This time, it is surrender to the contenders for whom shall be established as the Worldwide Caliphate. Right now, there is a huge struggle between the Sunni (supported by Saudi Arabia) and the Shi’ite (supported by Iran), the victor of which shall set as its ultimate goal to overcome every other ideology/belief system in the remainder of the world.

More specifically, decimated means 10% killed internally as a disciplinary measure for poor performance on the field of battle.
