Fighting Traitors

From BBC:
"American 'fighter' dies in Syria battle"

An American man, believed to be fighting alongside Islamist militants in Syria, has been killed, the White House has confirmed. A cousin of Douglas McCain told the BBC the US government called his mother to confirm his death on Monday. McCain was found dead by Free Syrian Army fighters after a battle at the weekend, according to NBC. The US government believes a small number of Americans have travelled to Syria to fight for extremist groups. Senior US officials told broadcaster CNN Mr McCain was fighting for Islamic State (IS), which now controls large areas of Iraq and Syria. Western officials have warned of foreign fighters returning to the US and Europe after receiving training in Syria. "We continue to use every tool we possess to disrupt and dissuade individuals from traveling abroad for violent jihad and to track and engage those who return." Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm John Kirby told the BBC's Katty Kay the death "brings home one of the real threats here about [IS] and why we think about them in an imminent way". After the killing of journalist James Foley by the group, they are demanding more than $6m (£3.6m) for the ransom of a female foreign aid worker, US media report.

^ This goes to show how dangerous ALL radical Islamists are (regardless if they are with ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Iran, etc.) They are recruiting citizens of every country and so the whole world needs to come together to stop this growing threat. I am glad that this American traitor was killed. If he was fighting against the US/West then he deserves to be weeded out like all terrorists. I hope this is a wake-up call for governments and people around the world to finally see and take seriously what those of us have been saying for over a decade - the radical Islamist threat is still here and hasn't gone away. 99% of all terrorist attacks since 2000 have been done by these kinds of groups in places like: Russia, the United Kingdom, Spain, Nigeria, Indonesia, India, the United States, Israel and many other countries. The time for keeping your head in the sand is over. ^
