    Heads up Rome and Italy. Libya says its only a matter of time for you. Now Daesh has entrenched itself in Libya and is looking to make the some headlines. What say ye?



    Even as foreign powers step up pressure against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, the militant group has expanded in Libya and established a new base close to Europe where it can generate oil revenue and plot terror attacks.

    Since announcing its presence in February in Sirte, the city on Libya’s Mediterranean coast has become the first that the militant group governs outside of Syria and Iraq. Its presence there has grown over the past year from 200 eager fighters to a roughly 5,000-strong contingent which includes administrators and financiers, according to estimates by Libyan intelligence officials, residents and activists in the area.

    “They have made their intentions clear,” said Ismail Shoukry, head of military intelligence for the region that includes Sirte. “They want to take their fight to Rome.”.....snip~

    Did this happened before or after Obama claimed that ISIS has been contained ?

    Obama refers to ISIS or is it ISIL or DAIISH or Daesh as JV.
    And the Obama administration is in the Pop Warner league.

    Yeah the Peep still calls them ISIL. Still says they are not Islamic.

    Seems his crash course under Lugar's tutelage didn't filter thru with that grey Dense matter he carries.

    They aren't Islamic. Most are secular or illiterate of their religion.. They drink, drug, rape, murder, steal, don't go to mosque, don't pray.

    Do they have courts based on Sharia Law? Are they running their territory with the Use of Islam? Do they have Clerics who cite the Koran?

    Just because they are heretics of that religion, does not mean they aren't apart of it.

    I think I'm just going to call them "IS." But "Daesh" maybe islamically correct. :smile:

    Check your inbox. Sending you a link to the Nov. 20, 2015 Congressional Research Service report The Islamic State — Frequently Asked Questions.

    Nothing new that you don't already know but what did they leave out ?

    Did you noticed what the Congressional Research Service report didn't mention ?
    Who armed ISIS and no where did they mention climate change that the current Obama administration is now blaming for creating ISIS.

    I suppose the report was completed before Obama decided to blame climate change.

    What ever happened to blaming G.W. Bush for everything ?

    Yeah it didn't say who armed or funded.

    But we do know the French made out on arms sales to Libya.
