Last month, FBI Director James Comey acknowledged an estimated 900 active investigations pending against suspected Islamic State-inspired operatives and other home-grown violent extremists across the country.
The majority of those inquiries involve suspected Islamic State recruits, officials said, who have either been radicalized through the terror group's aggressive social media campaign or have returned to the U.S. after being trained on battlefields in Syria and Iraq. Islamic State is also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS.
Comey has said that the number of inquiries has slowly climbed, largely due to the group's successful outreach to young, disaffected Americans.
"(Islamic State) is fueling an unprecedented tempo for law enforcement authorities combating the homegrown Islamist extremist threat,'' a House Homeland Security Committee threat assessment stated earlier this month, adding that almost 60 people have been arrested so far this year in ISIL-related cases.
Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the Homeland Committee's Republican chairman, last week called the Islamist threat a "menace'' that is increasingly challenging the capacity of counterterrorism authorities.
"As this month's terror threat snapshot illustrates, our counterterrorism and law enforcement efforts continue to be strained by these threats,'' McCaul said. "With Europe accepting possibly up to 1 million (Syrian) refugees by year's end and ISIL vowing to exploit the refugee process, our nation's law enforcement and intelligence communities may soon be stretched as we deal with that crisis and our own Syrian refugee vetting for resettlement in the United States.''
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson acknowledged McCaul's concerns.
"It is true that we're not going to know a whole lot about the Syrians that come forth in this (refugee) process,'' Johnson said last month. "That definitely is a challenge.''
Sure as hell hope you're right Oli....I am not confident though. It was a big part of his election platform.no way Canada is going to leave France hanging out there

I should add, the last time we had Libs in power...they would not go into Iraq with the U.S. They only committed to Afghanistan and wouldn't go further.Sure as hell hope you're right Oli....I am not confident though. It was a big part of his election platform.

Not certain if this is legit or not. Probably not, but I'm going to add it here for future reference just in case.
