The Islamic State Wants To Conquer Mecca

William Young, Newsweek: ISIS Aims to Occupy Mecca



WNU Editor: In the past year the Islamic State's message to fellow Sunni Muslims has been very clear .... it is they (and they alone) who have the divine mandate to rule the Islamic world. This in turn has attracted thousands of Jihadists who are willing to die for this cause .... resulting in a fanaticism that has propelled the Middle East into a religious sectarian war of the likes that has not been seen for centuries. Will they succeed .... I have my doubts .....but their eyes are on Mecca and Jerusalem .... and this is their ultimate goal .... the conquest and occupation of these two great cities.
