Nine leading rebel groups in Syria have rejected the Islamic State's claim that it has established a Caliphate stretching across parts of Iraq and Syria.
In a statement released online, the nine groups say "the announcement by the rejectionists [the Islamic State] of a caliphate is null and void," both "legally and logically." The nine groups, all of which have long been opposed to the Islamic State, say that the announced Caliphate will not change how they deal with the organization.
The signatories warn other jihadist individuals and organizations not to support the Islamic State. They argue that the decision to announce a Caliphate is self-serving and an attempt to "abort the blessed revolutions in Syria and Iraq."
Two of the nine signatories are the Islamic Front, a powerful rebel coalition that includes the al Qaeda-linked Ahrar al Sham, and the Majlis Shura al Mujahideen (MSM) in Deir Izzor. The MSM is an alliance of groups, including the Al Nusrah Front, that is opposed to the Islamic State in eastern Syria. . .

The end of the “caliphate” just as it begins..............Hmmmmmmmmm.
Maybe more and more of these freaks will kill more and more of these freaks.
One side announces caliphate. Another side rejects caliphate.
Sounds like a dispute over which twenty or thirty generations of war could be built around.
The biggest problem these individuals and others have with this declared Caliphate is the are not the Caliph.
We can only hope.
Put it on Pay-per-View.
They’s gonna be some feudin’ in them parts.
Time for all the Islamic terror factions to declare Jihad on each other.

The main stream media is in an alliance that includes Al Nusrah Front? That explains a lot.

“We can only hope.”

We'd have to be very subtle ... the only people they hate more than each other are us.
yes, Trisham! These colors never run away! If you run away, it will be your own fault!
“the only people they hate more than each other are us.”
Do you think that’s really true? Serious question, I don’t know the answer.
We are infidels, but we never said we were Muslims.
Muslims who say they are Muslims but practice Islam in the polluted, corrupted sense whatever that may be depending upon the Sunni/Shia viewpoint and who has the AK-47 in hand, and in the same geographical area, would seem to be the greater, more offensive apostasy.
And yet, they keep finding reasons NOT to support a caliphate.
Some group of Muslims denounces another group of Muslims as being “impure” and “apostate”, and therefore, it is absolutely necessary to behead the entire population of the “impure” ones.
Only, it is never conclusively determined who is “pure” or “impure”.
The greatest danger to any Muslim is another Muslim.
