ISIS warns of severe attack on Britain that will 'turn children's hair white'

Source: The Times of India

The Islamic State terror group has warned Britain of an attack more severe than the Paris strikes, saying the country will receive the "lion's share" of the slaughter for its "declaration of war against Muslims".

In the latest edition of its Arabic newspaper 'al-Naba' (The News), ISIS warns that the UK should be prepared for an attack more severe than in Paris last November which claimed 130 lives.

According to 'The Sunday Times', the article eulogises Mohammed Emwazi, the British national dubbed Jihadi John who was killed by a US drone strike.

It said "his words will never die" and that his message of slaughter did not end "with the blood of the soldiers of the caliphate who sent it to France in their own special way".

Britain will receive the "lion's share" of the slaughter "in response to its declaration of war against the Muslims", the group said in reference to last month's UK Parliament vote on airstrikes against ISIS in Syria.

An attack on Britain will be so severe, it claims, "that it will turn children's hair to white". The warning refers to a Quranic verse outlining the horrors of the Judgement Day.

ISIS had released a video last week that featured nine of the Paris attackers, including ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud.

By examining the montage frame by frame, 'The Sunday Times' has identified a string of potential targets, including Buckingham Palace and the National Gallery in central London.

.. but then choose the softest targets imaginable. A concert venue, a hotel, a social services agency.

A Muslim woman risked her neck by going undercover for a year to make the documentary and it's extremely enlightening about both the methods used and the way they use women as their main recruiters.

The Sunday Times is obviously staffed by fools. Wannabe revolutionaries who will claim glory for ISIS are not going to attack any hardened targets. They're much more likely to gas everybody in Harrods or blow up a rock concert like they did in Paris. ISIS is made up of utter cowards who only attack civilians going about their business.

Thanks for posting.

These women, and men, who rail against democracy, within a democratic country. These women who while walking the streets, setting up demonstrations, have all the freedom in the world to travel where they want, talk to whomever. What kind of mindset are they in to preach for a world where they have zero rights, and no voting power, and subject to the whim of a man they may be forced to marry?

Religion sucks.

I was simply struck by how their dichotomous warrior discursive productions (writing, speech, "thinking?&quot is so similar to 9th century Northern European oral literature, but not as poetic.

They all are equally evil and worthless in my eyes.

And as far as ISIS is concerned, they're merely the latest face of abject ignorance, extreme zealotry and hatred.

Do they need to be stopped? Oh hell fucking yes.
But until the 3 Abrahamic religions have gone the way of Greek and Roman mythology, there's always gonna be a group of assholes willing to commit acts of pure barbarism in whatever stupid religion they believe in.

After ISIS is wiped off the face of the Earth, it's only a matter of time before another bunch of Neanderthals claims superiority and starts the slaughter in the name of goawd all over again.

ISIS just has everyone's attention right now.

If we told our Gulf allies to stop funding these guys and Turkey to stop buying their black market oil, they would wither and die in pretty short order.
