Over 5,000 foreign fighters have flocked to Libya to join the ranks of radical Islamist groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS), according to the country’s foreign minister, Mohammed al-Dairi.

Al-Dairi, in comments made to the Libyan news outlet The Libya Herald, said there were many “terrorist leaders” who had arrived in the country from foreign countries, joining terror groups such as ISIS and Ansar al-Sharia.

Talk about a band wagon effect. The only way to stop ISIS recruiting effort is a complete humiliation on the battlefield. Why not take Raqaa?

I’ll bet all these recruits are poor uneducated kids who never had a chance or a job from Obama.....Lately we have seen that most of them are indeed well educated, left good jobs and affluent families to answer the call to Allah the Moon God to fight against the infidels in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and other countries. Jihad John in a college grad, and comes from a wealthy family. So there goes the WH’s perception of Jihadists. And they are following the quran, but are much more moderate than Muhammad Abu Al Bakahri or many other leaders of Islam, which also makes the WH look stupid. So, bottom line is, these are moderate Muslims following the qurans call to kill infidels, take land, establish a Muslim government using Muslim rules and laws. Doesn’t sound like a religion at all, more like a text to a dictatorship. Whi is Islam called a religion again?

Personally, I think the issue is not that they’re going to fight for ISIS, but that they can come back!

If we could keep them from coming back, I’d be good with this.

And there are many Syrian business owners over here with gas stations, convenience stores, and motels to give them jobs while they plot and plan to destroy the U.S.

If ISIS is taking in all these foreigners it seems it would be easy for the CIA and other countries intelligence operations to infiltrate.

I hope that someday in the not too distant future ISIS collapses just due to plans and locations being compromised at the critical point.

ISIS goes through Jihadists faster than Obama goes through US laws

So, European news services ran pictures of pallets of arms made in the USA that ISIS has in storage in Northern Syria. How did they get into Syria? And no they didn’t come from Iraq. These were pictures taken over 3 years ago
