90,000 mosques invoke ‘conquest’ prayers against infidels

During of a cross-border operation by Turkish troops against ethnic Kurds in Syria, all 90,000 mosques in the country over the weekend invoked a prayer from the Quran that promises reward for jihad and commands that Muslim warriors be “ruthless against unbelievers.”

The attack was launched Saturday in Syria’s northwestern Afrin region against the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units, who are fighting ISIS, reported the English-language Hürriyet Daily News in Turkey. The Turkish government regards its Kurdish minority and the Kurds across its borders as enemies of the state because of their quest for independence.
