Radical Islam Post 9/11: 'They Have Tentacles Everywhere'
By George Thomas CBN News Sr. Reporter Friday, September 11, 2015
Friday marks the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on America. Fourteen years after terror was unleashed on our shores, the threat posed by radical Islam continues to grow around the world.
According to CBN News Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck, al Qaeda and its affiliates are still plotting death against the enemies of Islam.
"Al Qaeda has actually expanded its reach since 9/11 and is present in more countries today than it was on 9/11 when we were attacked," Stakelbeck said.
Radical Islam is stronger and in more countries than ever before. CBN Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck tells us why.
Unlike in 2001, experts say the terror threat today is more pervasive, as terrorists -- often operating in small cells or as lone-wolves like the Boston Marathon bombers -- are driven to murder and mayhem in the name of Islam.
Stakelbeck says ISIS, unlike any other terror group, has mastered the call to jihad.
"ISIS, among the younger generation of jihadis, especially here in the West, ISIS is the cool thing," he explained. "They are so active on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, they are everywhere, ISIS is a phenomenon."
That phenomenon continues to gobble up vast swaths of territory in the Middle East, leaving behind a reign of terror and tears.
"We're fleeing from ISIS and the Syrian regime," one refugee said. "Even before yesterday, ISIS entered our village so we had to flee."
Formed in 2013, ISIS has quickly become a virulent, wealthy, transnational terror organization that is constantly recruiting. And now a U.S. official told the BBC they're also using chemical weapons in Iraq and Syria.
"They have tentacles everywhere," said Robert Spencer, author of The Complete Infidel's Guide to ISIS. "People don't know that they are not just in Iraq and Syria, where they already control the territory the size of Great Britain."
"But because they claim to be the only legitimate government among Muslims all over the world, the caliphate, they also have territory in Libya and they have gotten the allegiance of other jihad groups in Nigeria, the Philippines, Yemen, all over the world," he said.
Remember when President Barack Obama referred to ISIS as the 'JV' team?
Well according to revelations this week by The Daily Beast intelligence officials were altering reports on ISIS to fit the president's assertion that the United States was winning the war against them and other terrorists in Syria and Iraq.
"He wants to give the portrayal that ISIS is on the run and that limited U.S. airstrikes are having a great effect on ISIS, but meanwhile the facts on the ground say otherwise," Stakelbeck said.
Meanwhile ISIS and al Qaeda remain deeply opposed to one another, with al Qaeda chief Ayman al Zawahiri just this week releasing a tape blasting ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Still, the two groups remain committed to their mission against their enemies.
And, not to be outdone by ISIS, al Qaeda is out with its latest magazine, issued days before today's 9/11 anniversary. In it, the group calls for more lone-wolf attacks and assassination operations against some of America's richest men, including Bill Gates, the Koch brothers, and Warren Buffett.
As America remembers the horrific scenes of 9/11, authorities are still concerned about another major terror attack, as well as those 'lone-wolf' operations.
They also worry about the possibility that such attacks -- like those in Paris this year and elsewhere -- could become more and more common. And like 9/11, they would be carried out in the name of Islam.
Notice how the Democrats, the very ones trying to destroy our government, are the one's who want these Muslims terrorists here to speed the process along. Obama puts Christian refugees in California prisons - and they have been there for 4 years, while he wants his Muslim fundamentalist, acolyte refugees to be flown in and given welfare for the rest of their lives (refugee's get the full package of welfare benefits worth $60,000 a year without time limit, plus Obamacare - all on your dime. Wouldn't that be nice - free room and board, free everything and all the time in the world because you don't work, you just sit and plan with our money how to pull off another 9/11).........Obama will continue to raise the limit higher and higher to degrade America faster and faster with these Islamic fundamentalists and ISIS operatives sprinkled in. All Muslims are the antithesis of American values and principles, and they hate you as you help them. They think you are the stupidest people on earth to just let them in. I have interviewed scores of Muslims and illegal aliens and I have never met even one who didn't think this and they actually laugh as they say this. They have no respect for people who won't protect their way of life - to them we are the fools we are, and we get no thanks, and we get what we deserve - Terror. The very reason they hate us is because we help them - they hate weakness, and no Liberal progressive understands this; they are too shallow, or too evil and are actually trying to help them gain a foothold.........This quote right from the head of the most moderate Islam nation, a member of NATO no less - "Islam is Islam. There are NO MODIFIERS. Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective - world domination". The Islamic plan is to use America and the West (weak minded democracies), as they know we are Christian, which makes us weak and vulnerable, because most Americans are so naive they think they are supposed to help those who want to kill them..........So knowing this, they have put these plans into place, and remember, Obama is the headmaster, the Mahdi, as I have stated several times. His goal is to weaken America to the point of collapse before he leaves office. Now that I have stated the Islamic plan, I am sure there are very few reading this who actually know what I have just said - as it goes right over the heads of the naive, ignorant and gullible. This is why it is not long for America........Oh yeah - and have a Happy 9/11...Priceless
Commentator 8 hours ago ISIS is the true Islam in action. Muhammad would be proud. The Muslims joining ISIS or emulating them are the Muslims who are practicing the faith the way it is meant to be - with murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, extortion, bombings, beheadings, pedophilia (the new Democrat darling as well), and every manner of evil possible - so yes, lets immigrate more, lets bring in more phony "refugees" who are cowards running from their problems, and bringing those problems here, for you to finance........."The unbelievers are stupid, urge Muslims to fight them." Surah 8:65. "Don't hanker for peace with the infidels, behead them when you catch them." 47:4. "Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran." 8:12...........Just a few of the more calm verses, many are worse, if that is possible. Here again for those too silly to to know what is going on: "Islam is Islam. There are NO MODIFIERS. Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective - world domination." - President of an Islamic nation in NATO. All of this Muslim uprising is in the Bible, but I guess no one actually reads it anymore, with this result - they have infiltrated every bastion of the West, right up to and including the White House...Priceless
Thanks to Barack Hussein Obama. Hmm, hmm, hmm.
(Or whatever his name is.)
And there is no such thing as moderate muslims.
Kill the heart or brain....The tentacles retract themselves..........
Turkey and Saudi Arabia need to ameliorate and resolve this.
There is no substitute for a decisive military victory and complete military elimination of one’s enemy .
Our civilian political leaders have never had the resolve to pursue that degree of victory . They have been cowards and only pursued measured responses . Even when advised how to pursue otherwise , they fail to act .
Obama is worse than Bush , for him it is “ peace at any price” He is a fool and needs to be removed as thew leader of our Armed Forces .
They themselves should be given free rein to seek the victory we need . Unrestrained by civilians , ROE’s , or fear of politically correct prosecution .
Remember clown biden and the a##clown both said “generated crisis” they and thier gop friends are the cause of these radical groups coming to power. America who defeated the nazis and japan in ww2 cant seem to smother these little murderous brats? There are devious despicable things going on within.
