ISIS fighter with American accent urges supporters to take advantage of U.S. gun laws

By Nick Miroff December 27 at 2:02 PM

In a video released Wednesday by the Islamic State, a one-legged fighter identified by the group as an American calls on Muslims in the United States to “take advantage” of the country’s gun laws to obtain weapons and carry out attacks.

The fighter, identified by the nom de guerre “Abu Salih al-Amriki,” wears khaki fatigues with a holstered pistol in the online video, published by a propaganda wing of the Islamic State. He speaks in English with what sounds like a New York City-area accent.

“Take advantage of the fact that you can easily obtain a rifle or a pistol in America,” the fighter says. “Spray the kuffar (infidels) with bullets so that their fear of the Muslims rises and they continue to reveal their hatred towards Islam.”

The SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks Islamist militant media, published a copy of the video, in which Abu Salih also calls President Trump a “dog of Rome.”
