now infiltrating the USA
'Though dozens of Americans have become members of the Islamic State, and some have been recruited into the external operations wing, “they know it’s hard for them to get Americans into America” once they have traveled to Syria, he said.
“For America and Canada, it’s much easier for them to get them over the social network, because they say the Americans are dumb — they have open gun policies,” he said.
“They say we can radicalize them easily, and if they have no prior record, they can buy guns, so we don’t need to have no contact man who has to provide guns for them.”'

This is a frightening but informative article. Rather devastating actually.
I don't even need to lend an editorial to this article. I'm just saying 'I told you so,' again and again and again.
On a side note, I had a very vehement discussion with a colleague some months ago about how Germany would be central to the infiltration of the EU by the psychotic terrorists. He's gob-smacked that I called that one.
I don't know what the solution is to this chaotic rise of the global collective of angry psychotics. The visual that keeps running in my head is that awesome scene in World War Z with the zombies hurling themselves over the wall in Jerusalem...
If the chink in the armor is social networks, then the social networks have to police themselves.... If the other chink in the armor is the ability for anyone in the USA to get a gun, then that has to be taken out of the equation also.
Unless someone has other bright ideas?
