Syria's foreign jihadis: Where do they come from?

At least two Americans have been killed in Syria, and the video of James Foley's beheading is narrated by a man who seems to have a London accent, raising fears about the number of American and British Muslims going to fight in Syria. But do the U.S. and UK have the greatest problems? CNN crunched the numbers from 25 countries that have given official estimates of how many have gone to fight.
More than 11,000 people have traveled from abroad to fight in Syria, officials suggest, although some have gone back home again. They ally themselves with different factions, and sometimes change loyalties as groups merge, disband or change allegiances. Naturally, countries with bigger Muslim populations tend to send the largest number of fighters. Viewing this on mobile? Click here to see a larger version of this map.
But some countries with relatively small Muslim populations have sent a disproportionately large number of jihadis. Finland and Ireland have the highest number of foreign fighters per capita -- nearly one per 1,400 Muslims living in those countries has gone to Syria. Viewing this on mobile?

Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, but tiny numbers of fighters going to Syria. And even countries closer to the conflict such as Turkey, Algeria and Morocco have sent relatively few. (Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, which all have more Muslims than any country other than Indonesia, have not issued official estimates of how many of their citizens, if any, have gone to Syria.)

All 25 countries in the study
Britain and France have comparable percentages of local Muslims going to fight in Syria -- just over one in 6,000 British Muslims and one in 6,666 French Muslims have gone to Syria, governments say. The figures in the Netherlands are not far off, around one in 7,700. American Muslims are going to Syria at a much lower rate, closer to one in 25,000. Viewing this on mobile?

Voinee olettaa, että yksi rekrytoija kerkeää rekrytoida vain tietyn määrän taistelijoita, oli potentiaalisia lähtijöitä miten paljon tahansa?
Ulkomaat huomanneet, että jos taannoin talvella Isis siirsi isot joukot taistelijoita Syyriasta Irakiin, josta seurasi sitten Mosulin valtaus ja muut, niin nyt suuntaus on ollut toisinpäin. Isisksen materia ja taistelijavirta on mennyt nyt Irakista Syyriaan. Odotettavissa on jotain suurta siellä.- Täälläkin ollut Mosulista lähtien videoita materian ja vehkeiden menosta Syyriaan.
http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Mi...e-activists-over-criticism.ashx#ixzz3CAut469WRami Abdel-Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said they were arrested Friday "after criticizing the role of the Defense Ministry and the intelligence services in the loss of key bases in the north, particularly the Tabqa military airport."
The five men are all members of the minority Alawite sect to which President Bashar Assad belongs.
Four were arrested in the coastal cities of Latakia and Tartus, strongholds of the regime and the Alawite community, and a fifth in Damascus. The four from Latakia and Tartous had sought to organize demonstrations against Defense Minister Gen. Fahd al-Freij, but were detained before they took place, Abdel-Rahman said. The fifth, Mudar Khadur, was arrested in Damascus after launching a social media campaign calling for information on the fate of soldiers at bases overrun by jihadists.
Militants from the jihadist ISIS seized three bases in northern Raqqa province in July and August, killing dozens of soldiers, including some who were decapitated. Khadur launched the "Eagles of Tabqa Military Airport" Facebook page to rally support for troops as they came under attack, and then the #Waynun or #WhereAreThey campaign after Tabqa was captured.
The page and campaign included direct criticism of Defense Minister Freij, with postings referring to him as "Minister of Death" and expressions of anger at his reappointment in late August.
"These men were not opponents of Bashar Assad," Abdel-Rahman said. "But they were angered by the lack of explanations about how these well-protected bases could have fallen so quickly and the large number of deaths," he said.
Khadur's arrest was also reported on the " Eagles of Tabqa Military Airport" Facebook page.
"Not a traitor, not an agent, not a terrorist," one posting reads.
"He was arrested by the air force intelligence on the evening of August 29, 2014 in Damascus."
According to the Observatory, at least 2,366 Syrian soldiers were killed in July and August alone, more than 800 of them in jihadist attacks, with others still missing. Tens of thousands of people are being held in Syrian prisons, according to the Observatory, many of them activists seeking the ouster of the regime. More than 180,000 people have been killed since the beginning of the uprising against Assad in March 2011.

R.I.P
toivottavasti heidän murhat tullaan kostamaan.
http://www.iltasanomat.fi/ulkomaat/art-1288732851862.htmlBBC:n haastattelema kirjoittaja Ann Marlowe tunsi Sotloffin monien vuosien ajan. Hänen mukaansa Sotloff oli asunut Jemenissä vuosia.
-Hän puhui hyvää arabiaa ja rakasti islamilaista maailmaa syvästi.
