A new ISIS propaganda video makes threats against the New York City — and shows Manhattan streetscapes that include Times Square and Herald Square, The Post has learned.

The slick production includes storefront shots of TGI Fridays in Times Square and the Gap in Herald Square — along with footage of yellow taxi cabs driving past.

The images of New York City are spliced between disturbing clips of suicide bombers preparing for attacks. A fighter also holds a grenade, pulling the trigger as the camera cuts to black.

French President Francois Hollande then appears on screen, giving an address just after the Paris attacks. At the end of his speech, he says, “it’s horrible.”

Then words flash on the screen, saying, “And what’s coming next will be far worse and more bitter.”

1. Reminds me of the Osama Bin Ladin videos

[DisgustipatedinCA]

2. It's not bravado that keeps me and millions of others from being frightened.

It's a numbers game, and the numbers are highly in favor of me never being attacked by a terrorist. I'd book travel to NYC right this minute if the circumstances were right.

I like my odds of being in Times Square WAY more than I'd like my odds in Raqqa.

3. Hard to believe that TPTB can find these videos, but not those who make them

Should I cower in fear now or hold my breath til something happens?

[LovingA2andMI]

8. Fear is the greatest motivator....

Of doing something stupid, without thinking about the end result....I.E. -- The War In Iraq....

[notadmblnd]

10. And I do feel as if ratcheting up the fear is being done deliberately

I'm surprised they haven't pulled the color coded chart that the bush admin used- back out. Next thing you know they'll be telling us to buy tuna and plastic to wrap ourselves up in.

27. I agree...

One thing I noticed was how quickly the US media rushed like a stampeding herd to Paris to make this a bigger event than, perhaps, it should be as far as media coverage and myth-building. I am thankful to hear about the reports of the French government's progress in finding those they seek but I don't think our news clowns need to be over there getting in the way and/or hyping it up to rally fear mongers over here... which is the whole reason (aside from the personnel getting to spend a week or two in France) they are even there, to refresh the propaganda preserves.

Shoot, at this point and considering the trajectory we're on currently, it's starting to look like it's a toss-up as to whether the changing climate will do us in or if we'll combine all of our darkness and do it ourselves and much sooner.

4. They threaten more than just NYC

[uppityperson]

7. What are those pictures from? Or perhaps where? Thanks

[MowCowWhoHow III]

9. Pictures from twitter, snapshots of the longer video on liveleak

[uppityperson]

11. Thank you

[Turborama]

25. I did a Google image search and they're from April n/t

[dorkzilla]

5. Screw them - i’m taking a train into the City tomorrow

I’m NOT afraid. They can go to hell.

[LiberalElite]

6. i live there. We're on every terrorist's bucket list

what else is new?

P.S.: I have full confidence in the NYPD (in this regard).

[leftynyc]

14. Me too

I'll still be taking my commuter train, then the subway to work where I'm 1/2 a block from another high profile target. I've noticed more security since Friday but what are ya gonna do? Hiding under the bed is simply not an option.

[LiberalElite]

20. I believe I'm more likely to be hit by one of those kamikaze cyclists -

It already happened once.

[leftynyc]

21. That happened to an elderly

gentleman that I know. Took him months to recover.

[Depaysement]

12. To that I say

Screw you. We have champagne too.

[a la izquierda]

13. To them I say piss off

I'm heading home this weekend, to the NY metro area. I will take the train into NY, take the subway, go to a Ranger game in the Garden...
And the bigger threat to my life will be the drive on I-81.
Millions of Americans may be cowering in fear at the idea of orphaned and widowed refugees. I'm not.

[leftynyc]

15. Let's go Rangers!!! (n/t)

[AngryAmish]

16. Bookmarking. These threats have a habit of coming true.

[Sunlei]

17. President should mandate a 5 cent Federal tax for each video upload

and 5 cent Federal Tax for every media group who promotes a terrorist 'slick video'.

paper trail and federal revenue

[Oneironaut]

18. Ahahaha!

Losers.

[LiberalElite]

19. The New York Post is experienced in

adding just the right tone at times like these...

[LiberalElite]

22. FWIW this is not a new video -

cut n pasted from CNN:

"A similar video was released in April, according to John Miller, the NYPD deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism.

"This is an old video that was kind of rehashed," he said. "This is ISIS doing what ISIS and al Qaeda and terrorist groups do, which is propaganda."

"When we see the video, we make note of it, but it's like a lot of videos we've seen," Miller said."

[goldent]

23. I know -- there are plenty of statement where they say they want to kill

us. I guess it takes a video these days for people to take notice.

[Helen Borg]

24. Yeh, sure.

Still way more likely to die in a car accident than in anything of this sort.

[Yavin4]

26. Don't they know that we already live in a world where people shoot up schools and movie theaters?

It's not possible for us to be MORE terrorized.

[Myrina]

28. Why am I reminded of Iron Man 3 ?

The 'master terrorist' who was actually a bad actor (played hilariously by Ben Kingsley) employed by a military contractor and the godawful 'threat videos' that were made from a living room in Miami ...

[Nihil]

29. Yep! Real life -> fiction -> real life -> ...

Remember the "fat Osama" videos used to gin up "Der War Aginst Terra!!"?

Life is just one big repeating loop really ...
