Republican congressmen have been raising the alarm about the Islamic terror group Islamic State, saying that the group already has plans in place for a takeover of the United States.
Now, NationaLReview has released an outline of the plan that is based on a tactical guide released after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The first phase is “attrition” where they carry out attacks in an attempt to recruit more terrorists and to build morale in the established group. The second phase is to build an army to keep ground gained from the initial offensive. The third phase is to use their army to launch “dramatic assaults” to destabilize the government of the country they wish to possess.
“By means of these mujahadin conventional forces, the mujahidin will begin to attack smaller cities and exploit in the media their successes and victories in order to raise the morale of the mujahidin and the people in general and to demoralize the enemy,” the terrorist author writes in a passage quoted by National Review. “The reason for the mujahidin’s treating of smaller cities is that when the enemy’s forces see the fall of cities into the mujahidin’s hands with such ease their morale will collapse and they will become convinced that they are incapable of dealing with the mujahidin.”
Versions of the plan have been found at Islamic terrorist training camps around the world since 2008.
The document clearly says multiple times the enemy are “Jews, Christians and their agents.”
A second American in two days has been reported killed while fighting with the Islamic extremist group ISIS.
Abdirahmaan Muhumed of Minneapolis reportedly died in the same battle as Douglas McArthur McCain whose death was announced yesterday. Muhumed’s family says they’ve received a photo of the 29-year-old’s body but that the State Department has not confirmed it.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said they were working to confirm the man’s death.
The U.S. military has been striking ISIS locations in Iraq as part of a campaign to assist Iraqi and Kurdish forces who are trying to drive the terrorists out of the northern part of Iraq.
Muhumed, who is confirmed to be the father of at least 9 children, told Minnesota Public Radio earlier this year that he was fighting for the terrorists.
A Muslim has to stand up for [what’s] right,” Muhumed wrote in a Jan. 2 message. “I give up this worldly life for Allah.”
He said he was “happy” that people considered him a terrorist.
The FBI reports up to 100 Americans have been confirmed to be fighting for the terrorist group.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is speaking out about the Islamic terrorist group ISIS and showing that the head of the military’s top advisors to the President see the group as a real threat.
“This is an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision and which will eventually have to be defeated,” Army General Martin Dempsey said.
Gen. Dempsey and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel discussed the terrorist organization with a group of reporters.
“Can they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization which resides in Syria? The answer is no,” Gen. Dempsey said. “That will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border and that will come when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating ISIS over time.”
The “nonexistent border” referred to by the general was the parts of Iraq and Syria taken over by the terrorist entity.
Defense Secretary Hagel said the group is different that previous terrorist outfits.
“They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded,” Hagel said. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen. So we must prepare for everything.”
The Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram has released a new video declaring their capture of a Christian town expands their “Islamic caliphate.”
A “caliphate” is a brutal dictatorship lead by a “supreme religious and political leader” who is considered a successor to Muhammad. Strict sharia law is forced upon the people.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau released a 52-minute video where he declares his terrorists have established themselves in the Christian town of Gwoza and they will not be leaving.
“Thanks be to Allah who gave victory to our brethren in [the town of] Gwoza and made it part of the Islamic caliphate,” Shekau declares. “By the grace of Allah, we will not leave the town. We have come to stay.”
“Allah commands us to rule the rest of the world,” Shekau says.
Nigerian officials say that the country is still intact and that the terrorists are not in control of their own “state.” However, one lawmaker admitted they are in control of the land.
“The killings are massive, but nobody can give a toll for now because nobody has been able to go to that place because the insurgents are still there,” lawmaker Peter Biye stated. “They have taken over the whole area.”
Shekau then threatened France, Israel and the United States before the video ended.
“Democracy is worse than homosexuality, worse than sleeping with your mother,” Shekau contended. “You are all pagans and we will kill you. Even if you do not attack us we will kill you … Allah commands us to kill without pity.”
A Muslim man has admitted committing multiple murders in two states because they were revenge against America.
Ali Muhamed Brown told police “My mission is vengeance for the lives, millions of lives [that] are lost every day,” Ali Muhamad Brown stated, according to reports. “Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan—all these places where innocent lives are being taken every single day … All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life.”
