Peaceful protests against IS in Syria and Iraq organized by Kurdish nationals in several German cities ended with serious clashes with pro-jihadist Muslims in Hamburg and Celle. Police had to request reinforcements to restore order.
Police in Hamburg, a port city of 1.8 million people, used water cannons, batons and pepper spray late Tuesday to disperse crowds of warring Kurds and pro-jihadist Muslims, armed with knives and brass-knuckles, following a protest against Islamic State militants who are attacking the Kurdish town of Kobani in Syria near the Turkish border.
A bigger group of about 500 Kurdish demonstrators marched through downtown Hamburg. On their way, they damaged several cars and Turkish snack bars, breaking panes of glass and throwing around plastic chairs. Police detained 14 rioters.

Ok. I'll bite. How did the US "create" ISIS? I've got to hear this.

This by the way is public knowledge, I strongly suggest you keep up otherwise you will look foolish to most people.

How do they know they were IS supporters and not angry Turks reacting to this...

Nothing seems to confirm they were pro-IS...

Well of course they are pro Islamic State, the caliphate (successorship) and the caliph (successor of Muhammad) are not some wild idea.
They will fight and protect their religion Islam, any attack on the caliphate will be seen as an attack against Islam.
The name isis or isil does not point to a group but points to what they are fighting for, hence the name change to IS when the caliphate 'Islamic State' was proclaimed.
So the west is not fighting against isis or IS but against an ideology which has a great deal of followers around the world.
In other parts of the world they fight under other names, like boko haram, al shabaab, al qaeda, al nusra, hezbollah, hamas and so on.
To them, sunni islam is the only real islam, shia muslims, yazidi, christians and kurds are therefore not safe and slaughtered in masses, women and children sold as slaves.
