ISIS threatens "unbelievers"worldwide, getting uncomfortably close to Jordan

The Daily Mail reports:
ISIS is once again urging Muslims to 'kill disbelievers' and attacking Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama for recent statements they have made about the terrorist group in a new audio recording.

Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani refers to Sec. of State Kerry as 'the old uncircumcised geezer' and calls Pres. Obama 'the mule of the Jews' on the recording, which is roughly 42-minutes long.
He then asks Muslims to do whatever they can to kill those who do not share their faith.

'If you can kill a disbelieving American or European - especially the spiteful and filthy French - or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State … kill him in any manner or way however it may be,' says al-Adnani.

The group then takes aim at Pres. Obama just days after his announcement that 40 countries would aid the U.S. in the fight against ISIS.

'Obama, the mule of the Jews, suddenly became a sheikh, mufti, and an Islamic preacher, warning the people and preaching in defense of Islam, claiming that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam,' says al-Adnani.

'This occurred during six different addresses he made in the span of a single month, all of them about the threat of the Islamic State.'

The group is also directing their anger at Sec. of State Kerry, who said ISIS was 'not a state' and 'did not represent Islam' in testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee earlier this week.

'The uncircumcised old geezer, suddenly became an Islamic jurist, issuing a verdict to the people that the Islamic State was distorting Islam, that what it was doing was against Islamic teachings, and that the Islamic State was an enemy of Islam,' al-Adani says in his speech, which was translated and released over social media.
The released translation refers to ISIS' enemies multiple times as "guardians of the Jews" and "mules of the Jews." The entire screed is suffused with antisemitism, but chances are that most news reports will not emphasize that.

Meanwhile, Ammon News reports that an official source at the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces stated that late Saturday night a jeep tried cross the Jordanian border at very high speed coming from Iraqi territory . Jordanian forces fired warning shots to force from it to stop but they did not comply, forcing Jordanian troops to destroy the vehicle inside Iraqi territory.

Another source said the Jordanian Royal Navy foiled an attempt from a boat to infiltrate from the territorial waters of "one of the brotherly countries" to the Jordanian territorial waters. Again, Jordanian forces are said to have fired warning shots to stop the boat but they were ignored,, which led to the firing on the boat and the arrest of two people on board of Arab nationality who are currently being interrogated.

Meanwhile, another article says that Jordanian security recently arrested a number of people affiliated with ISIS who were plotting to target the Kingdom and the group confessed of cooperating with organization's leaders in Syria .

A senior security source said that one of the members of the terrorist organization lives in a town in the north of the kingdom. His house exploded during the process of manufacturing explosives, which seems to be how this group was found.

Israel has said that if ISIS makes gains in Jordan, Israel "will not hesitate to act."
