ISIS Sees Your White House and Wants it Painted Black

Abu Usamah Somali, the self-proclaimed ‘spokesperson of ISIS,’ is a Somali-Canadian by the name of Farah Mohamed Shirdon.
Shirdon made his debut foray into the public psyche in a video that went viral last April. In the video, he threatened Canada and America and ripped up his Canadian passport and threw it into a fire.
‘We are coming and will destroy you,’ Shirdon announced in the video, ‘this is a message for Canada and for all America.’
Though U. S. or Canadian ‘intelligence’ couldn’t track him down after he fled from Canada to Syria (in fact, they even reported him dead)…
Somehow, Vice magazine was able to set up an interview with him. (So much for all that metadata, eh?)
Last week, Shirdon sat down with Shane Smith, the founder of the magazine.
In the interview, Shirdon claims to have joined ISIS on his own initiative, with no recruiter to speak of.
‘No one spoke a single word to me,’ he told Smith. ‘All I did, I opened the newspaper, I read the Koran – very easy.’ (More on why this tidbit is important in a moment)
Here are some highlights from the interview…
