Islamic State targets thousands in New York and posts personal contact information to encourage its followers to terrorize
Islamic State supporters are sending a message of destruction.
Some associated with the group calling itself the Islamic State (also known as ISIL or ISIS) has posted information on thousands it wants to target in New York:
April 29, 2016
Some 3,000 New York City-area residents, most of them private citizens with no government ties, were targeted in an Islamic State“hit list,” law enforcement said.The list, intended as a threat, contains as many as 3,600 names. It includes some employees with the State Department and Homeland Security, but mostly contains personal information from private citizens. It was posted on site accessible to only IS supporters and is being considered a scare campaign from the IS-related group Caliphate Cyber United.
Law enforcement authorities said there is no specific threat to any one person or group. The FBI and New York Police Department plan to visit the homes of those targeted. The FBI said it would not comment on the incident specifically, but “the FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of information collected during the course of an investigation that may be perceived as potentially threatening in nature.”
“Potential threats may relate to individuals, institutions or organizations and are shared in order to sensitize potential victims to the observed threat, and to assist them in taking proper steps to ensure their safety,” FBI spokeswoman Carol Cratty said. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2016/04/29/Islamic-State-linked-hackers-target-thousands-of-New-Yorkers/1061461945640/

A group of hackers linked to Islamic State has posted online a list of thousands of New York residents and urged followers of the militant group to target them, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Federal agents and New York City police officers have been contacting the individuals on the list to inform them of the posting, but the source said law enforcement does not believe there is any credible threat. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-new-york-islamic-state-idUSKCN0XQ2AC
The Islamic State continues to kill and terrorize, despite U.S. and other efforts to try to thwart it. The fact the names and personal information was posted and the FBI wants to contact all those listed suggests that there this is a real threat, even if the Islamic State does not have a specific plan on how to kill them. Even this release was an act of terror as I am fairly sure many of the people listed as well as their families felt terrorized by the release.
In terms of USA politics, acts by the Islamic State have the potential to boost the presidential prospects for Donald Trump (it is also affecting European politics). All the polls I have seen suggest that Donald Trump benefits the most from terrorism as he is seen by many as the strongest one to deal with terrorism.
Currently, New Yorker Donald Trump is dealing with his own ‘terrorism’ as protesters in California have affected his schedule:
April 30, 2016
In San Francisco, hundreds of protesters demonstrated outside the venue where Trump was about to speak to the California GOP convention. The crowds forced him to leave his motorcade and even scale a small barricade to get in through the back.
Many of the protesters were angry over Trump’s stance on immigration. Once inside, the GOP presidential front-runner told the convention his entrance was “like crossing the border.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-gop-unity-california-intense-backlash-election-2016/
As far as the Islamic State goes, here is something about Donald Trump’s position this week on that:
April 28, 2016
Republican Presidential candidate frontrunner Donald Trump vowed ISIS would be wiped out, if he was elected President. http://www.tornosnews.gr/en/world-news/15825-donald-trump-promises-to-destroy-islamic-state-if-elected-us-president.html
April 28, 2016
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday again refused to rule out using nuclear weapons in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group, saying he will not be a “happy trigger” but that he wants to have an element of unpredictability.
“I don’t want to rule out anything,” Mr. Trumpsaid on NBC’s “Today” program. “I will be the last to use nuclear weapons. It’s a horror to use nuclear weapons. The power of weaponry today is the single greatest problem that our world has, and it’s not global warming like our president said. It’s the power of weapons, in particular nuclear.”
“I will be the last to use it. I will not be a happy trigger like some people might be. I will be the last,” he said. “But I will never, ever rule it out.”
Mr. Trump said one of the tenets of his foreign policy speech Wednesday is that “we need unpredictability.”
“If I get elected president, I don’t want ISIS to know what I’m going to be doing,” he said. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/28/donald-trump-wont-rule-out-using-nuclear-weapons-a/
Whether or not Donald Trump gets into office, terrorism will not be eliminated.
Why?
The Bible tells of a time of terror. Notice the following prophecies, several of which will involve the USA:
14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, 15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, 16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Leviticus 26:14-17)
25 The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)
12 “Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel. Terrors including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh. (Ezekiel 21:12)
12 Behold, these are the ungodly,Who are always at ease; They increase in riches…19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. (Psalms 73:12,19)
25 Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, 27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. (Proverbs 1:25-27)
5 Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way (Ecclesiastes 12:5).
Although I believe that the group currently known as the Islamic State will not be as it has been, and a temporary peace will come for a time (Daniel 9:27; see also The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27), terrorism will not be eliminated (though it will appear that way to many).
The Islamic State, per se, will be defeated. Yet, ultimately, a confederation against the USA, its Anglo-Saxon allies, and Israel involving Arab and European forces is coming per Psalm 83. And I have long believed that terrorism will have to be part of this based not only upon the “terror” prophecies, but those that discuss an arrangement between what is now mainly Islamic dominated lands and Europe in Psalm 83. While the current Islamic State will not lead as it wishes, it very well may be involved in major terrorist actions around the world.
Because of actions by groups such as the Islamic State and the terror attacks in the USA and Europe, many in the West, as well as in many of the Islam-dominated countries, will decide that a coalition of nations in North Africa and the Middle East is what is needed for ‘peace.’
Yet this, according to the Bible, will not truly bring lasting peace (Daniel 11:40-43), though it may well lead to a temporary one (Daniel 9:27). Instead of real peace, an Islamic confederation would be a prelude to the time of coming destruction (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3).
