[Re:’Arizona Teen Gets Eight Years for Terror Plot’]: If he is a legal citizen, that’s treason..the penalty is a bit more severe. If he is illegal, and apprehended out of some uniform, he is a spy..the penalty is a bit more extreme than an 8 year sentence.

Friction: How Radicalization Happens to Them and Us

By Clark McCauley and Sophia Moskalenko

This accessible book identifies 12 mechanisms of political radicalization that can move individuals, groups, and the masses to increased sympathy and support for political violence. Terrorism is an extreme form of radicalization, and the book describes pathways to terrorism to demonstrate the twelve mechanisms at work. Written by two psychologists who are acknowledged radicalization experts and consultants to the Department of Homeland Security, Friction draws heavily on case histories. The case material is wide-ranging – drawn from Russia in the late 1800s, the U.S. in the 1970s and the radical Islam encouraged by the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. Taken together, the 12 mechanisms show how unexceptional people are moved to exceptional violence in the conflict between states and non-state challengers. Captivating, and with psychological overtones, this timely book covers one of the most pressing issues of our time.

[Re:’ISIS’ Big Defeat: The Loss of Dabiq’]: I agree that the defeat at Dabiq has caused ISIS to lose credibility. But whoever inherits their mantle will easily be able to spin this battle as being lost simply because it was not the one prophecied. The hadith say that 80 flags will be raised against the mujahedeen; there were perhaps only 15 or so groups opposing them. Also the army of ‘Rome’ is supposed to land in Dabiq; the West only provided air support.

[Re:’Survey: Almost 50% of Americans Say No to Mosques Near Them’]: Federal law, which interestingly was passed UNAMINOUSLY by congress, says that cities and counties cannot deny a building permit for a church, temple or mosque anywhere the congregation wants to build it. What people have to say in opposition means nothing. They can make noise but a mosque cannot be denied. This came about, by the way, because some Christian churches were denied building where they wanted to and sued. The churches won. Congress passed the Religious Freedom law but the law can’t treat churches any different from temples or mosques or any other religious building.

Banned: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad

By First Presidential Debate: How to Fight Radical Islam?

While militant jihad is exploding throughout the Islamic world, Westerners are increasingly subjected to gravely perilous circumstances. Americans, Israelis and Europeans are in their direct crosshairs. Jihadists congregate on social media, “friend” like-minded Islamists and plot global jihad. With over 1.6 billion users worldwide, Facebook is the world’s largest social media site. With that size comes great power–the power to lift up and the power to destroy. CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to stifle negative stories of “migrants” and assured Muslims he would make his site a welcoming place for them. Banned explains how social media in general and Facebook in particular seems to operate with a double standard that ultimately enables militant Islamic jihad. Politicians talk about companies being too big to fail, but is Facebook so big that it can freely operate as a government unto itself?

The Battle for British Islam: Reclaiming Muslim Identity from Extremism

By Sara Khan

Across Britain, Muslims are caught in a battle over the very nature of their faith. And extremists appear to be gaining the upper hand. Sara Khan has spent the past decade campaigning for tolerance and equal rights within Muslim communities, and is now engaged in a new struggle for understanding the urgent need to counter Islamist-inspired extremism. In this timely and courageous book, Khan shows how previously antagonistic groups of fundamentalist Muslims have joined forces, creating pressures that British society has never before encountered. What is more, identity politics and the attitudes of both the far Right and ultra-Left have combined to give the Islamists ever-increasing power to spread their message. Unafraid to tackle some of the pressing issues of our time, Khan addresses the question of how to break the cycle of extremism without alienating British Muslims. She calls for all Britons to reject divisive ideologies and introduces us to those individuals who are striving to build a safer future.

