One of the world’s largest international police agencies, Europol, issued a stark warning Monday: Islamic State extremists are expected to attempt lethal attacks on so-called “soft targets” in the West soon.
Some two and a half months after suicide bombers and gunmen killed 130 people in Paris, the Europol agency said (using an alternative acronym for ISIS) that, “there is every reason to expect that IS, IS-inspired terrorists or another religiously inspired terrorist group will undertake a terrorist attack somewhere in Europe again, but particularly in France, intended to cause mass casualties among the civilian population.”
Europol says it’s currently impossible to predict exactly when the attacks will take place. But previous reports by the agency have expressed concerns that ISIS terrorists were planning to use the so-called Mumbai method of coordinated bombings and shootings by multiple teams of assailants that claimed 164 lives in India’s financial capital in November 2008.
Hours before the Europol report was issued, a new video was released by ISIS celebrating the killers who carried out the Nov. 13 attacks in the French capital — while also threatening fresh bloodshed.
The 17-minute video, released Sunday, shows the extent of the planning that went into the multiple attacks in Paris, which French authorities have said from the beginning were planned in Syria. All nine men seen in the video died in the Paris attacks or their aftermath.
Seven of the militants, including a 20-year-old who was the youngest of the group, were shown standing behind bound captives, described as “apostates,” who were either beheaded or shot.
“Soon on the Champs-Elysees,” says Samy Amimour, who was raised in a Paris suburb, as he holds a captive’s head aloft.
The Nov. 13 attacks targeted a packed concert hall, a restaurant and cafe, and a soccer match at the French national stadium. The video glorifying the Kalashnikov-wielding gunmen and suicide bombers responsible for that carnage was probably also meant as a recruitment tool.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Monday’s Europol report was not intended to sow fear but “to look lucidly at reality.”

This is the new normal. And it’s really quite awful…………
I feel you are correct & it is world wide. So sad. It’s such a beautiful world, a pity these creatures won’t allow us to live in peace with each other, as we should be.
I will tell you this coming month is Madi-gras and they will no doubt being in the crowds with masks too and do damage because of this current Corupt Administration Obama Period
There will never be peace until the Prince of Peace returns physically.
Religion seems to be causing as many deaths as natural causes!!!
False Religions that is!
Only 1 religion/cult is the problem….don’t put other religions in the same category.
Amen to that. Ignorance and superstition, having thousands of years of practice.
Ignore the truths of science and run back to the jungle and witch doctors who make millions on TV. Purveyors of fiction.
No! Religion doesn’t harm, only people that do not believe in God harm others!
Yes that is the truth
Amen! Watch and pray for His coming soon.
God prayers for us all..Amen
There is only one way to combat this evil, KILL ALL muslims. They are the GARBAGE of the World and MUST be ELIMINATED. Bring them to America, PLEASE. I don’t want to waste my money chasing them, I just want to WASTE the BASTARDS. ALL of them, including the treasonous Barack Hussein Obama.
I lost two brothers and three friends in Iran, so, yeah I AM PISSED OFF! There is nothing worse than pissing ME off. You WILL PAY WITH YOUR COWARDLY muslim BLOOD.
Yes,all out extermination of ISIS is the only answer.
They are a cancer of the world.
Unfortunate that the “new normal” is “awful” but more into the realm of horrific, macabre, dangerous, fatalistic, just a few to describe what this world is now.
The most unfortunate part of this whole thing is that the heads of the various governments (France, Britain, the US, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Norway, etc.) haven’t learned the dangers of bringing in all these Muslim refugees. So this type of thing is bound to continue. The hundreds of sexual assaults, rapes,robberies, beatings, etc.taking place on a daily basis in all these countries that are taking in these Muslim refugees is more than enough evidence to support stopping the refugee program immediately. Trump had the idea of clearing a section of Syria of all terrorists
and settling the refugees there. That keeps them in their own environment (cultural, language, climate) and when the war is finally over there they can go back to their own home/property.
Why do governments continue to import another countries problems and endanger their own citizens. Why do they continue to try and promote Islam as a religion of peace when all evidence clearly indicates that it is not. ISIS has planted its own agents within the refugees and they will carry out similar attacks as the Paris one in other countries and cities
Yes, Watchman4U….We, the U.S. and the other countries you mentioned have enough crime to deal with without purposely bringing in more. Making a safe zone in Syria for these people is the best answer. All these countris should coalition to pitch together and make it happen.
It was obvious the german bringing in so manny refuges before hand was a very bad mistake.
Does germany not have better judgement than doing things blindfolded ?
