Just look at the four fingers of ISIS into Turkey

Reader comment on item: More on Turkish Support for ISIS
in response to reader comment: erdogan is a member of the Muslim brotherhood

Submitted by Mike (United States), Aug 14, 2014 at 14:49

Your article is what I was looking for as to why there are four fingers to the Turkey border on the map of ISIS held lands. The fight between the Turkish government and Kurds might be one of the reasons the radicals in Turkey feed and support ISIS.

I believe ISIS is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood and all radical Muslims throughout the world. These links need to be proven. It is obvious that ISIS could not be as successful as it has been so far without recruiting educated people and enormous amounts of money and support . Communication between radical jihadists is made easy today with the borderless internet.
