Foreign jihadists flock to Iraq, Syria on 'unprecedented scale': UN

[link to english.alarabiya.net]


More than 1,000 foreign jihadists are streaming into Syria and Iraq each month despite the ongoing international aerial military campaign there, the United States has warned.

U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials have said the U.S.-led military campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has neither deterred nor led to a surge of foreign militants travelling to Syria.

Washington (AFP) - Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel has castigated the US strategy in Syria in a memo to the White House, saying Washington must explain its intentions toward President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

.......

The Obama administration has focused on defeating the Islamic State group in Iraq first, and described US-led air strikes in Syria as a way of disrupting the jihadists' supply lines.

Washington also plans to arm and train a group of 5,000 "moderate" Syrian rebels, but has not committed to attacking Assad regime forces that threaten moderate rebel fighters.

For Western jihadists, path to ISIS runs through Turkey


ISTANBUL – For Western radicals bent on joining the Islamic State, leaving their families to go to the front lines in Syria or Iraq takes less than a few days and $1,000, and the terror group even has a blogging tour guide -- a female Scottish jihadist -- to smooth the journey.

“Prepare your pristine feet to get covered with dust,” urges 20-year-old Aqsa Mahmood, who left her family in Glasgow last November to travel to Syria to "become a martyr." From Raqqa, she has published a series of advice pieces on Tumblr for Westerners who want to follow in her footsteps.

The beaten path goes through Istanbul, an international hub in a country that straddles – both geographically and culturally – the West and the Middle East. Thousands of men and some women have dropped out of Western society to join the bloodbath, their way well-marked by predecessors.

“A large majority of foreigners joining the Islamic State are arriving in Iraq and Syria via Turkey,” said Ryan Mauro, national security analyst and adjunct professor of homeland security at the nonprofit Clarion Project, a New York-based research institute that focuses on the threat of Islamic extremism. “A flight to Turkey doesn't usually arouse suspicion because there is so much travel between Europe and Turkey.”

ALL EYES ON TURKEY; they have established the NEO~Ottoman Empire! (this is truly of Biblical proportions)

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to nuke it from space. No? Where's the problem?

"The new Turkey should assert itself with something new," he recently told reporters. "The presidential office has been arranged in a very special way, we have paid particular attention to this."

....

Erdogan, who critics accuse of inspiring a creeping Islamization in the country, has taken pains to reclaim that legacy. In an interview in 2011, he told me that it would be "self-denial" for Turkey not to embrace its Ottoman past. He went on:

We were born and raised on the land that is the legacy of the Ottoman empire. They are our ancestors. It is out of the question that we might deny that presence. Of course, the empire had some beautiful parts and some not so beautiful parts. It’s a very natural right for us to use what was beautiful about the Ottoman Empire today.

Posted this to illustrate that the Neo~Ottoman Empire is going to play a KEY role. Erdogan truly wants to rule the world, and has stated so.

Iran (which is the Biblical "Land of Shinar") holds much nuke power itself. (underground)

Believe me its a lot more than 15k Jihadis that have crossed

All of this (combined with what is going on here with the beheadings on our OWN soil) should be very alarming!!!

I do believe you, and feel the numbers are grossly understated.

The Middle East is in turmoil due to the violent and aggressive jihads (holy wars in the name of Islam) fought by ISIS, the most vicious jihadists (“holy warriors”) the world has ever seen. ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, is known for their strict interpretation of the Islamic law and targets everyone who is not a Sunni Muslim. They specialize in beheadings, mass executions, and public floggings. The nations of the world, including the United States, are coming together to destroy this terrorist group—their brutality demands justice.

Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. As the conflict with ISIS heightens, numerous American and European Muslim extremists seek to join radical groups in the Middle East and fight against the interests of the United States. In fact, known to actively recruit foreigners in their jihadist ranks, ISIS has already managed to lure in over 100 Americans and 14,000 other foreign fighters with videos romanticizing the “revolution.” - See more at: [link to ylhsthewrangler.com]

They are here, there, and everywhere.

They are wandering/wondering after them.

useful idiots


i bet 99% of them regret it within a few days,just like the fools that signed up for WW1

They think they are on the straight road to "Paradise" as soon as they spill their blood for their god and their cause, but what they do not realize is it will be their ticket straight to Hell. SO, eventually yes, they will regret it.

most Jihadists are just thugs and low moral bottom feeders that want to kill and murder people....the british and US army have these personality types as well..............

They cant wait to get their first kill..uterlly PATHETIC...

Yes, you know a tree by the fruit it produces. Indeed.

AC 58130525 from the UK. Haven't the Islamic "forces" taken over most of the churches there and converted them to mosques? I have seen videos of much fighting and discontent where you are. True?

I wish many millions more would go and leave our western countries! Maybe there will finally be less robberies of grandma's, rapes of our women, murders.

Thing is ...when these jihadists see someone get their head blown off and realize they will be kicked to death and tortured if they fall in to the hands of the enemy suddenly its not so much fun any more...thats when they wet themselves...they desrve it though...f2cking w2nkers

In the entire Middle East, Turkey now has only two allies: Qatar, which looks more like a rich, family-owned gas station than a state; and Hamas, a terrorist organization. But Turkey has a rich menu of hostilities: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, (discreetly) Jordan, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, (as always) Cyprus, (now) Tunisia, (also discreetly) Morocco and Algeria, and (most warring factions of) Libya.

In an April 2012 speech, then Foreign Minister Davutoglu defined Turkey's policy goal as: "On the historic march of our holy nation, the AK Party signals the birth of a global power and the mission for a new world order. This is the centenary of our exit from the Middle East... whatever we lost between 1911 and 1923, whatever lands we withdrew from, from 2011 to 2023 we shall once again meet our brothers in those lands. This is a ... historic mission."

Even though it appears that "The New Ottoman Empire" has lost many friends, I can assure you they will be huge players in this. I saw an article the other day that he literally wants to rule the world. He is also behind a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR MOSQUE that was set to open in Lanham, VA which is a stone's throw away from our Capital.

load of rubbish,sure a few churches have been converted in to mosques but churches out number mosques 50 to 1 in the UK


I think there will be civil unrest tho,its bubbling away there is no doubt about that!

Turkey Stakes Claim in America With $100 Million Mega-Mosque


(WAY less than 50%)

The government of Turkey is building a 15-acre, $100 million mega-mosque in Lanham, Maryland. Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan visited the site on May 15 as part of his official visit to the U.S.. The state of Maryland was officially represented at the event by its Secretary of State John McDonough.

The event was also attended by the leaders of two U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entities.

The mega-mosque is called the Turkish American Culture and Civilization Center and, according to the Muslim Link, it “will likely become the largest and most striking examples of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere” when it is finished in 2014. The Muslim Link explicitly says it is “a project of the government of Turkey.”


Turkey clearly is a major player in this.

They don't have nuclear weapons, Israel does and everybody knows it.

so is the USA and EU nations "leaders"..they planned and created this mess

no one knows what Iran has,this is a country with a space program

You are mistaken regarding the Land of Shinar.

Darkhovin, also variously referred to as Ahvaz, Darkhouin, Esteghlal, and Karun, is located on the Karun River south of the city of Ahvaz. A facility at this location is reportedly under the control of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, and is said to be suspected of being an underground nuclear weapons facility of unspecified nature. The most detailed and apparently least reliable reports of Iran’s weapons programs are from the People's Mujahideen, a violent anti-regime group, including the claim that China provided uranium enrichment equipment and technicians for the facility.
