IS militants target Australian religious leaders

Global terrorist organization the Islamic State (IS) called for its followers to kill three prominent Australian muslim clerics on Tuesday.

The religious leaders, the Grand Mufti of Australia, Ibrahim Abu Mohammed, Shieik Shady Alsuleiman and New South Wales Police Force chaplain Shiekh Ahmed Abdo were all targeted in the video, being called "collaborators, informers and apostates."

The Australian clerics are all well known for preaching unity and peace in the name of their religion, and encouraging young people to respect the laws of Australia.

"Those traitors are sitting in airconditioned rooms attacking the mujahdeen and supporting the polytheists," the video said.

"Put an end to their evilness and kill them," said the video.
