"Pro-Islamic State group issues threat: ‘Soon we’ll behead U.S. military in their homes’"

From: The Washington Times

A pro-Islamic State hacking group sent a chilling warning to members of the U.S. military and government Wednesday, promising followers of the organization would retaliate “very soon” for overseas bombing targeting the militant group.

A representative for the Islamic State Hacking Division told The Blaze the group is constantly spying on U.S. servicemen. On Tuesday, the group published personal information purported to belong to U.S. military and government workers online.

“Just like they spy on muslims, we are spying on them, watching their employees, watching their soldiers, recording their movements and taking their location information and passing it on to the soldiers of the Islamic State,” the anonymous source told The Blaze.

“They have no security just like their employees and military personnel have no OpSec,” he continued, “They are people who like to brag and boast and this is to our advantage.”

Using the anonymous messaging app, Kik, the source told The Blaze the group is not focused on attacking military bases and secured buildings, but said jihadist fighters “can now turn up in their houses. In their homes. This is war, what did you expect? u think u can bomb the islamic state and we don’t do nothing back? soon, very soon you will see.”

When asked what kind of attacks could be expected, the source replied, “you will see when US military and government personnel start getting beheaded in their homes.”

The source boasted of the hacking group’s skill set, claiming the group “probably” could have breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server.

He did not specify the group’s methodology however, saying, “Let the US gov figure that out,” The Blaze reported.

And the hope for humanity is gone.

So can we now start bombing them into oblivion?

Oh Boy! NOW I'm REALLY scared! Uh, I think not...
these are a bunch of boys who are talking big with the only reason to instill terror in others - this is not war - this is WHY were are at war with these idiots! We are not going to terrorize ISIS, we are simply going to make them WASWAS by killing them - and a bullet or bomb is much better than beheading them.

How do you decide if a threat is credible or not? In order to fully evaluate the message the message should be posted in it's entirety. We don't have the option to see that here. It's like hearing soundbites from scary movie. We should always be aware of our surroundings and never take for granted our security. We need to remain rational and calm. We need to think through things instead of having a knee jerk reaction to every news story posted. Terror groups thrive on inciting fear through intimidation, by reporting on it/responding to it we are giving them what they want.
We should always be aware of our surroundings, plan potential response scenarios, not allow ourselves to be targets, and practice information security. The risk may be minimal however we need to remain vigilant and not be complacent.

One can only hope that many ISIS thugs will attempt to assault the family's of military people only to discover that they are incredibly well armed and skilled in offensive and defensive hand-to-hand so that they can send the ISIS thugs to joining their prophet in Hell-fire which would make the missile with the same name blush by comparison:-)

I live in New Jersey, with some of the toughest gun laws in the country, and would likely face some kinda charges for it, but I would not hesitate to put a few holes in someone who attempted to enter my home with the intent of harming me or my family.

So now terrorists are Internet Trolls? That being said, until we have a leader that will let loose the military to crush these cowards like they are trained to, stuff like this will keep popping up. Why anyone would think that eradicating evil like this is a bad thing, I cannot fathom.

I question their ability to project their ideology in any meaningful way here in the US. Sure they may inspire some disaffected youth, or the odd nut job with a martyr complex... however that's about it.

The United States created ISIS, just as we created or enabled EVERY enemy we've fought in the Middle East.

Because ISIS is poised to invade Israel and Europe, I strongly believe that the US has an absolute moral obligation to hit ISIS with everything we have, and eliminate them.

I say this, even though, as a rabbi, I pray for peace, not war. If we don't act, we WILL go to war against them - in WW III (3)...

Last year a civilian friend of mine who lives near Fort Lee asked me why all of their friends in the Army were taking the Army stickers off of their cars, and why all of my Marine friends were posting their addresses.
