That doesn't look like a "junior varsity" team to me.

When You See the Size of ISIS’ Army, You’ll Realize the Real Threat They Pose

The Islamic State (IS) terror group has been growing at a tremendous rate ever since they took over portions of Syria and Iraq and declared an Islamic caliphate, brutalizing non-Muslims and instilling a reign of terror in the region.
Al Jazeera is reporting that a monitoring group has said that the extremist army has grown to a size of more than 50,000 fighters in Syria and last month alone recruited more than 6,000 new members, and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down. According to the UK-Based group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, IS’ recruitment push continues to gain momentum every month.
“July saw the largest recruitment since the group appeared in Syria in 2013, with more than 6,000 new fighters,” the director of SOHR, Rami Abdel Rahman, said.
“The number of IS fighters has passed 50,000 in Syria, including 20,000 non-Syrians,” he said.



Al Jazeera said that they weren’t able to independently verify the numbers from the observatory group; however, they’re reporting that a source within IS seemed to back their figures and also revealed they have another 30,000 jihadists currently in Iraq.
IS has made a name for itself through its savage acts perpetrated upon both the civilian population and military fighters; crucifying, beheading and conducting mass executions of everyone who opposes them. Their push across the two nations hasn’t appeared to slow much despite American efforts to stop them by using airstrikes, which have only appeared to embolden the extremists.
Immediately after the first airstrikes, members of the group posted sinister messages to social media, threatening Americans abroad and our homeland. Representatives of the group have also released several videos with messages to America, warning it to back down or face consequences, one of which was the beheading of an American photojournalist that was released yesterday.
The video showing the beheading of journalist James Foley contained yet another message to America, warning they have become a full-scale “Islamic army” and that any aggression towards them is an act of aggression towards Muslims around the world.



“So any attempt by you Obama, to deny the Muslims their rights of living in safety under the Islamic Caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people,” the speaker in the video said.
The end of the video showed another journalist who had been captured by the name of Steven Sotloff. The militants warned Obama that his next decision would determine the fate of the imprisoned man and threatened to kill him.



It would appear as if the “junior varsity” [quoting Obama] terrorist group could very well become a serious threat to the rest of the world if they’re not stopped. Perhaps it’s time to take them a little bit more seriously since they’ve proven they have the will, and the ability, to continue their press across the Middle East.
