A blog dedicated to the destruction, eradication and information plus news and knowledge of the terrorist and criminal group known as ISIS/ISIL and also similar terror groups Al Quedam The Taliban and Boko Harem.
These terror groups must be destroyed, they are a disease on the human race.
Question: Why didn't the Japanese take revenge for Hiroshima, why didn't the Vietnamese take revenge for Vietnam? What gives Middle Easterners the right to take terrorist actions when the previous former and latter groups did not?
You are not a freedom fighter nor patriot. You will only experience either Hell or Oblivion upon death.
You are not defending family nor friends.
Shooting and blowing up innocent Westerners' and also Europeans and Israelis' is demonic, useless and cowardly.
You must focus both mind and body on forgiving alien or foreign governments bombing innocents, get a good education, rebuild, repair and focus efforts on lawsuits and such toward any government that had wronged you by bombing your people, innocents I mean.
Using terrorist tactics is useless and means nothing except making good people that die into martyrs of terrorist actions that take their life.
The Inbred Arab couple that killed 14 people were fed to pigs but the pigs refused to eat their bodies. The ugly inbred couple had intense hatred erupt for America and went on on a killing spree out of sheer hatred.
They leave behind a trail of blood and a 6 month old baby.
12pm, 11/23/15, unknown locations, Syria - Around 5,000 ISIS/ISIL members of the terrorist network of thugs and murderers of innocent people have quit the regime today due to bad food, lack of food, no water, unsanitary conditions, having to wear old, unwashed American clothes, rampant disease, esp stomach ailments, no toilet paper, minimal soap, nonsensical orders and abusive leadership, etc.
Suicide Bombers last words that survived a suicide bombing (himself) in his last moments, in Israel in 1999: "Pain horrible... Horrible... Thousand daggers on fire exploding in me at once... Forgive me." These were his final words. He then died.
Sales of guns, both open and concealed carry (handguns, shotguns, automatic weapons) bullet proof armor, first aid kits, bomb sniffing dogs and an increase in both police and military recruits plus careful planning by our security forces and observation by the public, also ready and willing to use their bodies as shields to defend the West are aware of threats made by ISIS/ISIL and are ready to engage them anytime, anywhere and at any cost, no matter what.
"And this is exactly what ISIL wants. Fresh recruits who lose their mother, father, sister, son in these kinds of atrocious attacks, and want payback.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the ISIS pigshit mastermind of the Paris attacks, leaving 129 dead and dozens more critically injured, was shot dead by Heroic French Police, less then a week after the shootings in Paris took place.
Officials report he begged for mercy at first but then became violent, he was shot several times, though was still alive and squealing like a stuck pig being raped, he then was shot several more times to ensure complete biological and brain death, destruction of his twisted mind and perverted body, riddled with bullets, blood everywhere.
His pigshit comrades body's, reduced to meat after suicide bombings, were fed to pigs and hogs, he will be too.

This 8th suspect and the only survivor by not shooting or blowing himself up in the Paris massacre and is on the run, too cowardly to face prison (where he would be raped) not manly enough to face police armed better them him, he is incognito, possibly on his way back to Syria, planning more attacks on The West, hiding somewhere, dressed up as a woman possibly as well.
There is a reward for his capture, his brother pleaded that he turn himself in.
Several dozen ISIS leaders, faced with dozens of losses of units, desertions and suicides have been in talks with each other about surrendering to the West, their is infighting going on, ISIS members killing each other and many members have become drug addicts, drunks and some have gone insane as well.
They are relying on old military equipment from Russia and are always running low on food, water, medical supplies, have no doctors and rely on Western products to keep alive.
Conditions keep growing steadily worse esp in training camps, bases, outposts, certain towns and such, new recruits are sometimes killed and eaten.
"PARIS — France bombed the Syrian city of Raqqa on Sunday night, its most aggressive strike against the Islamic State group it blames for killing 129 people in a string of terrorist attacks across Paris only two days before.
