From RT:
ISIS jihadists have declared the captured territories from Iraq’s Diyala province to Syria’s Aleppo a new Islamic State – a ‘caliphate.’
They removed ‘Iraq and the Levant’ from their name and urged other radical Sunni groups to pledge their allegiance. ISIS announced that it should now be called ‘The Islamic State’ and declared its chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as “the caliph” of the new state and “leader for Muslims everywhere,” the radical Sunni militant group said in an audio recording distributed online on Sunday.
This is the first time since the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1923 that a Caliph – which means a political successor to Prophet Muhammad – has been declared.
The decision was made following the group’s Shura Council meeting on Sunday, according to ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani.
The jihadist group has also claimed that they are now a legitimate state.
The Islamic State has called on Al-Qaeda and other radical Sunni militants in the region to immediately pledge their allegiance, ushering in “a new era of international jihad.”

BHO's position will be as follows:
"Nothing to see here. Move right along."
So predictable. BUt who knows maybe zawalhiri and this bozo will go at each other
Iran once boasted that it was good to have a country called Israel. That way they can kill/nuke all the Jews in one place. I wonder if its crossed those primeval Muslim minds that is what they are doing when the create the Caliphate.
I doubt we will nuke them, WC. For two reasons,
1) the Caliphate is not some magical thing that will unite all Muslims,
and
2) even if it was, Obama and his minions will tell us the Caliphate is fine. They will tell us it will bring about peace, and that it will make it easier to negotiate based upon "common interests".
Pasto,
Perceptions might well change if there's another 9/11 attack here on our home soil.
We'd still have to get rid of this President.
