Central intelligence and security agencies which have been tasked to look for possible Islamic State (IS) modules in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the wake of the April 21 suicide bombings in Sri Lanka have identified over two dozen radical Islamic preachers in these two states who are spreading venom in the name of religion and their speeches and motivating young people to join the jihad or holy war, two top counterterrorism officials said, reports Hindustan times on May 10. There are 25-26 Islamic preachers who regularly give provocative lectures on religious fundamentalism, hand out jihadi literature, belittle other religions in their speeches and encourage young Muslims to propagate the Sharia law. Some go far enough to support the activities of global terror outfits like Al-Qaeda (AQ) and IS.
