Well when you're in the mall and a bunch of ISIS start shooting up the place find a nice safe place behind someone with a gun.

I'll be looking to get out of the line of fire altogether, Maggot. Everybody's line of fire.

The bed & bath might be a good place or kitchen supply place. You could grab a steak knife and jump in a tub.

Asshole. That's no time for a nice Rib-eye and a bubble bath.

I'm grabbing a can of WD-40 and hiding behind the black shower curtain display.

Harder to target someone when you've been blinded by a surprise chemical attack.

Bring matches for a flamethrower in case they gang up on you.

Copied from another thread; fits better here.

Well, Obama got it wrong when it comes to Yemen, at least for more than a very short time.

He said back when the US was getting re-involved in Iraq:

"This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years."

One could argue that he was right for a while, though I think it was more the US drones than Yemeni forces that took out the most al-Qaeda terrorists. Or, that the Houthis in Yemen aren't terrorists, and al-Qaeda's terrorist network has indeed been weakened there. Or, that Yemen's been unstable for so long and it's good that now an ME coalition is taking military action, not the U.S.

I think there's some truth in all of those points, personally. But, there's no solid argument, in my opinion, that Obama's statement about Yemen being a model for counter-terrorism strategy was not premature and ill-advised, at best.

Iran and Iraq united might be a good thing for both of them and for the U.S. Iran is stronger. Iraq and Iran are the only two major Shiite players, surrounded by Sunni-dominated countries (Israel excepted). I'd rather see Iraq join Iran than be taken by the Sunni Islamic State unless the US occupies it. IS wants Syria too -- Syria's diverse religiously, but way more Sunni than Shiite.

Saddam was Sunni running a predominately Shiite country under secular (non-religious) laws. Forcing him out was a mistake, IMO.

Assad is Shiite (Alawite) running a predominately Sunni country under secular laws. The fact that he is Shiite is one of several reasons he has Iran's support, I imagine.

I don't think you can look at foreign policy in the Middle East without considering the Shia/Sunni make up and relationships between those countries in that context.

Let's say the whole region became Sunni-led under Sharia Law. For those of you who believe that all Muslims view non-Muslims as the enemy, where do you think the fundamentalists would turn their geographical take-over attention if they stopped fighting between and amongst themselves? Maybe the Middle East would be less volatile and more content as a region. Or, maybe they'd wanna branch out and out...

YEMEN

The Daily Mail has its journalistic and content weaknesses, but they do a really good job with photos and graphic depictions, in my opinion.

This image published there today sums up well what's going down right now in Yemen and with the Gulf Coalition.

The Terrorists Next Door

Good to see these western terrorists being stopped before they have a chance to execute their plans at home.



^ Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud, 23, of Columbus, Ohio left the United States in April 2014 for the purpose of training and fighting with terrorists in Syria, according to the Justice Department. He had become a naturalized citizen only two months earlier (he came to the US from Somalia as a toddler).

Once in Syria, terrorists trained him in shooting weapons, breaking into houses, using explosives and engaging in hand-to-hand combat, charging documents allege. A radical cleric then instructed him to return to the United States and commit an act of terrorism, the documents say.

Mohamud returned to the United States in June 2014 with a plan to attack a military facility or a U.S. prison, according to the charging documents. “Mohamud talked about doing something big in the United States,” the documents say. “He wanted to go to a military base in Texas and kill three or four American soldiers execution style.”

When Mohamud left for Syria, his brother was already there fighting with terrorists, but his brother has since been killed, according to the Justice Department.

Mohamud was initially arrested in February on state charges. A federal grand jury has now indicted him for attempting to provide and providing material support to terrorists, one count of attempting to provide and providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, and one count of making false statements to the FBI. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

In the month of April alone, four other American citizens have been charged with similar offenses (two of them female): Joshua Ray Van Haften, Noelle Velentzas, Asia Siddiqui, and John T. Booker.

I'm not liking the idea that a jar of radioactive material was stolen in Tabasco Mexico, it may take a few days to get here though if that's the way its going. Terrorists the Bain of modern society a necessary evil?

Hmmm...It will probably turn up somewhere.
But, just in case, I'm gonna buy an extra roll of foil.

