Capture the Flag

Thanks to the blog Gateway Pundit we learn that ISIS has released a new online threat today on JustPasteIt. One part of this threat is to assassinate Pamela Geller who was apparently the focus of the recent attack in Garland, Texas in which two devout Muslims were killed … see my recent posting: First Amendment Debate. This group of religious zealots also make some other stylized threats that should now be taken seriously by those duty-sworn to protect us … see the following quote for the substance of these threats:

The attack by the Islamic State in America is only the beginning of our efforts to establish a wiliyah [province] in the heart of our enemy. Our aim was the khanzeer [swine] Pamela Geller and to show her that we don’t care what land she hides in or what sky shields her; we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter. This will heal the hearts of our brothers and disperse the ones behind her. To those who protect her: this will be your only warning of housing this woman and her circus show. Everyone who houses her events, gives her a platform to spill her filth are legitimate targets. We have been watching closely who was present at this event and the shooter of our brothers. We knew that the target was protected. Our intention was to show how easy we give our lives for the Sake of Allah.

We have 71 trained soldiers in 15 different states ready at our word to attack any target we desire. Out of the 71 trained soldiers 23 have signed up for missions like Sunday, We are increasing in number bithnillah [with the permission of Allah]. Of the 15 states, 5 we will name… Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, California, and Michigan. The disbelievers who shot our brothers think that you killed someone untrained, nay, they gave you their bodies in plain view because we were watching.

I realize that it is easy to ignore such braggadocios boasts and go play some golf ... but, for one, I think we should be a little more wary of such groups and go balls out, ala Dick Cheney and the previous administration, to capture their flag.
