You have the right to remain silent...
 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....

...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....

The members infiltrated into Turkey with help of three Kurdish organizations including the Democratic Union Party (PYD) ’s military arm, Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which are labelled in Turkey as terrorists, and the Kurdistan Communities Union.
Right. The evil Kurds dunnit, you say. No further proof is needed that the entire people is evil incarnate, and the world must join Turkey in wiping them from the face of the Earth.

He also confessed that he was one of the founders of Jama’at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad in 2004, in addition to taking part in several operations by al-Qaeda in Iraq.
