From the point of view of ISIS, the war with the West is taking place all over the world.
The arena of Syria, Iraq and the rest of the Middle East is just one battlefield.
And it is far from being their most important field of play.
ISIS is waging attacks against the West. To confront ISIS, the West needs to realize that they are indeed under attack and to understand the nature of the attacks. Study ISIS’ tools and weapons, understand their objectives and create a strategy to confront ISIS and defeat ISIS right here in the West not just in the Middle East. We need to use weapons of the mass media as well as military weapons. This is a very different kind of war.
It is infantile to assume that the spate of attacks being perpetrated on our own Western turf are not ISIS influenced. Don’t only look for full fledged card carrying ISIS members Anyone connected to an ISIS website is connected to ISIS. Anyone. In the Arab world and the West as well.

US Declares War on Russia (Step One)
December 4, 2014
21st Century Wire says…
Behind the White House’s political smokescreen in Ferguson and New York, US lawmakers were busy sliding through a pre-declaration of war against Russia.
The latest resolution by the US Congress, most likely drafted and presented to the speaker by Washington DC-based Neoconservative think tank, Foreign Policy Initiative (formerly Project for a New American Century), calls for renewed political, and military support for Fascist and NeoNazi-sympathizing regime in Kiev, Ukraine, which will include:
- US aid for Kiev regime to keep using its military against ethnic Russians in east Ukraine.
- US funding for more weapons and military support in the Ukraine.
- More US funding for foreign language, pro-US, and anti-Russian propaganda throughout eastern Europe and in countries bordering Russia.
In all but name, this US resolution is preliminary declaration of war, moving Washington right up to the final step, which is a formal declaration of war. Based on its recent record of engaging in foreign conflicts, it is unlikely a final declaration will come, as the US has already set numerous precedents already by waging Wiemar-style undeclared wars, or by simply bypassing its domestic checks-and-balances by waging any war through NATO.

... The tetrads and other prophecies do seem to converge to the current time period but revelation is vague at best so I am sitting on the fence as far as the apocalypse is concerned.
all well and good
there is plenty of time left until the 1st sequence of the first 4 seals are opened (until late Sept 2015 at the 4th blood moon/4th horseman....and the appox. 75 days grace period afforded humanity by the delay of the start of the Caliphate on 29 June '14 instead of on that 15 April '14 blood moon)
so yeah... there is still wiggle room to come to grips with the Chaos in the world which will continue to grow in scope and intensity...
but a sure sign will be the standing-down or complete collapse of the radical-Jihadist driven present Caliphate which operates under the force of IS-ISIS... the collapse or stand-down will not be a military defeat of the ISIS Jihad Army but a political/Ideological capitulation and surrender to a more forceful Islamic Caliphate which will not use terror and horrific slayings as a standard procedure... a more civilized Caliphate that have more Islamic gravitas than baser-human agencies to kill and terrorize the global populations not under Sharia Law at present
you might weant to keep this thread in your favorites for repeat scans of the posts from time-to-time

I am certain that the Jihadist movement is not driven by the Islam community but by those that want to destroy Islam. [...]
So I don't see it standing-down but expanding into a greater war.
I was given a vision a few months back; if something occurs this 6th march I will step on your side of the fence.

I just thought the 4 horsemen prophecy was somehow connected with the NWO. Before I put any more post on this subject , I was hoping to get some other opinion from the rest of you guys ...

[edit on 16-4-2005 by Nygdan]
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been its leader since May 2010, ... Then, on July 5 of last year, he stepped into the pulpit of the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul, to deliver a Ramadan sermon as the first caliph in generations...
...Our ignorance of the Islamic State is in some ways understandable: ...
But his address, and the Islamic State’s countless other propaganda videos and encyclicals, are online, and the caliphate’s supporters have toiled mightily to make their project knowable. We can gather that their state rejects peace as a matter of principle; that it hungers for genocide; that its religious views make it constitutionally incapable of certain types of change, even if that change might ensure its survival; and that it considers itself a harbinger of—and headline player in—the imminent end of the world
We have misunderstood the nature of the Islamic State in at least two ways. First, we tend to see jihadism as monolithic, and to apply the logic of al‑Qaeda to an organization that has decisively eclipsed it...The Islamic State supporters I spoke with still refer to Osama bin Laden as “Sheikh Osama,” a title of honor. ///... Bin Laden viewed his terrorism as a prologue to a caliphate he did not expect to see in his lifetime. His organization was flexible, operating as a geographically diffuse network of autonomous cells. The Islamic State, by contrast, requires territory to remain legitimate, and a top-down structure to rule it. (Its bureaucracy is divided into civil and military arms, and its territory into provinces.)
We are misled in a second way, by a well-intentioned but dishonest campaign to deny the Islamic State’s medieval religious nature
... the fighters of the Islamic State are authentic throwbacks to early Islam and are faithfully reproducing its norms of war. This behavior includes a number of practices that modern Muslims tend to prefer not to acknowledge as integral to their sacred texts. “Slavery, crucifixion, and beheadings are not something that freakish [jihadists] are cherry-picking from the medieval tradition,” Haykel said. Islamic State fighters “are smack in the middle of the medieval tradition and are bringing it wholesale into the present day.”
...Before the rise of the Islamic State, no group in the past few centuries had attempted more-radical fidelity to the Prophetic model than the Wahhabis of 18th‑century Arabia. They conquered most of what is now Saudi Arabia, and their strict practices survive in a diluted version of Sharia there. Haykel sees an important distinction between the groups, though: “The Wahhabis were not wanton in their violence.” They were surrounded by Muslims, and they conquered lands that were already Islamic; this stayed their hand. “ISIS, by contrast, is really reliving the early period.” Early Muslims were surrounded by non-Muslims, and the Islamic State, because of its takfiri tendencies, considers itself to be in the same situation.
