Although the Saudis are responsible for spreading that brain dead, FALSE, Wahhabi garbage to the world with all their oil money, they are too conservative and attached to their oil money to ever join the doomed death cult, ISIS.

Kind of ridiculous considering ISIS is a creation OF Saudi Arabia. People are connecting the dots on this Saudi funded, US trained "terror" group, so it is things like this they use to try and throw us off the scent.

Merge with Libya????
Have you looked at a map at all?
There's no evidence to suggest that the trouble on-going in Libya is in any way connected to ISIS. It's far fuelled by tribal politics than religious ideology.
Also there is the small matter of Egypt and Jordan between Syria/Iraq and the rag tag rebels in Libya.
There are still daily flights from Tripoli to Istanbul even after the airport fell into rebel hands.

Exactly what I was gonna say!
Saudi Arabia does what Israel tells them to do.

ISIS was created by Saudi Arabia (along with western countries) when they funded all the nutso radicals that were fighting in Syria. The "rebels" in Syria, for the most part, weren't Syrians, but just more of the roving insurgents we've seen going all over the middle east and Africa. So ISIS got it's start from Saudi Arabia.
Be concerned when ISIS gets a foothold or support in Pakistan.. where nukes are most likely to shake loose. I've said it once and i've said it a hundred times the next nuke to go off in war is likely going to come from Pakistan, regardless of who uses it or where.
I find it funny that everybody has been accused of creating ISIS from the US, Syria, Israel, NATO, Saudi Arabia etc. when in fact ISIS history is easy to trace back to its origens in Jordan trying to over throw the royal family an ally of the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him?
