'Foreign Legion' in Iraq and Syria may bring jihad to West
CNN ^ | June 16, 2014 | Paul Cruickshank and Tim Lister

Abu Usama appears to be in his late 20s. With a neat ginger beard and a rifle slung over his shoulder, he addresses fellow Muslims back in Germany from his new home in northern Syria.

In a 9-minute video released by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), he explains that he took his name from Osama bin Laden, because "he hit the head of injustice, and he is the one who terrorized [the West] as they terrorized us. Since they did not stop doing this, we will treat them in kind."

He asks his audience: "Are you happy with your life in Germany? Going to the nightclubs and having female friends?" according to a translation of the video by SITE Intelligence.

Abu Usama then appeals for Muslims to join the struggle led by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. Addressing al Baghdadi, he says: "The entire world is against you, because you are inviting to establish the Islamic State. Therefore, we love you and we stand beside you."

The message was recorded last November. There is no record of Abu Usama since then. German media have reported that he is a former pizza delivery driver from a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia.

But just how many have beaten the same path as Abu Usama -- from Florida and France, Austria and Australia? And if they come home, will they bring terrorism with them?(continued)

Is ISIS/ISIL really concerned with some grandiose plan like 911? Some of the 911 hijackers were fooled into doing a suicide operation, they thought it was a hijacking. That planning with fickle participants, is that in keeping with the dicipline that ISIS/ISIL displays?

They could just put four guys out in a car on a highway near you and start macine gunning the cars they pass. They might easily shoot up 50 cars before they run out of ammo or before they are stopped. That could happen any day and it could happen again the next day -that’s effective terrorism.

Or, as we have seen they have very effective (masked) death squads. They could send their star death squad here, we can’t identify them. They may have no record under another Nationality. They could send a death squad with a silenced pistol, and camera of coarse...to a Senator’s house, congressmen’s house, or better yet a celebrity. They could then easily slip away and post thier video. Again, that could happen any day and it could happen again the next day -that’s effective terrorism.

Like the “D.C. Snipers” which I’m still convinced was a trial run of that sort of thing?

Oh, it’s coming alright, and we will be in the fight
of our lives, history has never seen a conflict like
that which is upon us.
I’m old, I may not live to witness it, but that doesn’t
stop me from seeing it coming.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, all with dreams of world domination.
Yet, pikers compared to Islamic fanatics.
When will our people wake from their blindness?
When will even liberals understand there can be no
coexistence with Islam...

I lived in the D.C. area at the time. People were terrorized and that was only two guys. Imagine if there were more doing the same thing at the sane time all around the Country.

And our southern “border” provides ample, uncontested opportunities to do just that. Obama’s regime sees that as a bonus.

Resistance against Muslim terrorists will be declared illegal for ‘safety’ reasons.
Obama will surrender.
The MSM, sheeple and blue states will go along with it.

It’s just a video...we jailed that guy.

ISIL will blow the $430 million on sheep. A billion in annual oil revenue on cuos-cuos,

(Strikes here at home, on the highways, with silenced pistols, that will cost next to nothing. Less than shipping fresh goats cheese which I’m guessing is big on the upper West side of Manhattan. After all the free gluten more than terrorists.)

While the Left and “Moms” in the United States are working overtime to disarm the citizens.

OK, so the new generation of disaffected young adults in Germany, is joining the Muslim equivalent of the Baader Meinhoff Gang.
