Know Thy Enemy

Is ISIS a threat to America? Most Americans feel that all the ISIS activity is in a distant, far away place and has nothing to do with the avarage American going to the store, or filling the car with gas, maybe taking the kids to school, ...well what if your wrong !!!  ...ISIS operatives are likely already inside America, but nobody knows how many, where, or in what capacity. - our border is so porous, and they could easily come across the southern border as thousands of people do every day,. “And they could have Western passports from a country which requires no visa. My guess is there are ISIS fighters in the country doing advance scouting, studying all the preliminary things a professional terror attack takes into account, because a professional terrorist attack takes months to set up.”ISIS is an offshoot of Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). As an October 2014 Congressional Research Service report explained, “The Islamic State’s ideological and organizational roots lie in the forces built and led by the late Abu Musab al Zarqawi in Iraq from 2002 through 2006—Tawhid wal Jihad (Monotheism and Jihad) and Al Qaeda in the Land of the Two Rivers (aka Al Qaeda in Iraq, or AQ-I). Following Zarqawi’s death at the hands of U.S. forces in June 2006, AQ-I leaders repackaged the group as a coalition known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI).” In April 2013, having expanded its operations into Syria the year before, the group renamed itself ISIS.
