ISIS operative says the threat of ISIS pretending to be refugees is NOT a fantasy

Wanting to believe against evidence that refugees from a region with a strong minority with radical religious views will not reflect the ideological make-up of the region they come from is wishful thinking.

'Just wait…' Islamic State reveals it has smuggled THOUSANDS of extremists into Europe

AN OPERATIVE working for Islamic State has revealed the terror group has successfully smuggled thousands of covert jihadists into Europe.

The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.

The ISIS smuggler, who is in his thirties and is described as having a trimmed jet-black beard, revealed the ongoing clandestine operation is a complete success.

"Just wait," he smiled.

A frightening number, I fear.

The worse I ever saw in that category was the mother of a suicide bomber in Israel who said she was proud and had other children to offer to jihad.

Religious brainwashing is a very potent evil.

number is honestly very hard to believe. ISIS has about 30-40 thousand followers.. to think they have sent 10 percent of there fighting force abroad is hard to believe. but sadly there probebly some truth to it as well.. heck even 400 could do a lot of damage.

Plus, they are virulently anti immigration and always print scaremongering stories about refugees.

Here's just one example: http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/the-daily-express-has-attacked-migrants-again-and-is-wrong-again--W1K5uXXrXg

And another: http://jondanzig.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/another-daily-express-lie.html

And some more:




It's almost as if some people WANT huge amounts of ISIS to be infiltrating the refugees just to prove something.

And how hard would it be when you have thousands of people wandering through the borders of several countries. And if someone is waiting for you, its easy to slip away quickly.
I said when all this started that the EU was going to regret what they were doing. But its happening quicker than i thought. Whether we like it or not

claiming to be tourists but clearly having plans (maps etc.) to merge in with the refugees in Greece to proceed further into the West. That's today's news.

The biggest threat we face in the US is the idiotic mindset of some of our people who think they have this under control, including the guy at the top, all the while neglecting to do very simple and obvious things to close gaping open doors.

Time will tell who is right. I just wish that only the people who want to create unnecessary risks would be the only ones to get killed or hurt from them. Unfortunately, that never happens. It's other people who pay for their idiocy. And that's what pisses me off.
