The latest issue of an English-language magazine released by ISIS supporters encourages would-be terrorists to use novel tactics — including vehicle arson and sharp pencils — and tells perpetrators that they should refrain from claiming an attack on behalf of the terror group if they think they can strike again.
“The Voice of Hind,” released monthly by ISIS supporters in India, also included a full-page graphic with a cross and the words “25 December – O priests of the cross, the time for revenge has come.”
An article “from brothers in Maldives” on how to “be a source of incitement and motivation” cautioned followers about criticizing lone jihadists who achieve only minimal success with their terror plots, saying that praising operations “will increase their motivation… even if you did not see the expected results from the work of your brother, do not denounce and condemn him.”
“Sometimes the efforts of your brother may look small and insignificant, yet it may have brought about great benefit which is not to be seen apparently,” the magazine stated, adding it should be a “general rule” for jihadists “that you acknowledge the work of your brother despite its insufficiency to meet demand” in order to inspire more terrorists.
The article says jihadists should focus on homegrown attacks as a “hiding lone wolf” in target countries, as attacks in countries with known claimed ISIS provinces are expected and “can be considered less triggering to the Kuffar [disbelievers].”
Citing late ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani’s exhortation for homegrown jihadists to find any possible weapon, the article declares that “there are plenty of weapons everywhere for the one who seeks it.”
“So, if they are keeping you from acquiring lethal weapons, then let them know that a sharpened pencil can be used to shed a Kaffir’s blood,” the text continues. “Or an arson attack can be given to his motorbike or car which would would pain him in his heart. Therefore, incite and encourage each other for such actions.”
The article encourages jihadists to steer clear of people “who might try to demotivate you” and “do not focus on getting back at them with words, rather set examples with your actions.”
Terrorists are also advised to exercise patience as “it might be better that you sacrifice yourself with something big, rather than getting caught by the Kuffar while attempting something small.”
“It can be better that you attack and quickly hide, only to look out for another opportunity to strike again,” the magazine continues. “And sometimes it might be better that you delay taking responsibility at all.”
