/9 Comments/in , /by

Franklin Graham, religious leader and son of Billy Graham in Washington, DC.By Leah Marieann Klett. Rev. Franklin Graham has responded to the FBI’s revelation that there are “hundreds, maybe thousands” of people across the country who are receiving recruitment overtures from the Islamic State to attack the U.S., emphasizing that the terror group must “remember that in America, we shoot back.”

On Thursday, FBI Director James Comey revealed that the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is leveraging social media in unprecedented ways through Twitter and other social media platforms, sending messages to the smartphones of “disturbed people” who could potentially launch assaults on U.S. targets.

“It’s like the devil sitting on their shoulders, saying ‘kill, kill, kill,”’ Comey said in a meeting with reporters, ABC News reports.

He explained that ISIS recruiters operating from Syria are making contact with U.S. recruits, and then “steering” them into encrypted venues where their subsequent communications are “lost to us.”

“The haystack is the entire country,” Comey said. “We are looking for the needles, but increasingly the needles are unavailable to us. … This is the ‘going dark’ problem in living color. There are [ISIS sympathizers] out there that I have not found and I cannot see.” (Read more from “Franklin Graham Warns ISIS Sympathizers in United States: ‘Remember, in America, We Shoot Back'” HERE)

ISIS Activity Prompts Threat Level Increase at Military Bases Throughout US

/0 Comments/in , /by

140616-isis-iraq-jms-1914_dfd9d334d657162e5efe720e4f206e29Security conditions at U.S. military bases have been increased over growing concerns about terror threats, officials said Friday.

A U.S. official confirmed to CNN that U.S. military bases are now at “Force Protection Bravo,” which is defined by the Pentagon as an “increased and predictable threat of terrorism.” It is the third-highest threat level on a five-tier scale used by the Department of Defense.

U.S. military officials added Friday that the announcement, which comes in the aftermath of the shooting at a Texas cartoon contest featuring drawings of the Prophet Mohammed, was not the result of a specific threat but because the military had become concerned about several recent incidents.

The military became alarmed when one of the jihadists linked to the Garland attack tweeted the name and address of a U.S. military officer connected to the military’s Syrian rebel training program, a U.S. military official told CNN.

The tweet, first published on an account connected to British-born jihadist Junaid Hussain, was sent out a few days before the attack on the cartoon exhibit and appeared to encourage an attack on the address. (Read more from “ISIS Activity Prompts Threat Level Increase at Bases” HERE)

SEAL Who Shot Bin Laden Reacts to Report ISIS Operates in 15 States: ‘They’re Telling the Truth’

Former Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill, the man who shot Osama bin Laden, says the Islamic State “is telling the truth” about having 71 trained soldiers in 15 different states because “they are a populist” group . . .

Texas police killed two gunmen wearing body armor and armed with assault rifles who tried to ambush a “Draw Mohammed” cartoon contest in Garland, Texas. Elton Simpson, one of the armed attackers, linked himself to the Islamic State in a tweet just before the attack.

“We knew that the target was protected. Our intention was to show how easy we give our lives for the Sake of Allah,” said the Islamic State message posted today.

Former SEAL O’Neill pointed out that the Islamic State can claim credit for attacks after the fact “based on whether or not” the attack supports the group’s goals.

“ISIS is so popular right now because they’re over there with this glorified sense of resilience because no one’s fighting them,” said O’Neill. “They can make all those videos – there’s a lot of sympathy for ISIS in this country. It would take about 25 people working around the clock just to track one of these people.” (Read more from “SEAL Who Shot Bin Laden Reacts to Report ISIS Operates in 15 States: ‘They’re Telling the Truth'” HERE)

FBI Director Says Islamic State Influence Growing in U.S.

/4 Comments/in , /by

635665991337927129-AP-FBI-Director-BostonBy Kevin Johnson. In a dramatic assessment of the domestic threat posed by the Islamic State, FBI Director James Comey said Thursday there are “hundreds, maybe thousands” of people across the country who are receiving recruitment overtures from the terrorist group or directives to attack the U.S.

