thanks for the economist link, as always a great source.
From that article i take a little more faith that ISIS can be stopped or driven back - the kurds won't just let them in by the looks of it.
Even a few months ago the economist was reporting on how locals in Syria were determined to drive ISIS out, how the majority hated their extremism.
So if this is a new caliphate does it mean we'll see a new muslim pope/grand mufti?
I think it was abandoned after the 1st world war from what i remember...
