Default North Carolina man charged with trying to aid Islamic State: Justice Dept

Quote:
A North Carolina man was arrested Thursday on a charge of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State militant group by attempting to recruit people to carry out an attack in the United States, the Justice Department said.

Erick Jamal Hendricks, 35, of Charlotte, contacted another man online in the spring of 2015, who was later arrested after attempting to purchase an AK-47 from an undercover officer, according to a court complaint.

Hendricks told another unnamed person his goal was to create a sleeper cell to be trained to carry out attacks in the United States.

The complaint alleges that Hendricks said his potential targets were military members, and a woman who had organized a Prophet Mohammed cartoon-drawing contest in Garland, Texas.

No surprise here, this happens in other parts of the western world daily in terrorist cells or other factions.

You said that years ago, I said that years ago, the usual suspects called us islamophobic right wingers (lol) and.... now I wonder how many of them, at least in secret, realize that these predictions had nothing to do with fear mongering or the usual right wing propaganda, but with logic and simple demographics.

Whatever, it is too late now anyways.
You can't stop what's going on, even if we would stop the intake, those who are here breed like crazy, while we don't.
The question isn't if this all will happen, only when.
I hope other countries don't make the same mistakes...

Germany and Europe survived WW2, only to go be destroyed by its own blind political correctness, infiltrated by an ideology that has but one goal. Conquer.

Nothing can convince the sense of ideological supremacism. You could as well try to argue with a Creationist. And if the matter blows up in their face - it s not their fault, it never was and never will be, because its always the others' fault of not having believed in the ideological dogma strong enough.

Debt crisis? Make more debts! Paper money crisis? Lets inflate money volumes! EU crisis? More EU! People do not trust it? Force them! Mass migration crisis? Lets have more migrants in! Overstretched lines in whatever a conflict, matter, issue? Lets expand some more! Appeasing Erdoghan does not work? Appease him! Talks with Russia are in vain? Lets talk about it! Socialist regimes in the past all collapsed or blew up in civil wars? Install another one! And on and on and on it goes.

I don't always agree with you, but this post is spot on, unfortunately.

By the way, I wasn't referring to European countries when I meant other countries.
The EU is doomed for a while now, no point to still hope for some miracle.

Default Obama: Islamic State likely to continue to threaten US

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Islamic State group will probably continue to be a threat to the U.S. even after it is ousted from key strongholds in Iraq and Syria, President Barack Obama said Thursday, warning that lone-wolf believers will still be inspired to launch attacks that are harder to detect and prevent.
Well,IS is a real treat to deal with,and it gone take time to get rid of.

Note: President Barack Obama answers a question during a news conference after attending a National Security Council Meeting on efforts to counter the Islamic State, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, at the Pentagon in Washington.

This 'holy' war has been around for 2000 years.

Muslims against Christians.

IS isn't going anywhere.

Nor is this war.

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Much more to come.

Stay tuned.

German police analysis proves that the Muslim terrorists from Ansbach and Würzburg got coached, counceled, advised and supported by chat partners residing in Saudi Arabia. The German police explicitly described it as "coaching" and "counceling".

I still wonder why the US just of all targeted Iraq and Afghanistan, after 9/11. Needed another scapegoat, because of too good relations with the Saudis?

Iraq? Three-letter word beginning with 'O' had a lot to do with it (didn't Dubya say as much at least once?). As for Afghanistan, they clearly had to go for Bin Laden once it became clear that they couldn't pin it all on the Iraqis, and doing a deal with the Taliban to get him handed over would probably have led to too many questions about past links.

Pretty much spot on. Saudi Arabia is a buffer against Iran in particular and they have oil and they haven't publicly shouted death to the USA. It is known that the Saudi Royal family has been giving in to extremist demands since 1979 which coincidentally is the year relations with Iran went south, the Saudi events in November that year, and the King's response, just aren't mentioned the way the Iranian revolution is still talked about. The Iranians kicked out the US and British oil companies, the Saudis didn't mind foreigners the same way.

In addition: Saddam was also a buffer and supported (a puppet really in the eyes of the US) until he figured he was a big boy and could stay up as long as he wanted. That's when the US dampened their enthusiasm and ultimately removed him.
