I don't think Syria was an Islamist country but Islamists are using this opportunity.
The Islamists’ patented consanguinity technology has enabled them to produce tens of thousands of “high-tech” weapons annually — at little or no cost for the Islamists.

Once in the enemy countries the Islamists' weapons use politically correct-based stealth technology to openly carry out attacks but avoid detection.
Look here how Muslim Immigration is already creeping into our stats:
