A Twitter posting addressed to members of the Islamic State community describes the ongoing occupation by armed rancher Ammon Bundy and his fellow activists as a key opportunity, and suggests that Islamists should do what they can to help them.
It urges sympathizers of the organization also known as ISIS and ISIL to encourage the Oregon protestersusing messages sent from accounts with American-sounding namesand to suggest more targets for future take-overs.

Meanwhile, some distance has been placed between the Oregon Republican Party and the homegrown terrorists:
Harney Co. Committee Of Safety Asks Occupiers To Leave in "a peaceful, honorable fashion"
I'm going to give the Oregon Republicans a pass on this one and not check if they were in bed with ISIS or for how long before the pulled out!

And this is how some Republicans distance themselves from the ISIS-supported, Nevada-grown terrorists.

BURNS In the latest bizarre turn of events surrounding the ongoing armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge, an Oregon state legislator from outside Harney County arrived here Saturday with out-of-state elected officials in tow and met with the protesters.
Oregon Rep. Cliff Bentz, a Republican from Ontario, and Harney County Judge Steven E. Grasty said that they tried to warn state Rep. Dallas Heard against traveling to Burns. But Heard, a Republican from Roseburg, arrived anyway, they said, and brought officials elected to state office in Washington, Idaho and Nevada with him.
