CHICAGO (WLS) -- The ABC7 I-Team looked into ISIS terrorists in the United States- not just a smattering of potentially violent radicals, but terrorists present in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and all 50 states.
In less than two years, ISIS has gone from a terror start-up overseas to what FBI Director James Comey calls a "chaotic spider web" in the US, with young Muslim men being radicalized in Illinois and the 49 other states. Comey suggests ISIS uses social media like a job fair. That's how he says terrorists snagged three New York men facing ISIS charges.
"Those people exist in every state. I have homegrown violent extremist investigations in every single state. Until a few weeks ago there was 49 states. Alaska had none which I couldn't quite figure out. But Alaska has now joined the group so we have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states," Comey said.
In Chicago, there are several current federal cases of teenagers being recruited online by ISIS, buying plane tickets to travel overseas; plans interrupted by U.S. counter-terrorism agents, in some instances at O'Hare Airport.
In New York City Wednesday, the latest plot - to blow up Coney Island - is a scheme authorities say by three Brooklyn men now in federal custody....
So was he asleep at the wheel, or are they fiendishly clever foes who will kill you all in your beds if the FBI doesn't get more funding?
Maybe Obama will confront ISIS, or mention radical Islam, when it spreads to all 57 states."This has Nothing to do with Islam"

Maybe Obama will confront ISIS, or mention radical Islam, when it spreads to all 57 states.
Wonder what measures will be taken?
Who handed the GOP its butt in 2008 and 2012? Any ideas on that? :roll:
Lots of losers in the GOP don't like Obama, But none of them could beat him.
It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. (Anyone can do that.) But getting out there on the field and playing the game is another story.
If Obama's so bad, why couldn't the GOP beat him? Fill us in.

We were skiing in Vermont yesterday. I didn't see anyone who looked like he could be a member of ISIS there. I wonder if they stay away from the slopes and instead burrow around the general stores of the small towns or hang with the cows.
How many Mafiosi did you notice?

"This has Nothing to do with Islam"
A lot, probably. There were a lot of New York Italians.
The headline makes it sound as if there were active ISIS agents poised to strike.
But the comment from the FBI makes it sound as though there is someone at least looking up ISIS web sites in every state.
"have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing"
Based on this comment, these are not all people who have finished "radicalizing" [however that is defined if it is defined at all].
It also sounds as if these are not all people who have actually been in contact with ISIS.
All in all, I think that the editor who chose the headline did us and himself a dis-service.
I mean...
AAAAAAHH! The sky is falling! Take my rights! Send the nukes! AAAAAAHHH! ISIS is under my bed!
Oh for ****s sake with this fear mongering.
are you all falling for it? lmao
Did the buildings "fall for it" on 9/11?
Tell the guy they burned alive that he has nothing to fear. Oh wait, you can't, because they burned him alive.
"This has Nothing to do with Islam"
It has nothing to do with anything but islam. The purpose of ISIS is to "purify" the religion and to install their 7th century version of sharia throughout the world. So far they have made a very effective start.
You are more likely to be struck by lightning while holding a winning powerball ticket then to be involved in a terrorist attack.........
