Has any progressive dismissed them as not being true muslims? It sounds likely we are going to get a worldwide lesson on what islam really is.
Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi had himself named Caliph—a position of total power! He is both Emperor and Pope. He will need to take Baghdad (his home town) as his capital now. He has in fact, by doing this declared war on Iran and lay claim to Mecca and the Holy places of Islam—He will need to expand. i believe he is smart enough to take Baghdad—by stelth. Then Jordan, The gulf states and Egypt. He can’t do too much to us as he will ne locked in a life or death struggle with Iran.
