I wish 'Daesh' would become the universal word used. A universally excepted label for a common enemy.
Using 'ISIS' in it self validates they are/have a state.
They do/are not, they occupy sovereign territory with their version of Marshal Law.
Why Isis will hate it if we start calling them Daesh...

Actually France are already using the word "Daesh" instead of ISIS.

I think everybody should call them for what they are!

Hmm.
The man pictured in the article is Tarkhan Batirashvili AKA Omar the Chechen.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/06/27/al-qaeda-urges-lone-wolves-to-target-whites-to-avoid-hate-crime-label.html
Lone wolf jihadists should target white Americans so no one mistakes their terror attacks for hate crimes unrelated to the cause of radical Islam, Al Qaeda writes in the latest edition of its online magazine.

In an article first reported by The Foreign Desk, Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) called for more self-directed Muslim terrorists to kill in America. But the article, titled “Inspire guide: Orlando operation,” tells terrorists to “avoid targeting places and crowds where minorities are generally found” because if gays or Latinos appear to be the targets, “the federal government will be the one taking full responsibility.”
...
Although Al Qaeda does not take credit for Mateen’s attack in the online article, it urges more “lone wolves” to take up arms. Jihadists should target “areas where the Anglo-Saxon community is generally concentrated,” it states. “This class of the American community is the majority and it is the one that is in the American leadership.”

Al Qaeda is "very carefully threading a needle" by endorsing the attack while criticizing Mateen's target selection, said Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for Clarion Project, a Washington-based nonprofit that tracks the international terror threat.

"This is Al Qaeda's way of asserting itself above ISIS in the wake of its competitor's success," Mauro said.

Inspire magazine often exploits terror attacks in the West and makes threats against Europe and the United States. While the terror group responsible for 9/11 has been overshadowed by rival ISIS in recent years, it praised Mateen for his monstrous act.

“We stand by and support all Muslims who attack America in their homeland regardless of their affiliation to any group or loyalty,” the guide states, though adding that Mateen could have killed even more if he had used bombs in addition to the guns he carried: a Sig Sauer MCX semi-automatic rifle and a Glock 17 handgun.

"Al Qaeda is talking condescendingly toward ISIS while remaining supportive, like a guru of jihad mentoring a reckless amateur," Mauro said.

This isn't exactly new....

The Sunni and the Shiite have been fighting (and killing) each other since the Battle of Siffin... July 26-28, 657 A.D.

Reportedly, out of around a total of 200,000 combatants, 70,000 dead.

Are terrorists today only muslims?
At least 12 persons have been shot dead in a attack on a market in the Indian state of Assam in the northeast part of the country, according to the authorities, reports CNN. A Christian terrorist group is believed to be the perpetrators.

Of course not.

But since we cannot effectively destroy all terrorist groups at the same time: We set priorities.

IE: Presently, which one is the most dangerous and murderous to our civilization?

Then we go after the others.

And what priorities are those Clyde?

To create even greater threats for the future than those that your country, under previous administrations, has already created?

Clyde, you confess to being a history teacher at 1 stage in your life and you like to quote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.", so tell me why that, up until the Obama regime, your country has been constantly repeating the mistakes that other empires of the past have made in the past, and all just since WWII? Other countries/empires took centuries just to invent all those mistakes to start with you know. Just another case of "Pete repeat" mentality maybe?

Also why do a lot of U.S. citizens always automatically connect those being socialists to being the same as those who are communists? Or is it that you just can't understand the difference of others just wanting to get along with each other and not that of controlling resources plus each other?

Now don't squirm Clyde, just answer these simple questions without your usually stupid rhetoric (or just plain ignoring them as you tend to want to) so that everyone here can understand them and you.

I won't hold my breath while waiting for sensible answers from you either as I know that you'll just reply in your usual gibberish fashion anyway.

Cheers.

Greetings Wiggo,

Usage Discussion of socialism

In the many years since socialism entered English around 1830, it has acquired several different meanings. It refers to a system of social organization in which private property and the distribution of income are subject to social control, but the conception of that control has varied, and the term has been interpreted in widely diverging ways, ranging from statist to libertarian, from Marxist to liberal. In the modern era, “pure” socialism has been seen only rarely and usually briefly in a few Communist regimes. Far more common are systems of social democracy, now often referred to as “democratic socialism,” in which extensive state regulation, with limited state ownership, has been employed by democratically elected governments (as in Sweden and Denmark) in the belief that it produces a fair distribution of income without impairing economic growth.


Got it from here.

Communism and Socialism may in fact be 2 different animals, but they have been connected in some fashion, somewhere in history...

Me? I prefer neither one of them. :)

Peace :)

Sheesh. I bit of a synopsis would go a long way rather than just posting a link. My curiosity is not piqued enough to just click a random link in a post.

Yeah, Associated Press (AP) is a bit random, I mean they're only one of the largest news agencies. "Sheesh" indeed.

For those that are click shy, the first paragraph of the article linked by Gary is:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- A brazen, hours-long militant attack on the American University of Afghanistan ended early Thursday after at least 13 people were killed and dozens wounded in the assault on the sprawling campus on Kabul's outskirts, a government spokesman said.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...
