CONTROVERSIAL cyber security expert John McAfee believes the third World War will be fought online and religious extremist group Islamic State could defeat the West.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/religious-extremism-could-trigger-world.html">Days after technology billionaire Elon Musk cautioned that World War III could erupt at any time</a>, cyber security expert John McAfee has claimed Islamic State could win.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr McAfee – the anti-virus software creator – has warned the United States and the West are only prepared for traditional warfare, not an online war.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has claimed our "arsenal of bullets, bombs, tanks, planes, boats, missiles and our nuclear capabilities" will be of no use in future global conflicts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anonymous <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/isis-fights-back-against-anonymous.html">recently declared war on Islamic State</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"No one can predict the future," he wrote in an article for the <em><a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/john-mcafee-we-have-created-cyberwar-doomsday-machine-that-isis-can-turn-against-us-1533324" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">International Business Times</a></em>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We can make educated guesses or, more prudently, explore the different possibilities and scenarios. And for a scenario of cyber war we are woefully unprepared – one could even say defenceless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What good will tanks, planes and missiles be if you cannot locate the enemy to engage them? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"And what will the outlook be for us as the enemy takes down massive pieces of our infrastructure at will, without ever setting foot on our shores?"</div>
