"Mr President, a mosque in Kuwait, a factory in France and a beach in Tunisia – there should be little to connect these three disparate places, but following the devastating attacks on 26 June 2015, they will forever be linked in infamy. All of the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks were somehow linked to ISIS in terms of its poisonous ideology.
One year on from the lightning advance of ISIS, the group is becoming a more permanent fixture, tragically and unfortunately, of the map of the Middle East. On the same day, and months after the liberation of Kobane had been celebrated, ISIS carried out one of its most deadly massacres to date, storming the city and executing up to 250 civilians, many of whom were children.
These attacks illustrate that, by allowing ISIS to establish a foothold in Iraq and Syria, a new magnet for jihadi terrorism has been created. We became used to understanding, in the past, international terrorist activities of the al-Qaida model, based on perceived grievances, no matter how unjustified. But now ISIS offers a new, more brutal, territorial death cult model, in which terrorist attacks are more firmly based on attacking religious beliefs and minority individuals, and they are more involved in attacking these people than in attacking the state.
Whilst clearly we need to do more in the European Union to ensure that our societies remain vigilant and develop means to detect and prevent radicalisation and recruitment, we also need to have enhanced domestic security measures, such as the passenger name records (PNR) system for aviation, and better internet monitoring of terrorist activities. Ultimately, however, we must also take the fight against evil ISIS everywhere, particularly militarily in Syria, Iraq and Libya."@en1
