ISIS Threatens Europe
Western Journalism ^ | February 19, 2015 | L. Todd Wood

Posted on 02/20/2015 12:56:15 AM PST by Mozilla

The headline in the UK newspaper, The Independent, says it all: Libya civil war: Italy ready to train anti-Isis forces to protect its own borders. Europe is getting scared of ISIS, especially Italy, whose southern islands are only 185 miles from the coast of Libya, where ISIS recently beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians on the beach.

It doesn’t help that ISIS recently threatened to conquer Rome. With the historical record showing that ISIS typically lives up to its threats, I can understand why the Italians are worried. Couple the threat of being conquered with the reality of terrorists living amongst you and regularly killing those who they don’t agree with, and Europe has a real problem.

The continent has liberalized immigration rules and allowed hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants into the European Union over the last decade. This wave of newcomers is changing Europe itself. The worry is that the Muslims already in-country will link up with new waves of ISIS fighters and refugees from Africa.

Yeah, but once ISIS forces reach land in Italy, that have to be granted citizenship...or at least refugee status. That’s the law in Europe! Italy is powerless to protect themselves!

ISIS just wants a caliphate that cuts across southern europe like in the good old days before the evil christians meanly killed a bunch to slow and stop them. Hopefully this time the crazy catholics will turn the other cheek like our christian president does for ISIS. It seems the europeans have happily done so for years, so no sense getting mean now.

Europe needs to find a conference table around which to sit and work out a Final Solution to an Existential Question.

Citizens aren’t nearly armed well in Italy either.

This country is not going to help Europe repel the bearded savages because our fearless leader hates Europe and loves the subhuman vermin.

You know honestly, I think Europe needs a wake up call and if this means ISIS going in and kicking a little butt for awhile it MIGHT be worth it. Europe has not taken war seriously since World War II....they need a serious attitude adjustment on it. This might just work.

The EU cannot stop the JV. Philosophically deficient, physically unarmed, demographically doomed. Jihad rolls.

It seems like an awful lot of risk that Euroe has assumed just to get cheaper cab drivers.

All of Italy’s and Europe’s realizations and preparations are for nought so long as they retain their paynim populations.Their future as non sharia compliant countries depends on expelling all the Moslems, every single one. The same goes for the USA.

Western civilization needs a wake up call, especially that part of North America north of the Rio Grande.

There is a strong, and understandable, isolationist streak in America. Remember World War 2 was in grave doubt until the morning of December 7, 1941. That was the day the one of the Axis powers tried to cross a bridge too far.

I thought September 11, 2001 was another turning point. After winning wars in Afghanistan and Iraq America thought the job was over and elected a clown who promised peace and the moon. This war is just beginning. America is not engaged and the outcome will be in doubt until America wakes up.

This president will not engage in a war against his muslim brothers. He will pretend, but he will not engage. Instead he will seek to overthrow arab leaders like Kadaffi and Sisi and Assad who are actually holding back the forces of anarchy. He will work with the Iranians, who are out to destroy the USA and Israel. Most vile of all, he will work to undermine Netanyahu.

We are living through the late 1930's again. The parallels are eerie. The swastika has been replaced by the black flag of the caliphate but the results are the same, death and destruction. Just like Hitler grabbed Czechoslovakia and Austria, ISIS is gobbling up parts of Iraq and Syria. Libya seems to be next. Is Italy to ISIS what Poland was to Hitler?

How is that multi cultural thing working out now, Luigi?

Another, in a long line of utterly failed bankrupt stupid Liberal ideas.

Beyond the danger of internal terrorism, is saddens me to see to loss of the unique, interesting cultures in Europe. The world will be a lesser place without the Germans, French, Danes, Swedes, Dutch, & other cultures, homogenized into a politically correct islamic EU ummah.

When will the French, German, Belgians, Jordanians, Egyptians, and ? make anti-terror raids on our “No Go Zones”, the White House, AG Office, Homeland Security, State and our MSM home offices to clean out the Pro Islamic Thugs in our “No Go Zones“!?

The leaders in these countries recognize ISIS as a threat to their nations. Lies and nuances by our Sunni POTUS and his Muslim Brotherhood thugs in DC, will not be tolerated by these foreign leaders.
