Eventual victory against the Islamic State could well lead to an uptick of terrorist attacks in the West, not a reduction in them, James B. Comey, the director of the F.B.I., said on Wednesday.

“At some point there is going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we’ve never seen before,” Mr. Comey said at a cybersecurity conference at Fordham University. “Not all of the Islamic State killers are going to die on the battlefield.”

Mr. Comey predicted that the military coalition would eventually succeed in crushing the Islamic State, but that “through the fingers of that crush are going to come hundreds of really dangerous people and they are going to flow primarily to Western Europe.” But some, he said, could well end up in the United States.

He's absolutely right about this, of course.

How do you weed out the crazies when they hide within a civilian population?

It was a good read. Did you ever watch Monty Pythons Flying Circus? If so, you might remember their skit for International Communism:

Nothing really came of it. However, there is a bit of truth with ISIS though. In that, if they can convince as many muslims as possible in the West to follow Islam to the letter, then we are in trouble. There are many 2nd, 3rd and even 4th generation muslims in Europe and I am sure that this will convince them even more to try and not only destabilise Europe or the USA, but to actually achieve their goal; to get Israel. Let us not kid ourselves, Israel is the ultimate prize and as long as we stay by her side, they won't move in. Anyway, time for some Basil Rathbone me thinks in Sherlock Holmes. "The House of Fear", sounds good. Have a great evening mini.
