This significant WND article shows how the U.S. government trained many of
the Islamic terrorists who has been torturing, raping and slaughtering
Christians in Iraq and Syria. There is also information from WND that CIA
was delivering arms to these terrorists. The current article also reveals
that ISIS received assistance from two big U.S. allies: Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
All of them helping to exterminate Christians in Syria and Iraq. I ask my
American friends to help end U.S. war on Christians by proxy. A nation founded
by persecuted Christians should help persecuted Christians, not to help shed
their blood.

The
officials said dozens of future ISIS members were trained at the time as part of
covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for
any future campaign in Iraq.
The
Jordanian officials said all ISIS members who received U.S. training to fight in
Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like
al-Qaida.
In
February 2012, WND was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were
running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi in
the country’s northern desert region.
That
report has since been corroborated by numerous other media
accounts.
Last
March, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported Americans were training
Syrian rebels in Jordan.
Quoting
what it said were training participants and organizers, Der Spiegel reported it
was not clear whether the Americans worked for private firms or were with the
U.S. Army, but the magazine said some organizers wore uniforms. The training in
Jordan reportedly focused on use of anti-tank weaponry.
The
German magazine reported some 200 men received the training over the previous
three months amid U.S. plans to train a total of 1,200 members of the Free
Syrian Army in two camps in the south and the east of Jordan.
Britain’s
Guardian newspaper also reported last March that U.S.
trainers were aiding Syrian rebels in Jordan along with British and French
instructors.
Reuters reported a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department
declined immediate comment on the German magazine’s report. The French foreign
ministry and Britain’s foreign and defense ministries also would not comment to
Reuters.
The
Jordanian officials spoke to WND amid concern the sectarian violence in Iraq
will spill over into their own country as well as into Syria.
ISIS
previously posted a video on YouTube threatening to move on Jordan and
“slaughter” King Abdullah, whom they view as an enemy of Islam.
WND reported last week that, according to Jordanian and
Syrian regime sources, Saudi Arabia has been arming the ISIS and that the Saudis
are a driving force in supporting the al-Qaida-linked group.
WND further reported that, according to a Shiite source in
contact with a high official in the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki, the Obama administration has been aware for two months that the
al-Qaida-inspired group that has taken over two Iraqi cities and now is
threatening Baghdad also was training fighters in Turkey.
The
source told WND that at least one of the training camps of the group Iraq of the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria, the ISIS, is in the vicinity of Incirlik
Air Base near Adana, Turkey, where American personnel and equipment are
located.
He
called Obama “an accomplice” in the attacks that are threatening the Maliki
government the U.S. helped establish through the Iraq war.
The
source said that after training in Turkey, thousands of ISIS fighters went to
Iraq by way of Syria to join the effort to establish an Islamic caliphate
subject to strict Islamic law, or Shariah.
