ISIS declaration of caliphate spells more peril for Europe
The UK Mirror says that the announcement of a new caliphate by ISIS terrorist group will mean more danger in Europe too:
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the most extremist and violent jihadist group in the Middle East – too extreme even for Al-Qaeda – officially declared the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate on Sunday.And those who survive to return to Europe again are bound to continue their violence on the European continent proper. That's exactly why Europe now faces serious disaster.
The Caliphate has been the end goal for these jihadists for many years and this formal declaration will be seen as the logical and natural outcome of their struggle.
It will also add weight to their legitimacy and prestige for many extremists across the world.
They will be able to pull more radicalised youth to their ranks who will believe this is now the time to live out their dream of having an Islamic State in the heart of the Middle East.
Up to to 3,000 Western jihadists have already gone to Syria and Iraq to fight and that number will probably now increase.
