Yup, the Islamic state is nothing new. It's just (about) 1,400 years old:

Surat At Tawbah 123:

O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.
Surat Al Maibah 33:
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,
Surat Al Anfal 12:
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."

Nothing new at all.

Exactly. And for 1400 years, people have been discounting its inherently vicious and violent nature - until suddenly their own heads start to roll.

The Crusades only began after years of attacks by Muslims on Europeans and their capture of the Christian and Jewish holy places, and even then weren’t universally supported by the many warring European rulers and ran out of steam after the first few successes. As soon as Islam is knocked back a bit, people decide they’re safe and they can go back into their fantasyland again.

All fights against Islam over those 1400 years have been defensive in nature, when the levels of kidnappings, theft, rape and beheadings becomes too great for even the most sluggish Western country to ignore. Personally, I think it’s time to go on the offense.

Andy McCarthy has been right, determined and steadfast about exposing the truths about Islam and the radicalism inherent in it. He's seen its zealots up close and personal as he led the prosecution against the Blind Sheik (Omar Abdel Rahman) and eleven other jihadists for waging a terrorist war against the United States – including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a plot to bomb New York City landmarks. After the 9/11 attacks, he supervised the U.S. attorney’s command-post near Ground Zero. He later served as an advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense.

“What jihadists need to attack the United States is safe haven and state sponsorship, which enable them to plan and train; financial and weapons resources; and lax immigration enforcement.”

I submit that they have every element described above right here in the United States.

I suspect the next terrorist attack against the US will come from jihadis allowed into the US through student visas/immigration/refugee programs and supported by the welfare state.

I suspect the attacks will occur primarily in places where gun controls are strict - such as DC or NYC - or schools.

So why do we persist with the BS that somehow ISIS in Iraq is important to defending the US - when we do nothing to protect our women and children in the US from these very same people?

I think it’s bureaucrats in places like DoD opining for more budget - “not letting a crisis go to waste” in their thirst for more and more taxpayer money.

I think our homeland “security” folks will let a domestic attack happen, because they can then opine for more budget and power to control people.

Citizens become mere sacrificial pawns to justify ever-increasing budgets for bloated government bureaucracies.

If I’m right, it will be a high-water mark for government incompetence.

The tragic possibility that citizens will be left to defend themselves from both government and from terrorists cannot be dismissed as ridiculous.

How is it with more spending than ever on “security” we are less secure than we ever have been against terrorism?

Kill them all, and let Allah sort them out.
