Describing Europe as "the land of the epidemic", the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group has issued a travel advisory for its operatives warning them against travel to the coronavirus-hit continent under a new set of sharia directives, reports Economic Times.
It must be noted that as per World Health Organisation (WHO), Europe is now the epicentre of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.
The said instructions were given to its supporters via ISIS’ 'Al-Naba' newsletter. The terror groups had on multiple occasions instructed its operatives to plot attacks in Europe.
However, in the wake of the coronavirus, the terror group has given instructions that those who may have caught the disease should not leave the region and prevent the decease from spreading. While the healthy ones should not enter Europe, which it called the “the land of epidemic”.
The newsletter read, "healthy should not enter the land of the epidemic and the afflicted should not exit from it". It also instructs followers to "cover their mouths when yawning and sneezing" and to wash their hands regularly.
The ISIS newsletter has referred to a plague, presumably the coronavirus, and described it as a "torment sent by God on whomsoever He wills", adding, "Illnesses do not strike by themselves but by the command and decree of God."

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
