But the crises in northern Iraq is now less one of a single jihadist group to be rooted out and destroyed, than of a sectarian pushback by the Sunni population against the Iraqi government.

Down play the jihadist aspect and play up the sectarian aspect. The Telegraph covers for the jihadists.

Actually this has been going on between the Shia and Sunni for hundreds of years. Unfortunately for us (America) as much as they hate each other they both hate us more.........

This is not “sectarianism.” The ISIS group is killing Sunnis as well. The policeman whose head was kicked around in the famous “This is Our World Cup” video was a Sunni. But he was cooperating with a semi-secular government.

You are absolutely right that this is covering for the jihadists, who want to create the “worldwide caliphate.” At that point, Sunni and Shia won’t matter, and we’re fools if we think either one of them is more sympathetic to non-Islamic thought or society.
