As ISIS continues to advance on the Syrian town of Kobani and close in on Turkey’s border, experts in Islamic radical movements think the terror group may merge with its al-Qaeda mother organization soon. Together, the group would represent the greatest terror threat to the civilized world.
“I think Britain, Germany and France will witness significant attacks in their territories by the Islamic State. Al-Baghdadi [the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, otherwise known as ISIS] may reconcile with al-Zawhiri [the leader of the al-Qaeda central organization] to fight the crusader enemy. The attacks by the United States and her allies will unite the two groups,” said Hisham al-Hashimi, an Iraqi researcher who just finished writing a book about ISIS based on his unique access to the organization’s documents and years of research and advising Iraqi security forces. al-Zawahiri
“I have been monitoring al-Qaeda’s leaders’ rhetoric towards Baghdadi. They are getting softer and softer….The Islamic State, regardless of how big or small it becomes, will come back to its mother: al-Qaeda,” he added.
The break between the Islamic State and al-Qaeda ISIS and al-Qaeda have a long, tangled history with one another. ISIS was the al-Qaeda official branch in Iraq until last February. However, they finally split after disagreements over operations in Syria.
The recent US intervention in the region along with the new US-led airstrike campaign against ISIS has actually forced the two groups to renew negotiations. For example, recent reports suggested that ISIS and al-Nusra Front are together planning the war against...

> pResident Obama says we’re not at war with Islam, but Islam is definitely at war with us. Someone had better wake Obama the hell up.
He will use his hope amd changey words and kneeling powers to stop them.
Whether they call themselves the People’s Front of Judea, or the Judean People’s Front, and whether they are united or are squabbling, they’re still enemies of the West, and always will be. Islam is the deciding factor.
> The world has really sunk since 70-80 years ago. Remember when the British fought global wars? Sunk massive battleships, and were allies instead of asking America to do the fighting? If people wait too long. Europe will be sacked, an we will have to mutually agree with the Russians to nuke the site from orbit.
Won’t happen. Russia is making way too much money supplying their military weaponry needs.
This.
We could crush them all in one fell swoop if we weren't fighting hobbled, with a hand tied behind our back, due to political correctness and diversity.
13,000 in Kobani, why aren’t they fleeing? If thousands of bloodthirsty animals whose #1 hobby is beheading people alive would you stick around? They stick around because they SUPPORT these animals, therefore to hell with them! The only way to end this is to go medieval on their ass. Show NO mercy. Bomb the hell out of every form of life, or anything even resembling life, buildings, road, bridges. There is no other choice. We do that or they continue to spread. They only thing they respect is death so GIVE IT TO THEM!
Russians selling MiGs and AKs to middle East happens if enough of the Middle East is compromised, the Russians will retaliate in a brutal way, probably with their FOAB.
Cue pulp fiction scene where not incidentally, a rapist gets what he was asking for.

Yep! Go medieval on their ass! It’s amazing to me that we have a President who would rather have millions killed than 13,000 not to mention the world economy being destroyed, speaking of which you would think he would be on the phone to every oil dependent country on earth saying this. We are at a point now where IRAN of all countries is saying “Holy crap, we gotta stop these psychopaths”. And instead what is he doing? Having his ego stroked by Hollywood millionaires
Actually, I’m in agreement with lots of others on the thread who are sick and damned tired of the U.S. always having to be the world’s policeman.
We’ve lost enough blood and treasure trying to make the world ‘safe for democracy’. Let the Euros stand and be counted for a change, instead of playing minor, supporting roles in these fights.
How ‘bout the Arab countries who stand to lose the most, should the Americans and the Euros fail to protect them? Why aren’t they creating a ‘coalition of the willing’, and banding their forces together to stop the cancer in their own midst?
Save our B-52s for the answer of last resort.
Thanks, but I am very picky about my ammo and only buy IMI 5.56.
No but strange women lying in them distributing swords is still no basis to form a govt.

....”I am not convinced that we can hold it together for two more years of Obama and his tribe”.....
I doubt very much you’re the only one wondering about that.....and so let’s just say it can’t continue to be held together....then what?
I don’t see anything in the pipeline, if things continue to advance as they have been, to stop this?
So am I. Only problem is this: politicians who don’t want it are usually pulling off an act to get elected. In th w case of Obama, he pulls off the ineffective war from the air that the enemy both knows and has had over 60 years to adapt to. This sheds awful light on how our military would handle guerilla invaders, not to mention the case of teens who haven’t been to college figuring ouf the CDC is FOS.
There is no such thing as a ‘new evil’. We are just witnessing evil in it’s “true form”...unabated. However, I think the bigger problem and danger is the world’s failed response to stop them.
It’s as if the world is WANTING, and WAITING to be overcome by Satan, so that these so-called experts can say,(even though every one of them is wrong about it) “See, we were right about the dangers of Islam.” And THEN, people will ‘believe’. Whoever is left.