President François Hollande, who vowed to be “unforgiving with the barbarians” of the Islamic State after the carnage in Paris, decided on the airstrikes in a meeting with his national security team on Saturday, officials said.
While France has been conducting scores of airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq, it had been bombing inside Syria only sparingly, wary of inadvertently strengthening the hand of President Bashar al-Assad by killing his enemies.
But after militants with AK-47 rifles and suicide explosives vests shattered the peaceful revelry of Paris on Friday night, killing dozens of civilians in restaurants and at a concert hall, France seemed intent on sending a clear message of its determination to curb the Islamic State and its ability to carry out attacks outside the territory it controls.

ISIS pigs and cowards, killers of innocent people enjoying life will not prevail.
Westerners and Europeans will always laugh, enjoy life, be happy, be gay and merry, and continue living life.
We will always remember and honor our dead.
They are martyrs', every single person killed by ISIS pigs.
They will always be remembered and honored while ISIS will be forgotten.
A farmer in America has been naming his pigs and hogs, esp the ones that roll in mud and display homosexual behavior after dead ISIS members, including Jihadi John and one pig is named Mohammed.
Jihadi "pigshit motherfucker" John was possessed by Satan, spoke demonic languages, had orgies, did beastiality acts with pigs, ate Human flesh, beheaded innocent people, raped children and did other horrible acts, among other ISIS members and leaders.
He is dead now for all eternity. He knows nothing but the darkness and negation of death. Hell, maybe.
"...Far from being a stunt to impress the Western world, the letter is written in Arabic and is filled with jargon specifically intended to make clear to ISIS members that they are in violation of the Islamic faith by participating in the terror attacks. Among the key tenets of the letter from Muslim leaders: “It is forbidden in Islam to harm or mistreat—in any way—Christians or any ‘People of the Scripture’.” — “It is forbidden in Islam to deny women their rights.” — “It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God.” In other words, Muslim leaders are telling ISIS that it can and should go to hell.

Counter terrorism experts and political science experts expect ISIS to further escalate terror attacks (sneaky ISIS devils, obsessed with killing innocent people) but they are going to get and continue getting death in various forms.
They want war and confrontation with the superior and righteous West and they will get it big time.
Their version of god (it's probably Satan) will never reward them for acts of violence, mayhem and slaughter of innocent people, they will be cursed and their souls destroyed by the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
May ISIS be cursed and destroyed forever more and be forever disbanded.
I will live life, laugh, cry tears of joy and be gay and merry. I will support my country every chance I get. I will openly condemn ISIS. I support America, Israel, Paris, The West, the EU, The UN and our Allies.
"To all you ignorant Islamic extremist f—ks. As I sit here watching you execute women, children and men in the Middle East I chuckle. Why do I chuckle you may ask? Well let me explain something to you idiots who think you are so tough. You are scaring a population that doesn’t know how to fight, you’re bullying the weak.
What did Saddam’s troops do when we came to town? Surrendered, twice… All your threats of coming to America and raising your flag over the White House amuse me more than you could ever understand. In 2012 there were 21.2 million veterans in the United States.
Do you understand what that means? That means there are millions of pissed off veterans who have been dealing with years of abuse from their government stabbing them in the backs and having to watch friends die because you Islamic idiots can’t seem to act like human beings and stop terrorism and violence.
It’s one thing to take over an Islamic state, pretty sure we plowed through Fallujah in 4 days, do you really think you stand a chance on US soil? Do you really think it would be smart to poke that bear? Remember we are armed in the US and I can promise you that the Geneva Conventions will not apply to you. You attack us and there is no mercy.
The ball is in your court Islam, we are more than ready to send you to your “prophet” Mohamed…." Message from an American Marine

Tlas Surur,
an undercover ISIS agent, helped butcher, behead and kill 2 anti ISIS activists exposing the truth about ISIS, then fled like a coward back into ISIS territory.
ISIS/ISIL has no morals, no ethics, no honor and no shame. They are not Human, less then subhuman, less then pigs and definitely less then pigshit.
