Islamic State Urges Future Attacks Against Western Countries

There have been a growing number of terrorist attacks across the globe with most of them claiming radical Islam loyalty. While the rest of the world continues to mourn, the Islamic State continues their?lack of remorse and is now publicly urging Muslims living in Western countries to carry out attacks against the infidels.

Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, spokesman for the Islamic State, released an audio recording Monday advocating for loyalists to carry out attacks anywhere across the globe. He further tempted his followers by saying that if they had an opportunity to “shed a drop of blood” that they should do so.

Adding fuel to the fire, Al- Adnani praised the latest attacks in Australia, France, and the Canadian Parliament. He later went on to say:

“We repeat our call to Muslims in Europe, the infidel West, and everywhere to target the Crusaders in their home countries and wherever they find them.”

In a world already in a heightened sense of vulnerability, this is one of the last things the US and its allies wanted to hear. Not only does Al-Adnani want more bloodshed, but he suggests lone Muslims carry out attacks anywhere they see fit. Of course, this audio clip could have been used as a tactic to make headlines, which it did, in order to strike the continuous fear into people that the Islamic State apparently?always tries to do. However, the reality of it is also how convincing was this message to Jihadists across the globe? That is the thought that worries many people.

Part of me wishes this audio clip never made headlines because that’s exactly what they wanted. The fear that hits most people isn’t exactly the terrorist GROUPS that are located abroad but the few sick individuals who seemingly are carrying out more and more attacks all by themselves which is the direction that the Islamic State seems to be promoting and heading to.
