“The Islamic State exists and it will exist and it will expand with the help of Allah. Your throne is already shaking. It is in danger and it will collapse when we get to you. We are on the way with Allah’s permission.’
As I said, one thing is certain: the Islamic State will continue to advance, and will continue to terrorize Infidels and take hostages, until it is stopped. It is not going to calm down, because it believes itself to be carrying out the dictates of divine law. Its leaders are not going to read the Qur’an and suddenly realize that they overlooked all the moderate bits.

The chilling warning, delivered by a member of the terror group, puts the Kremlim leader on the same side as the West in holding back Muslim extremism.

“The Islamic State exists and it will exist and it will expand with the help of Allah. Your throne is already shaking. It is in danger and it will collapse when we get to you. We are on the way with Allah’s permission.’
The threatening footage comes with Russian subtitles, but the voice of a Russian speaker can be heard too.
In the sequence, in which the Islamic warriors clamber over the Sukhoi fighter, they also threaten the Syrian dictator, branding him a ‘pig’ and vowing to ‘use these aircraft to get to you’….
