'UNPRECEDENTED': New report paints a worrisome picture of ISIS in America

A new report out Tuesday paints a bleak picture of ISIS infiltration in the US.

Researchers at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University investigated the presence of American ISIS supporters on social media and found that “ISIS-related mobilization in the United States has been unprecedented.”

US authorities are reportedly aware of 250 Americans who have attempted to travel to Islamic State territory — some successfully, others not — in Syria and Iraq. And there are 900 active investigations against ISIS supporters in all 50 states, according to the report.

Most ISIS sympathizers the center found are young — the average age is 26 — and 86% are male. More than half attempted to travel abroad, and 27% were involved in plots to carry out attacks in the US. Many were American-born and had no prior history of radical views.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which has infiltrated our government, is the "Mother Ship".

ISIS is just a subset.

‘UNPRECEDENTED’?? Really? After decades of open borders and a welcome mat to terrorists how could this possibly be unprecedented? It seems a natural and expected result. Guess, its only news to the cockroaches in DC.

I can’t wait until the idiot “leaders” in America allow more terrorists in so that they can murder me and my family.

ISIS problem in America. Republicans solution is - let’s deport muslims and allow Americans to protect themselves. Democrat solution is -take guns away from law abiding citizens and open up the borders.

That is all an American needs to know for the 2016 election.

Interesting how this article only wants to discuss ISIS. It then seems to portray all terrorism as ISIS related. And then says that it all points back to the Syrian conflict.

By doing this, they ignore all muslim terrorist activities before ISIS.

The article leads people to believe that to solve the Syrian conflict is to solve all future terrorism.

I’m sad to say this...

Our major terrorist organization is the US government. They brought ISIS into America to kill, steal and destroy. It’s no accident. They knowingly brought in millions of Muslims they can not know while we are supposedly at war with Islamic terror. All the while, they want the power to disarm the American people so they stand no chance of surviving their Islamic civil war against us.

No one else did this to America except the treasonous Federal government. Congress happily funds it all. What are Americans supposed to do when it is the US government that is the terrorist mastermind operating here and abroad. When will Americans get a Patriot Act to identify and arrest the terrorists within the Federal government?

MSM's become a parody of themselves.

Unprecedented indeed. Fundamental transformation tends to bring forth things that are "unprecedented" because, as shocking as it is, when things are radically changed...different stuff happens.
