In the nearly 42-minute long meandering propaganda speech uploaded to
Twitter, ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani encourages Muslims to kill
“disbelievers” in countries, including Canada, currently supporting American
and French-backed military action against the group in Iraq “in any manner.”
“If you can kill a disbelieving American or
European — especially the spiteful and filthy
French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or
any other disbeliever from the disbelievers
waging war, including the citizens of the
countries that entered into a coalition against
the Islamic State … kill him in any manner or
way however it may be,” said Adnani.
Threats made in the audio recording mirror
those ISIS has made in other propaganda
releases, including during the grisly beheading
videos of two American journalists , James
Foley and Stephen Sotloff, and British aid
worker David Haines.
Adnani blamed Western allies for instigating a
war against the terrorist group, and said the
ongoing air incursions against ISIS positions in
Iraq will be “the final campaign of the
crusaders.”
Unlike other terrorist organizations such as al-
Qaeda, ISIS has established a widespread presence on social networks , using
highly produced videos and audio recordings in an effort to recruit new
fighters from abroad and intimidate those opposed to their murderous agenda
