Global Jihad Update

Global Jihad Update More than 13 years after the September 11th terrorist attacks on America, we are sorry to report that Jihadists around the globe—including right here in the United States—are more active than ever. This makes ACT! For America’s mission, and especially your financial support for our work, more vital than ever. With an administration in power in Washington DC that appears to be indifferent at best to the threats that America faces, ACT! For America must redouble its efforts in the media and from coast to coast across the country to educate patriots about the true nature of the enemy. Won’t you please continue your support for our cause with any amount that you can contribute today? We realize that these are tough times in the American economy, but together we are making a difference for American national security. Your generous, tax-deductible gift will show that you understand that “it’s not just the economy, stupid,” it’s national security that really matters! As this bulletin goes to press, there is sobering news on the front against the Islamic State (IS). President Obama’s ill-advised strategy of limited air strikes against the Islamic State jihadists in Iraq and Syria is, as predicted by numerous military experts, failing to stop their onslaught. IS fighters are now at the outskirts of Baghdad to the east and are feared to be headed toward Beirut, Lebanon on the west. The Syrian Kurdish holdout town of Kobani appears to be on the verge of falling to IS fighters, despite US-led airstrikes. More troubling is the fact that this is happening right in plain view of our so-called allies in Turkey, who seem to be making a less-than-lackluster attempt to battle IS fighters in general. There is now a real fear of a bloodbath in Kobani should the IS jihadis conquer the town. In addition, as if to illustrate the barbaric nature of Islamic jihad, new, heartbreaking evidence is emerging of the fate of women when IS takes over an area. Non-Muslim women and girls have been sold into sex slavery by the hundreds for the perverse pleasures of IS fighters. Meanwhile, the clash between the Kurds and Yazidis with the Islamic State savages in Syria has spilled over to other regions, specifically Germany, where Kurds and Yazidis held marches demonstrating against IS. In what has to be considered concrete evidence of widespread support for IS among Germany’s Muslim community, hundreds of Muslims confronted the demonstrators. 23 people were injured in the subsequent violence. Unfortunately, Germany is far from the only country in which support for IS has arisen amongst Muslims. In Pakistan, the Tehrik-i-Taliban jihadist terrorist group joined Abu Sayyef, Boko Haram and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in pledging allegiance to the Islamic State, directing its members and supporters to back the Caliphate. Now, we have a brand new area of IS support surfacing. Japanese authorities are investigating a group in their country who planned to travel to Syria to fight for IS. Another American Muslim, Mohammed Hamzah Khan, was arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport as he attempted to board a flight to Istanbul, Turkey to join IS. But by far the most chilling report of the long arm of IS support has to do with America’s military heroes and their just as heroic families. The US Army has issued a warning to US military personnel and families about the threat of attacks here in the US from IS jihadists who have been instructed to scour press reports and social media for locations where military families live. If this does not show that we are in a total war, nothing will. Not even during the height of World War II were military families stateside threatened. Nor did such a threat emerge in the US during the Cold War. But such a threat now exists. In fact, it’s more than just a threat. A US Air Force airman and his son have already reportedly been swarmed with threats by IS members on Facebook in accordance with the instructions from IS leadership and just as the US Army bulletin warned. Given this activity, it comes as no surprise that FBI Director James Comey warned this week that Jihadists were planning terrorist strikes here in America. Your Financial Support is Urgently Needed As you have already no doubt gathered from this brief summary of Jihadi activity around the world, everyone at ACT! For America must ramp up our efforts to warn America about the threat from jihad and educate the public, the media and policymakers alike about the nature of that threat. The simple fact is, we cannot do it without money. Money helps make the media appearances, speaking tours, conferences, reports and policy briefings possible.
