According to a new report by Vocativ, the Islamic State is circulating a list of names and addresses of thousands of churches in Western countries, including the U.S., and urging its jihadist supporters to target them over the holidays.

The list of potential targets was disseminated via the pro-ISIS "Secrets of Jihadis" social media group on Telegram, a group Vocativ explains "provides manuals for the use and preparations of weapons and explosives for aspiring assailants." The message calls on the "sons of Islam" to attack "churches, well-known hotels, crowded coffee shops, streets, markets, and public places." It then provides a list of thousands of church addresses in four Western countries: Canada, France, the Netherlands, and the U.S.

Vocativ provides more details on the jihadists' call to turn Western streets into "rivers of blood":

A user going by the name of “Abu Marya al-Iraqi” posted an Arabic-language message calling “for bloody celebrations in the Christian New Year” and announced the group’s plans to utilize its network of lone wolf attackers to “turn the Christian New Year into a bloody horror movie, that will force [the infidels] to hide inside their burrows during their holidays and regret for the participation of their countries in the war against The Islamic State.”

“The lone wolves will turn the streets into rivers of blood, by ramming, exploding and poisoning,” he wrote. ...

In another group post, a member summoned “the sons of Islam” to target “churches, well-known hotels, crowded coffee shops, streets, markets and public places,” and shared a list of church addresses in the United States, as well as in Canada, France and the Netherlands.

Vocativ notes that the horrific attack in a Christmas market in Berlin this, which ISIS claimed responsibility for, falls right in line with the group's call to target public places in "coalition countries." Authorities have named a suspect for the Berlin market massacre: Anis Amri, a Tunisian, who German authorities failed to deport after denying asylum because of his sketchy past. Making the massacre even more insufferable, Amri was under surveillance for ties to Islamic extremists yet was able to carry out "the deadliest attack on German soil since 1980" in the country's capital city.
