Although the leaflets do not specifically cite the militant group terrorising civilians in Iraq and Syria, they refer to an “established” Islamic state.
1. A group of students were seen yesterday handing out leaflets in one of London’s most popular areas, encouraging Muslims to travel to Syria and Iraq to pledge allegiance to the militant group ISIS.

The leaflets discuss the importance of Islamic law, and say Muslims have seven responsibilities, including pledging allegiance to “the Khaleef” (ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi), praying to God to advise him, and travelling to the region if possible.
The leaflet reads: “Muslims with the help of Allah have announced the re-establishment of the Khilafah and appointed an imam as a Khaleef.”
Those handing out leaflets in Oxford Circus were previously students of radical preacher Anjem Choudary and live in Luton, the Evening Standard reported.
4. A Muslim woman, Asmaa Al-kufaishi, said she saw the same group speaking to crowds outside Topshop in Oxford Street on Saturday. She said she did not see the leaflets in question, but told BuzzFeed that the group “didn’t know anything about Islam”.
