Someone re-released a threat previously released from the terrorist group ISIS in September telling followers to "rise up and kill intelligence officers, police officers, soldiers, and civilians". The threat called out the US, France, Australia and Canada as targets. In the US, the New York City Police Department and other law enforcement personnel were told to stay alert on patrol. France was hit with three days of terror after three suspects killed 17 civilians in multiple attacks last week. More than 1,000 police officers and civilian analysts are assigned to a counter-terrorism mission every day.

How concerned do you think our country should be about this threat?
Do you think we're handling this situation in the right way?

Good job overall! Be sure to hyperlink correctly and reply more frequently.
Our country should be pretty concerned with this. ISIS is a real terrorist group and should be handled right away.
I think our country should be pretty concerned and take this seriously because we do not need another type of attack like 911 to happen again.
I think we should be more concerned because The longer we wait the more people and resources they acquire.Who knows how many apart of this organization are in the u.s.It may be best just to monitor the groups actions for now.
I agree, time is of the essence to say but we don't know exactly how to find the people of this organization and stop their terror.
I think we should be concerned since ISIS is worse than Al Qaeda and and will carry out this threat. I do think it is good that we have more than 1,000 police officers and civilians working at analyzing the data. Analyzing it is just one step in making the US safer against the attacks
Killing people or no reason I think is stupid and kind of bothers me it just is not right. I think we are a threat to people so we should be a little worried.
I think our country should be worried because we are the US and that makes us a major target.
Reading this makes me mad. Killing innocent people more for the fun of it is idiotic. I think our country should be worried to a certain degree because the U.S. is a major target. I think we need to be more strict when handling these situations because this is an unethical thing to do.
I see. Another post had had the killing of 2,000 civilians in Africa by a different group, and that is really sad. Think of what would happen if 2,000 American civilians got killed.
