you know, this aggravates people who are affiliated anyway with the arabs people who live in the west banknk that's part of it. but i think this is a new evolutionary development. and where people go into syria, they get trained there, they have a passport from france from great britain or the united states. they stay there for a few months and learn how to be a terrorist and then come back to turkey and you know they have been there. you know who they are. and i think this event and paris is going to waken up the people in charge of security and watch those people more closely and not single out all of it. >> and it's hard you know, it seems like a very small amount of people can now do a tremendous amount of damage. but it's hard to see them going any further than that. in terms of their selling points to the world. i know this is a big propaganda. but their selling point to the world needs to it be join us we're crazy. we'll kill everybody. i was really encouraged a few minutes ago to see this muslim really condemn -- >> you're right. >> jon: . >> this is a good omen for the because i k
