The solution to ISIS/Al Qaeda does not require fighting them at all. The solution to the refugee crisis does not require taking them into our countries. It’s as easy as demanding our governments to stop funding and arming the terrorists aka moderate rebels. It’s the West, Turkey, Israel, and The Gulf States that are funding and arming ISIS/Al Qaeda. We can kill two birds without even throwing a stone.
In a Guardian News article dated Dec. 7, 2012 by Martin Chulov, among numerous other articles in mainstream media, the French are very open about funding ISIS/Al Qaeda so they could buy guns and ammo.

France has emerged as the most prominent backer of Syria’s armed opposition and is now directly funding rebel groups around Aleppo as part of a new push to oust the embattled Assad regime.
Large sums of cash have been delivered by French government proxies across the Turkish border to rebel commanders in the past month, diplomatic sources have confirmed. The money has been used to buy weapons inside Syria and to fund armed operations against loyalist forces.
The French moves have stopped short of direct supply of weapons – a bridge that no western state has yet been willing to cross in Syria. But, according to western and Turkish officials as well as rebel leaders, the influx of money has made a difference in recent weeks as momentum on the battlefields of the north steadily shifts towards the opposition.
Some of the French cash has reached Islamist groups who were desperately short of ammunition and who had increasingly turned for help towards al-Qaida aligned jihadist groups in and around Aleppo.
