“...The main Syrian Kurdish group defending the strategic border town of Kobani against an ISIS assault is the Democratic Union Party (PYD), a secularist organization...”

The fact that it is Kurdish is enough to want Turkey to see those defenders destroyed. The fact that they are also “secularist” just adds to the Turkish Islamist Government’s hatred of them and is, IMHO, one of the reasons why the Obama regime (with its stash of Muslim Brotherhood connected individuals in the White House & administration) has been so INCREDIBLY SLOW to allow the American military to provide EFFECTIVE assistance to those Kurds.
I couldn’t agree more, and the MB associated people in the WH is criminal in my view.
