Max Fisher — 40 maps that explain the Middle East


With the facts shifting back to the Middle East, this is good summary of the geographical history of the region. ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh/Caliphate isn't a major threat yet, but potentially it is a much bigger threat than Al Qaeda in its ability to attract Islamic fundamentalists (Wahhabis and Salafists).

A holy war against Shia muslims would be welcomed by the US.
