The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), the jihadist group which has seized territory in Iraq and Syria, on Sunday declared itself an Islamic "caliphate" and called on factions worldwide to pledge their allegiance, Reuters reported, citing a statement posted on Islamist websites and Twitter.

According to the report, the group has shortened its name to "Islamic State" and proclaimed its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as "Caliph" - the head of the state.

"He is the imam and khalifah (Caliph) for the Muslims everywhere," the group's spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said in the statement, which was translated into several languages and read out in an Arabic audio speech.

"Accordingly, the 'Iraq and Sham' (Levant) in the name of the Islamic State is henceforth removed from all official deliberations and communications, and the official name is the Islamic State from the date of this declaration," he said, according to Reuters.

I'd bet dollars to doughnut holes that Ubama will be the grand foobah of the Caliphate within a year of leaving office.

It will be a bidding war between ISIS and PMSNBC....

The Shiites going hit the fan.

As their major oil customer transitions from the US to China, I think the ragheads will find the rules of engagement change pretty dramatically.

Russians are in the uttermost parts of the north in that context. Persia, Put and Cush might go with with them, though (along with Gomer and Togarmah—Japeth: Roman/Iberian and the like). Try Isaiah 38 and a few years of study of ancient population movements.

The Saudis are not too happy about this, they thought
THEY were going to be the Caliphate.

Just why would the caliphate stop at their border when
the holy cities are so close... the revolution always
eats it’s own.

Guess Obama came in second in the voting.

[Hieronymus]

That is medieval times—and don’t under-rate medieval times—they managed to check Islam and drive it back in places, which is more than I see our times doing.

Good deal, get them all together hootin and hollerin and vaporize the lot of them.\

The Traveler refers to it as "The Century War." We have been at war since approximately 632 A.D. We turned them back at Tours and we turned them back at Lepanto. We must turn them back again. This current conflict has its roots in the distant past - but is no less perilous than the challenges of the last century - the rise of Communism and Nazism - which our fathers vanquished.

The difference now lies in the ethos that has taken root in our society, defined by secularism, materialism and hedonism. Our Troops perform magnificently, but the current World Cup, the Dow Jones and the latest obscene video matter more to many in our society than the reckoning that is coming.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

“The difference now lies in the ethos that has taken root in our society, defined by secularism, materialism and hedonism.”

Thats exactly what I mean about kicking the can. Today id for all the above. the islam thing? Meh...later. We see it in all aspects of life and especially politics. Always
Ttomorrow, never today because stuff like Islam happens to other people. We are America. Bad things don’t happen here. 9/11? Dude that was 13 years ago! There’s a game on. Besides, I don’t live in a target. Let the people that do worry about it. The Republicans will never let it happen. We have all this NSA spying now.....

And then a shooting happens, or a bomb goes off and slaughters a bunch of people and aster a week ob propaganda by the left about isolated incidents and ROP memes, the denial starts anew. Just like the Traveler portrayed. But in real life.

Three words: Barack Hussein Obama?

[Norm Lenhart]

Probably...

All kidding aside that question is a point of no small debate. What were they? Personally I think it’s Dal ar Islam or however it is spelled. “The peace of Islam” Peace being defined as 100% Muslim control.

Others have given different answers.

...declared itself an Islamic “caliphate” and called on factions worldwide to pledge their allegiance....

No prob. Obamugabe covered that about a month ago. (See my tagline.)

[beethovenfan]

Oops - need to check spelling. Good point.

[kvanbrunt2]

There has to be some strategy that can get these a*****S to eat their own.

[Eleutheria5]

“they managed to check Islam and drive it back in places, which is more than I see our times doing.”

1918, 1948, 1967, and continuing after the brief distraction of Oslo.

Oh, there is. Eat popcorn. Leave them to their own devices. Defend your perimeter.
