Default A new front reopens against 100 Americans at home

http://www.barenakedislam.com/2015/03/21/islamic-state-isis-hackers-call-for-jihad-against-individual-american-military-personnel/Considering the 9/11 WTC attack, the possible downing of TWA 800 and the attack of the USS Vincennes Commander's wife in San Diego after the mistaken attack on an Iranian Air liner in the Persian Gulf war, http://articles.latimes.com/1989-03-11/news/mn-792_1_pipe-bomb this is no idle threat. The Islamic 'blood feud' vengeance mentality and culture with jihadist-martyr ethos make this a level red threat. No IMHO about it.

Is that passage from the Quaran speaking about spiders or something?

It's kinda hard to tell, seeing as it's been taken out of context.

It's a possible slight mistranslation! "And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah(disbelief) is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.".

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm "The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). The use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim translators is thus disingenuous (the actual Muslim words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The actual Arabic comes from "fitna" which can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. Taken as a whole, the context makes clear that violence is being authorized until "religion is for Allah" - ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief. Bottom line: the American Constitution says I have a right to 'disbelive' anything I wish with regard to religion. Their radical Jihad view directly opposes my rights and they are now apparently willing to attack me in my own land and expel me! and have done so previously...There is no doubt in my mind they would put me in an orange jump suit and carve my disbelieving head off if given the opportunity. Peaceful resolution and political compromise are not on their agenda; there are no rules and and there is no surrender. We believe as they theocratically dictate or we are eliminated; to quote Churchill: "Hunt to destruction" is the name of the game now.

I was hoping this was real. It saves me the trouble of flying over there to kill them. Now they'll come to me! It's almost like getting a pizza delivered!

Frankly I think it would be better if they stopped being stupid, so we didn't g've to kill them.

But sadly, that's unlikely.
