“The terror group is not believed to have a significant presence in the DRC…”
Yet the Islamic State was able to get the US Embassy in the DRC closed for a week. It has lost most of its territory in Iraq and Syria, but many of its jihadis have dispersed around the world. The Islamic State threat is far from over.
“ISIS threat shutters US embassy in Democratic Republic of the Congo for more than a week,” by Ryan Browne and Jennifer Hansler, CNN, December 3, 2018:
(CNN)The US embassy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was closed after the US received intelligence that an ISIS-linked group could carry out attacks against US interests there, two US officials tell CNN.
The terror group is not believed to have a significant presence in the DRC and officials say it is believed that the operatives may have been planning to enter the DRC from outside the country.
The embassy had been closed since it received “credible and specific information of a possible terrorist threat against US Government facilities in Kinshasa” on November 24.
The embassy is expected to re-open to the public on Tuesday, according to a statement by the embassy….

As disturbing as those ISIS threats against the US embassy, in the Congo, might be to some people it’s still important to maintain an balance view on the threats and dangers of ISIS . For example , on the date of 9/25/ 18 President Trump during a speech declared “ISIS has been driven out of Iraq and Syria.” This is both a truth and a triumph .so far so good. This is actually very good.
Likewise, the scholar and author, Robert Spencer, in his latest book which has the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS . For on page it reads “When Donald Trump replaced Barack as president of the United States, Iraqi forces and other began rolling up the Islamic State strongholds, such that within a year of the beginning of the Trump Presidency, the Islamic State had lost nine-eight of its territory.”
As good as the collapse of that Islamic “state” is we must not remember that the source and inspiration for and of that vicious and murderous jihad entity, ISIS, has not collapsed .Therefore we should not let our guard down regarding such heinous dangers. The source and inspiration is Islam.
With this source of inspiration of ISIS in mind and likewise the very foundation ISIS is Islam and the entire foundation of Islam is the Quran ,this leads to very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Even though the above essay was posted before, it should now be added that the last statement of the above that “the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.” To put this in a Biblical way. As in from the Bible, it may be truly explained that the Quran is a deceptive work of “the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 14:12.. [N.I.V.]

spot on, Walter. were our government being run by rational people, there would be no problem with islam, and it would be safe to walk around *any* neighborhood wearing a t-shirt with a cartoon of muhammed with the words “muhammed sucks!” under it (except for upper-class leftist neighborhoods, of course, where one would be beaten to death). sadly, the ears of the functionaries of our government are being tickled by what they *want* to hear, and they are not bothered by reality – mostly because other people have to die because of their treason, not them.

whether or not IS is a threat, *islam* is a threat. there are enough pious muslims around the planet to make it dangerous to be american *anywhere*. it should be as safe to mock islam as it is to mock christianity or buddhism within our own borders, but the liars of the left have allowed in thousands of actual killers (pious muslims), and many millions more potential killers (potential, because any one of the “moderates” may study the quran and sunnah and become pious at any moment, without warning). the idiot left may insult me for being “islamophobic,” but i can live through that; it’s the assassination attempts by pious muslims that keep me hidden in the shadows, because i cannot afford to pay a security detail for 24/7/365 protection, and the worthless government refuses to do anything to protect me (investigating my *murder* doesn’t help *me*; i need *protection*, i’m paying taxes to get it, and i’m *NOT* getting it).
no doubt the liars at communist notnews network believe that once IS is defeated, the threat is over. i encourage them to go to any of the 57 nations of the OIC and draw a picture of muhammed.
