#2 SO, now we know.

The ISIL guys are "twelvers" the group of Islamist that believe in the 12th imam. According to their ideas, his return will signal the apocalypse and the return of Mohammed and the other major profits.

Oddly, they believe if they can reverse the equation by precipitating the apocalypse, leading to the return of the 12th imam. Achamnutjob the former president of Iran was a twelve and one of the reasons the mullahs dismissed him was they didn't like his theology and the fact he was actively trying to start a war.

Stand back this is getting more interesting by the minute.

#4 Yes, they are sunni. But I seem to recall that Osama binLaden and the rest of the Al Qaeda leadership believed that if they could precipitate a major American attack on the ummah, then Allah would be forced to intervene on the side of his truest believers.

Clearly this did not happen, obviously because they were not true enough. ISIS will show them how it should be done.
