This ISIS Scam Is Circulating Facebook — Don’t Be A Sucker

Antonio J. Newell
Threats from ISIS and Syrian-refugee paranoia are at an all-time high. Unfortunately, there are people who’ll attempt to take advantage of such buzzworthy events and situations for a few seconds in the limelight. Consider yourself advised.

WORLDWIDE — As you know, there’s speculation that Islamic terrorists are attempting to smuggle themselves across our borders via Syrian refugee disguise. Well, it’d be worse if they’d further disguise themselves as working-class members of our society, right? That’s the foundation of the alarm that’s currently circulating Facebook. It reads as follows:

Homeland Security alert after ISIS-Syrian refugee current events unfold.

However, what people may not know is that this is actually a false alarm being rehashed from the 9/11 attacks, as reports Snopes. Simply put, someone revamped the date and made it relevantly viral once again, although it hasn’t happened.

YET…

Let’s not totally discount the possible legitimacy of the idea. Maybe infiltration wouldn’t be via UPS disguises, but there’s definitely relevancy to this precaution. Islamic terrorist smugglees could buy anything from eBay today, and all they’d need are prepaid debit cards to do so. To top it off, they wouldn’t even have to place their information in the “required data” — as if they would, in the first place.

It would be nothing for ISIS to be untraceable via internet purchases.

Relevantly, as you’ve probably heard by now, some of the refugees have “gone missing” after having made it into the United States, as previously reported. It’s bad enough that we, as Americans, sometimes don’t even know our neighbors the way we think we do. Some turn out to be murderers, rapists, molesters, etc. — all right under our noses. So, would we be able to tell the difference among a sketchy-looking neighbor, an Islamic terrorist in disguise, or an Americanized national who speaks adequate English? Nope. Probably not.
Allowing Syrian refugees into the States in such large, untraceable numbers is something like allowing new code — laced with strands of Trojan Horse data — into a computer. While all data looks as if it belongs and is functional, you wouldn’t know there are hostile codes until they activate once inside.

Sure, there are widows and orphans, as President Obama has stated. They are surely in need of help, and my heart goes out to them. However, as we’ve seen, there’s also been women willing to blow themselves up in the name of Islam as well.

Unfortunately, if you look at any of the refugee photos or videos, there are a lot of men within those mixes. As a matter of fact, it’s a disproportionate number of men, and not just any men, but young, military aged males. In other words, grown-ass men…none of which are orphans or widows and none of which seemed to care too much about the women and children they left behind.

Not Syrian widows nor orphans

What happens once they’re into the country, undocumented, and groups of them “go missing”? The UPS rehash doesn’t look so fictitious from that perspective, right? And don’t think for one second we are giving them any ideas — they’ve already thought about it.

Unlike you or I, Islamic terrorists have grown up with one goal in mind — bringing about the Caliphate and Islamic world domination. Doesn’t seem so far-fetched to think they’d consider grabbing a suit that would give them a means to carry boxes into buildings…but these packages will pack a lot of punch — in the form of explosives.

The takeaway from all this? Whether the warning at this time is a scam or not, be diligent.
