#3 ...the land taken from the Eastern Romans

..by the sword, and the walls of Constantinople finally by cannon. So, much for the 'Religion of Peace'(tm).

#4 We should be sensitive enough to not disturb them during their Holy month of Ramadan, during which they sit quietly and contemplate World Peace. Which, I think, translates to Islam in their language. Or was that Submission? It's so confusing.

#5 It's well past time to start using napalm against these %$&^%#&%$%&%$^, to "light up their life". Napalm and ARCLIGHT, two sure winners, preferably used against the new "Caliph's" home.

#8 Constantinople was the capitol of the Roman Empire. The city called "Rome" was little more than a barbarian's grazing patch at the time.

#9 I suspect even with a weakened economy a well motivated Italy would clean the clocks of these pimples. And you gotta go through Italy to get the Papal States.

#10 See also BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Itar-Tass] RUSSIA, GERMANY, FRANCE, UKRAINE REACH PACKAGE OF AGREEMENTS ON TRUCE.

The new Caliphate + "Islamic State" has to get through the Knights of Muscovy, the Teutonic Knights, + The Knights Templar, etc. first.

IMO PUTIN is still working towards a unified JudeoChristian Bloc + Bulwark broadly centered around the Black Sea + Crimea.

PLUS theres also ... ...

* WORLD NEWS > [Yahoo DailY News] JIHADISTS THINKER SAYS ISLAMIC CALIPHATE WILL CAUSE JIHADISTS' INFIGHTING.

Yuuuppp.

This Caliphate is effec setting itself up as the THIRD ISLAMIC/MUSLIM COUNTER-SEE to SAUDI ARABIA + SHIA IRAN - IMO ITS HERE TO STAY FOR A LONG LONG L-O-N-G TIME TO COME, + WILL HAVE TO JUSTIFY ITS LEGITIMACY + EXISTENCE TO BOTH THE ISLAMIC + NON-ISLAMIC WORLDS IN THAT TIME.

Al-Baghdadi definitely gots the cajones or gonads for the above - he + Caliphate aren't going anywhere widout a hard bitter fight.

#11 We won't have to worry about this for a long time. ISIS will have it's hands full with the Shiites. Afterall, they just demolished the Makam al abas mosque in Mosul. Know that Via Gatewaypundit.
