Islamic State Claims Dhaka Police Murder.

'On the authority of Thawbaan: The Messenger of Allah said: "If you see the Black Banners coming from Khurasan go to them immediately, even if you must crawl over ice, because indeed amongst them is the Caliph, Al Mahdi."' So says one of the most authoritative compilations of ahadith in Islamic scripture, Sunan Ibn Majah, in volume three, number 4084.

This piece of scripture is a direct instruction to all Muslims to ally himself or herself to any despot or criminal calling himself caliph. At present, this person is the monster crouching in Mosul who calls himself Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This is why his horrific army of savages has accrued so many franchises across the Muslim world & has proclaimed its ambition to rule an empire illustrated below:

The Bangladeshi franchise of the Islamic State has escalated operations by killing a policeman near the capital, Dhaka, as reported by The Daily Star today:

ISIS claims responsibility for Bangladesh policeman's murder

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the murder this week of a Bangladesh policeman, as fears of insurgent violence grow in the moderate Muslim-majority country.

A group of unknown men stabbed a police officer to death Wednesday just outside the capital Dhaka, while another was badly injured, the second such attack in less than a month.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan blamed local extremists, whom the government also suspects are behind a series of murders this year of secular bloggers and a publisher of secular books.

But ISIS said its "soldiers of the state in Bangladesh" carried out Wednesday's killing, according to the U.S.-based militant activist group SITE.

"The soldiers of the Caliphate withdrew safely, and unto Allah is all praise and gratitude," ISIS said in a statement late Wednesday.

In recent weeks, ISIS has also claimed responsibility for murders of an Italian aid worker and a Japanese farmer, along with a blast at the country's main Shiite shrine which left two people dead.

If the latest claims are true, it would be the first time ISIS has targeted an arm of the Bangladesh government.

The government has rejected the extremist group's previous claims, saying it does not have any presence in the country.

An Al-Qaeda branch has also claimed responsibility for the blogger and publisher attacks, calling the victims "atheists and blasphemers".

The government has instead blamed local extremists, along with the main opposition party and its Islamist ally, for orchestrating the violence to destabilize the country.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government launched a crackdown on local terrorist groups after facing Western criticism this year of failing to stop the bloodshed.
