File under: Islamic State

#1 Another one of those "my daddy is more Islamic than your daddy" things the ME is famous for?

#2 Other possibilities include local jihadis vs. psychopathic jihad tourists, or true jihadis vs. former Ba'athists... or just bored lads working off excess energy, Mystic.

#3 It's what they do when jihad is going poorly elsewhere, or when they are bored. It should be strongly encouraged.

#6 #4, I guess they didn't have time to watch the beginning of "Enemy at the Gates". You don't give the cannon fodder too many bullets and never too soon, because they can turn them on their ~~NKVD~~ beaters.

#8 More likely "True IS" vs. "Real True IS".

Essentially. The Baathists being the latter.

#9 I'm guessing the proximate cause was an inability to agree on an IS mission statement.
