Islamic State militants are planning a takeover of Libya as a "gateway" to wage war across the whole of southern Europe, letters written by the group's supporters have revealed.

The jihadists hope to flood the north African state with militiamen from Syria and Iraq, who will then sail across the Mediterranean posing as migrants on people trafficking vessels, according to plans seen by Quilliam, the British anti-extremist group.

Very easily implemented I would think. Italy alone pulls hundreds of north Africans and others from leaky boats every week as does Malta.

Yep. All hail the caliphate and the recreation of the Ottoman Empire. Only question is....who’s in charge. Sunni or Shia.

And don't forget the USA.

Fron another source. CNS-The United States has "a long tradition of welcoming refugees," and it expects to welcome thousands more of them from Syria in 2015 and 2016, despite concerns about foreign fighters, the State Department said.

“He added last night that he did not regret British efforts to oust Col Gaddafi, despite the threat from terrorists, insisting that it was the ‘right thing to do”.

It’s the privilege of leftists never to be wrong, unless, of course, they fail to be left enough.

I'm willing to go defend. All I want is a nice little place on the Amalfi coast when it's all over and ISIS is gone.

If the Italian navy has the balls to do it, a few torpedos from one of their submarines should scuttle the plans of ISIS.

Good morning Europe, this is your wake up call. May I suggest you skip the De-Caf and take you coffee straight this morning. I think you are going to need it.

Europe needn’t worry...
CHINA can afford to protect them, and wouldn’t mind getting some Libyan oil.

That broke old super-power (what was it’s name?) isn’t needed thank goodness!
