Turkey's Porous Borders Bad For Europe?

[Redheart]

Prior to the siege of Kobani it was reported that injured jihadists had been crossing the border into Turkey for treatment. They even tried to kidnap a senior Syrian rebel leader while he was in Turkey. That could move back and forth from Syria to Turkey, with ease raises concerns . . .

How many ISIS fighters have crossed over and traveled to other parts of Europe awaiting the command of their Caliph to strike? How many crossed the border to recruit other young Muslims in Europe so they could fight alongside ISIS? Did Turkey even care or do they, too, entertain the thought of a powerful Caliphate that would make Muslims a force to reckon with as it was a few centuries back?

Do you think jihadis [some of them disguised as refugees] crossing the Turkish border into Europe will cause security problems for Europe some time in the near-future?

They have been crossing multiple borders I imagine. Turkey has been a country in conflict for so long, part Asia and part European. It has created a gateway for terrorists just as it had for drug smugglers as the country has poor defense structures, they are all governed locally it appears.

You can't force Turkey to take action because they don't have the manpower or resources even if they could. They have their own battles to fight already.
