ISIS' claim of responsibility for the shooting in Garland, Texas, was proof of its ability to capitalize on terrorist sympathizers globally who can pull off so-called lone wolf attacks. This marks the first time ISIS (also known as Islamic State) claimed credit for an attack inside the United States. A White House spokesman said Tuesday that it was too early to determine whether the terror group was directly involved. Reportedly, a self-styled American jihadist called Abu Ibrahim al-Ameriki said that Sunday's terror attack in Texas was the work of ISIS and that the terrorist group has scores of "trained soldiers" positioned in 15 states, awaiting orders to kill. The chilling threat went on record naming five of the states where it claimed that ISIS has terror cells in place. The reality of the Garland attack is that even with the CIA, DIA, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, local police, the U.S. Border Patrol, and other agencies and individuals involved in the security of this nation, the operation was only foiled when the gunmen encountered a police officer with a basic service revolver and good training. There is much we take for granted here in the U.S. Imagine being a Christian who does not have this basic security apparatus that protects U.S. citizens. Imagine a place where there is no CIA, DIA, FBI, nor any support security agency or network to detect and protect you against terrorists. Imagine that you are a woman displaced from your home after your husband was beheaded, or a man whose wife is raped and shot, or a parent whose child is kidnapped and sold into a harem, or a young mother who has to resort to prostitution to feed her baby. Imagine that there is no 911 service to call when evil men come to your door; that there is no one who will answer your cries for help. Imagine that you have no military and or police force to detain bad people or fight back on your behalf and protect you from those hell bent on killing. Imagine that ISIS is attacking your community on a daily basis with armored vehicles, 120mm mortars, 81 mm mortars, suicide bombers, and using drones to scout out your positions. Imagine that you
