How Does The Islamic State Fund Itself? Here’s How
Ongoing developments in the South China Sea, the Ukraine, and Gaza all present very real dangers and risks to our global economic and political landscape. That said, I think most people might agree that the perilous situation playing out within the Islamic state in Iraq and surrounding locales is like nothing we have ever seen before.
If you do not think so, in order to gain a better appreciation for the mindset of those occupying and terrorizing this region, you may want to view the murder of journalist James Foley. God bless him and his family. I caution you that this video clip is particularly gruesome and some may not care to view it. That said, I think it is important that people know just how vicious this group known as ISIL actually is. (Thanks to our friends at No Quarter for highlighting that clip and sharing it.)

ISIL is not only vicious but they are well organized and well financed. This 5-minute Bloomberg clip addresses how the Islamic State is funding itself.
In what may be the biggest understatement ever written at this blog, the risks of this terrorist group present a very real danger to all of us on many levels.

Its easy to blame Obama and point the finger at the US. Too often the U.S is turned upon to be the policeman of the world. ISIS is the free world's concern not just the US's. What we need is a global coalition including Arab countries to come together to fight this barbaric enemy of the free world.
