The Serious Threats of the Islamic State to Spain: 'we Have Been Ordered to Kill Everyone...'

In recent weeks, the wave of terrorist attacks in Europe has increased significantly. Several European cities have been the scene of attacks, raising concerns about the reactivation of terrorist cells linked to the Islamic State (Daesh).

According to reports from Memri and various social media, a channel affiliated with this extremist organization has disseminated a propaganda poster inciting its followers to attack Spain. It specifically mentions a place of worship, suggesting a cathedral.

In the published image, a hooded individual is seen holding a dagger in front of the facade of a religious temple. The message, written in English, exhorts to commit attacks:

Make the next news yourself and show them your anger for what is happening to Muslims. Follow the steps of your brothers who preceded you and sowed fear in the hearts of the unbelievers!

This type of threat is part of the global campaign launched by the Islamic State against the Christian community since August 2016, when they published guidelines in their magazine Dabiq. In these documents, the extremists justify their actions by claiming it is a religious confrontation, which they consider a holy war.

The terrorist organization's messages also insist that their struggle will continue until they achieve their objectives, mentioning cities like Constantinople (now Istanbul) and Rome as symbols of their expansion. They also interpret the Quran in a radical way to legitimize the use of violence.

European authorities remain on alert in the face of these threats, reinforcing security at strategic points to prevent possible attacks and protect the population.

The New Order of the Islamic State to Commit Mass Attacks in Europe

Terrorist attacks in Europe are on the rise. European authorities have raised alarms following the dissemination on social media of a new propaganda campaign attributed to the Islamic State. The message, published by the unofficial platform Al Saif Media, urges jihadists to carry out vehicle attacks against crowds in cities across the continent.

The propaganda material, joined by a graphic circulating on digital platforms, delivers a direct message:

What are you waiting for? The streets are full of targets. Run them over!

Among the possible scenarios mentioned for these attacks are Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Vienna, Brussels, Antwerp, and Salzburg. The dissemination of this content has raised concerns among European security forces. They have intensified their surveillance efforts in light of the possibility that these calls to violence could inspire new attacks.
