I'm starting this thread since I feel we "The People" need a place to discuss the news topics of current Terrorism and their results in our world today. This is NOT intended for further "Muslim bashing" or bashing any other Religion base. Any references to any religions needs be derived specifically from article links and headlines posted.

Trump swearing that the Islamic celebrations in N.J. during 9/11 attacks on WTC are being backed as truth by MANY as civilians (and others) coming forth with firsthand witness accounts of the tragic events.

ISIS taunt America in new video urging them to 'bring it on' as they vow to bring fire on their enemies once '80 banners' have been raised against them and mock US soldier suicides

Barack Obama recently dismissed ISIS as ‘a bunch of killers with good social media’ – and appears to have prompted a sickening response from the terror group which mocks US soldiers' suicide rates.​
This is sad... [emoji29] Our soldiers that committed suicide didn't take any innocents with them in the process.. [emoji49]

it just read like .. you had hoped .. the soldier suicide should have take some innocent lives with them.
Nononononono.. Not at all. My apologies on any improper clarification. I was trying to state that there was a serious difference between US and THEM Terrorists.. We're not like that over here and with good reason. We have morals, not a rabies style hatred of life. We are better humans in that aspect, I feel. If someone commits suicide here, it's just that one person. Only the sick and weak minded hurt other ppl like that..

As requested for youngsters...

This is where all this crap started:

Iran hostage crisis
Fifty-two American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days​

That crisis ended, as I recall, right after Reagan was inaugurated. But it apparently woke them up, and here we are now.

Well... If we're going to go back to when it started... you're going to have to roll the clock back further than that....

(and that's not even the start)
Thank you guys (both of you), I requested the information from @jefboyardee ..figured we needed the education and I couldn't exactly retrieve info from the Vatican for the thousand yrs prior, Lol

COLORADO SPRINGS — A gun battle erupted inside a Planned Parenthood center here on Friday when a man armed with an assault-style rifle opened fire and began shooting at officers as they rushed to the scene. The authorities reported that three people were killed, a police officer and two civilians, and nine were wounded before the suspect finally surrendered more than five hours after the first shots were fired.

That's why I'm more worried about this:

ISIS Adherents Praise San Bernardino Massacre, "America Burning"
The Islamic State created a horrifying hashtag praising the mass shooting but did not take credit for the killings

ISIS extremists began celebrating the mass shooting in San Bernardino hours after the massacre, creating the hashtag #America_Burning as police hunted for as many as three shooters, Vocativ discovered. The Islamic State, however, did not take credit for the shootings in the ghoulish postings.​

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Sends Armed Citizens Into Malls To Protect Against Terrorist Attacks

We have to undertake and deal with these threats as an entire community in order to best safeguard the public. The first line of defense is of course law enforcement, and that includes the posse, which has proved itself again and again a most valuable and successful resource through the years.​
Glad that SOMEONE has gotten the right idea! Now the other 49 states need to follow suit, possibly also adding Old West Style deputizations where necessary. Great post @jefboyardee !!

San Bernardino shooting suspect traveled to Saudi Arabia, was married, appeared to be living 'American Dream,' co-workers say

"He never struck me as a fanatic, he never struck me as suspicious," said Griselda Reisinger, who worked with Farook before leaving the agency in May.​

Great. Now we have to watch out for 'normal' people.
WTF?! Now the're hiding in plain sight.. no sheetz and hajibs to tell them apart..?! Crap..

Today Whalid Phares, a notable Moslem commentator, remarks that he couldn't understand why the Administration was afraid to label the San Bernadino massacre a terrorist act. He sited that this was a couple who had a well-planned incident with heavy arms, multiple rigged bombs in their residence, a new mother and husband willing to die for a cause. Makes sense, a purely terrorist act. Now, for a political group (liberals), who love to put labels, generalizations, and name-calling on their political enemies, they are very hesitant to label this tragedy appropriately.
