The Guardian: American Isis suspect stuck on border 'not our problem', says Erdoğan

Alleged militant deported as part of Turkey’s drive to expel foreign jihadists in its custody

An alleged American member of Islamic State, stranded for a second day on the border between Greece and Turkey after Turkey expelled him, is “not our problem”, the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has said.

The man, named by the Turkish news agency Demiroren as Muhammed Darwis B, is believed to be a US citizen of Jordanian descent. He was deported on Monday as part of Turkey’s controversial new policy to deport foreign jihadists in its custody.

It is a good lesson to those who should decide, in the future to flock to similar organizations, to remain at home and await the call to arms, locally.

You have to wonder what will happen when the border crossings become overcrowded with these people, their "wives" and "kids" as regards humanitarian organizations, when starvation and depravation looms and of course relative to other legitimate travelers.

Europe has brought this problem upon themselves. They've sanguinely allowed an invasion of hostile foreigners into their nations. They've allowed them to segregate themselves, provided them with enormous welfare benefits and allowed them to indoctrinate themselves in violent Islamic radicalism.

The invaders leave to commit heinous war crimes in other lands then demand re-entry. Knowing Erdogan, he may let these people starve - which would serve them right.

My bet is that the EU will either cave and allow these animals back in - or up the extortion paid to Erdogan to the billions of dollars per year.

Got to hand it to Erdogan. He has his eye on the ball.

Too bad the smug, one-armed juggler has more than 1 ball to contend with.

When they were "winning" there was one tune, now.....
Studies show, despite the behavior of ISIS, there was a broad swath of a typical society from college degrees to obvious mentally out there types. And despite the extreme behavior nearly all accepted and approved of the group. As Bob said of other soldiers it was a job and for some that was true, I'm sure. I'm also sure initially they reveled in the slaughter. Then the tide turned.
I've said before they should be put to work removing rubble and other restorative work. A reconstruction job.
