Militants in Syria attract 31,000 foreign fighters: Ex-UK spy chief
[AlAhram] Syria has become the pre-eminent global incubator for a new generation of turbans after Islamist groups more than doubled the recruitment of imported muscle to as much as 31,000 over the past 18 months, according to a former British spy chief.In the chaos of Syria's civil war, the majority of imported muscle end up in Lion of Islam groups like Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... , which uses an extreme interpretation of Islam to justify attacks on its foes and impose highly repressive rule in large swathes of Syria and neighbouring Iraq that it has captured.