Brown is jailed in the Essex County Jail in Newark, New Jersey related to the killing of 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin on July 25th. Brown walked up to Tevlin’s car at a stop light, gunned him down in the front seat and then moved the body into the backseat so he could drive the car to an apartment complex and abandon it.
Brown also committed three murders in Washington State before he moved to New Jersey.
Brown said he was doing “my small part” in the war against America by Islamic extremists.
A four-year-old Israeli child is dead because of the terrorist group Hamas.
Doctors in southern Israel confirmed the death of Magen David Adom after he was brought into the hospital in “very grave condition.” The boy was struck by shrapnel from a mortar that was launched from the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
Witnesses said they heard three explosions at the time the boy was wounded. No other reports of injuries or damage were reported as most were focused on rushing the boy to the hospital.
The rocket barrage from the terrorists seemed focused on children as at least one mortar struck near a pre-school Eshkol.
A barrage also struck a synagogue in Ashdod sending three people to the hospital.
IDF forces stepped up their air responses to the missile launches.
Hamas killed 18 people this morning because someone had reported those men had provided information to Israel.
The men were executed without trial or hearing.
Eleven men were brought by Hamas troops to a police headquarters in Gaza City and executed via firing squad. Seven others were ambushed by Hamas fighters as they left a mosque after morning prayers.
Two of those killed in the ambush were women.
Hamas media outlets in the Gaza Strip said they were “choking the necks of the collaborators” and said that any Palestinian believed to be working with Israel would meet the same fate.
The executions come a day after three Hamas leaders were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
President Obama held a press conference to address the beheading of an American journalist by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS and made an unusually strong denouncement of an Islamic group.
“The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done. And we act against ISIL, standing alongside others,” President Obama said, referring to the group by their previous name, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The President went on to denounce the group has not being a religious group at all because of their extreme views and actions.
“No just God would stand for what they did yesterday, and for what they do every single day,” the President said. “ISIL has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt. They may claim out of expediency that they are at war with the United States or the West, but the fact is they terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty vision, and the collapse of any definition of civilized behavior.”
The President ordered the U.S. military to continue to conduct air strikes against positions of the terrorists in northern Iraq. After the President’s address, the military carried out a series of strikes against terror positions near the country’s biggest dam to help support Iraqi and Kurdish troops who recaptured the dam earlier this week.
The President also spoke of the victim of the killing, photojournalist James Foley.
“Jim Foley’s life stands in stark contrast to his killers,” President Obama said.
Israel responded to the Hamas breaking of a ceasefire by launching an assault on a building that was housing a group of Hamas leadership.
Hamas confirmed the deaths of the officials.
Mohammed Abu Shammala, Raed al-Attar and Mohammed Barhoum were inside a four-story building that was hit in an Israeli airstrike. The IDF said the home was targeted specifically as part of the response to the Hamas assault.
Palestinian Authority health officials in Rafah say that dozens of other people are still missing.
Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the situation during a public statement that Operation Protective Edge is not over despite the recent ceasefire. He said that the response is going to be a “continuous campaign.”
Hamas vowed revenge.
“The assassinations of the three Qassam leaders is a grave crime. But it will not break our people and Israel will pay the price for it,” a Hamas statement read.
The plight of Christians in Iraq has reached the point that even Islamic broadcasters are unable to deal with the level of violence and hatred shown by the extremist group Islamist State of Iraq and Syria.
Nahi Mahdi was participating in a discussion on his show when the subject was brought up about Christians being forced from their homes and killed by the terrorists. Mahdi surprised his fellow panelists when he said that he had been crying that morning over the treatment of the Christians.
“They are our own flesh and blood,” Mahdi said. “Some of them have left for Sweden, for Germany. Who does (ISIS) think it is to drive out our fellow countrymen? They must take immediate measures to help these people.”
One of the other Muslim men on the show said Mahdi breaking down in tears showed the marks of “a true Iraqi.”
“Our country is like a rose,” Mahdi said. “And its petals are the Christians, the Arabs, the Kurds, the Sabians, the Shabak people…these are all our countrymen.”
