| IS message calling on followers to kill Australians, French, Canadian, American or European a genuine threat: Bishop |
| 2014-09-24 |
| [ABNA.IR] The first formal call by the terrorist group for a war against and in the West was issued by the group's front man Abu Muhammad al-Adnani ash-Shami yesterday. This morning Australian Federal Police officers armed with assault rifles could be seen on guard outside Parliament House in Canberra. The decision to post heavily-armed coppers outside Parliament House was taken by Speaker Bronwyn Bishop and the President of the Senate, based on advice from security agencies. In a speech that was uploaded to the internet as an audio file, al-Adnani said: "If you can kill an American or European infidel -- especially the spiteful and cursed French -- or an Australian or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the infidel fighters ... then rely upon God and kill them in any way possible." Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who is in New York ahead of UN Security Council meetings on Iraq and Syria later this week, said no-one was safe from Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... holy warriors. "Our agencies are treating this threat as genuine, and it's quite apparent that ISIL is prepared to take on anyone who doesn't share its views," she told AM, using an alternative name for Islamic State. "We are a threat -- not because of what we're prepared to do to combat ISIL, but because of who we are. "ISIL is killing Shia, Sunni, Kurds, Christians; they're killing aid workers, journalists. "That's why we're so committed to containing and degrading and destroying ISIL as far as we can in cooperation with other countries." |

| #4 There was a report today of a French citizen who was beheaded in Algeria by an AQ franchise. French Citizen. The author of the article states: "If we can’t retaliate with nukes, can we at least impale the terrorists?" |
