The caliph should cancel this call. After all, the Trudeau government is fighting hard against “Islamophobia.” And isn’t that supposed to be what causes jihad terror?
“ISIL releases new audio purportedly of leader al-Baghdadi encouraging attacks in Canada,” Associated Press, August 23, 2018:
BEIRUT — The Islamic State group has released a new militant audio recording, purportedly of its shadowy leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi inciting followers to attack Canada and Europe.
In the audio, al-Baghdadi — whose whereabouts and fate remain unknown — urges followers to “persevere” and continue fighting the group’s enemies everywhere.
The 54-minute audio entitled “Give Glad Tidings to the Patient” was released by the extremist group’s central media arm, al-Furqan Foundation, on Wednesday evening.
The audio’s authenticity could not be independently verified and there were no clues as to where it was recorded.
The group first called on followers to attack Canada in 2014 in an audio recording by spokesman Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani. One month later, ISIL would take credit for Michael Zehaf-Bibeau storming Parliament Hill and killing Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. Since then, ISIL has also taken credit for the Danforth shootings in Toronto, where Faisal Hussain killed two and injured 13. Authorities, however, have said there’s no evidence to support a link between Hussain and ISIL.
The question of whether al-Baghdadi is dead or alive has been a continuing source of mystery and confusion. The extremist group has lost around 90 per cent of territory it controlled in Iraq and Syria in 2014, when IS declared its so-called “caliphate.”
He is believed to be hiding somewhere in the desert that stretches across the Syrian-Iraqi border region. His last audio message was on Sept. 28, 2017 in which he called on his followers to burn their enemies everywhere and target “media centres of the infidels.”…
“America is going through the worst time in its entire existence,” al-Baghdad says, adding that Russia is competing with the U.S. over regional influence and clout….
