Baghdad: Clearly underscoring its frightening reach all the way to Washington, the Islamic State (IS), popularly known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for Republican presidential candidate for 2016 Donald Trump. This blatant attack on America bursts the myth that ISIS is limited to the Middle East and doesnt have access to the US.
We take complete responsibility for Donald Trump, ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said in an exclusive interview with Khabaristan Times. This is the biggest attack that we have executed outside the Middle East or South Asia, he added.
Baghdadis announcement comes after Trump was being lambasted by the global media for his shocking response to a question in a Trump campaign rally in Rochester, New Hampshire. The question asked was: When can we get rid of all the Muslims in America?
It is safe to say that no one has brought a bad name to so-called Muslims like we have, Baghdadi said. Trump is clearly following our anti-Muslim instructions, he added.
Only after these non-violent so-called Muslims are eliminated from America, would we, the true Muslims, be able to infiltrate the US.
The ISIS chief however expressed his surprise that no one had seen through their manoeuvre that is now quite a few months old.
Trump, like ISIS, is against vaccinations and immigrants. He manifests supremacism as well. Its amazing that no one has seen through the façade, he said.
Dubbing Trump a slowly ticking time bomb that would explode in 2016, Baghdadi outlined his plans for the US.
Trump is our khalifa for the American continents. He shall inshallah impose Shariah law in America, he said. We couldnt have found anyone better to establish the totalitarian, narrow and bigoted ideology and jurisprudence of ISIS.
