Islamic State Is Growing At 'Warped Speed' In Africa



FOX News: Egyptian beheadings show ISIS taking ‘global jihad’ to rest of Arab world

The Islamic State's mass execution of Egyptian Christians is the latest sign that ISIS is pointing its sword against not just the West but the rest of the Arab world -- drawing the region into a spreading war that leaves the United States in a difficult spot as it tries to marshal a cohesive coalition.

That coalition started last fall as a U.S.-led airstrike campaign involving several Gulf states, and Jordan. Not only have a host of western nations since joined to offer at least financial support, but several other countries in the Middle East and North Africa are now launching their own military campaigns.

Update: ISIS atrocity in Libya demonstrates its growing reach in North Africa -- CNN

WNU Editor: Their rise in Libya has surprised a lot of people .... and no one is sure on when their growth and influence will end .... or even how to stop it.

Anyone besides me notice that every country the US has destabilized since 911 has been a birthplace for ISIS .. all by design imo ..

I wonder how the West (particularly the US) failed to foresee the instability that Gaddafi's fall would bring... Or was it their objective after all? We can only wonder....

If ridicule could kill, the African Union would be buried by now for being held hostage at its own backyard during the Libya crisis.
