Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

FBI bulletin warns Islamic State plotting attacks on military community in U.S.

Dec 1, 2014 12:55 pm By Robert Spencer

“ABC’s Brian Ross said that some members of the U.S. Special Forces ‘already have deactivated Facebook and other social media accounts’ in light of the increased threat.” In other words, the response is not to call upon military personnel to be aware, prepared and resolute, but to curtail their activities in fear of the jihadis. Unconscionable.

“FBI Bulletin Warns of Islamic State Terrorist Attacks Targeting Homeland Military Community,” by Sam Taylor, Washington Free Beacon, December 1, 2014:

The FBI issued a strong warning to U.S. military personnel Sunday, urging current and former members of the military to review their social media accounts and exercise “operational security” online to avoid tracking by the Islamic State.

ABC reported that the intelligence bulletin, issued by the FBI and DHS overnight, recommended “current and former members of the military review their online social media accounts for any information that might serve to attract the attention of ISIL and its supporters.”

ABC’s Brian Ross said that some members of the U.S. Special Forces “already have deactivated Facebook and other social media accounts” in light of the increased threat….

On Sunday, an Egyptian IS affiliate claimed responsibility for the death of American petroleum expert William Henderson, 58, who was killed in an alleged carjacking in August.

    Yes. Let’s lose our freedom to speak and communicate in order not to get killed by Jihadists. M

    Why be so half-assed about it? Nobody in the military community would be hurt if there just weren’t a military community. If anything happens to anybody, the fault is all our own for having a military. Right? By the way, how did I end up here in Bizzaro World?

    This is new and kind of interesting. Soft targets, or targets that are usually alert but are attacked when their guard is momentarily down are the traditional meat and drink for violent jihad.

    I would bet the farm that a trained ‘special forces’ soldier tipped off about jihad attack will be hyper-ready when the time comes. Expect wild eyed clowns blown away on a regular basis. I think that special forces closing down social media pages is just the beginnings of battening down the hatches and preparing for the coming storm.

    These clowns are biting off more than they can chew!

      Yeah.

      Sting ops, sting ops, sting ops.

      Why can’t soldiers – both serving and veterans, and that might include a lot of tough-as-nails old-soldier Vietnam vets who’d like to volunteer – be given the option of *staying out there* in the open, in cyberspace; but doing so quite deliberately in *full awareness* that they may become a target of jihadis.

      *Bait*. Or…bug zapper.

      Ambush the would-be ambushers.

      You’ve watched too many 80’s commando movies. Most soldiers on homeland bases are NOT allowed to carry guns. Only guards and military police have guns, everyone else is COMPLETELY defenseless. How do you think Nidal Hassan was able to kill so many trained soldiers so easily? That military guard in Canada who was killed also had an UNLOADED weapon. The soldiers that were run over, were UNARMED. Even in states where citizens can open carry, military personnel can not (at least not on base, and usually not in uniform off base.) Despite your movie fantasy world, the person WITHOUT a gun LOSES the fight 99% of the time.

      Secondly, you underestimate the cowardly disgusting nature of Jihadists. You can be the greatest Navy Seal with the best weapons, but that won’t protect your WIFE and CHILDREN when you are on the other side of the earth.

      Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have rotted your brain.

    The truth is most Muslims see themselves as part of a larger Islamic community (Ummah) before any other political national affiliation. In fact it’s an integral and seditious aspect of the socio-political fabric of Islam, so due to immigration and Islamic prostelatizing the Calipahte has many soldiers to call upon within our borders.

    In our pathetic Obama End Times, the mantra for dealing with Jihad is:

    Keep Calm and Carry On Hiding.

      Or is it:

      Keep Calm and Carry On Denying.

        I would prefer,

        Keep Calm and Concealed Carry

        (since I can)

    The majority of comments on the MSM version of stories like this are all about how well armed individual Americans are and how they will kick butt when Muslims come at them. They don’t seem to realize that 1) Vicious surprise attacks are hard to defend against, and 2) By the time we are fighting in the streets it will be too late.

    The time is now to de-legitimize the many Islamic pressure groups that have set up shop here, monitor all Mosque activities, stop immigration and actively encourage all Sharia lovers to return to the paradise from whence they came. Oh, and fire every Muslim Brotherhood member who has been given a place in our government, including the sympathizer-in-chief.

      Dec 1, 2014 at 2:23 pm

      Yeah, their 300 guns at home, and the one under their shirt, is really going to help them when the bomb in the non-descript white van goes off beside them. Idiots. This retarded mentality hasn’t exactly stopped all the deadly terror attacks on US soil since the Obama administration came to power, has it? I am so tired of reading those posts by peanut brain gun fetishists.

      • Arthur says

        Dec 1, 2014 at 8:35 pm

        Don’t think I can fully agree with you there, Don, my friend.

        We’ve already got the laws controlling explosives, etc. I don’t see a proposal from you on how to defend against the white van scenario with or without gun rights.

        On the other hand, we’ve got enough smartphone videos of crowds watching armed jiahdis hack defenseless people to pieces on city streets to know the police aren’t everywhere at once. The killers of Lee Rigby were shot by police, the Canadian jihadi was shot dead by Kevin Vickers with a handgun, the Oklahoma jihadist was shot by police, etc. It seems to me, unarmed people, including unarmed police, are little more than observers when this violence breaks out. Observers who cannot protect good people or stop killers. Armed citizens clearly have a measure of self-protection that unarmed citizens do not. It is just common sense.

      every person should get a conceal carry license to protect themselves any place, any time.

      islam is invasive like a snake with millions of tentacles; islam MUST be purged from our country

      their ONLY objective is to take over our country and they don’t care how long it takes

      so the pc stuff has to stop and start fighting back

      sooner than later

    Jihadists don’t do one on one fair fights. They prefer cowardly surprise attacks, random IEDs, and hiding behind masks.

    Who will you shoot at after your city is permanently contaminated by a radioactive dirty bomb?

    This is a war that we cannot win through defensive tactics. We must not wait for the enemy to strike before we start defending ourselves.
    In order to win we must adopt the preemptive strike strategies: FIND THEM and KILL THEM FIRST.

    Only a moron such as you would call the Mayor’s comment incomprehensible. He was as clear as one could be. And no, it was not theory, he was quoting from statistics.
