The Future of ISIS: Some Things Cannot Be Killed
(Israel Hayom) Lt. Col. (res.) Dr. Mordechai Kedar - The attempt to reestablish the Islamic caliphate failed because the Muslim world - not only the "infidels" - despised its gruesome, seventh-century execution methods. ISIS has lost the large swathe of territory it controlled, but its members will seek revenge against all those who attacked them. At the same time, the fall of Sunni ISIS strengthens the Shiite axis. The idea of an Islamic caliphate remains alive in the hearts of many millions. In the near or distant future it will be resurrected and begin anew. The writer served for 25 years in IDF military intelligence.
