The following copied from the Yahoo News page:
As the Isis (now known as Islamic State) terror
group continues to consolidate its self-declared "caliphate"
in territory seized in its march across north-eastern Syria
and northern Iraq, a map has been released that details the
"ten-state solution" it hopes to achieve over the next
decade.
Walid Shoebat, a former Palestine Liberation
Organisation (PLO) terrorist turned Islamic scholar, has translated
the Arabic map of the expansionist caliphate to show the Balkans,
Spain and Portugal are long-term targets for the militants.
The group, which stemmed from al-Qaeda and the
Salafist ideology, rejects the notion of nationalism, aiming to
remove secular governments and replace them with a pan-Islamic
caliphate.
Worringly, the Balkan states would fall under
"Orobpa" and Portugal and Spain would fall under "Andalus",
according to this expansionist vision.
In the ten-state solution, Kurdistan, Iraq and
Syria (Sham) would be the primary fixtures of the caliphate, with
Lebanon included in Sham.
Further secular states that would fall under IS's
control include Turkey (Anatolia) as well as the Commonwealth of
Independent States (Gogaz), which include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
"Khorasan" would include Iran,
Afghanistan, Pakistan and potentially Indonesia, while Hijaz would
include the Gulf States and Yemen would stand on its own.
"Qinana" would see Egypt, Sudan and
Somalia in the caliphate, while the other states of North Africa -
Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania - would fall under
"Maghreb".
There are worries IS will continue to grow as
Islamic militants from Afghanistan and Pakistan, linked to the
Taliban, consider joining forces with the group.
An Afghan militant commander, named as "Mirwais",
said if IS proved to be a true caliphate, his forces would pledge
allegiance to the group.
"We know Daish [Arabic term for Isis] and we
have links with some Daish members. We are waiting to see if they
meet the requirements for an Islamic caliphate," he said.
"If we find they do, we are sure that our
leadership will announce their allegiance to them. They are great
mujahideen. We pray for them and if we don't see a problem in the way
they operate, we will join them."
