The Islamic State group’s effort to inspire troubled Americans to violence has become more of a terror threat to the U.S. than an external attack by al-Qaida, the FBI director said Wednesday.
FBI Director James Comey told an audience at the Aspen Security Forum that the Islamic State group, which has proclaimed a caliphate in parts of Syria and Iraq, has influenced a significant but unknown number of Americans through a year-long campaign on social media urging Muslims who can’t travel to the Middle East to “kill where you are.”
Twitter handles affiliated with the group have more than 21,000 English-language followers worldwide, he said, thousands of whom may be U.S. residents.
The FBI has arrested a significant number of people over the last eight weeks who had been radicalized, Comey said, without specifying a number. He repeated his previous disclosure, without elaborating, that several people were arrested who were planning attacks related to the July Fourth holiday.

Constipated Sherlock!
Obama. PWNED by the JV.
“troubled Americans”....
Unfreepingbelievable.....
Troubled Americans my ass.

It’s probably absorbed some of Al-Qaeda. As for Syria, it’s like a magnetic trash can.
Rating different muslim jihadi groups on a scale of
dangerousness is just a form of navel gazing.
See terrorist, kill terrorist! That’s all you need to know.
>> Troubled Americans my ass.
Typically sympathetic to terrorism, but not the neglected mental illness the gun-grabbers exploit when K-12 pays the price.
Islam is war plan.
what has ever happened to Al Qaeda? We don’t hear from them anymore.
That’s why chasing Islamic groups is just a useless game of “whack a mole.”
Before Al Qaeda was hamas, Hezbolloh, Abu Nidal, Various Palestinian groups, even something called Black September which pulled off the Munich Olympic massacre.
What do they all have in common? Islamic ideology. They are caliphate entrepreneurs, who have a long chain going all the way back to Muhammed. Forget about the groups, focus on the source of their ideology - and keep them out of the USA.
IS(IS/IL)/Da’esh = Al-Qa’eda In Iraq. Some of the liberal rags have been trying to deny this and even cover it up after that truth came out.
Hamas is the a wing of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Bro plays the role of “civilian politicians” while Hamas is its “military,” but they are just wings of the same organization.
Black September was a branch of the PLO.
The average IQ of a government employee has sunk to below 100 by design. Dumbed down schools, dumbed down govenrment employees are easy to control.
The FBI cant ID the elephant when shown some of the parts.
Crazy people are “hearing voices” and those voices are real.
Bingo! Kill them all!
They are caliphate entrepreneurs....
