Is the Texas Shooting the First ISIS Attack On American Soil?

Posted on 05/05/2015 10:51:52 AM PDT by pinochet

Isis has officially claimed responsibility for the attack in Texas: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/05/isis-claims-attack-in-texas.html

But some journalists are expressing skepticism, wondering how a person who has never been to Iraq, can be a member of Isis. The answer is simple - Internet recruitment.

Many Muslims from Europe have left the continent, to go and fight for Isis in Iraq. These Muslims did not become Isis members when they reached Iraqi territory, but were already Isis members before making their travel plans to Iraq. It is possible that some American Muslims may have been recruited in a similar manner.

It is not necessary for an Isis fighter to travel from Iraq to America for him to be an official Isis terrorist. If an American Muslim swears his allegiance to Isis on the internet, he is as much of an Isis fighter, as an experienced fighter who travels from Iraq to America to wage jihad.

The question we have to ask is - how many have been recruited? Thousands? Tens of thousands? You can make your best guess.

Texas has proven they are still the legendary land of gunslingers. One Texan with a pistol managed to blow away two Jihadis with assault rifles.

Armed Texans vs. armed Jihadis. Get your popcorn. This will be more exciting than the Cowboys vs. Indian movies you watched as a kid.

Only if it stays in Texas.

If they come to Minnesota, we’re screwed.

There was an “official” ISIS terrorist in the toilet bowl this morning at work. So far no one has claimed credit for the incident.

My guess is the cowardly mooslimbs will pick a less secure target next time.

Given that Obama was first elected in 2008, I’d have to answer “no”.

SHAMEFUL ATTACKS BY THE DHIMMIT MEDIA TO PAMELA GELLER AND GERT WILDERS

The American “Dhimmitude” media, cowed by Islamic violence, has accepted total submission to the mandates of the Islamic terrorists.

Pamela Geller, Gert Wilders, and Bosch Fawstin (the winner of the contest) are real heroes that have not accepted to be intimidated by Islamic terrorists.

In January 17,2015 and in the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a provocative pro-Shariah law event, by supporters Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicate in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993.

I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if some patriotic American had irrupted in Muslim rally on January alive, a real grievance more justified than the alleged 2015 and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists.

After all, Americans are profoundly offended by the abuse of our freedoms by those who made in Garland, Texas, the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians.

The “Dhimmitude” media, scared by Islamic violence, auto-censor itself and try to justify the terrorist attack in Texas because the Mohamed cartoons contest offended the sensibility of Islamic terrorists.

In January 2015, radical Islamists desecrated the holy soil of Texas. Do not mess with Texas!!!

Here's a blast from the past

Charlie Hebdo stands solidly for free expression. The West must do no less.

These guyz were not ISIS. Anyone can claim anything.

They were not battle hardened fighters. They were rookies that were quickly eliminated.

I agree, this was sudden jihad syndrome egged on by internet propaganda and likely their local mosque. I was just reading that Boko Haram, ISIS competition has a very low tech, very effective method where they send in a suicide bomber with either a vest or vehicle to create and initial blast then send en fire teams to gun down the wounded and disoriented.

That type of attack would be effective on any non-fortified target in the US. With the news of ISIS camps in Mexico I fear the first coordinated strike on our soil won’t turn out as well as Garland.

I do believe ISIS or some other muzzie scumbag group will try to commit an act on our soil....no doubt.

I ask myseff from time to time....seff, if ISIS were here or in Messy-co, would they not have munitions greater than an AK? We witness time and again IED’s, big bang devices in automobiles/trucks that level entire blocks over in the armpit of the world known as the middle east.

I pray they don’t get this sort of stuff smuggled into our country, but it’s been approx. 15years since 911 and what we’ve primarily seen is lone wolf style cowardly acts. Small arms...oh and an underwear bomber.

Don't have to be trained or "battle experienced" to be a part of anything like ISIS, just have to go do it and become the martyr while letting someone know in advance via the internet. Somebody in the IC (Intelligence Community -- don't laugh!) somewhere has apparently linked these guys to actual ISIS chain of command overseas. That's enough. Heck even the first part of what I said is "enough."

But while they might be insane and rage filled which can make them commit mistakes (hopefully leading to their premature demise), most of them are not stupid in the cunning sense of the word. As wolves they know enough to try and survive until the mission is completed. Therefore the fact that one guy with a handgun easily capped their two guys who were wearing body armor and armed with rifles (I won't say assault weapons becaue it has not been established as to whether or not these were select fire and thus a true example). This means a pair of head shots under pressure and probably further away than the range of most street muggings.

Is it just me or does it seem that the only folks wringing their hands and getting their panties all in a twist about this are the folks who live in gun control nirvanas. The folks in Texas just shrugged and reloaded. Tango Down! Twice. Next?

While *that* particular medium can be said to be 'interesting', the best medium for depicting the future of islamism is chalk on concrete, first used in Garland Texas circa 2015...
