Dismantled ISIS Cell in Morocco Found with Extremist Literature, Police Say

The book is written by Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, an Egyptian writer who, according to Adil Alhassani, a researcher and political analyst, is considered one of Osama Bin Laden’s Sheikhs and one of the authors of the second wave of political Islam after Sayyid Qutb. "Without exaggeration, this book can very quickly turn a young man, aged between 16 and 30, who has not been educated in critical thinking, into a terrorist," reveals the researcher on his Facebook page.

He explains that this is a book that was written in the context of the war in Afghanistan. The aim was to encourage Arab fighters, including Moroccans. But today, this book remains a bomb in the hands of a "young person who feels poverty or marginalization and is blinded by ignorance or an intellectual who suffers from narcissism," reports Hespress.

But how did the pamphlet that clearly incites "jihad" end up in the hands of a terrorist cell in Morocco? For the political analyst, it can be easily downloaded from the internet. In addition, the ulemas in Morocco and abroad have not faced these books by refuting their contents with arguments from religion and on the end of Jihad. He also deplored the silence of Morocco and even the Islamic world on the excesses of certain extremist sheikhs on the internet. The researcher condemns the absence of laws criminalizing apostasy, specifies the same source.
