The international jihad terror group is poised for a big resurgence during the coming four years.

ISIS trying to attack Mother Russia?
Either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid! That would give Vlad the excuse he needs to turn anyone with a towel wrapped around it’s head into fertiliser and ISIS would become WAS WAS.
Kuwait is a different matter, they are obviously going after the oil for cash and have been able to recruit some useful idiots to help them.
Glad both lots were thwarted.
Infidel says
Wonder how Vlad would react if he found out that the sultan of Ankara was behind it? It’s an open secret – Turkey is the #1 backer of ISIS in the world – a bigger terrorist nation than even Iran
The Kuwait of 1992 is dead – the country that was grateful to us for saving their halal bacon. The Kuwait of today plays a delicate balancing act since they wanna support jihadists, but not piss off the Saudis or get the sort of treatment Qatar has been getting. Which is why of the Gulf states, Kuwait is the only one still very friendly w/ Pakistan and Iran, and have made it a point to buck the recent trends and openly oppose both Israel and India
I dunno that oil will get anyone much cash anymore. For instance, the Saudis ended their oil loan program to Pakistan, and the latter is now secretly smuggling it from Iran. Don’t think that ISIS would make much cash even if they got hold of anyone’s oil

Not really, Keith. There have been many Jihad terror attacks in Russia, including this from just a few days ago:
“Russia: Muslim injures six in jihad suicide bombing in front of Federal Security Service building”

None of this has stopped Putin from opening mega-Mosques, playing footsie with Iran and Turkey, and enabling Shari’ah law in Chechnya on Russian soil. Sadly, Putin’s reputation for being tough on Jihad is largely unearned.

Islamic State jihad massacres foiled in Russia and Kuwait
……………….
Glad they were foiled–but there are apt to be *many* more to come.
Mojdeh says
ISIS they have to catch them since already, put them in special FEMA camp in Russia or Kuwait and play Quran 24 hours a day. Food wise they should give them pigs only 24 hours.lol…

Mojdeh, I know you have claimed before that FEMA is putting people in concentration camps, but this simply is not the case–this is a conspiracy theory.
FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and steps in to offer government assistence in case of disasters. They haven’t always been all that competent–see the muddled response to Hurricane Katrina–but that is *very* different from the claim that they are running death camps.

OLD GUY says
Why non-islamic people still support the idea that Islam is a religion of peace and love and welcome these savages into their countries is unbelievable. The last twenty years have proven the level of violence and terror supported by the islamic religion and its leadership.
It is absolutely apparent that allowing the MIGRATION INVASION of our country and communities is a huge mistake. These migrants are not coming to our country to become part of our society, they come to destroy our way of life. The only way to stop this is to close our borders to islamic countries and people. If we continue to support the islamic invasion the result will be civil war.
