It's too bad that they just don't kill each other. Many people would breathe a sigh of relief if they did.
EXPERT: AL QAEDA AND ISIS MAY TRY TO 'OUT-JIHAD' EACH OTHER WITH ATTACKS ON WEST
by BREITBART LONDON 5 Jul 2014
Islamist terrorist groups may try to "out-jihad" each other with spectacular attacks on the West, according to an article by Quilliam think-tank member Charlie Cooper.
Writing for the Left Foot Forward website, Cooper who works for the counter-extremism think tank Quilliam said that the leaders of Al Qaeda and ISIS respectively may enter into a dangerous game of terrorism oneupmanship to be played out in the form of attacks on Western targets.
He wrote:
The recent declaration by the Islamic State (IS, as its now known) of the restoration of the caliphate further distils the level of risk we face.
It was effectively a declaration of war by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi against Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaeda. More likely than one group attacking the other, though, is the emergence of a competition between IS and AQ in which they will attempt to out-jihad each other with a high-profile attack on a Western target.
