Just published yesterday. Pretty eye opening..
"REPORT — ISIS: The Threat to the United States
........
KEY CONCLUSIONS
........
*82 individuals in the United States affiliating with ISIS have been interdicted by law enforcement since March 2014 (including 7 unnamed minors and 4 killed in the course of attacks). (For a full list of those individuals see http://www.ThreatKnowledge.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
*More than 250 individuals from the United States have joined or attempted to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq according to the Final Report of the Task Force on Combating Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel published by the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee in September 2015.
*The FBI currently has nearly 1,000 ongoing ISIS probes in the United States, according to a recent report by Judicial Watch.
*ISIS is recruiting within the U.S. at about three-times the rate of Al Qaeda.
*Ali Shukri Amin, a 17 year-old Islamic State (IS) supporter from Manassas, Virginia, recently sentenced to 11 years in prison for conspiring to provide support to ISIS, had nearly 4,000 Twitter followers, under the alias, ‘Amreeki Witness.’
*Ahmad Musa Jibril, an Arab-American Islamist preacher living in Dearborn, Michigan, had 38,000 Twitter followers before his site went silent. A report by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) found that 60% of surveyed foreign fighters in Iraq and Syria followed Jibril on Twitter.
What the numbers demonstrate is that ISIS has a significant base of support in the United States, including both those who have already traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight as jihadis, as well as terror suspects who have been interdicted for attempting to travel there, providing support to ISIS in other tangible ways, or attempting attacks.
Most importantly, nearly one third of the domestic ISIS cases in the past 18 months involved people who planned to carry out attacks against Americans on U.S. soil. In other words, one third of those interdicted calculated that the best way to serve the new Islamic State and its Caliph, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, is to wage jihad here on the soil of the infidel.
It is also essential to note the number of followers of ISIS propagandists Ali Shukri Amin and Ahmad Musa Jibril, which shows that domestic support for ISIS may reach well into the thousands. With Syrian refugees starting to arrive in the United States, these numbers may further increase."

Re: ISIS: The Threat to the US
Unfortunately, we're likely to see a Paris style attack here...

Re: ISIS: The Threat to the US
With all these "weekend warriors" that ISIS has coming in from a multitude of countries, exactly what kind of fighting force can they be? If any organized army wanted to take back control of the land, it shouldn't be that difficult. The only thing holding anyone back is dealing with the aftermath. No normal group of people wants to govern that shithole of land.

Re: ISIS: The Threat to the US
People who are properly armed and practice good situational awareness have little to fear from these assholes.
