You can't keep your anecdotes straight. First you say Israel is helping ISIS, then you say only Muslims support ISIS. You might run into less problems with sketchy facts if you post a source to back up your claims once in awhile.

OK... I will list the facts:

1. All ISIS members are Sunni Muslims
2. ISIS has mostly targeted non-Muslims
3. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Israel are supporting the ISIS, for their own reasons.

I'll change my claim that "only Muslims support the ISIS" to "all ISIS members are Sunni Muslims". Hope that everything is clear now.

This is much better. When I get a chance I'll circle back to this about #1, because I came across some reading that indicated this was not entirely true. When I find it again, I'll post it.

Here's one article I had found about how ISIS recruits non-Muslims (so they aren't all Sunni Muslims). There was a better article I had come across that talked about how some people went to 'work' for ISIS not because of ideology but simply because they paid wages like a job, and there was no work for them otherwise, but they started abandoning ISIS because they were never paid as promised. I can't find that article now, but this one makes my point as well.
