As militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) push further into Iraq, new scrutiny is being given to the threat posed by the growing number of Western fighters who have joined the ranks of the Sunni militant group.

The emergence of thousands of Western fighters inside of ISIS — fighters who hold foreign passports and require no visas to enter the United States — reflects an array of factors. --SNIP-- Although precise figures are hard to verify, the number of Westerners now fighting alongside militants in Iraq and Syria has by all accounts surged.

Frontline obviously never did a story about millions of third-world islamists being invited to take up residence in western countries.

Those aren't westerners, they are terrorists we made into citizens.

I can’t tell the difference between Mainstream Media anti-American propaganda and Islamic anti-American propaganda.

These Obama voters probably went to Northern Iraq to escape the high taxes the people they voted for imposed on them and thought they were at an Occupy Wall Street camp.

Pillage, rape and plunder! What’s not to like? No one calls you on it and all you have to do is stick your butt in the air five times a day.

“Progressives” share the fundamental philosophies of islam.

Hatred of the West, post industrial society and a demand for a strong one party centralized government.

It’s because these countries invited them in, in the first place. The first allegiance every Muslim has is to the Quaran. Not their adopted country. And, if by some rule of fate, that country produces more Muslims than any other people, I will guarantee you that they will be demanding “SHARIA” law in that country. And should the different people in that country objects, they will be forced to become Muslims or die.

It’s PBS. Always trying to avoid the real issues.

Open borders, a cessation of the requirement of assimilating to American values, moral degradation in the West that it is so bad people’s souls cry out for limits, even if that’s Islam.

That’s easy I am surprised no one is talking about it.

It is the “Blame America First” Lamestream media.

Anyone every notice that every terrorist since Bin Laden sounds like he is reading the NY Times editorial page?

Which is also the Democratic talking points...

This is not use a problem with US citizens becoming Jihadists, but this is how they are able to recruit worldwide.

They are not Westerners. It doesn’t matter where they were born or what citizenship they hold. They are not Westerners. They are Mohammedan barbarians for whom western civilization, any civilization, is anathema.

I’d much rather they be in theater potentially taking hits than living here.

Its what happens when we substitute a sonnet by a 19th century socialite from Greeenwich Village for a real immigration policy.
