The terror group Islamic State today called on Muslims to commit murder on the streets of those Western countries taking part in the US-led anti-jihadist coalition.
In an echo of the murder of the British serviceman Lee Rigby on the streets of Woolwich, an Isis spokesman urged the group’s supporters in the West to knock people over with a car and hack at them with knives.
“If you can kill a disbelieving American or European, especially the spiteful and filthy French, or an Australian, or a Canadian ... including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him,” said Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, spokesman for the group which is also known as Isis and Isil.
