ISIS makes sick call for French election day terror attacks and urges lone wolf jihadis to slaughter Le Pen and Macron
TERROR fears are growing in France amid revelations ISIS has made a sick call for jihadis to carry out lone wolf attacks on election day this Sunday.
In an article featured in a French edition of the extremist group’s monthly propaganda magazine Rumiyah, the terrorists call on followers to “kill candidates” Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, and “burn down polling stations”.
The chilling call for terror comes as France gears up to vote in the second round of its presidential elections at the weekend, .
The article reads: “Don't forget your duty as a Muslim. Choose a candidate to kill & polling station to burn.”
The extremists also urge their supporters to put their faith in Allah over a “false deity”, or Western democracies, and tells them to refrain from voting in the coming election.
The two candidates in the running to be the next president of France are currently making a final push for votes on the last day of campaigning before the election on Sunday.
Centrist Emmanuel Macron has a substantial lead in polls, while his far-right rival, Marine Le Pen, is tipped for defeat.
Le Pen, who has gained a following due to her anti-Islam rhetoric, has vowed to fight back against terrorism over the course of her campaign.
She has also been critical of Muslim women wearing headscarves in France.
The extremist article goes on to advise supporters of ISIS destroy “idolatrous” voting booths, and goes so far to describe them as places of “shirk”, or sin.
It ends with the chilling message: “Burn these places of shirk, kill the candidates, the voters and the polling station staff.
“Spare no disbelievers.”
