Even if none of this happens, although there is little or nothing to prevent it, the issuance of the threat is an end in itself, as it serves to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).
“ISIS fanatics call for lone wolf attacks in Paris in poster showing the Eiffel Tower up in flames,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, February 15, 2019:
ISIS fanatics are calling for so-called ‘lone wolf’ attacks to be carried out in France, using a digitally manipulated image of the Eiffel Tower in Paris going up in flames.
It also shows the black and white flag of the Islamic State flying from the iconic landmark, as another strike is launched on a building nearby.
Supporters of the Islamist terror network have been known to release similar posters in the past, often using images of major Western cities such as New York and London.
They are often shared on encrypted messaging apps such as Telegram, to ‘inspire’ extremists to carry out terror attacks.
On Monday, the same group issued a poster depicting an artillery strike on the White House in Washington DC, the Colosseum in Rome and Egypt’s famous pyramids, threatening to ‘demolish thrones’.
On New Year’s Day, they published a chilling poster showing a jihadist with a sniper rifle looking out over New York, and another of a hooded fanatic standing in a crowd in London.
In the image of London, blood can be seen on Big Ben while other buildings burn in the background.
A jihadist with his face hidden holds a finger to his lips next to a caption saying: ‘Welcome to bloody years – The lone wolf action’….
Anjuli Pandavar says
Guess where these “lone wolves” are right now?

France has over 5 million Muslims. About 4, 000 are jihadists. Four thousand jihadists can do a lot of damage.
Muslims hate France because it is the home of the ‘Franks’ who fought the crusades. Osama bin Laden saw France as the leader of the Crusaders.
No Muzzies Here says
With the sheep Macron in charge, there is a good chance they will be able to pull it off.
Westman says
These terror threats are becoming tiresome from incompetents who think iron burns and wouldn’t have a clue of how many bags of what type of powder, what type of projectiles, fuses, or how to use ballistic charts to aim a cannon. All they know is how to use weapons of low intelligence, bought or stolen.
We read of the FBI infiltrating and stopping would be terrorists and in most cases the “jihadists” are downright short of a full deck. It seems that the majority of jihadists are on the low end of the scale while the few exceptional ones do most of the damage or, plan for, and direct those who carry it out.
The Islamic State is on the ropes because 7th century religious education and thinking cannot compete with the West in any field, including warfare.

True in part Westman…
But tell that to those who’ve been on the receiving end of their explosive devices snd somehow survived, or who have lost loved ones to a crazed truck driver or been beheaded, or flown through the air like Sebastien Bellin (of Canada) did at Brussels Airport, or the mother of 6-year-old Zakari who was slaughtered because he was raised a Shia muslim…
As Robert says, their aim wth these posters is to strike terror into people’s hearts. If they did not (strike terror into people’s hearts), I doubt this website would exist…
Westman says
Oh, I agree with you, Observer,
What I’m sugesting is these incompetent, delusional, jihad threats have become so volumous and frequent that, like the boy who cried wolf, they are routinely dissmissed. They are not having the wanted effect of frightening Europeans or Americans who want to swing the doors wide open. This does create an opportunity for the competent jihadist who won’t be noticed in the noise.
Politicians only respond to pressures that threaten their re-election, finances, or person and they obviously think the warning rhetoric exceeds the reality. Like Mayor Khan of London, they expect the governed to simply live with periodic mahem as some kind of, “normal existence”. We here at JW see the reality is, quite diffferent; somewhat like watching Germany’s leader at the 1936 Olympics when the general notion was, do nothing.
somehistory says
Propaganda to sow fear and terror in citizens of those cities and any who might be planning to visit.
Whether or not they carry out attacks, all “lone” terrorists who are molsim have a barracks with “soldiers”, friends, and perhaps family, who assist them before, during and or after the attacks.
James Lincoln says
Unless France has done so already, engineers need to take precise measurements for an Eiffel Tower replica just in case the original is destroyed.
After all, this is one of their prime cash cows.
Of course, if the Islamic state and sharia law totally take over France, the replica will also eventually be destroyed, etc.
Total madness.
Manuel 2 Paleologus says
This is what France deserves. This is what the French people should receive from their muslim friends. They put politicians who open the borders and accepted these monsters and enemies of the Cross in their backyards. They ripe what they saw. And this is only the beginning. It will b a time when those who won’t look muslim will be beheaded on the spot. This is what is coming over Western Europe. These traitors created laws which defend these immigrants under islamophobia. Nobody is allow to criticize them but they can blow off or slaughter people for not being muslim.
Save Europe says
No sympathy for MLP of the FN, supporters?
I do, personally.
Indiana Tom says
Well, at least the ISIS propaganda posters are entertaining. They usually have more imagination than Hollyweird.

Islamic State calls for jihad massacres in Paris, poster shows Eiffel Tower in flames
……………….
All pious Muslims can do is destroy.
Walter Sieruk says
Now that Islamic “state” is calling for large jihad massacres in Paris , France or for “lone wolf” Islamic terrors attach ,as seen in the jihadist shooter and murderer in Strasbourg are revealing if the vicious nature of both ISIS and I slam of which the Islamic “state” is built upon.
There were also those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks of Charlie Hebdo and then later th ose jihad ISIS attack in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack. Then those vicious and murdering ISIS jihad terror attacks in Paris France on July 14, 2016. Even before those malicious ISIS jihad attacks an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.
Therefore, it’s only a matter of time before the people who the citizens of the nation of France experience the horrors of another Islamic terror attack or attacks. In another city of town of France. In other words, it’s not a matter of “if “but of “when.”
