House Homeland Security Chairman: ISIS Is Waging a Propaganda War, and Lone Wolves Show ‘They’re Winning’

Representative Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said that the attacks in Canada and New York City last week by alleged Muslim radicals are “the face of self-radicalization” at home. Such terrorists, he said, are extremely hard to catch, but they constitute “one of the greatest threats” the U.S. faces from terrorism, McCaul said. The Islamic State is running a campaign, he said, to radicalize Americans at home via Internet propaganda.

Islamic terrorists “are waging a campaign of war against the West and the United States, and these are three examples, just last week, of where they’re winning,” he said.
