US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel has used a remarkable set of words to describe the militants of Islamic State (IS).
He warned of their "apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision", argued that they pose "an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in Iraq or anywhere else", and depicted them as "beyond anything that we've seen". Is this reckless threat inflation, or is Mr Hagel correct?

No.
The biggest threat is our CONTINUAL tolerance of Islam and Muslims in our very midst. These so called “foreign” fighters in ISIS from the West are REALLY transplanted MUSLIMS or their spawn who settled in western countries. But as Muslims they ALWAYS view themselves as citizens of the Umma FIRST LAST AND ALWAYS.
They are ticking time bombs ready to explode in our midst at any moment.
WE ARE THE ISLAMIC STATE! Have you looked at this administration?
Muslim Brotherhood people in The Homeland Security dept and other agencies,A Muslim is the head of the CIA an Iranian born woman as the Presidents most trusted advisor,Valerie Jarrett,Obama does not take a crap without asking her what she thinks,Obama in his own book said when the politics get dicey he will always side with the Muslims,he said the call to morning prayer is the sweetest sound on earth.
Give me a freaking break,WAKE UP AMERICA!
what a negative comment....in essence he is saying; it is all over, we are finished, run and hide under your bed....nothing can be done to stop their advances.....yes, there is it is called M.A.D
The general is of course incorrect
Barack Obama is a much greater threat to the American Republic tnan ISIL
Barack Obama is the greatest threat.
Or perhaps since there is no effort to remove him, complacency is the greatest threat.
Who is causing the most damage to America?
Who is the biggest threat to America's future?

Look at it this way: the Chinese, the Russians and the Koreans will probably not be nuking us or gasing us any time soon.
MAD has no meaning to people who believe they’re martyrs. They’re wrong, of course, but there is no deterrent effect.
Islam is a rabid dog and it’s always best to but down that rabid dog before you are bit.
Good, let’s leverage this to declare war on the Islamic State and every allied organization. Enough of this shadow war.
We (that’s you and I) will soon be hunting them down in the streets (that’s OUR streets) and shooting them down like the dogs they are.
Too bad. It did NOT have to come to this, but when the gummint is so deeply penetrated and you elect a muslim............
Congress and the President are bigger threats!
Thank you for your statement. It would be tempting to reply how politically incorrect and middle age (crusades) your thinking is, given the philosophy of the New World Order. However you have boiled the problem down to its essence. The question now is: are freedom loving Christians willing to do what is necessary to solve the problem?
You forgot Huma Abedin, Hillary’s long-time aid. There’s no telling how much info she’s passed along.
Almost as bad as our current national government.
If they do they will have to deal with the politically correct leftists who have seized control of the hierarchies of most mainline Christian Churches as they have done with the mainstream media and educational establishments.
Very few groups have combined this territorial control, state-like structure, and avowed intention to attack the West. Mr Hagel, despite his hyperbole, has a point."
These last two paragraphs of the article are an excellent summation of the problem.
