FBI director says Islamic State influence growing in U.S.
Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY 5:42 p.m. EDT May 7, 2015

WASHINGTON — In a dramatic assessment of the domestic threat posed by the Islamic State, FBI Director James Comey said Thursday there are "hundreds, maybe thousands" of people across the country who are receiving recruitment overtures from the terrorist group or directives to attack the U.S.

Comey said the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, is leveraging social media in unprecedented ways through Twitter and other platforms, directing messages to the smartphones of "disturbed people'' who could be pushed to launch assaults on U.S. targets.

"It's like the devil sitting on their shoulders, saying 'kill, kill, kill,''' Comey said in a meeting with reporters.

The FBI director's comments come in the midst of a federal investigation into a foiled attack in Garland, Texas, involving two ISIL sympathizers, one of whom, Elton Simpson, was long known to federal authorities.

Wait a minute................ I thought this was only the JV, and no big deal, and that they would never, EVER, come here.

Did I get that wrong??   :pondering:

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

You didn't get anything wrong but the guy who said that sure did!

They probably got the idea FROM the TV. What they are doing was on a recent episode of Madame Secretary on CBS.

Nothing short of removing the Mullah regime in Iran from power will solve the problem. Period! End of sentence.

So we've been at war with the wrong country if we want to stop ISIS?

Just the actual period was enough to signify the end of the sentence.