Comey said the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, is leveraging social media in unprecedented ways through Twitter and other platforms, directing messages to the smartphones of “disturbed people” who could be pushed to launch assaults on U.S. targets.

“It’s like the devil sitting on their shoulders, saying ‘kill, kill, kill,”’ Comey said in a meeting with reporters.

The FBI director’s comments come in the midst of a federal investigation into a foiled attack in Garland, Texas, involving two ISIL sympathizers, one of whom, Elton Simpson, was long known to federal authorities.

Comey said Thursday that hours before the attempted Garland attack, FBI agents sent a bulletin to local authorities indicating that Simpson may have been interested in traveling there from Phoenix to attend the conference featuring controversial cartoon depictions of the prophet Mohammed. At the time, Comey said, agents did not have specific information that Simpson had targeted the meeting. (Read more from “FBI Director Says Islamic State Influence Growing in U.S.” HERE)

Concerns of Muslim Immigration Surge Into Western World Come Into Focus

By Alex Swoyer. The Muslim immigration warnings offered by Dutch politician Geert Wilders—who was in the facility in Garland, Texas, that was attacked by terrorists last weekend—seem to be coming true.

Wilders, who has asked his own parliament to hold an exhibition on the Muhammed cartoons from the Garland, Texas event, has warned frequently that high levels of Muslim immigration without assimilation to the Western world—Europe and the United States of America—are dangerous to the culture and values of the West.

Wilders, a featured speaker at the Garland event, has been on a terror hit list since 2010 for proposing to place a tax on the Hijab worn by Muslim women in the Netherlands. He has also been vocal about stopping all Muslim immigration into the Netherlands.

“Take a walk down the street and see where this is going,” Wilders, referring to growing Muslim immigration into his country, previously said. “You no longer feel like you are living in your own country. There is a battle going on and we have to defend ourselves. Before you know it there will be more mosques than churches!”

Wilders’ warning rings true not just in the Netherlands, but in the United States as well. (Read more from this story HERE)

ISIS Posts Warning: ‘We Have 71 Trained Soldiers in 15 States’, Names 5 Targets

/57 Comments/in , /by

isisA ‘message to the crusaders’ was posted on social media today, supposedly from ISIS terrorist Abu Ibrahim Al Ameriki, naming 5 target states, and saying they have 71 members ready to attack Americans . . .

And here’s the full message:

Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem

“The New Era”

To our brothers and sisters fighting for the Sake of Allah, we make dua for you and ask Allah to guide your bullets, terrify your enemies, and establish you in the Land. As our noble brother in the Phillipines said in his bayah, “This is the Golden Era, everyone who believes… is running for Shaheed”.

The attack by the Islamic State in America is only the beginning of our efforts to establish a wiliyah in the heart of our enemy. Our aim was the khanzeer Pamela Geller and to show her that we don’t care what land she hides in or what sky shields her; we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter. This will heal the hearts of our brothers and disperse the ones behind her. To those who protect her: this will be your only warning of housing this woman and her circus show. Everyone who houses her events, gives her a platform to spill her filth are legitimate targets. We have been watching closely who was present at this event and the shooter of our brothers. We knew that the target was protected. Our intention was to show how easy we give our lives for the Sake of Allah.

We have 71 trained soldiers in 15 different states ready at our word to attack any target we desire. Out of the 71 trained soldiers 23 have signed up for missions like Sunday, We are increasing in number bithnillah. Of the 15 states, 5 we will name… Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, California, and Michigan. The disbelievers who shot our brothers think that you killed someone untrained, nay, they gave you their bodies in plain view because we were watching.

The next six months will be interesting, To our Amir Al Mu’mineen make dua for us and continue your reign, May Allah enoble your face.

May Allah send His peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhummad and all those who follow until the last Day.

– Abu Ibrahim Al Ameriki

Escaped Yazidi Girls Ashamed to Return Home After ISIS Used Them as Sex Slaves

/2 Comments/in , /by

isis-terrorYoung women and girls take captive and used as sex slaves by Islamic State militants are now having secret abortions to avoid being alienated by their communities, a new report has revealed.

