The nation of Kyrgyzstan has escalated its efforts in fighting radical Islam with the arrest of Rashot Kamalov, a popular Imam who law enforcement say has allegedly been attempting to convince Kyrgyz youth to join the jihad in Syria and Iraq with the Islamic State.

It sounds as if Facebook might have to do some hard thinking about its new “Legacy” feature, whose first high-profile user was Copenhagen terrorist Omar El-Hussein.

Recently, London Mayor Boris Johnson described Jihadists as “porn driven losers” who have “low self-esteem and are unsuccessful with women.”

One is a jihadist movement that seeks global dominance,beheading journalists, throwing gay people off of rooftops and massacring any perceived foe which crosses its path on the way to restoring a grand Islamic state.

As Libya descends into utter chaos, Italy became the last Western nation to close its embassy. It turns out Italian diplomats aren’t the only ones fleeing North Africa for safer shores, as a wave of some 2,000 “migrants” (as France24 describes them) hit the water in evidently unreliable boats, ran into trouble between Libya and the Italian island of Lamepdusa, and had to call for rescue from the Italian navy.

The fight against ISIS has taken its share of twists and turns, but one constant in the conflict is America’s collective shock and surprise over the tactics of the terror group. There appears to be endless surprise that a group of individuals could have such religious fervor that they throw homosexuals to their death from rooftops, crucify people who speak out against them, behead their enemies, and, most recently, burned alive a Jordanian pilot trapped in a cage. But no one who is willing to speak truth should be surprised by such heinous acts.

In the recently released, but largely unheralded, National Security Strategy of the United States, the new buzz-word was “strategic patience.” As our unarmed Marines hastily departed Yemen, and ISIS closed in on their fellow devil-dogs in Iraq, the President was more than showing patience: he was making video about taking selfies.

For centuries, Westerners have been lured by the “mysterious” East. Fortune hunters, explorers, adventurers, businessmen, diplomats, journalists, artists, missionaries, and humanitarian aid workers have all fled the confines of the West for lives of drama and danger.

The Nigerian jihadist terror group Boko Haram has staged what is believed to be its first deadly attack on the nation of Chad, crossing the Nigerian border overnight and killing a number of soldiers.
