Turkey's "Foreign" Citizens

For most
Islamists, there is no difference between the words "Israel,"
"the Israeli government," "Jew" or "Turkish
Jew:" they are all the same, and are all regarded with hostility.
In 2008, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's official news agency,
Wafa, reported that Israel had released poison-resistant rats to drive Arab
residents of Jerusalem out of their homes. Scientists are still trying to understand
how rats are trained to distinguish between Muslim, Christian and Jewish
residents of a city.
In 2011, Saudi Arabia announced that it had "detained" a
vulture carrying an Israeli leg band. The griffon vulture was carrying a GPS
transmitter bearing the name of Tel Aviv University, and was condemned for
being a part of a "Zionist espionage plot." We are still waiting to
hear if the bird was beheaded or sentenced to life in prison.
Also in 2011, one of the two Turkish celebrities, who had been accused
of raping prostitutes, defended himself by saying that the whole incident was
"an Israeli plot against him."
UK Salafist Group Linked to British ISIS Fighters

"Islamic
radicals [are] hiding behind the scenes, influencing the minds of young
people. ... Someone is persuading them, brainwashing them." — Ahmed
Muthana, father of the jihadist Muthana brothers.
Mehdi Hassan is the fourth British man from the coastal city of
Portsmouth to be killed while fighting for ISIS in Syria. Hassan was just 19
when he left with four friends for Syria in October 2013. They named
themselves the "Britani Brigade Bangladeshi Bad Boys." Four of the
five have been killed.
Much of the media has, over the last few years, attempted to explain why
British Muslims are being radicalized, and why some wish to fight for a
terror group known and feared for its brutality.
Some commentators blame the darker corners of the internet; some point
to the supposed glamour and glory of war, and others attribute part of the
blame to "government policy" and the "persecution" felt
by British Muslims living in a country allegedly full of "anti-Islamic
feeling."
