"ISIS not the Islamic state it fiercely claims to be". Olean Times Herald. March 18, 2015. I approach Wikipedia cautiously as to whether its abundant information on a multitude of subjects is complete and authoritative. But I salute the site for its numerous citations concerning the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS — specifically the "criticism of the name 'Islamic State' and 'caliphate' declaration" (found under its entry for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).

In the part with the opposition to ISIL it is mentioned that “Artsakh” is a state. This “state” is formed on internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan Republic and a million of azerbaijanis have been displaced from their place of living. The region of Nagorno Karabagh is a part of Azerbaijan and even Armenia itself does not recognize its puppet organization. 109.205.160.236 (talk) 19:51, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

BBC article on Islamic State outpost in Mozambique[edit]
According to a BBC article that was published on May 5th, 2020, a recent insurgency in Mozambique is linked to the Islamic State. The BBC Africa correspondence wrote the following: "The idea that the rebellion in Cabo Delgado is, at its core, part of a global jihadist movement, has been given credibility by the militants themselves, who publicly swore allegiance to IS last year."
Can someone open the article so I could add this important fact? --JohnBJP (talk) 14:03, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello all, any idea where should this biography be cited and included ? Yug(talk) 17:40, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Why was the comparison with colonial/revolutionary france removed?[edit]
It is a relevant comparison for people to see to see the level of violence of ISIS, specifically those in Algeria and other former French colonies whose idea of violence is shaped by French colonialism. It also shows how ISIS's state building tactics resemble those of revolutionary France more than they do any Islamic government of the past, in that ISIS is an attempt to build a nation state like those after the treaty of westphalia where as the Caliphates of old were more akin to classical empires. I think that comparison is very relevant and very important to create the correct image of ISIS in people's heads.FullMetal234 (talk) 21:51, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
