ISIS already in the U.S.?

This happened in Jacksonville, FL -- let's go ahead and admit that they are here. Looks like the phone repair kiosk was a cover to raise funds and for these scumbags to trade in their burner phones.

We will be engaged in a war on our soil within the next 20 years. Hope you all are ready. I know I'll be.

I'm surprised you thought there weren't. Always going to have a certain % of people living in the US not pro-US.

Welcome to reality.

I'm curious, if a US citizen kills a known member of ISIS, could they be prosecuted? I'm talking about a scenario where this ISIS affiliate isn't doing anything harmful at that moment. Does the Federal government branding ISIS as a terror network make them fair game no matter what?

Actually, the situation with ISIS is much different than with Al-Qaeda. ISIS wants to gather fighters to Syria to join the re-established 'Caliphate' and then take over key parts of the middle east in preparation for the 'Final Battle' which they believe will hasten the appearance of the 12th Imam (and a bunch of other stuff).

They are much less of a direct threat to the US than Al-Qaeda, which has always wanted to take the fight to the evil Satan (i.e. the US). Fortunately for us Al-Qaeda is no longer the latest and coolest terrorist group to hang with which is why you see all these poor saps running to ISIS.

I say we develop energy independence from all those nut-jobs and then we can treat them like we do other less strategically important countries, like most of Africa or South America. Then we can stop spending huge $$ and more importantly the precious lives of our military on the impossible goal of stabilization and peace of the middle east.

What ISIS really wants

AQ sought to 'take the fight to the U.S.' because it views the U.S. as the power behind the corrupt thrones in the region they seek to overthrow. They felt once the 'puppet master' withdraws they can have a better chance with the puppets.

ISIS has just been more keen on filling the vacuum created by U.S. foreign policy in the region over the last 25 years. Their outgrowth from the militias that arose against Assad (funded by some of those same 'puppet' monarchies in the Gulf) is obviously different than that of AQ, but their over-arching goals and perception (of the U.S., etc.) I think are pretty closely aligned.

Speaking of Syria:

Western-backed "moderate" rebels fighting jihadists in Syria are refusing to do battle and even defecting for lack of weapons and other promised support, leaders said.
...
The recent experience of moderate rebels suggests this policy is backfiring. Two of the most important American-backed groups were attacked and overrun earlier this month by Jabhat al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda's branch in Syria, a defeat they put down to their lack of international support. It was reported that Jabhat al-Nusra was able to capture weapons originally supplied by the West and its allies.

We meant well, dammit!