They are monsters, demons, Satan worshippers who kill men, women, children, the disabled and old people, just like the Nazi's did.
They are pigshit motherfuckers, human abominations', they sell women into slavery, behead children and cannibalize people, eating them.
ISIS must be stopped at all costs. Death and torture must be endured in order to stop these parasites.
"SANLIURFA, Turkey — The double murder achieved its goal. It sent the message that, even here in the relative safety of Turkey, ISIS and its supporters can reach its critics.
The bodies of 22-year-old Ibrahim Abdel Qader and 20-year-old Fares Hammadi were found early Friday in an apartment in the Turkish town of Sanliurfa. Qader had been stabbed dozens of times and both men were, in the gruesome fashion that has become ISIS's trademark, beheaded.
The deaths of the two young Syrians, both members of a citizen-journalist group called "Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently," sent shockwaves through the exile Syrian community here.
How did two young men, known targets of ISIS who took measures to protect themselves, end up dead?
NBC News has now learned the answer to that question: In an exclusive interview, Ibrahim's brother, Ahmed, explained what happened.
It all started, he said, about a month and a half ago, when an acquaintance of theirs from Raqqa, Tlas Surur, arrived in Sanliurfa. The man claimed he had defected from ISIS and wanted to help the movement against them.
"He came in a smart way," Ahmed told NBC News Sunday. "Ibrahim was a good guy, welcoming, so Tlas knew he could get to him."
Surur rented an apartment just across the alley from where Ibrahim and Ahmed's family lived and, in time, grew very close to them and their circle of activist friends. Ahmed said Surur became like family and that Ibrahim often spent the night in his apartment." Via NBC News
"There is no hope our organization will ever win against The West, our recent recruitment efforts have resulted in suicides or fighters being killed by drones, we must brainwash the weak and stupid through our efforts on social media or all hope for us will be lost, may Allah save us all"

There are reports that pressure cooker bombs are exploding in terrorists and bomb makers faces mid building them either injuring, maiming, blinding, disfiguring or killing them.
5 of the top leaders of ISIS have been sending communications to each other thinking of surrendering themselves to the United States of America and leaving the rest of ISIS to defend themselves without top leadership, several sources have told me recently.
The ISIS leaders in question are concerned with several aspects' of ISIS future.
A Kurdish woman known only as Rehana is said to have taken the lives of more than 100 members of the Islamic State.
The unbelievable accomplishment was hailed in a tweet sent by journalist Pawan Durani two days ago, saying the killings had been carried out while Kurds defended the Syrian city of Kobane.
The International Business Times reports, however, that several sources have stated the woman was captured and executed.
A photo that claims to show her decapitated body is reportedly in circulation.
But, like her 100 killings, Rehana’s death has yet to be confirmed.
The war heroine along with many other brave females belong to the independent Kurdish militia, Women Protection Units.
They fight on the front line with their male colleagues and make up 7,000 to 10,000 of Syrian Kurds battling against the Islamic State
"BOSTON -- Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death for committing the Boston Marathon bombing, one of the worst acts of terrorism to take place on U.S. soil.
The same seven-woman, five-man jury that found the 21-year-old naturalized American citizen guilty in the April 15, 2013, attack reached the verdict after deliberating for more than 14 hours over three days. The only alternative sentence was life without parole.
The jury sentenced Tsarnaev to death on 6 of the 17 counts, including use of a weapon of mass destruction, bombing of a public place and malicious destruction of property. A death sentence required a unanimous vote from the jury members, but if they had failed to agree on it, the life sentence would have been imposed automatically..."
A brave and Heroic Texas police officer foiled an ISIS plot involving two piggish and psychotic gunmen, radical Islam converts, that planned on going on a mass shooting and killing spree at a cartoon convention, mocking the false prophet Muhammad.

The Officer did.
Never, ever underestimate American intelligence, law enforcement, training, heroism, work ethic nor our will to die protecting our country and our fellow Americans.

