| 2016-10-27 |
| [Ynet] Analysis: The ISIS military modus operandi in Iraq, which consists of offensive tunnels, snipers and special forces designed to take over communities and hinder coalition aerial bombardments, will likely be emulated by Hezbollah and Hamas during their next conflict with Israel.

| #4 Islamic State will beat us (unless Trump gets in) and i will tell you why in my country it is now illegal for me to make fun of Mohammad with a satirical cartoon if it offends a Muslim i can be dragged through the courts you are not able to criticise Islamist theocratic fascism or you will be called "racist Islamophobe" and ostracised, maybe lose your job and friends now what environment does this create? a safe space for Islamists to base themselves, lobby for more friendly policies and send fighters and $ to the Caliphate and saudi money keeps pouring in to the universities here, the schools etc and this will continue until we STOP IT and when will that be? when we either get a leader who isn't bought (Trump) or we have significant civil unrest |
