ISIS VOWS TO 'STRIKE AMERICA AT ITS CENTER'

Obama speaks: 'Diplomatic efforts' crucial

ISIS, in the wake of the devastating terror attacks in Paris that left hundreds dead and injured, turned eyes on America and in a chilling video, vowed to hit right at the heart of U.S. politics and leadership – Washington, D.C.

“We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France’s and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington,” said a man dressed in fatigues and a turban, identified as Al Ghareeb the Algerian, on the video that was put on a site used by ISIS, Reuters reported.

The video opened with footage of the aftermath of the Paris terror. Ostensibly, the reference to the “states that take part in the crusader campaign” is aimed at those nations, including the United States and France, that have joined the air strike effort to root out and kill ISIS.

Reuters said the video couldn’t be immediately verified as ISIS-made. But its feed purports it as coming at the hands of ISIS terrorists from the Iraqi province of Salahuddine, just outside Baghdad.

France has called the attacks in Paris an act of war and has promised to retaliate with strikes over Syria and Iraq against ISIS. Fighter jets from France conducted several bombing attacks over Raqqa, the Syrian city of ISIS stronghold, on Sunday.

The video’s spokesman, Al Ghareeb the Algerian, also vowed more attacks against Europe.

“I say to the European countries that we are coming, coming with booby traps and explosives, coming with explosive belts and [gun] silencers and you will be unable to stop us because today we are much stronger than before,” he said, Reuters reported.

Meanwhile, President Obama from Antalya, Turkey, issued a statement about ISIS and the future of U.S. policy that said basically this: we’ll do more of the same.

In other words, he discounted the idea of a tasking of a massive amount of American ground troops to Iraq and Syria as a “mistake,” and doubled down on current U.S. policy of helping rebel Syria, Iraqi and Kurdish forces with training and ammunition to fight off ISIS themselves.

“The strategy we’re putting forward is the strategy that’s ultimately going to work,” Obama said. “But as I’ve said, it’s going to take time.”

Obama also assured he was meeting regularly with U.S. intelligence and military officials and analyzing “every single threat stream that is presented,” including those targeting airlines and involved airport security reforms.

“This is not conventional warfare,” he said. “We play into the ISIL narrative when we act as if they’re a state … These are killers with fantasies of glory who are very savvy when it comes to social media and are able to infiltrate the minds … of disaffected individuals around the world. … So we have to take the approach of being rigorous on our counter-terrorism efforts.”

“Persecuted: The Global Assault on Christians” provides documented accounts of attacks on Christians worldwide, and it tells of the perseverance and courage of men and women who suffer abuse because of their faith in Jesus Christ

He also called the “diplomatic efforts … so important” in order to bring about an overall peace to the region.

Obama seemed annoyed at a question from a journalist for further explanation of his status quo stance on anti-ISIS policy and answered, with a frustrated tone, that it wouldn’t make military sense to adopt more aggressive moves for “a handful of  people,” a reference to his view that only a small percentage of Muslims choose the terror route.

“You have to ask how these extremist tendencies take root, even though it’s only affecting a small portion of [the Muslim population],” Obama said.

He then spoke of the refugee crisis and said it’s important for the world to not close doors on these victims.

“People who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism, most vulnerable as a consequence of civil war and strife,” he said. “They are parents, they are children, they are orphans, and it is very important that we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism.”

Examine this issue more closely, with “Muslim Brotherhood,” “Everlasting Hatred,” and “Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist.”

And some final thoughts about his political and policy critics: “When I hear folks say, well maybe we should just admit the Christians and not the Muslims [into our country] … that’s shameful. That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests … We don’t discriminate against people because of their faiths.”

Obama also scoffed the point that “somehow Christians and Muslims are at war,” and instead called for the recognition of “universal values” of all faiths.

Obama called, too, on the Muslim community to press against radicalization – but cautioned against calling ISIS a problem of the Islam belief.

“Muslims around the world … have to ask very serious questions about how did these extremist ideologies take root,” he said. “Even if it’s only affecting a very small fraction of the population, it is real, and it is dangerous. I also think the Muslim community has to think about how we make sure that children are not been infected with this twisted notion that somehow they can kill innocent people and that that is justified by religion. And in some degree that has to come from within the Muslim community itself. I think there have been times when there has not been enough pushback against extremism.”

My comments: Obama ignores the fact that the Koran is a Radical Book calling for Islamic Domination of the World by Force and Embraced by most Muslims.
