisans) de l'etat islamique" or "Supporters (Ansar) of the Islamic state" in English. Ansar (A) oF (F) the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), formal name is "AFIS", though "AFISIS" is still being used due to owners decision. "Anti furry isis" is a insult created by anti furries, and furries, as well as discord clanners, who hated afisis and wished for its destruction. Also, for the claim about "larpers", if you view any afisis video and call it "larping", then you're seriously mistaken.. Supporting a terrorist group, by the fbi's definition, is literally material support for terrorist groups, something illegal by the man made laws of many governments, larpers pretend to be something they are not for fun, they do not truly support the Islamic state if they larp as it. (only larp for fun) Many articles by site intel and memri, as well as other sites, such as counter extremism project, have reported on afisis and the rocket chat (techhaven) which it is in. And guess what? those journalists which do that report to the government! it would be too riskey for larpers to do this, afisis is a genuine supporter group, and in'sha'allah their members and group will remain to continue supporting the Islamic state. ======================================================================================== May Allah protect us all. <3 ---- Umm Aisha Al Finlandiyyah, senior member of afisis
