Islamic State Ramps Up Its Campaign Against Christians
Christian Today ^ | 9/3/22 | Aira Chilcott

In the past two months, the transnational Islamic jihadist organisation known as Islamic State (IS) has released three propaganda videos in non-Arabic languages.

On 14 June, IS West Africa Province in Nigeria released a video in Hausa, the largest ethnic/language group in West and Central Africa.

On 1 July, IS in Iraq released a video in Kurdish, which is spoken in Iraqi Kurdistan, north and east Syria, and much of eastern Turkey.

On 30 July, IS in Somalia released a 25-minute video in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. The Amharic-language video specifically calls for jihad against Ethiopia's Christians and government.

Then, on 3 August, IS in Khorasan Province (greater Afghanistan) released a fatwa (legal order) calling for attacks on Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Shi'ite places of worship.

Ethiopia

The Amharic video was released just a week after Islamic State forces from Somalia were routed in Ethiopia's eastern Somali region - see RLPB 655 (27 July).

The video – which is entitled 'On the Path of the Conquerors' - includes Arabic subtitles and is narrated by a jihadist named Abu 'Isa Al-Ethiopi. It has been analysed by MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorist Threat Monitor (JTTM). Abu 'Isa opens with a narration on the long 1,400-year struggle between Muslims and 'unbelieving Christians' in the Horn of Africa.

Islam is a blasphemous religion expressly in the spirit of Antichrist. All who have put their hope in Mohammad to their last have perished.