Defeating Jihad: The Winnable War

By Sebastian Gorka

Since September 11, 2001, America has been at war. And that’s about all anyone can say with certainty about a conflict that has cost 7,000 American lives and almost $2 trillion. As long as the most basic strategic questions—Who is the enemy? Why are we fighting?—remain unanswered, victory is impossible. Yet this war is eminently winnable if we remove our ideological blinders, accurately name our enemy and draw up a strategy to defeat him. So says Dr. Sebastian Gorka, one of the most experienced and sought-after authorities on counterterrorism. Our enemy is not “terror” or “violent extremism.” Our enemy is the global jihadi movement, a modern totalitarian ideology rooted in the doctrines and martial history of Islam. Taking his cue from the formerly top-secret analyses that shaped the U.S. response to the communist threat, Dr. Gorka has produced a compelling profile of the jihadi movement—its mind and motivation—and a plan to defeat it.

The ISIS Hostage: One Man’s True Story of 13 Months in Captivity

By Puk Damsgård

In May 2013, freelance photographer Daniel Rye was captured in Syria and held prisoner by Islamic State for thirteen months, along with eighteen other hostages. The ISIS Hostage tells the dramatic and heart-breaking story of Daniel’s ordeal and details the misery inflicted upon him by the British guards, which included Jihadi John. This tense and riveting account also follows Daniel’s family and the nerve-wracking negotiations with his kidnappers. It traces their horrifying journey through impossible dilemmas and offers a rare glimpse into the secret world of the investigation launched to locate and free not only Daniel, but also the American journalist and fellow hostage James Foley. Written with Daniel’s full cooperation and based on interviews with former fellow prisoners, jihadists and key figures who worked behind the scenes to secure his release, The ISIS Hostage reveals for the first time the torment suffered by the captives and tells a moving and terrifying story of friendship, torture and survival.

None of the Islamic countries recognize dual nationality. We have to stand up for the freedoms we value against oppression. If we don’t we are finished!!

The New Arab Wars: Uprisings and Anarchy in the Middle East

By Mark Lynch

Less than two years after the hope-filled Arab uprisings, the popular movement had morphed into a dystopia of resurgent dictators, failed states and civil wars. Amidst the chaos, a virulently militant group declared an Islamic State, seizing vast territories and inspiring terrorism across the globe. What happened? The New Arab Wars is a profound illumination of the causes of this nightmare. It details the costs of the poor choices made by regional actors, delivers a scathing analysis of Western misreadings of the conflict and condemns international interference that has stoked the violence. Informed by commentators and analysts from the Arab world, Marc Lynch shows that the region’s upheavals have only just begun—and that the hopes of Arab regimes and Western policy makers to retreat to old habits of authoritarian stability are doomed to fail.

‘Iran Supporting More than 100 Shiite Terror Groups’

Posted by The Clarion Project, Wed, June 17, 2015

URL of the Original Posting Site: http://www.clarionproject.org/news/iran-supporting-more-100-shiite-terror-groups-report#

A recent report in Al Hayat, one of the largest and most-respected pan-Arab dailies, charges that Iran is supporting more than 100 Shiite extremist organizations and militias in Syria and Iraq. The newspaper, which is published in London and funded by Saudi Arabia, says the crimes of these groups are no less horrific than those of the Islamic State.

In Iraq, the Iranian-funded armed militias comprised of Persians have capabilities far beyond those of the Iraqi security forces. The paper quotes academics who commented that the purpose of these militias is to target the Arabs in Iraq, both Sunni and Shiite. In the Arab world, there is anger that the international media is ignoring the atrocities being committed by these militias. Hussein Al Muayid, an Iraqi religious scholar and advisor to the general secretary of the Muslim World League, pointedly questioned why the media as well as political figures focus only on the activities of the terror activities of Sunni organizations.

Muayid claims such selective reporting serves to makes an implicit statement that the Sunni world is responsible for all the terror in the world.

The original Arabic item in the highly-regarded Al Hayat newspaper.

In addition, while governments, experts and clerics issuing fatwas are refusing to give any aid to these Sunni terror organizations, Muayid says Shiite militias, which perpetrate the most horrific acts, enjoy the support of the Iranian ayatollahs, the highest religious authorities in Iran, and the financial and military support of the Islamic republic.