Its all part of the globalists plan to destabilize and destroy western culture and borders. Agenda 21. Religious, cultural, ethical and monetary ties must be erased in order to take the white race down; and that IS their goal.
The media, the RINO’s, the Democrats and Liberals, as well as some Conservatives, continue to demonize Trump and his proposed TEMPORARY BAN on Muslims entering our country. In the meantime, the schools, colleges and the PC crowd are teaching our children that those of us who agree with Trump as racists and right wing extremists. I have kids in secondary school and in college and you should hear our dinner conversations. Common sense is all but lost in favor of ignoring the facts and the stark realities facing our once great nation.
Americans must carry their guns at all times. They won’t do you or anyone else any good at home in the nightstand. If we kill enough of them, they will go someware else.
I wish it wasn’t so hard here in queens NY to get a gun, I do would love owning one to keep my family and I safe..
move to Texas
Don’t bet your life on that one friend.
God is still in control.
Yes He is in control and he has ordained the greatest Tribulation the world has ever known. It is for the purpose of bringing out what is in the heart of all humanity
resulting in the greatest revival in history.
You can bet your life he is.
Amen!!! John H
We all need to come together an pray for our nation we need to see that it is One Nation Under God an only he Can stand With us an defeat them . We have to stand firm we are a Strong Nation . The Lord said if you Believe in me I will Believe in you. The Lord stood in front of his people an they were undefeated an that’s what we are.
Yes we ultimately win, but don’t forget that He said Christians will be persecuted and martyred before the culmination. Times are prophesied to worsen
dramatically as the end of Satan’s reign approaches.
Impeach Obama, Stop all refugee’s from coming into U.S., then get a non Muslim leader to take them out. Also allow all American citizens to pack!
There is not one person in the house or senate with enough guts to start empeachment proceedings against Obama. We elected those people to take care of our conservative issues, but as sonn as they were in office, they turn into RINO’s. Look at Ryan. What of joke.
The worst part is, Ryan is in the line to be president if something were to happen to Obama and then Biden. I don’t know if the congressional electorate considered that when they elected him.
woe unto those misleading the nations,This could have been stopped a long time ago if we had true leadership in Washington.Some one with guts ! Let’s forget the ones that lie to us and put a man with guys in the oval offices.Leaders from other countries fear this .Trump has the guts to protect our country,And he would not bow down or. Apologize for our troops doing there job.Evil only wins when good men do nothing God is in control and he will destroy evil
Europe needs to rethink its gun laws and allow citizens to own and carry concealed for their own protection. The laws making it hard for the law abiding European to own a gun has done nothing to stop the terrorists from getting them.
So why don’t the citizens say f%ck there gov. and do what the terrorist do when it comes to getting one. I’m telling you if this shit start coming here to the USA like europe, I will get one how over it takes. It’s either my or them and if i’m being shot at, i’ll be doing shooting back!!!
Then you had better go ahead and get your gun because it is already here.
They are going to hit the “soft spots” first and Churches
during worship hour are very “soft spots”. Church leaders please get your head out of the sand and lock all doors at worship services and place armed guards there.
Don’t give me the lame excuse “God will take care of us.”
You mean like He took care of the children who were shot
in the head in Oregon because they said they were
Christian?
Yes, He will take care of us and the way He will is He
gives us warning after warning on top of warning so
that we can be prepared. Jesus commanded His
disciples to arm themselves,and Paul said that a man
that does not provide for his family is worse than an
infidel.
Islamic extremism is dangerous to the entire civilized world. No one can point to any place where Islam is allowed to rule as a good place to live. Generally Islamic countries are places of poverty, fear, violence, oppression and misery. The Islamic State is doing a good job opening eyes to how bad the world would be if Islam ever becomes the dominant religion.
We need to get rid of these narcissistic, elitists liberals in Washington! They don’t live in reality
Like the rest , but the people have allowed this to happen, unfortunately
To our great country! Research your vote and the people you decide to
Govern our land this time! It’s a
critical turning point in history!
I think that these Isis groups have only experienced terror in their country. They are barbaric in the way they live and think. What good can they accomplish by terrorizing the world? They do not know the answer. These people are completely psychotic and they need help. The only world they know is an evil one. Their idea of God is not correct. They need to be led down a different path for sure.
Gail, how do you suppose to do this? These people are not going to listen or try to learn the way of our God. I think the only thing we can do is control the problem so it doesn’t get out of hand, Keep it in check. We need to terminate them like we get rid of cockroaches.