In September, ISIS militants abducted between 1,500 and 4,000 women and children from the Christian and Yazidi community, according to the Human Rights Watch. Because they viewed the females as “spoils of war,” the fighters reportedly felt entitled to use them as sex slaves.

“When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled,” said Christian author and Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer.

“[However] Islam avoids the appearance of impropriety, declaring that the taking of these sex slaves does not constitute adultery if the women are already married, for their marriages are ended at the moment of their capture,” he added.

According to the Sunday Times, some Kurdish doctors are now performing illegal abortions and hymen surgeries on girls who have been able to escape in an attempt to reverse signs of sexual abuse. One Yazidi business man, who is helping to “re-kidnap” captured girls and bring them back to their homes, revealed that many victims, some as young as eight, feel deeply ashamed about the rape they have undergone.

Officials: FBI Probes Possible ISIS-Inspired Threat in the United States

By Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz. The FBI is investigating a possible ISIS-inspired terrorist threat in the United States, law enforcement officials said Saturday.

The investigation originated from intercepted chatter and other intelligence information that led officials to believe a possible plot could be in the works, the officials said.

No arrests have been made. It’s not clear whether the threat is real or aspirational.

The exact nature of the threat couldn’t be learned. One official said it focused on parts of California where officials stepped up security, a U.S. official said.

The Transportation Security Administration alerted local law enforcement agencies that are responsible for external security around airports, but officials said the possible threat is not necessarily aviation-related.

2 US Agencies Warn of Imminent ISIS Attack

By WND. While the FBI investigates a possible ISIS terror attack on the basis of intercepted chatter and intelligence information, the TSA issued a classified warning that ISIS is planning an attack on U.S. soil.

Little is known about the nature of the attack other than its imminence, which has prompted the TSA to deploy its new Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response teams, or VIPR, to various undisclosed locations. The VIPR teams include airports, train stations and other busy transportation hubs.

One law enforcement source suggested parts of California were of special concern.

As a result of the FBI warning, some cities have increased security as a precaution, but those cities have not been disclosed. (Read more from this story HERE)

Louis Head, Stepfather of Michael Brown, Boldly Walks to the St. Louis County Circuit Court Wearing Profane Jacket

/18 Comments/in , /by

On the very day that the Brown family announced their intent to file charges in a civil lawsuit against the City of Ferguson, Missouri, Louis Head, the stepfather of Michael Brown, had another idea. Pictured below is Louis Head crossing the street on his way to the City of St. Louis Circuit Court Building wearing a jacket emblazoned with what appears to be a side-by-side image of Barrack Obama and Michael Brown, with a lower image of an individual throwing a flaming Molotov cocktail.

image (17)

Louis Head, the boyfriend of Michael Brown’s mother Lesile McSpadden, has been subject to media scrutiny after a video emerged depicting him of saying multiple times to, “Burn this bit** [Town of Ferguson] down” following the grand jury decision to not formally indict Officer Darren Wilson of any crime in the shooting death of Michael Brown. The night following the grand jury’s “no true bill”, looting and burning of local businesses occurred similar to the days immediately following Brown’s death. These destructive acts happened amid the presence of Al Sharpton whom spoke at times of a peaceful protest. At other times, he suggested that the looters were actually liberators.

In the days following the second spat of burnings and lootings, the State of Missouri’s Lieutenant Governor, Pete Kinder suggested that Louis Head should be indicted for inciting a riot. Prior to those comments, Missouri Governor, Democrat Jay Nixon released a statement suggesting that that the video footage of the alleged strong-arm robbery of the convenient store, where Brown stole a box of cigars, was put forward to discredit the character of Michael Brown.

Although Nixon’s opinion on that issue never wavered in light of the contrary evidence, he did order in the days leading up to the grand jury announcement that the National Guard be called into service. After the first night of looting and rioting following the grand jury decision, ostensibly egged on by Louis Head, Nixon called in the Missouri National Guard to aid in restoring order to the local community.

