Nusra-Linked Associations Promoting Al-Muhaysini’s Thoughts at Turkish Universities

A report released by Turkish media said the Training Association of Turkish Youths known as Toqora has urged its students to follow speeches of al-Muhaysini, stressing that the move testifies the links between the Saudi Mufti and this association and is aimed at promoting the Nusra movement in Turkish universities.

It is further added that the Toqora forced its university students to take part in rallies in front of the Russian and Iranian embassies in Turkey in December to oppose the battle in Aleppo and announce their allegiance to militants in Aleppo.

The Toqora association has received official work permit from the Turkish government. The association is an educational body whose officials in charge are mostly linked to the terrorist group of al-Turkistani that is battling the Damascus  government in Syria. Some others officials of the association have links with Fatah al-Sham too.

Turkish universities have been the scenes of activities of extremist groups that are after recruiting fresh forces from the students to prepare them to take part in terror acts and demonstrations across Turkish cities.

Meantime, Social media pages affiliated to the opposition groups started trending Hashtag (#) against al-Muhaysini on Monday, accusing him of promoting ISIL’s ideology among other militants.

The social media activists accused him as a promoter of ISIL thoughts under #Al-Muhaysini Did Enough to Destroy Our Revolution.

The activists said al-Muhaysini financed Fatah al-Sham Front, but ignored the groups’ continued aggressions against militant groups affiliated to the Free Syrian Army.

They also accused al-Muhaysini of keeping mum on Jund al-Aqsa’s brutal crimes.

Media sources disclosed in mid-December that the ISIL terrorist group offered a half-a-million dollar reward for any one that could assassinate Abdullah Muhammad al-Muhaysini.

The Arabic language al-Nashra news agency quoted sources privy to ISIL as saying that the Takfiri terrorist group in a statement offered a sum of $ 500,000 reward for the killer of Muhaysini, the Saudi national Mufti (religious judge) of Jeish al-Fatah.

The ISIL released Muhaysini’s photo and his full name, Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Suleiman al-Muhaysini, underling in the statement that Muhaysini was in Idlib.

In August, al Muhaysini once again acknowledged alarming widening rifts among the militants in Aleppo.

“The differences have gone to the extremes,” Muhaysini was quoted as saying by Oqat al-Sham news agency at the time.

He called for banishing the terrorist groups which were sowing differences among militants in Aleppo, and said, “We are not under such conditions to be envied by others given the growing rifts”.
