Islamic State jihadis today issued a clear threat to
the heart of Christianity, as they published an image
of their black flag flying above the Vatican.
In a picture on the cover of their official magazine
showing a mock-up of Caliphate-controlled Rome,
the militants’ flag is superimposed on the obelisk in
St Peter’s Square.
It is the front cover of the fourth edition of the ISIS
online propaganda magazine Dabiq, which calls in its
latest issue for a war against the Catholic Church.
The article in Dabiq - named after a town in northern
Syria where in 1516 the Ottomans defeated the
Mamluks, establishing the last Islamic caliphate - also
urged faithful Muslims to attack and kill ‘every
Crusader possible’.
It added that ‘it is lawful to kidnap the women of the
infidels and use them as sex slaves’.
Last month, security officials said that they had
stepped up security at the Vatican following threats
by ISIS, including restricting air space above Vatican
City.
Article in Dabiq magazine
Italy’s most notorious jihadi recruiter Bosnian imam
Bilal Bosnic, who has admitted conscripting young
European Muslim converts to fight with ISIS, said that
the extremist militants will bring Islam even to the
heart of Christendom, even if he does not live to see
it.
He said: ‘In time the whole world will be an Islamic
state. Our goal is to make sure that even the Vatican
will be Muslim.’
Pope Francis was reported to be ‘in the crosshairs’ of
ISIS, because he was the leading proponent of false
truths, according to intelligence sources.
