Caliphate Summer War

Iraq fighting rages after Sunni militants declare caliphate

 

Alarming regional and world powers, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed universal authority when it dropped the local element in its name and said its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as leader of the Islamic state, was now caliph of the Muslim world — a medieval title last widely recognized in the Ottoman sultan deposed 90 years ago after the First World War.
"He is the imam and caliph for Muslims everywhere," group spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said in an online statement on Sunday, using titles that carry religious and civil power.

 Dang. I had such hopes for this group. If Iraq was such a corrupt dive of a country , maybe the muslims would solve the problem and make their own , stable nation. 

But now , with this declaration that they rule the world , and all muslims should obey and all non-muslims need to die , I see the truth. 

This is a Summer War. 

What is a Summer War ? 

In europe , in the napolionic era , when there was no birth control , guess how they cut back the population ? They got all the young men all hot and bothered about some cause or another , and sent them off to war , deliberately seeking to get them killed off. Commanders actually had orders not to return until they had gotten rid of a certain amount of their command. 

The other muslim countries are not going to cow tow to some upstart, that much is certain. And the west certainly isn't going to stand back and let some islamic super power come into existance with the publically stated coal of brutally murdering anyone not following their particular brand of islam.

This is a summer war. It's just to get all the young men fire up , and then kill them off. A flash in the pan. It's going no where.

The concept of "Summer Wars" is interesting, however, despite having a quite expansive knowledge of history and also doing several Google searches, I have found no mention of "Summer Wars". Would you be able to cite your sources on this interesting subject?

No references besides a billion sites about some 2009 Japanimation movie, that is.
