Jihad In America: Terroristic tweets underscore the Islamic State's global reach. It has an army of Western passport holders, and an open southern border to cross. It's not only coming to the U.S.; it's already here.
Slain journalist James Foley studied his craft in the Chicago area, earning a master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. For a time he was a teacher in the Cook County Jail boot camp program. He was familiar with the streets of Chicago. So, apparently, is the Islamic State that beheaded him.
An anonymous tweet has an attached photo showing a message written in Arabic. The note is dated June 20 and is being held up in front of the Old Republic building on Chicago's Michigan Avenue. Dubbed the Magnificent Mile, a shopping mecca, Michigan Avenue is another symbol of what, from a radical Islamist perspective, is wrong with Western culture and civilization.
The text reads: "We are in your state, we are in your cities, we are in your streets, you are our goals anywhere." It adds the hashtag #AmessagefromISIStoUS.
Certainly Islamic State has proved adept at using social media to threaten its future targets and recruit sympathizers and members.
It would be easy to dismiss this as a stunt with no real significance, except that it echoes promises that Islamic State and its sympathizers have already made, including to fly their black flag over the White House, currently occupied by another former Chicago resident, President Obama. Also attached to this tweet is a photo of the White House.

When are they in season?
With all the violence, corruption and decay in the city of Chicago, how is anyone going to know if it was a terror attack or just another day in Chi town?
Is this really any surprise? Who does not realize they are already here. It is not like they would have a hard time getting across the border.
Heck, ten-year-olds are walking right in unnaccompanied buy an adult.
Whew. That is close. But at least they haven't yet gotten into America!
We are in your state, we are in your cities, we are in your streets, you are our goals anywhere.”

Got any headless corpses in Chicago?
They were coming in droves when I was in college many years ago. . . . education paid for and not by the U.S.(at least that is what was inferred). I don’t think they left.

Is this the big announcement today?
Hardly! LOL!
Stay out of the south side or you may not make it out.
Syria ain’t got nothing on the hood.
Thanks, Obama!
Not until the Obungler is out of office, if indeed he decides to leave office in 2017.

They’re here, hmm? Well, I just hope my little heart going pitty-pat in terror doesn’t mess up my sight picture. Pray the cops catch you first, boys.
I have been saying for a month or so now, this 9/11 will probably be “interesting”. Not looking forward to it.