Western researchers and Arab analysts believe that Iran is supporting more than 50 militias in Iraq and another 50 in Syria whose atrocities are not less than those of the Islamic State.

The following is a list of most of the Shiite militias that are loyal to Iran and are active in Iraq:

1. Gangs of the People of the Truth

2. Companies of the Churasani Pioneer

3. Battalions of the Lord of the Martyrs

4. Noble Movement of Hezbollah

16. Brigade of Zu Elfakar

17. Brigade of the Guarantors of Zainab

A Dark Vision: ISIS War Front on American Soil?

BarbWire on 19 May, 2015 By Erick Stakelbeck

isis_fighters

U.S.-led airstrikes may have slowed ISIS’s advance in the Middle East, but the brutal terrorist movement continues to attract followers around the world. ISIS has made no secret of its desire to attack America and it’s putting foot soldiers in place to make that dark vision a reality.

After two ISIS supporters attempted to storm a Mohammed cartoon drawing contest and murder everyone inside earlier this month in Garland, Texas, the Islamic State was quick to claim responsibility for what’s been called the first ISIS attack on American soil. The attackers, both American citizens, were killed by a police officer before they had a chance to carry out their plan. But the incident in Texas may have been a sign of things to come.

ISIS in Every State

From Pennyslvania to Illinois to Ohio to Minnesota to Kansas, federal authorities have arrested close to a dozen ISIS supporters in recent weeks. “We’re very definitely in a new environment because of ISIL’s effective use of social media, the Internet, which has the ability to reach into the homeland and possibly inspire others…” Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said. “Because of the use of the Internet, we could have little or no notice in advance of an independent actor attempting to strike,” he explained.

In the wake of the Texas attack, FBI Director James Comey said that there are potentially “thousands” of American citizens that now follow ISIS online. Comey has also said that the FBI is now conducting investigations into ISIS-related activity in all 50 U.S. states. In addition, U.S. authorities say some 180 U.S. citizens have traveled overseas to join ISIS—and at least 40 of them have already returned.

“What they say is that their first obligation is to go to the caliphate,” explained Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for The Clarion Project. “But what they say is that, if they’re unable to do that, if they feel they’ll be arrested at the airport, that’s when they carry out an attack here in the United States.”

Orders to Attack

Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud was one who made it to Syria. The Columbus, Ohio, resident trained with an Islamic terror group and then returned to the United States with orders to attack the homeland. He was arrested before he had the chance. Mohamud had been on U.S. authorities’ radar before he left for Syria.

That’s why terrorism expert Patrick Poole said Mohamud should have never made it that far.

“They allow him to apply for a passport; they allow him to travel to Turkey,” Poole told CBN News. “From there he goes into Syria, trains, comes back, and he’s wandering the streets of Columbus for eight months.”

Like a growing number of American ISIS recruits, Mohamud was of Somali descent. Most hail from the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul—an area with the largest Somali-Muslim population in North America. “We’ve got to revisit these humanitarian visas,” former Pentagon spokesman J.D. Gordon, executive director of Protect America Today, said. “We’ve got so many people here from places like Somalia with major Islamic terror problems and we keep letting them into the country. Why are we doing that?”

America’s Dangerous Future

Mauro told CBN News that’s one way the United States is heading down a dangerous path.

“You have Sharia patrols in places like the U.K.,” Mauro said. “And that’s not what we’re facing here in the United States, so it’s hard for us to believe that that’s where we’re headed. But if you want to look at the future of the United States, you have to look at Europe.”

The goal of ISIS and its growing network of followers in the West is to turn American and European cities into guerilla war zones—with regular attacks similar to those seen recently in Ottawa, Paris, Sydney and Texas. Gordon told CBN News that to defeat this threat, the Obama administration must first acknowledge that it exists. “The White House can’t even name radical Islam as the enemy,” Gordon said. “Radical Islam is trying to wipe us out, and the White House—Barack Obama—won’t even mention it.”

Ignoring the threat won’t make it go away. ISIS recently boasted that it has “71 trained soldiers in 15 different U.S. states”—and promised that the attack in Texas was only the beginning.
