Prophet Remarks Backlash: Islamic State Threatens Terror Attacks Against India

New Delhi: The backlash over now-expelled BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma continues.

After condemnation from a number of Gulf countries and violent protests across India, an affiliate of dreaded terror outfit Islamic State (IS) has now threatened terror attack against India.

In a video, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) has warned that attacks will be launched on Hindus to avenge the insult of Prophet Muhammad.

According to Khorasan Diary, a news portal, ISKP published a 55-page pamphlet asking Muslims across India to join hands with them, and urging Islamic State in Hind Province (ISHP) to break their silence and gear up.

The video, which also flays Taliban and its ministers in Afghanistan for trying to build bridges with India, ends with a message to launch attacks on India very soon.

Al Qaeda had earlier threatened suicide attacks in the cities of Delhi, Mumbai, as well as Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, urging the Muslim community to fight for the dignity of the Prophet.

“The offenders of the Prophet Muhammad, the pride of humanity, shall find no amnesty or clemency, no peace and security will save them and this matter will not close with any words of condemnation of sorrow,” Al Qaeda in the Subcontinent (AQIS) stated in a letter.
