Islamic State Message to America: "We Will Drown All of You in Blood"

I'm so confused. Doesn't the Islamic State (ISIS) watch ABC, MSNBC, and CNN, which claim that Islam is peaceful and tolerant? It's as if these jihadists only pay attention to what Allah commands, and not to what Western politicians and the media say.
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Islamic State militant group that has seized large parts of Iraq and drawn the first American air strikes since the end of the occupation in 2011 has warned the United States it will attack Americans "in any place" if the raids hit its militants.

The video, which shows a photograph of an American who was beheaded during the U.S. occupation of Iraq and victims of snipers, featured a statement which said in English "we will drown all of you in blood".

U.S. airstrikes on Kurdish forces in northern Iraq have helped the fighters take back some territory captured by Islamic State militants, who have threatened to march on Baghdad.

The latest advance by the Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot, sent tens of thousands of members of the Yazidi ethnic minority and Christians fleeing for their lives and alarmed the Baghdad government and its Western allies.

Unlike al-Qaeda, Islamic State has so far focused on seizing land in Iraq and Syria for its self-proclaimed caliphate, not spectacular attacks on Western targets.

U.S. President Barack Obama said at a news conference on Monday that the Islamic State posed a threat to Iraq and the entire region. (Source)

Hi David, is there any authoritative reference where i can look up for quran text, hadiths. I tried quran.com and quranexplorer.com but both seem to paint a different picture.

Regards,