Now, the mother of Michael Brown has filed suit, claiming damages of $75,000 plus legal fees in the highly controversial death of her son. Obviously, she is forgetting the physical damage to the community that her boyfriend caused by his actions. What needs to be made clear is on Monday November 24, 2015, the police officer in question was acquitted of any wrong doing in the shooting death of Brown by a grand jury. The jury deliberated and issued a “no true bill” to that affect. Additionally, the U.S. department of Justice, led by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, ran a concurrent investigation to determine if the civil rights of Michael Brown were violated, and similarly found no grounds to pursue federal charges. According to MSNBC contributors Trymaine Lee and Adam Howard, “In an 80-plus page report, the DOJ said that there was no evidence that Wilson had the intent to kill Brown, nor was their any proof that the former officer didn’t fear for his safety.”

Ultimately, serious moral and ethical problems plague Louis Headley, and those who continue to support him after each of his outlandish acts. At present, the mainstream leftist news organizations appear to be giving tacit approval, if not moral support to his radical cause. Meanwhile, the average person working in Ferguson suffers. Media outlets like MSNBC, Huffington Post, and ThinkProgress.org apparently have no issue with Head’s incendiary comments. It will be rather telling if they have enough journalistic integrity to report on Head’s outrageous outerwear, praising violence, Michael Brown and Barack Obama. Perhaps they should also remind Americans that the President – in the wake of the grand jury decision – went to the United Nations and suggested that the United States has its own genocide problem akin to ISIS. Maybe it is time for Obama to put the shoe on the other foot, and publicly condemn the actions of Louis Head. While he’s at it, he shouldn’t forget to condemn the actions of ISIS, as well.

Gone Girl: An Interview With an American in ISIS

In her first tweet from Syria, “Umm Jihad” uploaded a picture of four passports — American, Canadian, U.K., and Australian — being held by hands garbed in the black gloves worn by the most conservative Muslim women. “Bonfire soon, no need for these anymore, alhamdulliah [thanks be to God],” she captioned the image. Now that they were living under the Islamic State, no other nationality mattered.

Using her account @ZumarulJannah, which has now been suspended, Umm Jihad expressed contempt for the United States. “Soooo many Aussies and Brits here,” she tweeted. “But where are the Americans, wake up u cowards.” If other American ISIS supporters couldn’t make it to Syria, she said, “Terrorize the kuffar [derogatory term for non-Muslims] at home.”

“Americans wake up!” she tweeted on March 19. “Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping! Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades..go on drive by’s + spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n drive all over them. Kill them.”

BuzzFeed News has confirmed this anti-American ISIS member is a 20-year-old American citizen named Hoda who ran away from her home in Hoover, Alabama, in November to become an ISIS member, bride, and, now, widow.

After BuzzFeed News identified Hoda and found her family, she agreed to give a series of exclusive interviews from Raqqah, Syria, over the messaging app Kik, on the condition that no images of her uncovered face would be published.

Newest Video of Christian Slaughter Shows ISIS is Expanding, Contrary to Obama’s Claims

By Elliott McLaughlin. ISIS operatives have beheaded two groups of prisoners, believed to be Ethiopian Christians, in Libya, according to a video released Sunday by the terror network’s media arm.

The al-Furqan Media video — which is highly produced and titled “Until There Came to Them Clear Evidence” — shows two groups of men in orange and black jumpsuits being killed at different locations in Libya, according to the video’s narrator.

“All praise be to Allah, the Lord and cherisher of the world and may peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Mohammed. To the nation of the cross, we are back again on the sands, where the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, have stepped on before, telling you: Muslim blood that was shed under the hands of your religion is not cheap,” the narrator says in Arabic on the 30-minute video.

The narrator continues, “In fact, their blood is the purest blood because there is a nation behind them (which) inherits revenge. And we swear to Allah: the one who disgraced you by our hands, you will not have safety, even in your dreams, until you embrace Islam.”

Quoting Mohammed, the narrator says that those who “perform prayer and pay alms” will have “their blood and property” protected by the Prophet unless Islam dictates otherwise. (Read more from this story HERE)
