Egypt says it has bombed Islamic State targets in Libya, hours after the group published video showing the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians.

State TV said the dawn strikes had targeted camps, training sites and weapons storage areas.

Earlier, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt had the "right to respond" against IS.

A video emerged on Sunday showing a group wearing orange overalls being forced to the ground and decapitated.

IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which is in effect without a government.

"Egypt reserves the right to respond at the proper time and in the appropriate style in retaliation against those inhuman criminal killers," President Sisi said.

"Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals."

The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups.

Make that all the pain.

Yep- and Obama’s known since AT LEAST Benghazi that the terrorists were using Derna as a staging area.

In fact, as I recall Derna has always been a training center for terrorists even back in Qadaffi’s reign. No one should be surprised.

That guy, Fawkes, gets around, doesn’t he?

Thank you for taking time to view that. There's a lot of information available out there we do well to know about...but the reception isn't always favorable to what's going on... and sometimes better not to spread it around too much for obvious reasons. So I was glad to see Cruz and others are doing more than “Just getting it”...they're acting....and likely more ways then they're letting us know.

Someone post the slow clapping man from that old movie.gif, please?

The logical conclusion to your truthful statements is that America is not, and will likely not be again anytime soon leader of the free world. The world has turned upside down, in the distance of around 10-15 years. White is black, up is down, free is slavery, democracy is communism, capitalism is socialism, etc.

Everything you know is wrong. Basically.

[piasa]

Where’s that pic come from?

[caww]

ISIS is all over Libya....and remember once they mount up it takes very little effort for them to go after the young men to rise with them, (for they are already pre-programmed via the Koran teachings and Islamic Instructors), who are quick to act and gladly join up. Unfortunately the parents and ither family members then will not speak up because they have family members who are in Isis.

Islam “suffocates” and “strangles” any critical thinking these people might have otherwise had. This is why there is no moderate Islam....when you are “programmed” the way Islamic teachings do from childhood they have these people locked up in Jihad whether they agree with ISIS or not, they are helpless to resist without putting one of their own family members in danger.

This is why Islam has to go period...but of course that won't happen because nobody has the guts to get the job done...currently...the ultimate showdown will be WW3 or Armageddon before the nations unite.

I on’t know the location ...but from the looks of it Syria or someplace where ISIS is....which is pretty much everywhere they choose to surface from...

Recently there’s a Buzz that ISIS is mounting up in Malaysia with threats of going after government offices....their government is investigating currently.

[caww]

Italy’s tired of taking in all the refugees from Libya....just Sunday thousands arrived on boats....even threatening the Coastguard units sent to assist them...it’s terrible the influx happening in Italy...and these people do not assimilate in Italy who are refugees...no matter what nation they go to. Additionally they are ‘mostly men’ who make the sea journey...in today’s case there were armed and threatened the Coast Guard. But you get thousands together landing on your shores...some armed and angry....not to mention Muslim so they have Islamic mindsets....without their wives or woman they know...it’s a powder keg ready to blow for Italy. So not surprised they’re willing to do something about Libya...it’s the only way this influx of people will ever stop infiltrating their country.

4000 Fort Carson Soldiers Headed to Possible Showdown with Islamic State.....

The 3rd Brigade Combat Team bid farewell to the post in a ceremony and will head off soon to serve as U.S. Central Command’s Reserve force in the Middle East – the first soldiers into battle if a major combat force is used to battle Islamic State fighters.
The unit is Fort Carson’s heaviest force, armed with M1 tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles. Many of its soldiers are veterans of one or more of the brigade’s four combat tours in Iraq.

In all conflicts, the US is always on the wrong side, just ask any leftist.

[okie01]

Isn’t the territory controlled by ISIS in Libya on the far side from Egypt??

No. Benghazi and Sirte are in the eastern half of Libya, adjacent to Egypt.

Thanks to my weak bladder (TMI, I know ...lol) I had to get up, but that gave me an excuse to watch both videos at the provided links.

Sen. Ted Cruz at Defeat Jihad Summit

Nobody understands foreign policy better than Senator Cruz!

CRUZ or lose.

CRUZ or lose.

You’re not going to “get rid of Islam,” that is something only God can do. There’s no such thing as a conversion under force, beliefs just go underground.

And there are muslims who are fine freedom loving people who are in fact helping us at great risk to themselves and their families and who have lost friends and relatives to this beast.

If they were all like-minded automatons there would be no need for the rotten ones to torture and terrorize the rest.

[piasa]

They’ll swear to it!

[caww]

Just wait til ISIS rises here in the states and the black muslim rappers and criminals here join up...

German rapper, Denis Cuspert, whom stardom eluded has achieved twisted infamy with ISIS, appearing on videos gleefully hoisting a severed head and exhorting other radical Muslims to leave the Fatherland and join him on the killing fields of Syria and Iraq.

[caww]

He graduated to where he is seen here holding a severed head....and been filmed filmed and videoed in some of the more grusome ISIS attachs.....he's now designated by the US a European citizen as a "global terrorist".
