The Rise of ISIS in America
Accuracy in Academia ^ | December 16, 2015 | Spencer Irvine

The George Washington University Center on Extremism recently published a study on Islam-based extremism by sympathizers of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, Daesh, or as the Obama administration says, ISIL). The study's executive summary noted that this recent trend of "ISIS-related mobilization in the United States has been unprecedented."

Some of the major findings from their report were the following:

~ 250 Americans have traveled to Syria or Iraq to join ISIS, or have tried to.

~ 900 active investigations against ISIS sympathizers in all 50 states.

~ 71 individuals have been charged with ISIS-related activities since March 2014.

~ 56 people have been arrested in 2015, "a record number of terrorism-related arrests for any year since 9/11."

~ The average age is 26.

~ 86% are male.

~ Their activities were located in 21 states.

~ 27% were involved in plots to carry out attacks on U.S. soil. (73% to carry out foreign attacks)

~ 55% were arrested in an operation involving an informant and/or an undercover agent.

~ A small number of Americans have been killed in ISIS-related activities: three inside the U.S., at least a dozen abroad.

The report also cited United Nations data, where the U.N. Security Council estimated at least 25,000 foreign fighters from more than 100 countries have joined ISIS.

Guess who’s coming to dinner.
Bearded savages, and they’re inviting their 4 wives and all the offspring of the matings.

It’s the government’s job to know what’s happening, and to protect the citizens. It has failed at this job.

Yep. And what’s truly sad here is that these enemy agents are indeed on the radar of the FBI, the DHS, and other agencies.

They know what these muzzie jihadists are doing. Case in point is the San Bernardino massacre.

Obama’s goons watched as these Farookers planned and executed their terrorist attack.

I heard on FOX this morning that the Kenyan has already imported ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SYRIAN REFUJIHADIS into America. This was prior to the great coward stampede currently underway from Syria. Impeachment proceedings are way overdue. It appears that the Kenyan is in the process of flooding America with Muzzies. Hence his current blitzkrieg to disarm Amrericans and wipe out Christians and Jews.

I will continue to call them ISIS. ISIL includes Israel so that is out. Daesh is what Obama and Kerry calls them so I am automatically against using that term. ISIS it is.
