ISIS PRESENT IN ALL 50 STATES, FBI DIRECTOR SAYS
ABC7 I-Team Investigation

ISIS present in all 50 states, FBI director says | abc7chicago.com
Updated 1 hr 20 mins ago
CHICAGO (WLS) -- The ABC7 I-Team looked into ISIS terrorists in the United States- not just a smattering of potentially violent radicals, but terrorists present in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and all 50 states.

In less than two years, ISIS has gone from a terror start-up overseas to what FBI Director James Comey calls a "chaotic spider web" in the US, with young Muslim men being radicalized in Illinois and the 49 other states. Comey suggests ISIS uses social media like a job fair. That's how he says terrorists snagged three New York men facing ISIS charges.

"Those people exist in every state. I have homegrown violent extremist investigations in every single state. Until a few weeks ago there was 49 states. Alaska had none which I couldn't quite figure out. But Alaska has now joined the group so we have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states," Comey said.

In Chicago, there are several current federal cases of teenagers being recruited online by ISIS, buying plane tickets to travel overseas; plans interrupted by U.S. counter-terrorism agents, in some instances at O'Hare Airport.

In New York City Wednesday, the latest plot - to blow up Coney Island - is a scheme authorities say by three Brooklyn men now in federal custody....

So was he asleep at the wheel, or are they fiendishly clever foes who will kill you all in your beds if the FBI doesn't get more funding?

It appears he was on the J.O.B......how you looking now?



Three men were charged on Wednesday with conspiring to support Islamic State, U.S. authorities announced. The two men also had expressed a willingness to carry out attacks on U.S. soil on behalf of Islamic State, according to the criminal complaint.

All three men live in Brooklyn. Defense lawyers for the three men could not immediately be identified.....snip~

Re: ISIS present in All 50 states, FBI director says

Maybe Obama will confront ISIS, or mention radical Islam, when it spreads to all 57 states.



Who handed the GOP its butt in 2008 and 2012? Any ideas on that? :roll:

Lots of losers in the GOP don't like Obama, But none of them could beat him.




It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. (Anyone can do that.) But getting out there on the field and playing the game is another story.

If Obama's so bad, why couldn't the GOP beat him? Fill us in.

:lamo

We may have to raise the threat level from fuchsia to chartreuse. :roll:

Wouldn't that be a kick in the butt.

Voters get the government and the politicians they deserve. Blame or credit for Obama goes to the ignorance of the voters in both parties - nothing more or less.

Further erosion of civil liberties.

"various stages of radicalizing"

We're counting people who have looked at the ISIS twitter feed?
Surely that's a stage, yes?

"This has Nothing to do with Islam"

It has nothing to do with anything but islam. The purpose of ISIS is to "purify" the religion and to install their 7th century version of sharia throughout the world. So far they have made a very effective start.
 
Re: ISIS present in All 50 states, FBI director says

We were skiing in Vermont yesterday. I didn't see anyone who looked like he could be a member of ISIS there. I wonder if they stay away from the slopes and instead burrow around the general stores of the small towns or hang with the cows.

The headline makes it sound as if there were active ISIS agents poised to strike.

But the comment from the FBI makes it sound as though there is someone at least looking up ISIS web sites in every state.
"have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing"

Based on this comment, these are not all people who have finished "radicalizing" [however that is defined if it is defined at all].
It also sounds as if these are not all people who have actually been in contact with ISIS.

All in all, I think that the editor who chose the headline did us and himself a dis-service.

I mean...
AAAAAAHH! The sky is falling! Take my rights! Send the nukes! AAAAAAHHH! ISIS is under my bed!

The Islamic State, all Muslim, has nothing to do with Islam. Has a president ever said anything that STUPID before?

And by the way, since when did Obama become a theologian and and an expert on Islam? How does he know what is and is not real Islam? He doesn't know Jack. He just runs his mouth. Maybe ISIS is real Islam and the softies are fake Islam. How would he know. Is he the Grand Mufti?
 
Re: ISIS present in All 50 states, FBI director says

A lot, probably. There were a lot of New York Italians.

It's the ones from Jersey you want to watch.

Did the buildings "fall for it" on 9/11?

Tell the guy they burned alive that he has nothing to fear. Oh wait, you can't, because they burned him alive.

You are more likely to be struck by lightning while holding a winning powerball ticket then to be involved in a terrorist attack.


ISIS wants to build up it's caliphate, to think they would attack us on our soil, now? doesn't make much sense in a strategic way.


Scaring americans with ambiguous warnings wont make you safer, maybe less free, but not safer.
 
Re: ISIS present in All 50 states, FBI director says

How odd that the head of the FBI would resort to scare tactics. :roll:

I wonder who is buying them all those matching Toyotas?
 
Re: ISIS present in All 50 states, FBI director says

While that might be personally comforting, I think the pint is that SOMEbody WILL get hit by an attack. Its the height of selfishness to be satisfied that I won't get hit and that's good enough for me.

Besides, there's more to it than just actual attacks. There is the infestation of them at all levels of society. Courts are starting to use Sharia Law, in Europe they make some neighborhood to dangerous for even cops to go into. Don't think that can't happen here too.
