Sorry, UMC, but that's crazy. The Islamic state was created by the Saudis and the Qataris. These are rabid Sunnis who kill Shias and Christians.

Do you have evidence for Saudi control/creation of ISIS? There is reason to believe the Russians have their hands all over Islamic terrorism (and terrorism in general) across the world. Many KGB/FSB defectors have long warned us that the USSR (and now the Russian Federation) considers Islamic terrorism a legitimate weapon to use against the West. Alexander Litvinenko, for example, pointed the finger explicitly at Ayman Al-Zawahiri as an agent of the FSB. Others, such as Pacepa, have also put the existence of Al-Qaeda into the arms of Russia.

That's not to say other countries might not have some involvement as well-- though, countries like Syria, Iraq, Iran, all have intelligence services modeled after the KGB-- their original benefactors in the first place.

Yes -- the Islamic State follows Wahabbiism, the state sect of the Saudis. It was also funded by the Saudis and the Qataris (and still is). It was also set up as th eSunni answer to the Shia crescent -- and the Sunni answer is in SAudia and Qatar's favor and against Russia.

The Russians don't support Sunni terrorists for the simple reason that those are a threat to 'Mother Russia" herself and that they won't allow.

SHIA terrorists like the Hizb-allah are another matter -- the Ruskies support those via Iran no doubt.
