“The Islamic State has no borders or map. We will expand until we occupy the world.”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 29, 2016 06:07 pm

Hard-Left journalist Michael Weiss had a chance to speak with a citizen of the Islamic State.

Kerry: Media should cover terrorism less so that “people wouldn’t know what’s going on”
