Senior Tories Sajid Javid and Sayeeda Warsi named as targets on ISIS kill list of Muslims
Their names appear in a list in the terrorist group's propaganda magazine
ISIS has released a kill list of Muslims in positions of power in the Western world – and it includes two senior Tories.
Business Secretary Sajid Javid and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi have both been named as targets in the terror group’s propaganda magazine Dabiq.
They appear on the list because ISIS says they are 'overt crusaders' who 'involve themselves in the politics and enforcing laws of the kufr (disbelievers)’.
Javid is the son of a Pakistani bus driver who worked around the clock, so earned the nickname Mr Night and Day.
He was brought up in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, before the family moved to Bristol when his dad took over a women’s clothes shop in the city centre.
After the Paris terror attacks he said it was lazy to say they had nothing to do with Islam.
He said there is ‘no getting away’ from the fact that terrorists behind attacks in the West say they are Muslim.
Javid, who has been tipped as a future Conservative Party leader, called on British Muslims to do more to tackle extremism.
Former Conservative chairman Lady Warsi was brought up in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, by parents who reports moved her to a different school because the one she attended had too many Muslims.
Her father started out as a mill worker and now runs a bed making firm, that has a turnover of £2million a year.
Last December she said mosques could be built without minarets – the distinctive towers from which the call to prayer is traditionally issued – to make them look ‘quintessentially English’ and fit in with the landscape.
Dabiq promises future attacks will be even more devastating than the ones at Brussels airport and the Metro stations
Lady Warsi was the first Muslim to serve on a Cabinet and claims British Muslims have moved faster than the Conservative Party or the Church on issues such as gay rights.
Other names on the list include one of Hillary Clinton’s long-time aides, Huma Abedin, and American politician Keith Ellison.
Also in the ISIS magazine was confirmation that brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, who blew themselves up in the attacks on the Belgian capital, were responsible for 'all preparations for the raids in Paris and Brussels’.
The article praised the recent attacks and said: “Paris was a warning. Brussels was a reminder.
“What is yet to come will be more devastating and more bitter by the permission of Allah, and Allah prevails.
The suicide attacks on the Belgian capital last month killed 34 people and wounded more than 270 others.
Khalid, 27, and Ibrahim, 29, had joined ISIS while in jail for charges of carjacking and bank robbery.
Their involvement provided for the first time confirmation of the direct link between the Brussels attacks and the Paris massacre that killed 130 people last November.
Dabiq also confirmed Najim Laachraoui, 24, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, had made the bombs for both the Paris and the Brussels attacks.
He blew himself up at Brussels airport.
The magazine described Khalid, who killed 14 people in a suicide bombing at a metro train at Maalbeek station near the EU headquarters, as a 'man of strong character, a natural leader'.
Ibrahim blew himself up in the check-in hall of Brussels Zaventem Airport on the day of the Brussels terrorist attacks on March 22.
Dabiq claimed Khalid had three visions before carrying out the attacks.
In the first one, which reportedly happened while he was in jail, the magazine claims he saw Mohammed riding a horse into battle while he acted as an archer.
This vision reportedly led to him building up a stockpile of bombs and weapons after he had been released from prison.
He said his next vision happened after the Paris attacks and involved Allah telling him to fight for his cause.
In the next vision, after the Paris attacks, he claimed Allah told him to fight for his cause, while his final dream saw Ibrahim blowing himself up.
