Turkey Struggles With Spillover As Syrian Kurds Battle Islamic State
2014-09-23
[Ynet] Syrian Kurds battled to defend a key border town from an 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 advance on Monday as Kurdish youths from neighbouring Turkey rushed to their aid, heightening the pressure on Ankara to act against the Islamist bully boys.

In Turkey, which is struggling to manage an influx of more than 130,000 Syrian Kurdish refugees since Friday, security forces fired tear gas and water cannon at hundreds of Kurdish protesters who accuse Ankara of favouring Islamic State against the Kurds.

The main Kurdish gang in northern Syria, the YPG, said its fighters had halted the Islamic State advance east of the predominantly Kurdish town of Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, but that fierce fighting was continuing.

#1  See also REUTERS, TOPIX > KURDS WELCOME AIRSTRIKES ON "ISLAMIC STATE", BUT CURSE TURKEY'S ABSENCE.

Again, besides the future Islamic Mahdi/Hidden Imam the threat from the ISIS Caliphate lays in its super-hardline influence potens destabilizing + usurping the secular ideologies of Rising Iran + so-called Neo-Ottoman Turkey.

Besides Iran [Syria-Lebanon], TURKEY is also surrounded at the moment by NATO-EU, Vlad = Russia, + China in Iraq, so its likely safe to say that any ISIS-influenced Turkey years to "escape the ring".

IN THE END, HOWEVER, ISIS-INFLUENCED TURKEY WILL BREAK THE RING.

THE TIME TO STOP OR CHANGE THE ABOVE IS N-O-W.
