Islamic State: Biggest threat to United States?
BBC News ^ | August 22, 2014 | By Shashank Joshi

Posted on 08/23/2014 4:42:51 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel has used a remarkable set of words to describe the militants of Islamic State (IS).

He warned of their "apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision", argued that they pose "an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in Iraq or anywhere else", and depicted them as "beyond anything that we've seen". Is this reckless threat inflation, or is Mr Hagel correct?

Democrats and liberals are the biggest threat; without them and their wishy-washy kum-bi-ya feel good foreign policy and boarderline theology reversing victory in the Middle East and declaring Global Climate Change the THREAT, this sitation would have never happened. The children are hoping the 2016 elections result in the Adults (read Conservatives) taking charge only to clean up their messes’ so they can once again ascend to power only to repeat the “Screw the Working Class” Cycle again.

Had complacency not already taken over you would never have heard of him. So, yes, complacency, along with willful ignorance of the voting population, is the greatest enemy we face. Much of America will believe almost anything as long as it bears no relationship to the observable reality. Many old sayings that I grew up hearing in South Carolina have fallen out of usage. One of those sayings is, “The truth is welcome.”

I ruled out the first four but I have some difficulty picking one or the other of the last two.

All mosques on U.S. soil need to be flattened. All muslims on U.S. soil need to be put on ships and shipped to the Middle East. IMMEDIATELY!

>"The biggest threat is our CONTINUAL tolerance of Islam and Muslims in our very midst."

We consider ourselves civilized, yet we tolerate the SLAVERY of submission?

Ban the queeran! Ban the burqua! Ban Mohammad! None belong nor are compatible with civilization.

“their wishy-washy kum-bi-ya feel good foreign policy”

There is nothing “wishy-washy kum-bi-ya feel good” about it.
If they had their way they would go through the voting records
and slit the throat of every conservative in this country.
Their goal is to screw things up so bad that they can
blame it on the Constitution and conservatism and then,
establish a fascist state in America. And
just like Hitler did with the jews, wipe out all consevatives
and Christianity.
Look how they act, especialy the Obama, no regard for human
life what so ever.

Those of us who have actually been awake have known this for decades. These people are nihilists, always have been.

That fact is lost on this administration and followers. Disgusts me that Hagel seemed so surprised.

I believe the scariest thing about all of this is these people are in control and there is NOTHING we can do to stop them.

Surely our founding fathers thought of something...surely.

It is the ideas of Islam and the inaction of political leaders that are a danger to the US!

Quote-are freedom loving Christians willing to do what is necessary to solve the problem?

Step one. Repent from the state religion of secular humanism that is far worse than any little old Muslim group.

True freedom is not the ‘freedom and liberty’ this country sells and pumps to the whole world- that godless freedom has allowed hollywood, porn and music industries to have their corporate HQs within its border.. not to mention the billion dollar abortion industry...

America will not turn back from being an enemy of the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.. it likes its ‘freedom’ too much...so there are consequences for turning away from God.

Our true freedom and liberty that He gives us is infinitely better than man made freedoms this country holds dear today..

The biggest threat to the United States is not ISIS. It is an out of control fascist regime based in Washington and the political correctness and galloping statist and lawlessness policies which drives it's every major decision to the detriment of freedom, liberty, and the American People.

We can survive enemies like ISIS. We cannot survive the domestic enemies that infest our institutions and seek to rule us "their" way who have the iron hand of force and government behind them and are willing to use it freely against all opposition.

You’re absolutely correct and it’s worth repeating.

The country needs to return to God before it can be sorted.

“Is this reckless threat inflation”

Duh! Yes as usual. Code Red alert some 1st grade drop out muzzies in Toyota trucks are making threats on Twitter.

The IS is not a threat to anyone outside of the ME NOW. It can be fairly easily contained but we are not going to do that. We are still importing those people into the USA as hard as we can. Bush got the Moho immigration racket going and the present Sultan has expanded it tremendously. Moslems get Refugee status because they are Moslems and their “escape” to America is expedited.
