Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) is calling on Muslims in Morocco and Tunisia to join its ranks and overthrow the two countries' "apostate" governments.
ISIL on Jan. 12 launched a new media campaign directed at Muslims in the Islamic Maghreb, urging potential jihadist to join ISIL strongholds in Tunisia, Libya, Mali and Algeria in order to oust the democratic governments of Tunisia and Morocco and replace them with an Islamic regime based on Sharia law.
ISIL believes the governments of Morocco and Tunisia are attempting to "westernize" Muslims by "cultivating Western lifestyles" which contradict Islamic tradition.
A jihadist speaking in one of the ISIL videos urges Muslims to attack Tunisia, saying:
"Follow in the footsteps of your brothers in Paris. Is it easier to bypass the security measures in Paris than in Tunisia? No. But we know Tunisia and we know its coward policemen. Hence, you can do twice as much as your brothers have done in France."
The terror organization's campaign against Tunisia and Morocco comes amid growing civil unrest in both countries. In Morocco, police dispersed a mass protest of teacher trainees that took place on Jan. 7. In Tunisia, nationwide protests of unemployed people have taken place in recent weeks.
