Al-Adnani called on fanatics to "terrorise [people] so the neighbour fears his neighbour", in the group's most strident call for attacks yet.

He said: "The smallest action you do in the heart of their land is dearer to us than the largest action by us, and more effective and more damaging to them.
"And if one of you wishes and tries hard to reach the Islamic State, then one of us wishes to be in your place to hurt the Crusaders day and night without sleeping, and terrorise them so that the neighbour fears his neighbour."

It was the latest in a string of calls for attacks by al-Adnani, who Western intelligence believe oversees the group's external attack plotting.


As I said, they don't attack us because we're free, they attack us because it is a religious war and they identify us as Christians. They explicitly call us Crusaders. We need to identify who we're fighting and what we're defending. Screw radical Islamic terrorism, that implies that some types of terror isn't radical, we're fighting Islamic terrorism.

Another thread proving the complete lack of sanity from the left.

I love how you're saying this and MK just said

I think you may have to wonder is the term offensive to him due to his upbringing.
but that's totally fine, right?
Well, he was born to a Muslim father and lived with his Muslim stepfather in Indonesia for a while, where he undoubtedly made Muslim friends. That doesn't make him a Muslim, but it is possible that because of his family background and childhood experiences, he is hesitant to be critical of Islam or to publicly utter the words "radical Islam". I think that is understandable and I cut Obama some slack on this issue because of it.

Barack Obama Sr. became an atheist before Obama was born.
Okay, a former Muslim father. Does it really change his personal connection with Islam? It's not like I'm theorizing that Obama himself is a Muslim.
