Al-Furqan Media Foundation
Tajotep: /* History */
The '''al-Furqan Foundation for Media Production''' (, muasasat alfurqan lil'iintaj al'ilamii) is the primary media production house of the [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]]. It is responsible for production of major media releases, including the statements of the spokesman and leader of the group.
==History==
The Al-Furqan Media Foundation was founded by the Iraqi man Dr Wa'il al-Fayad, known as [[Abu Muhammad al-Furqan]]. He got his name "al-Furqan" from his role in founding this media house, which was named after the 25th sura of the Quran [[Al-Furqan]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> It is the oldest media production house for the Islamic State, being founded in November 2006 to release media for the [[Islamic State of Iraq]] which produces CDs, DVDs, posters, pamphlets, and web-related propaganda products and official statements.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The earliest release indexed by the [[SITE Intelligence Group]] is on 21 November 2006, documenting the storming of a police station in the Iraqi town of [[Miqdadiyah]].<ref></ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
Al-Furqan is considered to be a considerable innovation in jihadist media, with [[Kavkaz Center]] describing it as "a milestone on the path of jihad, a distinguished media that takes the great care in the management of the conflict with the crusaders and their tails and to expose the lies in the crusader's media."
In October 2007, the [[Long War Journal]] reported on United States Army raids targeting al-Furqan media cell members across Iraq, including in Mosul and Samarra.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
