there is particular concern about Isis’s treatment of Islamic scholars in recent years, and that attacks on them demonstrate that Baghdadi cannot be considered a true caliph.

As Isis crumbled, the group’s security arm became ever more ruthless in its efforts to crack down on dissent. Islamic scholars and jurists who were perceived to pose a threat to Isis’s claim on theological authority were frequently executed.

The killings led to a schism between middle echelons of the group and some senior officials


This is great news, kind of buried in the article. The point is that the Muslims are now fighting among themselves.

The point is that the Muslims are now fighting among themselves.

When has that not been occurring?