A former member of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria
(ISIS) has given CBS News a detailed look at what life is like under the
terror group's reign. The man, whose voice is altered and whose face we
cannot show, recently left ISIS and is trying to get home. He was
interviewed by CBS News correspondent Clarissa Ward.
Abu Ibrahim is one of thousands of westerners who have traveled to Syria to fight jihad.
"A
lot of people when they come, they have a lot of enthusiasm about what
they've seen online or what they've seen on YouTube," Ibrahim told me.
"They see it as something a lot grander than what the reality is. It's
not all military parades or it's not all victories."
CBS News' Clarissa Ward interviews ex-ISIS member Abu Ibrahim
CBS News
A
convert to Islam, Ibrahim wanted the chance to live under strict Islamic
Sharia law so he joined the most extreme group there - ISIS. During his
six months with the militants he saw crucifixions. In December, he
witnessed the stoning to death of a couple convicted of adultery.
"It
was done publicly," said Ibrahim. "There were many hundreds of people
there who observed. While seeing someone die is not something anyone
would probably want to see, having the actual Sharia established is what
many Muslims look forward to."
Ibrahim told me the methods don't strike him as medieval: "It's harsh, it's real but it's the Sharia," he said.
He
described the role of the Hisbah - the religious police - in the
Islamic State. He says their role is to enforce Islamic code.
"Their
presence which may deter any thieves or any bad behavior but also look
out for things like music isn't being played or women are covered up
appropriately or that men are growing their beards," he said.
Life for western jihadists under ISIS' rule is almost completely
subsidized. Ibrahim told us they provide housing, food and an allowance.
"Initially
it was approximately $50 a month," Ibrahim said. "During winter it went
up to $100 so people could purchase warm clothing or items for the
house. They provided heaters for each house and for married couples they
provide housing for them - furniture, the essentials."
But there is one condition: once you join ISIS, it is virtually impossible to leave.
"The
restrictions on leaving made it feel a bit like a prison in that
respect that you couldn't leave the state," Ibrahim told me. "Myself if I
was caught I would probably be imprisoned and questioned."
Ibrahim says ISIS is paranoid about spying and is worried about infiltration. Those found guilty of spying are executed.
Despite
the risk, Abu Ibrahim began to look for a way out. He was increasingly
disillusioned by the executions of western aid workers and journalists.
"Some
of the policies such as the beheadings of non-combatants, therefore
innocent, some of those things I didn't agree with," Ibrahim said.
He missed his family and felt bored - jihad wasn't what he thought it would be.
"My
main reason for leaving was that I felt that I wasn't doing what I had
initially come for and that's to help in a humanitarian sense the people
of Syria," he told me. "It had become something else. So, therefore, no
longer justified me being away from my family."
Fighting ISIS with the Badr Brigade
He described morale within the ranks as "pretty strong," but mentioned there are some who are growing disillusioned.
"There's
a lot of enthusiasm but there's also some people who are not so
enthusiastic, who are even scared,"
Ibrahim said. "Obviously with the
coalition, things have become much more difficult."
Ibrahim told me his departure from ISIS isn't something he thinks he'll miss.
"I'll miss the friends I made and the brotherhood, but ISIS itself - no."
Speaking in
general, Mr. Obama began by condemning zealots who hijack religion “for
their own murderous ends.” He cited the recent massacre at a Pakistani
school carried out by the Taliban, the assault on Charlie Hebdo
headquarters in Paris perpetrated by radical Islamists, and the
terrible murders carried out by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS or
ISIS).
He widened his lens a
bit, talking about the killings of Muslims and Christians in Nigeria
and religious war in the Central African Republic.
Then
the president said this: “And lest we get on our high horse and think
this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades
and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of
Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."
This
did not go down well with right-leaning pundits. They noted that Obama
had not actually said “Taliban” when he mentioned the school attack or
“radical Islam” in the Charlie Hebdo reference.
