An ISIS affiliated group is calling on their followers to follow the example of the Orlando Terrorist; calling him a hero, and asking their followers to continue attacking targets in America.

The statement, which was posted by the Al-Battar Media Foundation, encouraged other Islamic followers to target movie theaters, hospitals, airports, trains, amusement parks and restaurants.

Part of the statement read:

“While the tyrants shut the immigration door in your faces, open in their faces the door of jihad” … “While one of you wishes and strives to reach the Islamic State, one of us wishes to be in your place.”

More Attacks Could be Coming Very Soon

According to CBS News, the Orlando Terrorist posted a warning on Facebook moments before the attack that read: “In the next few days you will see attacks from the Islamic State [ISIS] in the USA.”

Since Islamic State leaders began calling on followers to stage attacks in their home countries, the FBI has seen a huge increase in the number of terrorist sympathizers here in the U.S.

FBI has over 1,000 ISIS cases open across U.S.

Last week, before the attacks in Orlando, James Comey, the Director of the FBI, admitted that the FBI had over 1,000 terror related cases open in all 50 states. During a news conference at the FBI’s field office in Brooklyn Center last week, Comey said terror recruitment is a problem across the country.

“The bureau has close to 1,000 open cases in all 50 states focused on people who are at some stage between consuming the poison from the group we call ISIL to acting on that poison, either by traveling or moving toward violence here in the United States.”

Stay Alert: Beware of your Surroundings

In the aftermath of Orlando, people need to be especially careful when attending large events or going anywhere where a large number of people gather in one place. These animals are looking for large body counts, and they are looking for easy targets.
