I know it's Newsweek.....but I reckon they did a decent job on it.

I know Turkey is dealing with some nasty anti-secular momentum and the emasculation of the Turkish military's power to protect Ataturk's reforms and prevent the return of the caliphate.

But it's a bit of a shocker to read this article.

While a lot of it is to be expected(government tacit support , vulnerable underclass, and islamic civil war on the border), the volume of recruiting in Turkey is frightening.

And leaves me thinking Turkey might someday go full retard caliphate, or iron fisted total war Algeria.

I could see how Sahin Aktan's ex wife could be recruited into ISIS reading between the lines.

But a 25 year old Kyrgyz Christian chick going full retard ISIS, damaged goods/socially vulnerable or not, is Invasion of the Body Snatchers kind of spooky.

I'm aware a few girls in the US have done the same and been pinched(they seem to fit the same damaged goods/socially vulnerable/easily recruitable ).

I'v got my own opinions on things, but without being an SME on the topic.....I'm pretty confident pretty much everyone seems to be doing it wrong based on open source.

Who(if anyone) is doing it right?

I can understand on how a male is recruited into ISIL or into any Islamic movement. The bigger issue is how they can get females to leave their homes and families. That is the surprising one. Yes you could be right on the lines on how “same damaged goods/socially vulnerable/easily recruitable.” Just as a Drug dealer or Pimp will make a Girl “Work” for him or her.

The article that TR posted about their funding and drive behind it, makes for me of a reason. But Still.