“ISIS chops off heads, incinerates hostages, kills gays, enslaves girls. Obama: Blame the Crusades,” tweeted Michelle Malkin, conservative talker and author.
Right-side radio host Rush Limbaugh made the Christianity reference the subject of one of his segments on Thursday’s show.
“Why would you attempt to downplay Islamist extremism?” Mr. Limbaugh said.
“Why would you attempt to put in perspective the actions taken today by
Al Qaeda and ISIS and Boko Haram and the Khorasan Group and all of the
rest of them by claiming that just as many atrocities have taken place
in the name of Christ?”
So what was Obama thinking when he mentioned Christianity in this way?
First,
it’s possible he was just trolling, knowing that Limbaugh et al. are
always looking for ways to stimulate anger in their audience. But it’s
more likely that he was taking the ecumenical setting of the prayer
breakfast to try to reiterate something that’s been a US talking point
since the Bush administration: America is not at war with Islam. It is
fighting individuals who use distorted versions of faith as a weapon.
That’s the context of the remark. He leads into it by talking about the way religion can be misused.
“Part
of what I want to touch on today is the degree to which we’ve seen the
professions of faith used both as an instrument of great good, but also
twisted and misused in the name of evil,” the president said.
Then
he tries to make clear that it is people who are doing the twisting and
misusing here. It is not inherent in religion itself. And he tries to
link this thought to Islam in particular.
“We have seen violence
and terror perpetrated by those who profess to stand up for their faith,
professed to stand up for Islam, but in fact are betraying it,” he
said.
Obama then muses on how people of faith can reconcile these
matters, the good of religion and the evil of those who misuse it.
That’s when the Christianity reference comes in, as a kind of aside to
try to establish that it’s not just Muslims who have this problem.
Conservatives
have several issues with this line of reasoning. Some – certainly not
all – on the right think the premise is wrong. They believe the United States is indeed at war with Islam as a whole, or at least a broad strain of Islam, and the sooner we recognize this, the better.
Here’s Limbaugh from Thursday’s show: “Sharia law is the present-day threat to individual and civil liberties all over the world. Sharia is not a narrow cult. Sharia law is Islam.”
Others
agree that we’re not at war with a religion itself, but just think
Obama expressed himself poorly and made an inapt comparison.
The
president specifically noted that the violent acts of Islam are carried
out by “twisted” individuals. But his reference to Christianity, the
Crusades, and Jim Crow was less about individuals and more about the
religion as a whole, writes Noah Rothman at the right-leaning Hot Air.
“The
president, and many of his allies on the left, frequently trip over
themselves to emphasize – correctly, as it happens – that ISIS’s acts of
brutality are not archetypical Islamic behavior.... But to assert this
and in the same breath suggest that Christianity was also a violent,
expansionist religion a mere 800 years ago is a contradiction. Why make
this comparison if ISIS is not representative of Islam?”
So there you have it. The president’s full remarks
are worth reading if you want to make up your own mind. It’s possible
he knew they would blow some of his opponents' stacks; it’s possible
he’s surprised by the controversy. But controversy there is,
manufactured or genuine.
As Washington Examiner political correspondent Rebecca Berg tweeted Thursday:
“Today in hyperbole: Former VA Gov Jim Gilmore calls Obama’s Prayer
Breakfast remarks ‘the most offensive I’ve ever heard a president make.’ ”
Here's some interesting outliers. Information that isn't easy to parse. Over the last week, local ISIS forces have:
Publicly executed 13 teens in Mosul who were watching a soccer game (Iraq vs. Jordan).
Rounded up 15 teen boys for raising pigeons as a hobby in Diyala. They executed three of them and burned the birds.
Why did they do this? It wasn't just because they were being strict.
The key to unlocking this is found in this simple statement:
"It distracted them from a focus on Islam"
In other words, these activities made it more difficult for ISIS is
recruit these boys for jihad. So, by making the distractions and
activities for teen boys prohibatively dangerous -- it makes peace
boring.
