ISIS promising more horrific attacks in wake of Paris massacre

2015-11-17T13:04:07-05:00

Islamic State warned Monday that more attacks are to come in countries taking part in air strikes against Syria.

The French government almost immediately started air strikes against ISIS strongholds in Iraq and Syria following the “act of war” perpetrated on its country.

ISIS is threatening to do more of the same in busy cities across Europe and elsewhere – including Washington DC.

On Sunday, French fighter jets launched their biggest raids in Syria to date targeting the city of Raqqa. Officials say the operation was carried out in coordination with U.S. forces.

The aftermath of Friday’s deadly Paris attacks is shown in recently released footage purportedly by Islamic State. The news coverage of the suicide bombings and shootings at some of the city’s most popular Friday night hotspots is followed by a message to countries involved in what ISIS called the “crusader campaign.”

A man identified as ‘Al Ghareeb the Algerian’, delivered the following message: “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.”

While the authenticity of the video was not immediately verified- it’s allegedly the work of IS fighters located in an Iraqi province, north of Baghdad. According to Reuters, another man identified in the video as ‘Al Karrar the Iraqi’ addresses French President Hollande directly: “We have decided to negotiate with you in the trenches and not in the hotels.”

The first man in the video goes on to say: “… we are 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.”

AQI's barbaric treatment of the Sunnis in Anbar Province led them to work with the coalition they hated less than they hated AQI - and as a result AQI was destroyed and swept from the area. Before AQI came to "help" the Sunnis fight the "Crusaders", the coalition forces were fought at every turn such that Anbar was a no-go zone for Coalition Forces, without a fight.

Since being re-constituted as ISIS, these people have been just as barbaric as they had been in Anbar, but there was no competent force present to counter them.

Now ISIS has attacked Europe, and the French are actually willing to fight for the moment. A few more attacks like Paris may cause the Europeans to have a "European Awakening" which will cause them to band together to wipe ISIS out.

I shudder to think of what it will take to have an "Obama Awakening" in this country.

Sp4 Byron Skinner, As of the time I write this there has been no connection of the Islamic State to the November 13th. Events in France. The operation appears to be all local Europeans involved. The Syrian passport found was declared a fake with in hours by the CIA who also holds the same opinion on an Islamic State involvement. In regards to the video of yesterday. its a warning but I doubt it is the product of The Islamic State. The Islamic State strikes first the takes credit later. It is a sign that the real danger is not from abroad but from with in the United States. We have far to many military style fire arms in the hands of idiots, and yes some have also served in the military which make them more dangerous, the conversion to a three position selector on an AR is well with in the technological ability of a middle school student.

Well if we are allowing them to just simply waltz into our country then what do we expect to happen here?? It is only a matter of time before we start to experience attacks here on US soil, look out big cities (New York, Chicago) or big places (Mall of America, Six Flags).

Do not be surprised by the "Shock and Awe" that we will endure here.
