Narrative #1 sounds like the common occurrence I read the Jeds successfully dealt with in 1944 France.

Or the Hekmatyar network in AfPAK.

Internal factional fighting and jockeying for relative post conflict positioning.

From one of the articles attached to OP...QUICK somebody better tell Obama...if they want to be retired by VALJARR shortly after that conversation...

Introduction
"The Islamic State (IS) is the most powerful, ruthless, horrific and well-funded terrorist group in recent history. Not only has IS managed to take and control a signi ficant swathe of territory, it has become a de-facto state. Since their 2014 claim of establishing a Caliphate, IS has also unleashed an unprecedented and prolific social media recruiting drive that has enabled them to attract up to 30,000 foreign fighters from more than one hundred countries. A steady stream of fighters continues to enter Syria and Iraq on a daily basis - with some estimates placing their number at over one thousand new recruits per month.[1] In addition, IS has created a “brand” that has been exported to over twenty hotspots around the globe. As IS has arisen - seemingly out of nowhere - to become a powerful foe, the West has struggled to comprehend and understand how to e ffectively counter it."

If you read the whole thing, you would come across this:

Abu Jamal estimated that Akçakale Refugee Camp had approximately thirty thousand refugees, mostly Arabs.
He said that in the Kobani battle it was found that many of the killed IS members were actually carrying
Akçakale Camp ID’s on their body. He went on to state that there are around twenty quarters in the Akçakale
Camp with each having it’s own mosque with its own Arabic imam or some other unofficial preacher. Jamal
stated that some of them recruit for IS inside the camp. As a result young boys leave the camps to join IS.
“These sheikhs preach that jihad is fard ayn [a mandatory individual responsibility] for every Syrian man
according to Islam, as Syria is in war,” Abu Jamal declared. Likewise he insisted when we interviewed him
that the IS recruiters pressure and threaten men to join without the camp authorities knowing they are doing
so. “They ensure you that if you die in battle, that they will take care of your family. If you do not want to join
IS then you have to flee the camp. They will not let you alone.”

Again, anyone who supports taking these Syrian refugees need to demonstrate if they truly believe in the cause by eating M&M out of a bowl that contains one HCN-laced M&M

Was talking to a Hausfrau the other day about conditions in Germany. She's from Frankfurt. Her relatives who live in small towns are scared out of their mind with more refugees showing up. The towns have absolutely no say in the matter. She lamented how Merkel is supposed to represent the people. I guess Bundesrat und Bundesstaat don't allow provision like the US where individual state can refuse rapefugees. Needless to say, she supports US' not taking any in.