PS: Indoctrination in the military and with cults begins by
stripping all vestiges of normal life away until nothing is left but the
ideology.
Also: "ISIS is an aggressively expansionist fundamentalist jihad. It kills,
enslaves, or routs unbelievers, moderates, apostates, etc. wherever it
finds them, which is the ultimate manifestation of Wahhabi
fundamentalism.".(from ISIS is Kryptonite via Global Guerrillas)

Islamic State captive Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh (in orange
jumpsuit) stands in front of armed men in this still image from an
undated
video filmed from an undisclosed location made available on social
media on February 3, 2015. Islamic State militants released the video on
Tuesday purporting to show Kasaesbeh being burnt alive, and Jordanian
state television said he was murdered a month ago. Reuters could not
immediately confirm the video, which showed a man resembling the captive
pilot standing in a black cage before being set ablaze. (REUTERS/Social

What was the west’s response? Censorship. Here’s a full version
of the video I’ve found (it won’t last long). The US government is
putting on Web hosts around the world to remove videos like this. So,
it will be censored and removed soon. Censorship isn’t a smart
strategy.
Censorship turns the video into “secret knowledge.” Accessing
it in defiance of dictates of a state adds to its allure, particularly
for young people targeted by ISIS.
Censorship displays a complete misunderstanding of how online
discussion works. IF it had been allowed online, it would have ignited
tens of thousands of discussions required to turn this into learning
event.
Censorship gives the impression that the West is weak and in retreat. The danger is that weakness invites aggression.
A member loyal to the
Islamic State waves an ISIS flag in Raqqa, June 29, 2014. The offshoot
of al Qaeda, which has captured swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria,
has declared itself an Islamic "Caliphate" and called on factions
worldwide to pledge their allegiance.
REUTERS/Stringer When Andre Poulin, a Canadian who converted to Islam, first appeared on YouTube
in Syria last year, he said his family didn’t understand why he had
moved to the country to fight with other jihadists against President
Bashar al-Assad’s forces. Allah, he said during his video message, had
pulled him to Syria. Poulin was just one of several Westerners to join the Islamic State,
which at the time was just a small group of extremists vying for power.
Now the Islamic State (also called ISIS) has obtained millions of
dollars in new weaponry and is gaining more followers like Poulin,
pledging allegiance to a group so barbaric that even al-Qaida has
denounced it.
“We tend to think they are crazy,” John Horgan, a psychologist and
professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Center for
Terrorism and Security Studies, said. “Because of what terrorists do, we
assume that can be explained via the pathology of those people, but
trying to explain terrorism as mental illness is misleading.”
The recent beheadings of U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff set off a wave of fury on
social media and forced Western leaders to publicly address ISIS’
barbarity. At the same time, news broke that dozens of young men --
neighbors, sons, friends, from places like London and Minnesota -- had
left their homes to join the group.
Horgan is one of the few psychologists in the U.S. who study the
minds of terrorists. In the more than 20 years he has been researching
the topic, he said he had never seen a message by a member of a
terrorist organization as compelling as Poulin’s.
In the video message, which ISIS later used in a propaganda video,
Poulin explained why he had joined the Sunni militant group. “Before I
come here to Syria, I had money, I had a family, I had good friends. It
wasn’t like I was some anarchist or somebody who just wants to destroy
the world and kill everybody. I was a regular person,” Poulin, who later
began calling himself Abu Muslim, said in the message. “We need the
engineers, we need doctors, we need professionals. Every person can
contribute something to the Islamic State.”
“Very often we see radicals decide they want to become a terrorist
turn away at the last minute, but [Poulin’s] message hit the nail on the
head, which is to say there is a road for everyone. It makes
radicalization and recruitment much easier,” Horgan said. “It is an
equal opportunity organization. It has everything from the sadistic
psychopath to the humanitarian to the idealistic driven.”
As far as foreign fighters are concerned, Horgan said, they are
driven to join ISIS by the need to “belong to something special.”
