The Islamic State (ISIS) is back. Five years after Donald Trump entered the Oval Office and quickly brought about the destruction of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is resurgent and wealthy. Could this have anything to do with Old Joe Biden’s misrule? Of course.
“This new group will operate in the United States to surprise the murtad (apostates) in their own lands.” The target is, in principle, Muslims who turn their backs on ISIS’s interpretation of Islam (Sharia). “The name of this group will be called ISIS-NA (Islamic State of Iraq and Sham – North America),” the new video says.
FrontpageMag – Robert Spencer (h/t Nita) To be sure, there are other factors at play as well. An Iraqi security official said Friday that “recent assessments … put the group’s reserves at between $25 million and $50 million.” That could be a conservative estimate: the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2020 that ISIS had “assets ranging into the hundreds of millions of dollars across the Middle East and Central Asia,” according to “officials and government records.”
The Iraqi official said that ISIS got its cash from “opportunistic extortion, looting and kidnap for ransom,” but those are not the only sources of the jihad terror group’s income. WSJ added that ISIS “still extorts local populations in areas it controls or has supporters; receives income from businesses it seized during its rule; and collects payments from human trafficking.” It also controls “a growing share of illicit tobacco markets in Pakistan and Afghanistan.” Nor is even that all: “donors in several Middle Eastern countries work on raising funds,” says the WSJ, in an understated reference to wealthy Muslims around the world who believe that ISIS is a worthy Islamic organization and keep it afloat financially with substantial donations.
On Friday, the group announced that it had chosen a new caliph, the brother of the former ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed in a U.S. raid in 2019. The new top dog is Juma Awad al-Badri, a.k.a. Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi, succeeding Abu Ibrahim al-Quraishi, who blew himself up to avoid being captured in a U.S. raid in Syria in February.
They all call themselves al-Quraishi because they claim to be members of the Quraish tribe, the Meccan tribe of Arabia to which Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, belonged. To be a Quraish is a prerequisite of being the caliph, or successor, that is, Muhammad’s successor as political, military, and spiritual leader of the Muslims, and that prerequisite is non-negotiable, leading people such as Juma Awad al-Badri to fabricate a lineage back to the Islamic prophet.
Yet although they fancy themselves as seventh-century warriors, these guys are not remotely just fantasists. ISIS has been advancing all over of late. It is active in Mali, where either ISIS or al-Qaeda (both jihad groups are active in Mali) recently attacked an army base, murdering 27 soldiers and injuring 33 more. They have “seized vast swaths of the Malian countryside,” according to Reuters, and have expanded their operations into neighboring countries.
In late February in Nigeria, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) slaughtered 25 people. In Mozambique, ISIS is such a formidable presence that South Africa, Rwanda, Botswana, Lesotho, Angola, and Zambia have sent troops to combat it there. None of those countries is anything close to being a military powerhouse, but it’s still noteworthy that forces from six countries have to come together to fight a threat that most people assumed had been decisively defeated several years ago and would fade into the background.
The group has designs not just in Africa, either. Homeland Security Today reported in late February that ISIS had posted a video online urging Muslims in the United States to join “ISIS North America.”
It’s interesting that the Islamic State would choose now, of all times, to try to expand its organization into the United States. (There have been individuals who have joined ISIS from the U.S. in the past, but no significant organized ISIS group here.)
Weakness invites aggression, and we see this all around the world, from Ukraine to Taiwan to North Korea and in the renewed activities of ISIS. With Old Joe Biden in the White House, the Islamic State sees a perfect time to act in the United States. And with the Southern border essentially fictional and our law enforcement and intelligence apparatus devoted to hunting for equally fictional “white supremacists,” it’s easy to see why they think this way.

Offshoots of ISIS have and will continue to move Chinese fentanyl across the Southern border.

Goody! I can’t wait to pick up one of their fully auto’s and start plowing the fields…..
The Truth says
If the Biden Administration would have the same great hatred of ISIS as it has for the January 6th 2020 American political protesters, ISIS-North America; ISIS in the USA would be crushed.

What all forget is that the socialist is allways friends with the muslim see history.
The Advisor says
Joe Biden has both a legal responsibility and a moral responsibility to protect the USA and Americans from “home grown” and home operating ISIS( Islamic State) Muslim terrorists within America. Joe Biden can learn a lot from Donald J. Trump on how to defeat ISIS.

Are you holding your breath?

We should close the border. Put the military down there all along the border and use it to test all sorts of weapons.
Az gal says
Saudi Arabia & OPEC need to battle Islamic State this time. Btw, this “al” crap they do is ridiculous. “al” means “the”, just a way to try to make themselves look like they are all that. Like they are Saudis or something. Usually their last name is one of their forefathers. I don’t believe any of it & of course, Mo had no surviving son (Thank God). Just a bunch of sand rats. Ugly, too.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Biden is in office so that the nations can be ruined and he knows exactly what he is doing. Dont underestimate the demorats and their friends. The right network that they bitch about is in reality exactly the left network because all that they say the right is doing they are doing but they have the media and politics on their side. This is how they do it. they commit the crime and then to yell stop the thief he has my knife in his back.

Note in the article ISIS believes as the Quran War Book teaches that by breaking the eternal, Biblical Law of the HOLY ONE,
YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, and mass slaughtering non Muslims, their dark death god of MASS MURDER will reward them with Islamic Rape Heaven.

The Goal of Islam is to DESTROY the Human Soul and to DESTROY All LOVE for God.
Our Glorious, Awesome, Magnificent Creator is the complete opposite of the Muslim god.
Cruel, huge sex-slaver, founder of Islam, Mohammad, murdered/beheaded 700 Jewish men because of the Jews enormous LOVE for, and allegiance to the One God. The loyal Jews refused to follow another god and the new ‘religion’ — Blood Cult of Mohammad.
The Shema is the very essence of Judaism. Deuteronomy 6:4:
“Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One” (Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad) and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your strength.
When Jesus was asked which was the foremost commandment of all, Jesus quoted the Shema (above). The Shema is ALL about God (not man), and LOVE for God. This is what Islam seeks to destroy – LOVE for God.
Islam also elevates MAN. The Muslim declaration of faith includes a MAN, Mohammad, and NOTHING about LOVE for God. Islam rejects the Shema and replaced it with the shahada.
The Golden Rule does NOT exist in Islam.
Jesus said in the Bible, Matthew 7:12 In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
The Golden Rule has always been the Law and taught by all the Prophets.
The darkest night of all time will descend on our Western nations if our God-based, Bible-based Western civilization is annihilated by Islam.
Our Precious God will be with us to the very end and will divinely intervene and give great victory at a future time when multiple nations surround Israel to annihilate her. Foretold thousands of years ago in the Bible before Islam was invented:
Zechariah 12:9 I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
At that time, God’s Glorious Kingdom on earth will begin and the evil ones will never again hurt another human being.
Linda Rivera says
Biden is a puppet who obeys every command of his puppet masters.
Every day, the US Regime of Traitors make it clear their goal is the complete destruction of America. They will not stop. Every Muslim terrorist and terrorist organization know this and they act accordingly.

You could bet your last dollar that this is down to Biden being in office and because he is Muslims sympathizer and is weak as they come wonder how many have all ready flooded into America because of Biden open borders bombs and shooting are only a matter of time under this administration.
