【Kuala Lumpur】Warning that terrorism was the “biggest threat” to the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 22nd of November said it should be delinked from religion.
　Making an intervention at the East Asia Summit (EAS), he emphasised the need for building a new global resolve and new strategies for combating terrorism, without balancing them against political considerations.
　“No country should use or support terrorism. [Ensure] there is no distinction between groups; there are no sanctuaries; there are no funds; there is no access to arms. But, we also have to work within our societies and with our youth.”
　He underlined the need for ensuring that internet does not become a “recruiting ground” for terrorism, amid the growing trend of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) luring youth from across the globe, and spoke about the world coming together to use “military force” and “international legal systems” to fight the menace.

○IS lures new recruits with promises of job, rule of sharia and 'jihadi bride'

【New Delhi】Nineteen-year-old Mohd Jabeer, a native of Kerala's Malappuram, was attracted by the Islamic State's black flag. The banner (flag) is significant as a saying in 'hadith' (words of Prophet Mohammad), "There will emerge from Khorasan black banners which nothing will repel until they are set up in Aelia (Rome)."
　Khorasan is a term for a historical region which includes Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan. Jabeer and many other Indian youths are lured into jihad by promise to establish the rule of Sharia (law of Islam). One of the two young men from Chennai deported from Turkey early this month during their interrogation said for them, "ISIS was an opportunity that will provide them jobs and and an opportunity to live with dignity."
　Islamic State (IS) headhunters on the internet exhort India's Muslim youth to join the organisation to 'fulfill' the words of the prophet. "You will be honored as 'knights' if you join the IS fight in Syria," recalls one of the Indians an IS recruiter as telling him.

○IS ‘sympathiser’ from Karnataka held in Dubai

【Bengaluru】A youth in his mid-20s, hailing from Karnataka’s coastal town of Bhatkal and accused of handling a Twitter account of the banned Islamic State, has been detained by the police in the United Arab Emirates on a tip-off from the Telangana police in March this year.
　The detention of Adnan Hassan Damudi in Dubai came after his efforts to woo youth from Telangana to the IS were tracked, sources in the Intelligence Bureau confirmed to The Hindu.
　The sources said Damudi, who went to Dubai in 2012 to take up an accountant’s job, started tweeting IS propaganda. They said that not only did he woo a few youths from Telangana, but he also assured them of travel documents and travel expenses.