“They want to find something meaningful for their life,” he said. “Some are thrill seeking, some are seeking redemption.”
For many, the only way to learn about ISIS is through the news, or
through social media. It is not often we hear honest accounts of why
people join terrorist organizations, Max Abrahms, an expert on terrorism
from Northeastern University, said.
“If you ask terrorists why they joined an organization after they
have been in it, they will pair it with the official line of the group,”
Abrahms said. “But in reality they don’t join the group for that
reason.”
For the members of ISIS, joining the group means promoting the creation of an Islamic caliphate and ridding it of infidels. Last month Vice Media gained exclusive access
to some ISIS fighters. In a documentary, Vice interviewed Iraqi and
Syrian children who said they wanted to become part of ISIS so they
could kill infidels.
No one knows exactly how many fighters ISIS has; estimates vary
anywhere between 10,000 to 40,000. The majority of them come from Middle
Eastern countries, particular Iraq and Syria, but about 2,300 are
foreigners.
ISIS has been particularly successful in recruiting its members through social media.
In that sense, Horgan said, there is a "truly global appeal of ISIS"
that is new. "They have become so adept at social media that they are
reaching out to disaffected individuals on a global scale," he said.
When al-Qaida first began to form under Osama Bin Laden, members of
the organization were recruited from communities that already had a
large presence in the organization. They were then taught and
essentially radicalized in the infamous madrasas, partnered with a mentor, and eventually worked their way up in the ranks of the organization.
Today, terrorist organizations including ISIS rely heavily on Twitter
and Facebook to reach out to potential recruits -- those who are
friends or family with someone already affiliated with the organization.
From most of the terrorism research available, Abrahms said, those who
join terrorist groups like ISIS are the most "ignorant people with
respect to religion and they are generally the newest members to the
religion."
"They would probably fail the most basic test on Islam," Abrahms said.
There is still a lot we don't know about ISIS members, Horgan said.
We only ever see the end products like the beheadings and the mass
executions. "The commission of those kinds of acts takes a long process
of radicalization and recruitment," he said. "We don’t get to see the
gradual radicalization process or the interaction between a leader and a
follower. It would work differently depending where the fighter is
coming from and how it is getting to the region."
Over the past two weeks, the U.S. and its allies in Europe and the
Middle East have been working to build an international coalition to
fight ISIS. President Obama said at the NATO summit Thursday that one of
the ways the coalition would stop the threat of the Sunni militant
group was to cut off its recruitment from Western countries.
"We are struggling to control the stem that recruits to ISIS," Horgan
said. "It is important to look at accounts of individuals that have
become disallusioned as a result of joining ISIS. It is key to
preventing the next generation from joining."
The UN Security Council has finally spoken out about Nigeria, but violence is escalating. Join the call for an urgent resolution to protect civilians and tell everyone:
Dear Avaazers everywhere,
Boko Haram just used a 10-year-old girl as a bomb-detonator right after massacring up to 2000 people. There is a reign of terror in Northern Nigeria.
But Nigerian President Jonathan has said almost NOTHING about this in his election campaign, and his brutal army, instead of protecting civilians, is fuelling the insurgency.
The world has put this crisis in the ‘too hard to solve’ box.
The only good news: escalating violence has renewed pressure to act.
Let's multiply that pressure now and persuade our leaders and the United Nations prioritise this crisis.
Nigeria is deep into a brutal conflict that's ostensibly a Muslim/Christian war, but underlying it are tensions between an oil-rich, corrupt, ruling elite and a poor, disenfranchised and neglected North. Over 10,000 people were killed in 2014, and over 1.6 million Nigerians have fled their homes. Boko Haram now controls an area the size of Denmark.
Politicians have fed this divide, and the recent surge in violence comes in the middle of a deadly election campaign. Shockingly, President Jonathan’s under-resourced response could be part of a dark game -- if there is chaos in the North and low voter turnout, he is more likely to stay in power since his support base is in the South, and strong Northern voter turnout could threaten his re-election.
