But Turkey now has the weapons deal with Mrs May.. maybe he can resell the jets to Daesh, so they can pay him with oil, and kill more Kurds.

Win-win

Daesh must be conserving ammo,instead of shooting suspected traitors,they put them in a steel cage and drown them instead.

A sad case from Denmark

Sad in the way she is only 16 years old having her future ahead of her and then she make these decisions that have changed her life.

If anything it's a testimony against the so called religion of peace. Interesting how a young girl from the West converts to Islam and now her hearts desire is to kill people with explosives.

@ Mapuc: ^ Yes, this is very sad.

I cannot quite understand the desparation, to decide to act this way.

The only thing i could understand is despair, if there is absolutely no future worth living.

I do not get the religious fanatism, if it is that. I think it is more some kind of envy, or contempt.
Imagine you are coming from a country like Syriah. Maybe to Germany, maybe to Denmark, maybe to England.

You know how it is like at home. You know that all people in the country you currently are, have the means to know what is going on in you country. But they don't care. They live relatively luxurious, compared to your home town, and country, and give a sh... .
And they do not act or do anything, they just live their daily life, and maybe complain about banana prices, or bickering about how baaad it is here.
I guess this alone could generate a lot of hate.

If you then add some historical knowledge of how the western nations behave(d) towards your country in the past... the rest is self-evident.

In the long run the only solution is imho to give the people a decent education but i guess this is impossible to achieve, for all. At least as long we have artificial "nations" which compete against each other all the time, instead of achieving a goal together. Give people a future, regardless where they come from.
Apple is a good example.

You know Jim, when I saw that pic on the link I provided, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of fear they felt, unbelievable!!!!

I think one would have to personally live through the experience to truly understand

Daesh is starting to use weaponized drones in Iraq, could be used in a terror attack somewhere too!

If it was that easy it would have been done already, drones have been around for a while and despite warnings that they would bring down airliners or drop bombs on people so far the most they've done in western society is drop packages into prisons.
Still, anti-drone weaponry is well into development, from EMP guns to birds of prey. It's mouse/mouse-trap syndrome, they'll find ways around our weapons, and then we'll find counters to theirs.

As you say development continues and what was once impossible will eventually become easy. Daesh isn't going to field anything near "state of the art" but we shouldn't underestimate their ability to macgiver something lower tech and make it effective.
