[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 469738, member: 746"] It is a plain and simple power grab, under the guise of religion. Had Syria not be in a so weakened a state, I doubt this would have got off the ground so quickly. The ISIS leadership are drumming into their followers and "converts" using repetitious brainwashing techniques the idea that they are fighting a holy war to the greater glory of Islam. Apart from their dress, they have little difference to the Taliban who want to remove Western civilisation and institute Sharia law in the lands they occupy. Women will have the same status as goats and it is the ultimate aim to shun all western technological advances made since 1500 and hark back to the supposed golden age when Mohamed roamed the countryside with a few wives in tow A good explanation appeared in Middle East Quarterly about 13 years: http://www.meforum.org/486/the-talibans-international-ambitions [/QUOTE]
