IS claims responsibility for Texas cartoon attack

 

ISIS claims responsibility for Garland jihad attack, making Pamela Geller a target
"Pamela Geller is apparently on the hit list of ISIS.  French press agency AFP reports that ISIS is claiming responsibility for the attack on the Draw Muhammad cartoon competition in Garland, Texas:

"Two of the soldiers of the caliphate executed an attack on an art exhibit in Garland, Texas, and this exhibit was portraying negative pictures of the Prophet Mohammad," the jihadi group said.
"We tell America that what is coming will be even bigger and more bitter, and that you will see the soldiers of the Islamic State (ISIS) do terrible things," the group announced.
It marked the first time the extremist group, which has captured swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq, claimed to have carried out an attack in the U.S.

"Pamela, a longtime AT contributor, is no shrinking violet.  She has announced that she wants to have more such events. " Video at the link

"ISIS can be expected to plan and attempt to carry out more attacks.  We are in a battle of wills.  Pamela has baited the trap.  Will the Obama administration rise to the challenge?  It is an opportunity to take down ISIS."

"Consider the following from Breitbart. “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), sent a message to his fellow Sunni supporters to commemorate the Muslim holiday of Ramadan.

"Baghdadi wrote:

“Soon, by Allah’s permission, a day will come when the Muslim will walk everywhere as a master, having honor, being revered, with his head raised high and his dignity preserved. Anyone who dares to offend him will be disciplined, and any hand that reaches out to harm him will be cut off."

MAAMOUN YOUSSEF via Drudge   "CAIRO (AP) -- The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Tuesday for a weekend attack at a center near Dallas, Texas, that was exhibiting cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad - though it offered no evidence of a direct link to the attackers.

"An audio statement on the extremist group's Al Bayan radio station said that "two soldiers of the caliphate" carried out Sunday's attack and promised the group would deliver more attacks in the future.

 . . . 

"It was also unclear from the statement whether the group, which has captured large swaths of territory in Syria and Iraq, had an actual hand in the operation, or whether the two suspects had pledged allegiance to the group and then carried out the attack on their own.

"The suspects have been identified by officials as Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi. They opened fire on an unarmed security officer stationed outside the contest center featuring cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad." . . .
