I just mention of this on p'dox from a few weeks ago.

http://www.valuewalk.com/2014/06/isis-5-year-territorial-expansion-plan-map/

QuoteISIS, the radical terrorist group that has seized massive portions of Iraq and also Syria, is apparently looking to expand its territory as far as the East coast of North Africa and all the way into South East Asia, with Malaysia and Indonesia in its sights (or perhaps dreams would be a more appropriate term). This is all according to a map that has been circulating Twitter. See Below:



QuoteAt the moment, the veracity of this map has not been confirmed. Still, it does appear to fit with statements made by ISIS members elsewhere. The map shows an Islamic empire stretching the Muslim world that spans across Africa, the Middle East, and South and South East Asia. Even a few countries were Muslims are not a majority, such as India, appear to be the target of ISIS ambitions.

The Mad Dog of the Middle East had the same idea.  Didn't work then, either.

Don't they know EU gets boring after you blob that much?

It is a bit surprising to see Vicky map being used for these purposes. :D

Looks like they have big plans for Austria too.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's pretty nice of them to want to give Austria an Empire again though. :)

A dirty bomb is more likely to kill people in the actual explosion than through radiation poisoning, and the blast damage would most likely be higher than long term radiation contamination.

Much more efficient to put these things into food or water supplies.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Hi, NSA.  :)

Their plant here will assure them that everything discussed here is harmless. Right, Siege?

You mean Ide. The last one we'd suspect.
