Most of those sympathizers are in the Democrat Party.

Most idiots like Cuomo have never read about the 400 years of Muslim wars that lead up to the crusades. And they have never read about the 900 years of Islamic wars afterwards.

I think they have the threat levels mixed up. There are not five levels in the military. Media, keep up please.

It'll take some time. First they've got to be disavowed of some concepts...

While importing kore jihadis in, and continuing to attempt to disarm/buy up ammo, and persecute American Christians any way possible.

In light of threats from ISIS, the security level at U.S. military bases has been raised the highest level since the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. More from Fox News

The level, known as "Bravo," is the third of five levels of alert and means increased security at military posts across the country. A day earlier, FBI Director James Comey offered blunt remarks about the domestic threat from ISIS sympathizers, saying hundreds and possibly thousands of people in America are following ISIS on social media and consuming their "poison."

A Defense Department statement described the elevated alert level as a “prudent measure” to help mitigate threats.

“The USNORTHCOM Commander raised the baseline Force Protection Condition as a prudent measure to remind installation commanders at all levels within the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility to ensure increased vigilance and safeguarding of all DOD personnel, installations and facilities,” the statement said. “This change, in addition to random drills or exercises, is a mean to ensure that we effectively execute our force protection mission."

The heightened alert means additional security measures can be taken including stricter inspections of vehicles and IDs on military posts across the country. On the heels of the decision, the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Ohio canceled a scheduled concert for Friday night, citing "elevated security measures."

Meanwhile, the FBI is admitting there are potentially "thousands" of ISIS sympathizers living in the U.S. and possibly willing to carry out attacks.

As the Islamists brag and kill more right here in the U.S. the Islamists living among American Muslims, going to their mosques, and effectively receiving their support will cause the Muslims themselves to become targets of a backlash.

Their constitutional rights no longer shield the Islamists. As Supreme Court Justice Jackson said in the late 1940s (parahrasing) "The Constitution is not a suicide pact."

Yes some Muslims have cooperated and greatly helped LEO. But will the masses be like their fellow Muslims in Turkey?

I lived and worked in Ankara (before Erdogan) for about a year and I respect the Turks very much.

From a few years ago:

" . . . 32 percent to 38 percent of Turks (upward of 25 million people) would never support the [Islamist] AKP or want to live in a country shaped solely by its values."

At that time (during Erdogan's first few years) there were literally millions on the streets around Turkey opposing islamism and sharia law. Where are the American Muslims?

After the attack on Pearl Harbor things were nowhere as dire as they will be if Islamists continue to kill and destroy here in the U.S. -- and the majority of American Muslims remain silent.

Following Pearl Harbor there was immediate action. Following Sept 11, 2001 there was action but it was a rush to protect the "religion of peace." When will it end?

Will such things as W.W.II-style relocation of citizens and internment of suspected enemy supporters be necessary?

Such questions rile some but what would they suggest?

BTW please provide links to reliable sources if anyone reading this says there were concentration camps in the U.S. There were POW camps holding Germans but nothing like concentration camps.

It’s good Americans are not armed. It might provoke the peaceful freedom loving islamist.

even mice will not run to cheese as fast as these knuckle heads run to a cartoon.

we cannot over spread the bait. pick a shooting stand and rent the spots.

There will be a big demand so there will have to be a limit at first.

Really? The Pentagon is worried about base security?
At the same time it's deemed perfectly safe to have a thousand ISIS members mingle with the general population and anyone who worries is an Islamophobe.

I have studied the crusades.

They were an extended defensive action against mohammedan aggression. The crusaders’ biggest mistake was not destroying mohammedanism entirely.

That's because our government likes to use us as bait on their own terms. Clearly they don't like us fighting back.

Are they having some Draw Mohammed Cartoon Contests on our Military Bases now?

Remember when the Liberals scoffed when it was said that we are fighting the Terrorists “over there” so we won’t have to fight them “over here”?

Looks like the Chickens have come home to roost.
