This article is a little heady...but the point is, across the board there is agreement...ISIS is exponentially spreading to the point that governments thousands of miles away from Syria and Iraq...oceans away, even...are starting to think about the consequences of its inevitable spread. Is the church thinking about the consequences of its inevitable spread?...Christians are the ones they hate... Habakkuk 1:4-9 The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted. 5 The LORD replied, Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldnt believe even if someone told you about it. 6 I am raising up the Babylonians, a cruel and violent people. They will march across the world and conquer other lands. 7 They are notorious for their cruelty and do whatever they like. 8 Their horses are swifter than cheetahs and fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their charioteers charge from far away. Like eagles, they swoop down to devour their prey. 9 On they come, all bent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind, sweeping captives ahead of them like sand. Habakkuk 2:1-9 I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the LORD says and how He will answer my complaint. 2 Then the LORD said to me, Write My answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. 3 This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. 4 Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God. 5 Wealth is treacherous, and the arrogant are never at rest. They open their mouths as wide as the grave, and like death, they are never satisfied. In their greed they have gathered up many nations and swallowed many peoples. 6 But soon their captives will taunt them. They will mock them, saying, What sorrow awaits you thieves! Now you will get what you deserve! Youve become rich by extortion, but how much longer can this go on? 7 Suddenly, your debtors will take action. They will turn on you and take all you have, while you stand trembling and helpless. 8 Because you have plundered many nations; now all the survivors will plunder you. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence. 9 What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your familys nest beyond the reach of danger. Who was the Lord talking to through Habbakuk?...the end time people... Here is the quote: THE TRANSNATIONAL NATURE of the ISIS jihadist ideology has reportedly attracted Islamic citizens from Southeast Asia to reclaim “lost territory” to Islam and embroil themselves in the Syrian conflict. According to Joseph Chinyong Liow in his Foreign Affairs article “ISIS goes to Asia,” the traction for ISIS support may be attributed to the “ideological,” “sectarian” and “humanitarian” affinities behind the ISIS ideology. Real threat, however, comes from the consequence of a Southeast Asian import of the global ideology in order to further terror objectives at home. Radicalization is also viewed to come from the “inspiration” of participation in trans-Islamic brotherhood and the power of social media to amplify identification. Are the Philippine security forces ready for the transnational terror threat that ISIS? This question has become more than relevant in the light of the recent phasing out of the US anti-terrorist Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines, which has found alignment with the Aquino III government’s transition to territorial and external defense. So the USA is making way for the spread of ISIS in southeast asia? Yep. bworldonline/content.php?section=Opinion&title=isis-ripples-in-southeast-asian-shores&id=96856