Oh, yea, Obama and “crew” remarked that this outfit ISIS, is an Ocean away, well, again, this person is wrong again, as usual. It would be sooooooooo nice, if he and his crew would do us, the American people a real favor for once, in these (8) yrs. That favor is just keep quite, spend you remaining time ……NOT SPENDING ANY MORE OF OUR MONEY, BUT JUST SIT IN THE WH, and DON’T CAUSE ANY MORE PROBLEMS, for us and the rest of the world.
We don’t know this to be a fact…….but in all of these (8) yrs, have you EVER listened to ANY of your advisors, because if you had , you would know this for a REAL fact. you destroyed yourself, you created the problems that you look at each day, and just saying, I would have a real serious talk with my staff…..It would go something like this…….”Mr. President, or what ever they call you, look, this is what’s going on, if you like it or not…….this is what has happen since you told us that you did not want to hear bad news.”. {Look at any rate, your action or inactions have REALLY screwed the country} Now aren’t you proud? jerk!
When you say that his actions or inactions caused this mess, and if he’s proud,Obama will say “Yes I am”, and take a bow. He is the Anti-Christ who is on a mission to destroy America from the inside!! He’s working with ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the world. That’s why he avoids taking action in the Muslim countries, or looks the other way while European countries continue to be overthrown by Islamic terrorists who were allowed into the country under their “open door policy.”
Obama wants to distract everyone by saying that global warming is the biggest threat to the world!!! Unbelievable!!! He says Islam is a peaceful religion. Oh yeah?? Thousands of people are dying, being tortured and raped every single day!! Nobody died of sunburn that I know of!!
It might be time to overthrow our own government! We might not make it to election day!!
BTW – Can’t wait to see Hillary talking in front of a Muslim community in a burka!! She’ll do anything for votes!
In his group of advisors are some of the leading Muslims in the United States including the head of the US branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. WHen a President picks his advisors he exposes his true leanings – and in this case it is not “We the People…”. Muslims are not the only people who can rise to a fight… Europe’s People are being driven to war and the US People are are already bracing for it – though imho the Muslim’s can have the liberal idiots who gave us this mess!
Remember THIS: All muslims go by the same book. There are NO peaceful muslims. Watch Obummer hold up that one finger that tells the world that he is muslim.
The scary part is that they have been given jobs in the hospitals and nearly all the city and state jobs plus being voted in for city council, mayor, policemen, etc. etc.
One thing about Louisiana, about 50% of the responsible people you pass on the street is packing a gun. It seems that the 50% that is not carrying or does not have one in their home ends up a victim and very seldom is a responsible gun owner ending up in the news as a victim. Hmm, should I or should I not carry a gun? Seems like the answer is who is not in the news as a victim.
simple solution. all single muslim men dead. Give us, the citizens of the USA, the right to hunt them down and kill. FEMA camps are the place for muslims not conservative Americans. That is a good POW camp. Sam Trautman’s axiom is apropose at this juncture; “when in doubt, KILL!”
When Muslims disavow all references to kill the infidel, then we can believe them, otherwise, we ahve to assume starting with the men, that the belief is kill the infidel. AnD piss on Hilary, we treat the muslim man just like he treats us; as the enemy! So what does that make her? The enemy!
When I think of all the time, energy and money spent for the purpose of obtaining peace with the muslims I can only shake my head. The muslims aren’t seeking peace – they don’t even have peace beween the two factions – sunnis and shittes (sp?) – of muslims. While they are busy trying to destroy the western nations, they are also warring and killing each other. They can’t be reached with reason because they are seeking a world war. Many feel a religious iman who disappeared centuries ago is waiting to appear to lead the take over of the world but he won’t appear until the world is in the midst of mayhem, He will then arrive on the scene and lead the muslims to take over the world and will bring in total muslim rule. He is called the mahdi. The last president of Iran spoke at the U.N. saying he felt he was the one called to bring about the great war that would cause the mahdi to appear. You can’t threaten muslims with fear of death because they don’t fear death. It is an honor for them. Mothers are very proud of their sons and daughters who have given their lives for the cause and are willing to give them all up to this culture of death.
How do you reason with this? You can’t. Obama knows this – all the muslim brotherhood members working with him in the white house know it. I truly believe obama is a muslim and from the beginning of his ‘rule’ has worked toward pushing this agenda.
I worked for the State Department as a Security Advisor for 12 years. I was in Iraq and Afghanistan most of the time and some in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. I had many local Muslims working for me. I spent several hours a day talking and working with them. I did not and do not understand how they think. Example; We were involved in preventing fuel shipments to the enemy. Several locals took bribes and allowed access to some tankers. When questioned about the breach they stated that they did not care because it would not have been their tribe that was blown up. The lives of others (men, women and children) meant nothing to them.
