Oh, Good: ISIS Supporters Now Openly Recruiting in Downtown London
Townhall.com ^ | August 14, 2014 | Daniel Doherty

ISIS enthusiasts have reportedly been taking to the streets of downtown London to distribute leaflets and other propaganda urging city dwellers to renounce their homeland and join the Islamic State. This is a brazen and shameless act, not least because it is widely understood that ISIS is committing all sorts of atrocities in the Middle East. To name a few, radical extremists are beheading soldiers, crucifying “infidels,” and taking young girls as their own personal sex slaves. And if that wasn’t bad enough, ISIS is so extreme al-Qaeda (of all terrorist groups) has already renounced them (via The Daily Mail):

ISIS supporters have been handing out leaflets to Oxford Street shoppers encouraging them to leave Britain for its new Islamic state.

The radicals stood in front of posters declaring 'the dawn of a new era has begun' in reference to the caliphate and their literature praised the 'sacrifices' made in the Middle East.

Scotland Yard has said today it is investigating whether the men were breaking terror laws. …

The literature describes the 'glad tidings' that 'Muslims with the help of Allah have announced the re-establishment of the Khilafah (sic) and appointed an imam as a Khaleef (sic).'

It also sets out seven rules for supporters, including to 'obey' the leaders of ISIS, Sharia law, 'migrate' from the UK to the caliphate and 'expose lies' about the extremist group.

Today, ISIS, which now styles itself simply Islamic State (IS), has become a powerful military force that now has control of an area larger than Great Britain.

What's more, ISIS’ recruiting efforts in Western cities have proven alarmingly successful:

The threat of radicalized and battle-hardened Westerners returning from Syria and Iraq to carry out attacks on their home soil has been deemed the biggest security challenge for counter-terrorism officials since the 9/11 attacks. While the exact number of foreign fighters associated with ISIS is unknown, two recent studies put the figure above 10,000 - with about 3,000 coming from Western European countries.

That includes “dozens of Americans,” according to Attorney General Eric Holder. He recently described the proliferation of foreign fighters as “a global threat in need of a global solution” and stressed that the world “cannot simply sit back and let it become a training ground from which our nationals can return and launch attacks.”

Anyone who joins ISIS has categorically rejected Western values and is actuated by a radical and contemptible ideology. These jihadists preach nothing but hate and extremism.

Let us hope, then, that Western efforts to cripple and immobilize this dangerous Islamist group ultimately prove successful.

Good riddance. Just don’t allow them to return from the Middle East.

Please continue to recruit Muslims to wage jihad there. They make better targets when they are separated from the general population.

Has Holder discussed his observations about IS aka ISIS with his Sunni Brother, Herr Obozo?

Christians, Muslims, jews in Iraq existed alongside each other over a period of 2000 years. Dubya intervened and now everything is a chaos. Thank you Dubya and the neo-con administration for making the world unsafe and destroying the last vital remnant of the enlightenment - The constitution.

Before the NeoCons showed up, Iraq was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

Join up. Inform on any terrorist activities. Sabotage their efforts. Undermine their morale. All the while selling yourself as a fanatical son of allah.

Neither is Christians, Jews and Muslims living in harmony for centuries.

Granted, it may have been slightly better under Saddam.

Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations. 1989.

NUMBER: 1593

AUTHOR: Benjamin Franklin (1706–90)

QUOTATION: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

ATTRIBUTION: The response is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN—at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation—in the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention.

McHenry’s notes were first published in The American Historical Review, vol. 11, 1906, and the anecdote on p. 618 reads: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.” When McHenry’s notes were included in The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, ed. Max Farrand, vol. 3, appendix A, p. 85 (1911, reprinted 1934), a footnote stated that the date this anecdote was written is uncertain.

SUBJECTS: Republic
WORKS: Benjamin Franklin Collection

It should be easy, Brits. They are showing you who they are. Pick them up and deport them.
If someone where distributing nazi literature, you would. This is as bad as nazi.

W changed Iraq from the hell hole that Saddam Hussein wanted it to be to the Hell Hole that the Iraqi people wanted it to be.

OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM

Whenever Muslims are given “FREEDOM” they feel free to kill everyone who isn’t a Muslim.

I wonder if they’re planning on trying that in the U.S. - in Virginia - in my County.

Part of me hopes so...
