...the attack ... roster of fighters involved a multinational group that included Afghans, Indians, Tajiks, and Pakistanis. ...

Some of the group's dramatic attacks like the Easter 2019 Sri Lanka bombings, the attack on a Turkish nightclub on New Year's Eve 2017, or the 2017 truck attacks in New York City and Stockhol revealed jihadism's persistent appeal to a global audience.

... the Syria.. battlefield was one that drew in Muslims from almost 100 different countries and from every continent. This included Indians and Central Asians,

...

Since the Islamic State's emergence, Central Asians have been involved in repeated attacks in Turkey, including the assault on Istanbul's Ataturk Airport and the high-profile massacre at the city's Reina nightclub on New Year's Eve 2017, as well as attacks using vehicles that were driven into crowds in 2017 in Stockholm , and New York City on Halloween that year, as well as an underground bombing in St. Petersburg.

... Seen as polytheists, Sikhs are regarded as an acceptable target by the Islamic State like many other religious grous,

... Only a few ventured beyond, like Dhiren Barot, a British-raised Hindu convert who was close to 9\/11 organizer Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and was ultimately jailed for a plot to detonate a bomb in the U.K. in 2005.

....

Earlier this year, German authorities disrupted a network of Tajiks linked to cells in Albania and in contact with the Islamic State in both Afghanistan and Syria.

They were reportedly under orders to launch an attack in Europe.

Other Central Asian cells have been reportedly disrupted across Europe, and authorities in Ukraine have made numerous arrests of fighters fleeing the collapsing battlefield in Syria.

...a Southern Indian cell involved appears to have followed the sermons of Indian prominent extremist preacher Zakir Naik,...

I joined a US military website to locate old duty stations, and perhaps greet old buddies. The list started at the letter “A”.

I was astonished at the number of Arabic names, and displayed pictures showing Arabic head coverings, and pure-American girlfriends. Our US military service isn’t World-War ready...

I didn’t check names that began with “X” or “Xi”.

BLM is the new face of the Islamic State here in the USA. What do you think the coordinated attacks on monuments, symbols, and any and all physical representations of capitalist striving like businesses large and small, arson, looting, rioting, mayhem, really are if not the attempt to delineate the outlines of a Caliphate across the geographic American plain? 4 months of this, coupled with 6 months of lockdown restrictions constitute an exercise to see where to go next——which, ironically, doesn’t need definition, because the election looms barely more than a week from now. While we were primed to “say something if you see something” after 9-11, the FBI was curating relationships with people who were carrying out successful terrorism,like the two Tsaernev (sp?) brothers. And out of sight the plans were being hatched for how to make 2020 the pivotal year in American History. I have said for at least 25 years that our own “Left” has only loathing for this country and its history, and would eventually push us toward a Civil War. One way or another, we’ve got 7 weeks following Election Day for all that to happen and make 2020 the “pivotal year” I just described.
