What does ISIS really want?

ISIS makes no secret of its ultimate ambition: A global caliphate secured through a global war. To that end it speaks of "remaining and expanding" its existing hold over much of Iraq and Syria. It aims to replace existing, man-made borders, to overcome what it sees as the Shiite "crescent" that has emerged across the Middle East, to take its war -- Islam's war -- to Europe and America, and ultimately to lead Muslims toward an apocalyptic battle against the "disbelievers."

I agree with the quote. The "go along to get along" crowd finds this inconvenient. This is not a problem that can be solved with grim-faced ministers rushing into a crisis meeting in Paris or Brussels.
