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.

We really need a like button on freerepublic.
Chicago already has enough corruption and violence. Go back to your hell holes, towelheads.
They’re just some guys in the neighborhood. Move along. Nothing to see.

Same at my college. They HATED being here and HATED being around Americans. Very bad vibes coming off them back when I was young, innocent and didn't have a clue about islam or anything about the world.

Chicago to Islamic Terrorists: “Welcome”??
And yet for all that hate, they did not leave... they rather stuck around, out of destructive spite.
Hmmm....
Time to break out the Remington 770 30-06 coupled with my fancy Luepold Mark IV scope and pick me up a fist of tags.
Do I leave them as carrion?
Someone has not told them to take a ticket and wait in line. Already plenty of communist terror outfits in Chicago, the People’s court protects the like of FALN members there.
wow, almost 6 years of Obama and Al queda is on the run Long live IsIS. Osama is dead but he lives. This is like a Friday the 13th movie where Jason gets stronger every time one thinks he’s dead.

Damn. It's on a Thursday. Might should keep the little one at home that day.
And we’ll notice the difference how?
I recommend being “remote” the 6th through 12th inclusive.
I think that depends on how many actions they take. Cause enough trouble and Americans, normal Americans, will arm themselves laws be d@med and will be ready for your little “warriors”. It won’t be as easy to kill us then as it is to kill unarmed innocents like you normally kill. And remember we have treated muslims in America with benevolence and respect. But our benevolence and patience has limits. I recommend you do not exceed those limits.
While the hell would ISIS go to Chicago? It’s DANGEROUS there...
Yes, but that is what it might take to deal with the situation. Americans may end up having to do what Americans do best, and that is to kick a$$ and take names. We will never, however, get the approval of the Obungler. I am convinced he is willing to allow America to be attacked with nuclear weapons, and he will do nothing, because I think he is a Muslim.
I had scheduled the monday before off. Don’t regret the date, picking up the new Springer pup on the 6th so I can get him settled in before things go boom. Hey, he’ll be a bird dog, needs to get used to loud noises.
