The history tells us that it takes a lot more than just a group of paid terrorists to establish an even semi Empire...Ruthlessness and persistance while having a solid Ideology to build your case upon,accompanied by resources, wisdom and knowledge is what it takes to do the trick,occasionally...I am not sure if ISIS do portray any of that qualifications,neighter do Al Qaida or any others...This is just childish and funny stuff...No offense to whom their blood have been spilt.

That's an interesting point.
Particularly the Genghis Khan issue . . . I hadn't thought about that. That had to be an interesting clash of ruthlessness camps.
Thx for your worthwhile points.
As for an Islamic superstate, the best chance for it to be a grass roots campaign with the populations interest at heart is to wait for then next global financial crash. The capability for international interference will be much more reduced during this time.
