The (White House) has stated that Isis is extremely well funded and that they have a lot of money to work with; what I would like to know is who is funding them? Are their people in Europe and the U.S. funding them? And...if so how and why are they?

Wow, you are absolutely right, I can't believe I didn't think of this before. But yes, we have been supporting the Syrian rebels, and they became ISIS. I always thought it was strange we were supporting the extremist rebels in Syria.
How come the media doesn't mention this?

It's a never ending story with American foreign policy. They take sides and find out later they're the enemy, just like when we helped the rebels in Afghanistan. These groups bite the hand that feed them.
It's like I've always said, the U.S. should mind their own business when it comes to foreign conflicts. The U.S. will never learn from the past. Countries need to solve their own internal conflicts. It's disgusting to see our young men and women die overseas under the banner of freedom and a threat or interests to the United States.
WE create our own enemies by killing and creating terrorists overseas. It's simply human nature to react with revenge after someone kills a family member or loved one.

Great OP!
People are slowly getting to know
The neocons are the devil on earth. All this is from them actually.
Yet other are to blame for becoming useful idiots
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

How long will this go on, when will it stop.
When will American people find a backbone, or at least a sense of morality.
