What ISIS really wants

Long read but fairly informative.
I had to mentally mumble the Arabic words
and surnames to get all the way through it.
One of my favorite passages:
"Barack Obama himself drifted into takfiri waters when he claimed
that the Islamic State was "not Islamic"-the irony being that he,
as the non-Muslim son of a Muslim, may himself be classified as an apostate,
and yet is now practicing takfir against Muslims.
Non-Muslims' practicing takfir elicits chuckles from jihadists
("Like a pig covered in feces giving hygiene advice to others," one tweeted)."
