RNA - For the first time, the group directly referred to Trump thorough its spokesman, Abi al-Hassan al- Muhajer, on Tuesday.
“There is no more evidence than (that) you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is,” he was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
The group’s silence was broken long after Trump’s repeated promises on the campaign trail to tackle the terrorist group after winning the White House in the 2016 presidential election.
“Die of spite America, die of spite, a nation where both young and old are racing to die in the name of God will not be defeated,” Muhajer said.
The terror group also threatened to attack Americans across the world.
“America you have drowned and there is no savior, and you have become prey for the soldiers of the caliphate in every part of the earth, you are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye.”
Trump contribution to Takfirism
The statement was released a day after Trump was mentioned on top of a “kill list,” published by a pro-Daesh hacker group, called the United Cyber Caliphate.
“Kill them wherever you find them,” the UCC said. “Know that we continue to wage war against you. Know that your counter attacks only make us stronger. The UCC will start a new step in this war against you. So expect us soon.”
The US started airstrikes in Iraq and Syria on the pretext of battling the group in the administration of former President Barack Obama.
The new president’s unpopularity, particularly among Muslims across the world, is reportedly being used by Takfiris, seeking to whip up support for their terror agenda.
In an interview with Reuters last year, a top Takfiri commander in Afghanistan directly acknowledged that, describing Obama as a “moderate infidel.”
“This guy (Trump) is a complete maniac,” said Abu Omar Khorasani. “His utter hate towards Muslims will make our job much easier because we can recruit thousands.”
