A video posted on the Internet on November 16 by the information bureau of the Islamic State in Salah Al-Din Province, Iraq, features three speakers who praise the perpetrators of the Paris attacks and vow that ISIS will continue to strike France, as well as elsewhere in Europe, and will also strike America in its heart – Washington DC.


"And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively."


Abu Ibrahim Al-Jazrawi: "In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, who granted victory to his servants, the Muslims, over the infidels.


[...]


"This is my message to my brothers, the mujahideen in France, the land of heresy. Congratulations for what you did to the nations of heresy. Congratulations for what you did to the people of heresy. Congratulations for satisfying the will of Allah. You have pleased your brothers in Iraq and Syria and everywhere. May Allah reward you and bless you for your efforts. Congratulations to those who gained a martyr's death in this blessed attack."


[...]


Al-Gharib Al-Jaze'ri: "I would like to congratulate the Islamic nation for this high-profile attack, which was successful with the help of Allah. I ask Allah to accept our brothers as martyrs, and make us follow in their footsteps. I say to France, which has destroyed and killed millions and millions of Muslims, in decades if blood-soaked history: The men of Islamic monotheism have come to you, the Muslims have awakened, the mujahideenhave set foot on your land and set you on fire."


Abu Ibrahim Al-Jazrawi: "You are the ones who started it, and the time has come for revenge. By Allah, we shall come to you and exact vengeance for the sake of Allah. I swear that we will take revenge for the sake of the religion of Allah. I swear that we will take revenge for the sake of the Messenger of Allah. I swear that we will avenge the blood of the Muslims."


Al-Gharib Al-Jaze'ri: "I say to the countries of Europe: We are coming to you. We are coming to you with car bombs and explosions. We are coming to you with explosives vests and silencers. You cannot respond to us because we are far stronger now than we were before. Today, we are a Caliphate that follows the guidance of prophethood. You have witnessed only one wave out many more waves to come. Allah willing, more operations will follow. You should know, oh France, that we have not forgotten and never will forget."


[...]


Al-Akrar Al-Iraqi: "Allah willing, you will not sleep a wink. Even in your bedrooms you will not be safe from us. By Allah, we shall make you drink from the goblets of death. Allah said: 'And fight against the disbelievers collectively, as they fight against you collectively.'"


Al-Gharib Al-Jaze'ri: "This is a clear message to you (France), and to all those who joined your Crusader pact, in North Africa, the Middle East, and in many other places, such as Afghanistan, Mali, Iraq, and Syria. Allah willing we shall conquer France. This is according to the promise of the Prophet, who said that we would enter Rome, and enter it we shall, Allah willing."


Al-Akrar Al-Iraqi: "We say to the countries participating in the Crusader campaign: By Allah you will experience a day similar to the one experienced by France, since if we have struck France in its heart - in Paris - we swear that Allah willing, we will strike America in its heart - in Washington."
