I never realized how bad the ISIS and radicalized Muslim's problem in this country is becoming.


Those people exist in every state. I have homegrown violent extremist investigations in every single state. Until a few weeks ago there was 49 states. Alaska had none which I couldn't quite figure out. But Alaska has now joined the group so we have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states.
- FBI Director James Comey
50 States

On May 8th the military just upped their security at all the bases across the U.S. It's no surprise when you look at the crazy amount of activity that ISIS has taken in the US in recent months. Federal authorities have found 150 US residents that have traveled and joined ISIS. 40 of those have returned to the US, only about a dozen of those that traveled joined ISIS in the fighting ranks. However, most have been charged and others are under tight surveillance. These are just the ones that they knew about. Recently, a woman (ISIS sympathizer) claimed as many as 71 "fighters" were on US soil, with 23 willing to do missions such as the Texas shooting. 23 seems like a very small number when you consider all of the plots listed below. My guess is there are many more than that. The spoiled plots below range from bombings, to shootings at military bases. One thing you will see is that the FBI is very deeply active in taking down suspected terrorists (applause to them).

ISIS probably won't be marching the ground in boots on American soil, but you can be sure they will be carrying out as many "lone wolf" attacks as they can. The Texas shooting was a good example of that. While they weren't ISIS fighters, they were encouraged by a terror recruiter from Minnesota who has left to Somalia, Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan. Six US citizens of Somali descent were arrested recently also, all from Minneapolis MN. They have ties back to Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan through one of their brothers who was close friends with Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan. Minneapolis has the largest Somali community in the US and is a major terror pipeline for recruitment.

It's no wonder that ISIS had threatened the Mall Of America, which is located in Minneapolis. That on top of other threats, LAX recently, Memphis-Arkansas Bridge, etc.

I've put together a list of different plots from ISIS, many occurring within the last month and a half, that were prevented. With FBI director James Comey's recent statement that ISIS has "thousands" of sympathizers in the US, I think we are in for a long ride trying to fight radicalized Muslims on our own soil.

All this from what Mr. Obama called a "jayvee" team less than a year ago?

I believe little of what governmental officials say.

I will protect my city, my state, my freedoms in this country, my neighbors and my loved ones. As for me, I've been blessed in this life in many ways. I will be here through whatever evil comes, if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise.

I can't help but wonder how much a role the FBI had in setting up some these 'foiled' attacks. Anyone who is familiar with the FBI's counter terrorism is they will often 'recruit' troubled young naive people and give them enough bomb building parts so they can set them up and claim to be the heroes of the day.

I personally believe the white supremacist militia types are a much greater threat to US homeland than the 'ISIS' bogeyman.

Just thinking out loud here but...Is this not inevitable when our governments (US/Canada/UK and others) destroyed so much of their countries, families and infrastructure on the trumped up charges beginning with 9/11? Even if orchestrated by higher ups, on the cannon fodder level, is this not the rage of disillusioned young people? Angry at having destroyed futures, cloaked in and fueled by religious zeal? And fellow muslims with a rigid dogma jumping in on principle, in sympathy or fearing the warmongers must be destroyed or their country may be next?

We sure don't like it coming back to bite, eh?

No offense op, I realize you are just reporting facts.... but I could have predicted this over a decade ago. It didn't need to happen.

Are ISIS perhaps looking for the US federal protectors, like CIA, to shift focus/manpower away from the middle east?

First, that is a left wing site to put it mildly.. you have one professor in that article willing to put the war in afghanistan and iraq as Christian terrorism, which is absurd.

I will say that Islamic extremism is rising, and I have said that LONG before I myself converted to Christianity. It was something I fought against within the Muslim community where I lived, and it was a loosing battle.

Now.. that is extremism as a whole.. how many of those people will ever be willing to actually and physically kill over it is probably another story entirely. But the prison system is a main target for promoting extremism, and then it is carried on on the outside once they are released from prison.

There are other avenues of extremism, anyone who feels any kind of a disconnect from society, but their numbers are rising..

Numbers from 1972 to now are meaningless... extremism has risen in this country just over the last 10 - 15 years by a large amount.

Now, you also have your political protesting and rioting to be concerned with, things like Baltimore are a prime example, also the weird school shootings.. so, there is a lot of violence in general today.

But I don't think we can discount the growing numbers of ISIS supporters in this country. To do so would be ignorant.

No we can discuss, no problem there. But unless you got some different stats then does it seem like they are our greatest threat?

I dont doubt they have intel showing isisin 50 states but how many are serious and not some kids just identifying with them. And like someone mentioned how many get sort of pushed along by the fbi until they arrest them showing us all the plots they foiled. So far we have been lucky ....but once some major attack happens again we are all gonna sit there wondering why all those new laws and sacrificing of rights didn't stop that attack.

There is a clear difference to try attack cartoonists in USA than in France. In France, these covardly murderers did not meet any opposition to kill mercilessly unarmed civilians. In USA, the killers met their end pretty much the moment they tried to commit. It is a clear benefit to have civil society with right to carry arms. Nobody starts to mess around, when the exit back to your creator can stand just next to you.

So, when ISIS now openly informs they are in USA and ready to go afool, it is also a reminder for those who favor OBAMA and leftist propaganda of dropping arms before the enemy. Please line up now to be massacred - or let the arms find their rightful hand, and protect the society.

No real proof of FBI setups you say?

The FBI Goes To Disturbing Lengths To Set Up Potential Terrorists



The once exclusively investigative bureau has morphed into a counterterrorism agency, with field agents tapping into a nationwide network of informants that infiltrate mainly-Muslim communities.

The FBI targets the "disgruntled few" who would participate in a terrorist plot if given the opportunity, according to Aaronson. In many cases, the FBI recruits potential terrorists and provides them with plans, equipment, and weapons — before finally shutting them down and getting credit for thwarting another attack.

Numbers are meaningless as a general rule. Its a matter of who would, if told to do so. Who would, over the killing of one person - is a different story entirely. Who would, because they are crazy and just lost it over a job or a lover you cannot keep an eye on.

Who would when their chosen leaders tell them to is a different story entirely. You can at least keep an eye on the possibles in that corner in order to thwart any real danger.

You cannot really keep an eye on everyone who might go berserk because they lost their job or are angry with their teachers or lost a lover. Nor can you do much about sporadic rioting other than to make certain local police are doing their jobs properly. Which can and should be done..

but you have another segment that you cannot simply ignore because they are only quietly recruiting into extremism right now.. they are recruiting for a reason.
