And that is my point. So what portion of the population is not the everyday Islamic nut that hates anyone is not a Muslim. Think of it as a Venn diagram. There is no intersection that IDs non-hating Islamists, IMO. Hence the exercise in futility.

But hey, it's PC!

PS: no linkage to a vetted group - yet. Just wait.

But I was referring to the CIAs PC exercise in "vetting" Islamists on our side (excuse the oxymoron). Not referring to my opinions - they're only C not PC.

On Sunday, June 23 the Syrian priest François Murad was killed in Gassanieh, in northern Syria, in the convent of the Custody of the Holy Land where he had taken refuge. This is confirmed by a statement of the Custos of the Holy Land sent to Fides Agency. The circumstances of the death are not fully understood. According to local sources, the monastery where Fr. Murad was staying was attacked by militants linked to the jihadi group Jabhat al-Nusra.

And what does this have to do with training or arming fighters? Post links and information that is supportive or counter to the thread topic.

We all know that there are fanatics out there doing terrible things.

I saw that too. FID plain and simple. Training foreign fighters in a third neutral country. Good plan IMO. Did exactly that wrt the Cambodes in RVN '72. We are following the same plan now wrt Syria.
