THIS is the terrifying new map of Europe released by Islamic State (ISIS) – drawn-up to show the areas it plans dominate in the next five years. The chilling image highlights areas the brutal terror organisation plans to seize by 2020, including Spain, China and parts of North Africa.
According to the map, ISIS plan to take control of the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Europe, within the next five years, to complete its caliphate. The caliphate - a state governed by Sharia law which ISIS plan to claim - covers areas from Spain in the west to China in the east. Andalus is the Arabic name given to the parts of Spain, Portugal and france that were occupied by the Moors between the eighth and the 15th century.
The savage terror organisation has up to 50,000 members and nearly £2billion of cash and assets.
BBC reporter Andrew Hosken – who includes the map of the targeted areas in his new book – said ISIS wants "to take over all of what they see as the Islamic world. He said: "Once they have their caliphate, they plan to turn against the rest of the world. They envisage the whole world being under their rule.
"They have 60 nations against them, including the United States and Russia, so one would think that is pretty unlikely. "But one would have thought the first steps were unlikely as well."
Hosken said the brutal organisation sees "us as being under their rule too and having to abide by their ideology". He said: "They have already destabilised Iraq and Syria, they have tried to destabilise Saudi Arabia and Libya and recently they almost destroyed Tunisia's main industry, tourism.
Hosken claims that the longer ISIS remains in Iraq and Syria, the more likely it is they will develop biological and chemical weapons. He said: "If they had weapons of mass destruction, they would use them. "There is no question about that."
The author reveals how in 1996 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who founded the depraved terror group which eventually became ISIS, described a seven-step programme that would lead the organisation to victory by 2020. Hosken said: "We were so close to destroying them back in 2010-11. 80% of their leaders had been captured or killed and they ended up as a little rump. "We didn't finish them off and like a cancer they came back."
David Cameron has already given the green light to a lengthy air strike campaign to suppress the terrorist's savage advances – but he is facing increasing pressure to send ground forces into Iraq and Syria to tackle the organisation.
But Hosken warns that al-Zarqawi's seven-stage plan suggests ISIS "would very much like it if we invaded" - claiming it would be the perfect "recruitment drive" for the terror group. He said: "There is a danger it would be a rallying cry to Muslims around the world to come and a join them. Islamic State want to be seen to be fighting the West. Read More @ Express UK
