I've seen some beheading videos by ISIS with guys in the background holding g36 rifles. Besides Germany, they're also licensed produced in Germany, and they're otherwise rare guns.
The simpler explanation for ISIS is that Saudi Arabia knows that they have radicalized elements in their society, and instead of moderating them, they let them travel to Syria to wage jihad since its likely they will die, and the U.S. turns a blind eye on the situation because they would rather have a war fought by potential future terrorists than have them cause instability in Saudi Arabia.

Saudis support the Wahhabi extremists and the Muslim Brotherhood. They used them against USSR in Afghanistan, against Russia in Chechnya, against Qaddafi in Libya, against Shiites in Iraq and Syria. ISIS army could not function without massive amounts of supplies. Saudis provide them. They do it with the blessing of the West.
Correct. American taxpayers have no stomach for war. Therefore mercenaries must be hired as a proxy to shroud the fact we are invading sovereign countries without our knowledge.