International military advisers and special forces have been sent in, but there is hesitation about working with Nigerian units with terrible human rights records. The UN Council should now prioritise a comprehensive plan that includes cleaning up and training security forces to contain Boko Haram; investing in the poorest regions; and prioritising an anti-corruption programme.
This is not a short, sharp, shock strategy -- this crisis cannot be solved in days -- but it is immoral to ignore it any longer. Our global community can ensure the UN Security Council finally lays out a genuine plan for peace.
If we do nothing, thousands more will be killed, and the Boko Haram threat will spread. The attacks in Paris have reminded us that terror has no borders. Join the call: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stop_boko_haram_terror_en/?brywDib&v=52373
With elections looming and violence escalating, Nigeria is like a boiling pot. Politicians have failed their people, and the international community has allowed the situation to deteriorate. We cannot wait any longer and with enough backing, a strong UN action could begin to change the game. Let’s make it happen.
With hope and determination,

“ISIS is recruiting for its jihad. It’s making the distractions and activities of peace for the countless teen boys within its boundaries prohibatively dangerous. In other words, it’s making peace boring." Why ISIS is killing teen boys ☀
One was killed defending Charlie Hebdo and friends. The other saved apx. 4 Jewish people by hiding them in an unplugged freezer, 4 other Jewish people were killed in that same Kosher deli.
Maybe it was the Pentagon or DoD but in any case the ISIS hackers left some sort of message followed by a porno video of ISIS members having hot gay homosexual male sex with each other and jacking off to pictures of Osama Bin Laden.
“The problem may be that America isn’t really built for satire, especially in this distracted age. Context and meaning can’t keep pace with accelerated media, so the stage belongs to the loud, the literal, and the obvious. Satire requires reflection, not selfies. Education and knowledge help, too, but let’s not get greedy. Satire is an extension of will; it doesn’t exist the way popular comedy does. Space must be carved out, grain gone against. In the wake of the Paris massacre, some say that satire is a universal right. In a corrupt, violent world, no right is guaranteed, something that earlier satirists recognized, and Charlie Hebdo’s staff presumably understands. Satire is not medicine, it’s mockery; and when you mock those who deserve it, reaction is possible, though ideally not via bullets.' Dennis Perrin ☀
"You can't draw Muhammad... Yeah, you can buy unexpurgated copies of Dante' s Inferno in the Muslim world, with Muhammad drawn suffering in the 8th ring of hell. The proscription is obviously applied unevenly and with prejudice aforethought. #JeSuisCharlie" via friend Tara on FB
The "hit and run" in France today by apx. 4 armed, cowardly and brainwashed gunman defending Islamic fundamentalism was criminal, terrorist in nature and pre-meditated, planned out ahead of time. These cowardly masked men killed twelve people then took off in only a fee minutes, maybe less.
These men, really sub human entity's are deranged and brainwashed. They kill without mercy and fear. They strike quickly. They are sometimes afraid themselves of dying, other times they seek death.
They have no right to exist nor condemn others that are critical of Islam. They have no right to execute anyone in cold blood. They do not represent my God, but Satan yes (and many take on the appearance of evil, resembling the evil one as well).
Their ideology and religion is a pile of pigshit. Any ideology they write down should be smeared with it.
I stand with France. The Freedom of Speech shall never be taken away by evil nor psychotic minds and evil hearts.
New security measures must be implemented and terrorists outthought.
Never trust them or buy into their false teachings and ideology. They are seekers of death, suffering and destruction.
Society will not give into them. God will judge them.
More brainwashed, Islamic fundie cowards (masked) nutcases stormed a French satirical newspaper today, killing 12 people in what I term a "hit and run" then took off. Two are brothers.
These Islamic pigs ideology should be smeared with pigshit.
Muhammad can and should be mocked and made fun of. Anybody critical of that is psychotic or deranged, insane.
Period.
Tonight I stand with France.
Support Free Speech and Press and Thought. Don't let terror take it away, ever.
