“If it was an Islamic coalition, it would have declared itself free from its Jewish and Crusader lords and made the killing the Jews and the liberation of Palestine its goal”, the message said. The militant group has been concentrating on Iraq and Syria, while also claiming responsibility for the downing of a Russian airliner over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris. “The more intense the war against it, the purer it becomes and the tougher it gets”, al-Baghdadi said.

The Islamic State group on Saturday released a new message purportedly from its reclusive leader, claiming that his self-styled “caliphate” is doing well despite an unprecedented alliance against it and criticizing the recently announced Saudi-led Islamic military coalition against terrorism.

Baghdadi said the USA and its allies have “learned from” recent lengthy wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He is thought to constantly move between Islamic State strongholds in Raqqa, Syria, and Mosul, Iraq, to avoid airstrikes.

And it was not clear when the recording was made, but it referred to a 34-nation anti-IS coalition announced by Saudi Arabia on December 15.

“The entire world is fighting us right now”.

If the Saudi-led alliance was truly Islamic, then it would fight the Syrian army and its Russian “masters”, as well as Shiites and Jews, al-Baghdadi said.

“And soon, soon with God’s permission, you will hear the footsteps of the mujahedeen…” The pioneers of the jihadist fighters will surround you on a day that you think is distant and we know is close.
