Reporter: QUICK

QUESTION: ISIS, DO YOU KNOW

WHAT ISIS IS?

I DO.

I'VE HEARD OF THEM.

I KNOW IT'S A TERRORIST

GROUP IN THE MIDDLE EAST

SOMEWHERE.

A BUNCH OF THUGS,

TERRORISTS.

THUGS.

MAINLY, I THINK THEY'RE JUST

THUGS.

Reporter: DO YOU KNOW

WHAT ISIS IS?

THE BEVERAGE?

Reporter: NO, NOT A

BEVERAGE.

IT'S A TERRORIST GROUP.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ISIS?

I DO.

Reporter: WHAT DO YOU

KNOW?

I KNOW THEY'RE A

TERRORIST GROUP OVERSEAS AND

THEY'RE KIND OF A THREAT

AROUND THE WORLD AND THAT

THEY'RE KILLING CHRISTIANS.

Reporter: ISIS, WHAT DO

YOU THINK OF THAT?

I DON'T THINK VERY MUCH

OF THEM.

Reporter: WHY?

THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS

VIOLATIONS, THE THINGS THAT

HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THE

MEDIA.

THEIR TREATMENT OF WOMEN.

THEY'RE BAD.

Reporter: RECENTLY THEY

SAID THEY WERE GOING TO BE

GOING AROUND CREATING

TERRORIST ACTS AND BOMBING

OF MALLS AND SO FORTH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERN

ABOUT THAT?

THERE IS DEFINITELY A

CONCERN.

A KNOW A WHILE AGO THEY WERE

DOING THE BEHEADINGS.

I WOULD DEFINITELY HATE FOR

IT TO HAPPEN HERE IN OUR

COUNTRY.

BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A

CONCERN.

Reporter: DO YOU HAVE

ANY AP HENGS APPREHENSIONS

OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT?

YES, DEFINITELY.

ESPECIALLY AFTER 9/11 AND

TH THE BOSTON MARATHON

ATTACKS.

Reporter: DO YOU HAVE

ANY CONCERNS ABOUT GETTING

ON AN AIRPORT?

NO.

Reporter: YOU DON'T?

YOU'RE FROM GERMANY?

WELL, I FEEL IT IS SO FAR

AWAY, LIKE, THE PROBLEM.

Reporter: IT IS?

THEY ARE THREATENING SO MANY

COUNTRIES.

THEY WANT TO RULE THE

WORLD.

OF COURSE.

Reporter: YOU DON'T

FEEL FEARFUL OR ANYTHING

WHEN YOU'RE MOVING AROUND,

TRAVELLING AROUND?

NO.

Reporter: WHY NOT?

BECAUSE UNTIL NOW NOTHING

EXTREME HAS HAPPENED TO ME

OR TO GERMANY.

IT IS SCARY.

WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS

BRUTAL.

AND IT IS DEFINITELY

SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU

CONCERNED, AS FAR AS A

THREAT IN OUR COUNTRY.

BUT I'M NOT PERSONALLY

THREATENED BY THAT.

Reporter: YOU'RE NOT.

ARE YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK OVERSEAS IS A BIG

THREAT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT MEN

AND WOMEN PROTECTING US

HERE.

FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK

AS LONG AS WE'RE ON U.S.

SOIL I THINK WE'RE SAFER

THAN ANYWHERE ELSE.

Reporter: DO YOU HAVE

ANY APPREHENSIONS ABOUT THEM

COMING HERE?

NO.

Reporter: NO?

WHY.

I'M DEFINITELY NOT

SCARED.

Reporter: THEY SAID

THEY MAY BLOW UP MALLS AND

ATTACK PEOPLE IN THE

STREETS.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.

Reporter: WHY NOT?

I FEEL A SENSE OF

SECURITY.

I CARRY A GUN WITH ME.

IF SOMEBODY COMES AT ME,

I'LL SHOOT THEM.

IS IT KEEPING ME FROM

GOING OUT IN PUBLIC PLACES?

Reporter: RIGHT.

NO.

OUR COMMUNITY IS AWARE,

AND WE'VE HAD SITUATIONS

WHERE THINGS DON'T LOOK

RIGHT, AND PEOPLE SPEAK UP.

BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO

HAPPEN, WHETHER IT IS ISIS

OR SOMEBODY ELSE.

I KNOW WITH MALL SHOOTINGS,

I'M FEARFUL SOMETIMES TO

TAKE MY KIDS OUT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ARE

YOU GOING TO LIVE LIFE IN

FEAR OR ARE YOU GOING TO

LIVE LIFE AND TRUST THAT

PEOPLE ARE THERE TO PROTECT

YOU.

I'M FEARFUL EVERY TIME I

GO TO NEW YORK AND GET INTO

THE SUBWAY, BUT I CAN'T LET

IT STOP ME.

Reporter: YOU'RE NOT

GOING TO BE INTIMIDATED BY

FEAR?

NO.

THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT THEY

WANT.
