Sunni militants declare Islamic state in Iraq and Syria The leaders of an Al Qaeda splinter group that has seized vast portions of northern and western Iraq have declared the establishment of an Islamic state and demanded allegiance from other Muslim groups. Muslim extremists have long dreamed of recreating the Islamic state, or caliphate, that ruled over the Middle East, much of North Africa and beyond in various forms over the course of Islam's 1,400-year history. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/06/30/sunni-militants-declare-islamic-state-in-iraq-and-syria/ And They have well laid plan for next 5 years- My feeling is- this is the beginning, and we can not ignore it as something which will disappear over a period of time.
