ISIS Wants to ‘Blow Up’ White House, Big Ben and Eiffel Tower

ISIS aims takes it to the next level as the terror group threatens to blow up famous Western landmarks.

The Islamic State (ISIS) terror organization, which is based in Syria and is continuously expanding its influence throughout the Middle East and Africa, has again threatened the West, and notably its famous landmarks.

After months of silence, ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani released a 28-minute audio clip in Arabic last Thursday in which he accepted the Nigerian-based Boko Haram terror organization’s pledge of allegiance to ISIS, calling it “a new door opened by Allah” and directing jihadists to join the battle in West Africa.

Turning to the West, he listed the cities that ISIS is targeting, including Washington, Paris, Rome Jerusalem and Kabul.

“We want, Allah willing, Paris before Rome and before Al-Andalus [Spain and Portugal], [and] after that we will blacken your life and blow up your White House, Big Ben, and the Eiffel Tower, Allah willing,” al-Adani said. “We want Kabul, Karachi, the Caucasus, Qom, Riyadh and Tehran. We want Baghdad, Damascus, Jerusalem, Cairo, Sanaa, Doha, Abu Dhabi and Amman. And Muslims shall return to ruling and leadership everywhere.”

In the clip, which MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) believes is meant mainly to boost the morale of ISIS terrorists, al-Adnani called on Muslims around the world to join ISIS: “All Muslims, you should all come to your State, for we are calling on you to mobilize for jihad. We incite you and call upon you to immigrate for jihad and to immigrate to your brothers in West Africa.”

Threatening the Jews and Christians again, al-Adnani said they have two options in order to be accepted under Islamic caliphate rule, which he asserted would one day spread to Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem: convert to Islam or pay the Jizya poll tax, which is paid by minorities under Muslim rule and ascribed by Sharia law.

Al-Adnani reaffirmed ISIS’s steadfastness in the face of the multi-national campaign against it.

Addressing ISIS terrorists, he said that nothing can stand in their way. “Go ahead, for Mecca, Madina, Al-Quds [Jerusalem], and Rome are awaiting you,” he declared.