IS Executes Ethiopian Christians in Libya



Islamic State militants in Libya shot and beheaded groups of captive Ethiopian Christians, a video purportedly from the extremists showed Sunday. The attack widens the circle of nations affected by the group's atrocities while showing its growth beyond a self-declared "caliphate" in Syria and Iraq.

The release of the 29-minute video comes a day after Afghanistan's president blamed the extremists for a suicide attack in his country that killed at least 35 people — and underscores the chaos gripping Libya after its 2011 civil war and the killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Ethiopia long has drawn the anger of Islamic extremists over its military's attacks on neighboring Somalia, whose population is almost entirely Muslim. While the militant in the video at one point said "Muslim blood that was shed under the hands of your religion is not cheap."

I think they are growing bigger & stronger by the day.

They are not only destroying lives they are destroying places of significant history.

I bet that wouldn't work well at a mud truck rally in Texas.

Well, it wasn't a mud truck rally, but two terrorists were in fact killed without taking any lives when they attacked a freedom of speech event in Texas (its detractors call it an anti-Islam event).

The organizers were prepared and had set up tight security; SWAT was stationed behind the building. One law enforcement officer was wounded and none of the the attendees was hurt.

SNIP:
A cartoon contest featuring controversial images of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed turned deadly Sunday night when two men pulled up in a car and opened fire. Police returned fire, killing both men after one wounded a security guard.

None of the approximately 200 people attending the event were hurt.

A federal law enforcement source told CNN's Susan Candiotti that one of the two men was a Phoenix resident who was convicted in 2011 of a terror-related charge. Elton Simpson is thought to have sent a tweet before the attack that read, in part, "May Allah accept us as mujahideen," the source said. It bore the hashtag, #texasattack."

The attack bears similarities to the attacks this year on events in France and Denmark featuring images of Mohammed, which some Muslims believe is blasphemous.

The keynote speaker at the event in Garland was right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who was placed on an al Qaeda hit list. It was organized by the American Freedom Defense Initiative -- considered an anti-Muslim group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.

So... They got in their car, drove all the way to Texas, fired off a couple of shots and died. Cool.

Pretty much, yeah.

These are the dead dipshits -- they lived in Phoenix.



Senior law enforcement sources on Monday named roommates Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi as the men suspected of opening fire on a contest for drawings of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in Texas.

Federal agents were looking into whether the suspects carried out the attack on their own or had ties to international terror groups.

Simpson was known to the FBI and was convicted of lying to federal agents five years ago about his plans to allegedly join a terror group in Africa.

But a judge ruled that the government had only established that Simpson lied about his plans to go to Somalia, and that prosecutors had failed to prove he planned on joining a terror group when he got there.

The two attackers used assault rifles on Sunday night when they opened fire at a contest for drawings of the Prophet Muhammad in Texas, police said. The gunmen hit a school security guard before they were shot and killed by a police officer.

The gunmen got out of their car brandishing their assault rifles. They opened fire on Sunday night at the inaugural Muhammad Art Exhibit, which offered a $10,000 prize for cartoons of the Islamic prophet.

I guess it's easy enough to draw moths to the flame and then extinguish them, as appears to have happened here.

Wonder if that might become a sting strategy to lure domestic terrorists out into the open in the future?

'This is a war. This is war on free speech. What are we going to do? Are we going to surrender to these monsters?'

^ That's Pamela Geller.

She organized the Texas Draw Muhammad event as head of the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

She was also behind the protests to keep a mosque from being erected at Ground Zero, along with the NYC subway and bus advertisements advising people to condemn savage jihads and support civilized Israel.

She's generated a lot of strong opinions about her activities -- some think she's a hero and champion of free speech with her campaigns. Others see her as a hateful instigator who wanted something like today's killings to happen.

I don't know whether she wanted it or not, but she didn't drive the wanna-be killers to the Muhammad drawing contest and make them start shooting at people. They tried to kill people and got killed instead. She holds no blame, IMO.

Story (and lots of comments): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...l#comments

I listened to her a little last night and agreed with much she had to say.

I don't want a mosque at ground zero either. Some of the more dumb are equating her comments about jihads as applying to all Muslims in general.

Lesson learned: Americans shoot back.
