Attacks in Europe :: A New Strategy to Influence Hijra to IS Distant Wilayats? / [Recurso electrónico] .-- : S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) , February, 2017 .-- Recurso online, 4 p. .-- ;No. 2 (Feb 2017) . ;
2016 saw at least eight attacks inspired or
directed by the ‘Islamic State’ terrorist group that
left hundreds dead and injured in Europe. Other
than claiming responsibility for these attacks, IS
also heightened its rhetoric on hijra (emigration)
to its controlled territories and wilayats
(provinces). These attacks were intended to
deliver two important messages: to draw
attention to IS operational capabilities, and to
encourage European Muslims to emigrate to IS
distant wilayats in the wake of public outrage
over IS-claimed off-shore attacks. Given the
resultant anti-Muslim backlash, it is imperative
that states formulate and review mechanisms to
strengthen social cohesion and inter-religious
relations.
