Are there Islamic extremist groups operating in the U.S. right now? Yes.

Police in the United States have charged a 71-year-old man with murder and hate crime for fatally stabbing a six-year-old boy and seriously wounding his 32-year-old mother, alleging he singled out the victims because of their faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas.

Are there Islamic extremist groups operating in the U.S. right now?

Yes.


The FBI has a list of designated foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). This list includes several Islamic extremist groups, such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hezbollah.


The FBI also has a list of domestic terrorist groups. This list includes several Islamic extremist groups, such as the Nation of Islam and the Black Hebrew Israelites. However, it is important to note that these groups are not designated as FTOs.


They are also aware of several other Islamic extremist groups that are operating in the United States. These groups are not designated as FTOs and they are not on the FBI's list of domestic terrorist groups. However, the FBI is monitoring these groups and the FBI is working to prevent them from carrying out attacks in the United States.


The FBI does not release information about all of the Islamic extremist groups that it is monitoring. This is because the FBI does not want to give these groups any attention or publicity. The FBI also does not want to jeopardize any ongoing investigations.


There are several news articles that identify Islamic extremist groups in the United States. Here are a few examples:


"FBI: 100 Islamic Extremist-Inspired Attacks in US Since 9/11" (NBC News, 2016)


"Islamic Extremist Groups Operating in the United States" (The Atlantic, 2017)


"The Islamic State Threat to the United States" (Council on Foreign Relations, 2017)


"The Rise of Domestic Islamic Extremism" (The New York Times, 2018)


"Islamic Extremist Groups in the United States: A Primer" (The Brookings Institution, 2019)


These articles provide information on the various Islamic extremist groups that are operating in the United States, including their goals, tactics, and membership. They also discuss the threat that these groups pose to the United States and the efforts that are being made to counter them.


If you have any information about Islamic extremist groups operating in the United States, you should contact the FBI immediately. You can report information to the FBI online or by calling the FBI's toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.


If you see something, 

say something.

My wife was only 32 when she died of metastatic breast cancer

Image
It was only 5 years after we found a lump in her breast.  She was a laboratory technologist in the hospital lab at the time and our medical insurance was good.  To give her the best chance, they gave her both chemotherapy and radiation to the area where the tumor had been found after surgery.  Our son was 1 1/2 years old at the time of the diagnosis and spent a lot of time at his grandmother's house during her treatments.  I went with her each time she received chemo and went through her nausea and vomiting with her after each course. In time they tattooed a tiny dot on her breast in order to guide the radiation to the right area and completed the radiation treatments.  She began recovering and within months had returned to her job at the lab. We both raised our son and went about our lives, hopeful. They did tests for tumor markers monthly without apparent return of the cancer.  One day, 5 years from the beginning she felt bad and was hospitalized. The tum...

Contemplating Mortality: A Cross-Cultural Exploration of Death and Dying

Image
Introduction: The contemplation of death has been a central concern of human thought throughout history.  Philosophers, theologians, and spiritual leaders across cultures have grappled with the profound questions surrounding mortality:  What happens after death? How should we live in light of our inevitable demise?  This treatise will explore diverse perspectives on death and dying, drawing from Western philosophical traditions, Eastern spiritual practices, and contemporary psychological insights.  We will examine how different cultures and belief systems approach the inevitability of death, and how these perspectives shape our understanding of life and our place in the world. 1. Western Perspectives:  * Pascal's Wager: Blaise Pascal, a 17th-century French philosopher and mathematician, famously argued that the most rational course of action is to believe in God, even if the evidence is uncertain.  This "Pascal's Wager" stems from the existentia...

chemo

Image
  The chemo cocktail churns, a metallic serpent coiling in my gut, its venom rising, a bitter tide. The sterile air, a canvas for the symphony of beeps, a haunting counterpoint to the hollowness inside. My reflection mocks from the steel embrace of the chair, a gaunt caricature, eyes hollowed, skin the hue of despair. Each breath a labored rasp, a dry leaf skittering on stone, as the serpent writhes, promising oblivion's unknown. Sleep, a fragile escape, crumbles into a twisted dream. A figure cloaked in midnight strides across the barren plains, his scythe a crescent moon, casting an inky sheen on the cracked and thirsty earth, mirroring my ravaged veins. The Grim Reaper, eyes smoldering embers in the gloom, a silent judge, his gaze a pronouncement of impending doom. His skeletal hand reaches, cold and sure, to claim my soul, but a spark of defiance flares, a flicker to regain control. I lunge, a frail wisp against the night's cold embrace, but the figure fades, leaving on...
