ISIS is calling for terror attacks against Americans on Election Day, according to Rita Katz, the director of SITE Intelligence Group.
The terror group is also urging Muslims to avoid the democratic process, claiming there is no difference between the parties when it comes to their “policies against Islam and Muslims.”
