LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - During the recording titled, "So They Kill And Are Killed," Adnani explains ISIS' future plans on its way to conquering Paris, Rome, Portugal and Spain.
Adnani also lists a number of sites further east that ISIS "wants."
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, who translated the message, Adnani appears to be trying to boost "the morale of Islamic State fighters in light of recent attacks against them by U.S.-led coalition forces and local opponents."

The spokesman explains that the groups' recent loses don't mean anything, that they will ultimately come out on top, as it's enemies have "underestimated its strength, only to come to the realization when it was too late."
With this message, ISIS officially welcomed and accepted Boko Haram's pledge of allegiance joining the two jihadist groups as one.
There "is no polytheism or paganism or nationalism or patriotism or polytheist democracy or disbelieving secularism" in the caliphate, explained Adnani while attempting to paint a favorable picture of life with ISIS. "There is no difference between an Arab and a non-Arab, nor between black and white. Here, the American fraternizes with the Arab, and the African with the European, and the Eastern with the Western."
This threatening message was delivered Thursday, and much of its content refers to the Koran.
