Britain is one of the forerunners of enmity towards Islam and Muslims: they are the ones who laid the foundation for the Zionist state in Palestine,” declares the cover story in the Voice of Khorasan, an English-language magazine linked to Isis-Khorasan (Isis-K), in its January edition.

The headline on the article, published by Al-Azam Media Foundation, which proclaims its adherence to Islamic State Khorasan Province, is “Reality of the Wild West: United Kingdom of Kufir [infidels]”.

On the topic of Britain, it says: “A list of their crimes against the Muslims is enormously long. The British Crusaders hardly left a stone unturned in their machinations against Islam. Ever since Muslims had engaged in war against the Crusaders, Britain played [a] most vital role.”
