ISIS Tells British Wannabe Terrorists: Shave Off Beards And Wear Crosses



Islamic State recently released a handbook for wannabe terrorists in Britain on how to blend in while planning a terror attack in order to avoid being detected by police.

According to the report released on Monday in British newspaper The Mirror, the 58-page English-language booklet titled Safety and Security Guidelines for Lone Wolf Mujahideen, was written in Syria was created so "non-Arabic speaking brothers ... may apply it to their blessed operations."

"No doubt that today, at the era of the lone wolves, brothers in the West need to know some important things about safety in order to ensure success in their operations," it reads.

Among the booklet's advice was to stay clean-shaven and not carry Islamic religious items on them.

"If you can avoid having a beard, wearing qamis (long tunic), using miswak (a teeth-cleaning twig recommended by Prophet Muhammad) and having a booklet of dhikr (short devotional phrases and prayers) with you, it’s better."

for somebody to do something.

Would it be war mongering to say that ISIS should be absolutely defeated? Maybe someone should suggest that to someone.
