II. Funding and International Support

Many people are pointing towards the Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoğanIII as being a silent investor in many of the groups that joined together in the formation of the Islamic front (Syria). The Islamic Front (Syria) has many supporters from other Jihadist organizations around the world, which could lead to more funding and more recruitment for the Islamic Front. The Islamic Front (Syria) does have a rival with ISIS because they are competing in the same area for recruits and funds. The Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) have become great allies with the Islamic Front (Syria), the leader of JN believes that this new organization will do great things for the Islamic community in the middle east and especially in Syria.

Views and objectives

The Islamic Front (Syria) has not made any notions on establishing a caliphate. The Islamic Front is more interested in unifying the Muslims that are concerned with the same issues that they are concerned with. This means that the Islamic Front (Syria) has a much different view than other Jihadist have where normally Jihadist want to bring the world under Muslim rule. In the United States governments eyes they do not see this Islamic Front (Syria) as a danger to American lives and they do not class them as a terrorist organization like ISIS or Al Queda. However, many of the United States allies could back this group which politically could be an issue for the United States. With JN backing them and with silent investors like the Turkish President or with Saudi's money they could spell trouble for the United States in the future but that is if they change their ideals and want to establish a caliphate on a world wide scale.
