ISIS enthusiasts have reportedly been taking to the streets of downtown London to distribute leaflets and other propaganda urging city dwellers to renounce their homeland and join the Islamic State. This is a brazen and shameless act, not least because it is widely understood that ISIS is committing all sorts of atrocities in the Middle East. To name a few, radical extremists are beheading soldiers, crucifying “infidels,” and taking young girls as their own personal sex slaves. And if that wasn’t bad enough, ISIS is so extreme al-Qaeda (of all terrorist groups) has already renounced them (via The Daily Mail):
ISIS supporters have been handing out leaflets to Oxford Street shoppers encouraging them to leave Britain for its new Islamic state.
The radicals stood in front of posters declaring 'the dawn of a new era has begun' in reference to the caliphate and their literature praised the 'sacrifices' made in the Middle East.
Scotland Yard has said today it is investigating whether the men were breaking terror laws. …
The literature describes the 'glad tidings' that 'Muslims with the help of Allah have announced the re-establishment of the Khilafah (sic) and appointed an imam as a Khaleef (sic).'
It also sets out seven rules for supporters, including to 'obey' the leaders of ISIS, Sharia law, 'migrate' from the UK to the caliphate and 'expose lies' about the extremist group.
Today, ISIS, which now styles itself simply Islamic State (IS), has become a powerful military force that now has control of an area larger than Great Britain.
What's more, ISIS’ recruiting efforts in Western cities have proven alarmingly successful:
The threat of radicalized and battle-hardened Westerners returning from Syria and Iraq to carry out attacks on their home soil has been deemed the biggest security challenge for counter-terrorism officials since the 9/11 attacks. While the exact number of foreign fighters associated with ISIS is unknown, two recent studies put the figure above 10,000 - with about 3,000 coming from Western European countries.
That includes “dozens of Americans,” according to Attorney General Eric Holder. He recently described the proliferation of foreign fighters as “a global threat in need of a global solution” and stressed that the world “cannot simply sit back and let it become a training ground from which our nationals can return and launch attacks.”
Anyone who joins ISIS has categorically rejected Western values and is actuated by a radical and contemptible ideology. These jihadists preach nothing but hate and extremism.
Let us hope, then, that Western efforts to cripple and immobilize this dangerous Islamist group ultimately prove successful.

I understand they are already here and they came via the tunnels from Mexico
If it gets the Muzzies to leave England, then good.
I could not have said it any better. Thanks for informing the ignorant
Have you forgotten the millions of Iraqis that Saddam's evil regime and his evil sons tortured by pushing them through wood chippers, or pushing them in bathtubs that were filled with acid. Also throwing them from 4 story buildings with their hands tied behind them. Don't forget forcing them to watch the thugs rape the wives and doughters of the victims
Yeah Saddam was a nice guy. /sarcasm>
Par for the course in Iraqi history.
If so, I haven’t seen any of them openly recruiting yet.
Seeing ISIS reminds me of Clinton’s quote “It all depends on what the meaning of “is” “is”.
and back in 1938 Germany, the trains ran on time and the young people were pure (actual wistful quote heard from a German)
they will never migrate and give up indoor plumbing and high end shopping
Will this be allowed in the United States?
Beware the Person that delivers your Takeaway
Um, NO.
Still waiting to hear some serious argument.
