A message encouraging ISIS supporters to use the holidays to target American and French civilians in terror attacks is being promoted online within the terrorist organization, Homeland Security Today reported Tuesday.

The message from ISIS supporters was directed at jihadists in America, Russia, France, Belgium and “the lions everywhere” asking them “what they are doing to support [their] brothers” as “the war is getting worse,” HS Today reported. It was released with an audio reminding ISIS followers that “there are their festive days on the doors — kill them like killing insects” with several verses from the Quran, HS Today reported.

“Do not miss this battle, wherever you are… so if you are able to kill an American or European infidel, especially the hateful French, or Australian, Canadian, Russian, Belgian, or other crusader infidel, the sponsors of countries that have allied together against the Islamic State, so trust in Allah and kill him by any means,” the message said, HS Today reported.

“Support your brothers and your country with everything you can, and the best thing you can do is to do your best and kill any infidel French or American or any of their allies, so turn their night into day and their day to flames and flames to terror and devastation,” the message said, HS Today reported.

The message advises jihadists not to discuss their plans with anyone and to not look for help, though they should use blunt force, poison or arson if necessary, HS Today reported.

“If you fail from bombing or bullets, then blow a head with a stone, or slit it with a knife, run it over with a car, throw it from a height, conceal their breath, or put poison for them, do not hesitate,” the message said, HS Today reported. “Make your slogan, ‘I wouldn’t survive if they would.’ And if you failed to do any of that, then burn his house, car, business, or destroy their cultivation.”

The message concludes by telling those who don’t participate in jihad as disloyal, according to HS Today. (RELATED: 3 People Wounded At Saudi WWI Commemoration Event In Explosion Claimed By ISIS)

Extremist groups tend to make threats around Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s holidays, according to HS Today. Media organizations that support the Islamic State have previously published propaganda celebrating past attacks and encourage others to mimic the attacks at specific places such as the Vatican.

ISIS supporters released a new chant called “Coldly Kill Them All With Hate And Rage” on Dec. 12, according to Memri TV. The song encourages followers of ISIS to fight on behalf of the Islamic State and to terrorize adversaries.

“Fill their lives with terror and fear, pull the trigger and scream takbeer [shout ‘Allah akbar!’], Muslims paid back, please make it clear,” the song says.

“Plan your perfect killing spree, earn in jannah [paradise] a high degree, with your maidens under a tree [the black-eyed maidens promised to martyrs according to Islamic tradition],” the song continues.

The song was released with a graphic of a Christmas tree and bomb titled “Just Terror 2020,” according to Memri.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
