Khilafah.is
Khilafah.is was an English-language website which published information related to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[1][2][3] The domains Khilafah.is and Khilafa.is were suspended by the Icelandic domain registry ISNIC in October, 2014.[4] Khilafah.is hosted a large archive of news releases and other media produced for ISIL, including the first four issues of Dabiq magazine and the speeches of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Khilafah.is was registered by Azym Abdullah to an address in New Zealand.
Response to suspension[edit]
Iceland’s Prime Minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, supported the suspension, saying “this has nothing to do with freedom of expression, but criminal and monstrous conduct. We have to be able to shut that down." [5] Jens Jensen, the head of ISNIC, insisted that the government did not exert direct pressure on him to suspend the domains.[6]
