ATTACK IN NICE FRANCE

[esholars]

I wonder just what do these terrorist want or expect to gain by these attacks? These were harmless people celebrating a holiday. Sometimes I think these terrorist are instruments of evil and they are trying to force a world war.

They want to establish a caliphate. They had one once and they want one again.

"Historically, caliphates are governance under Islamic law, which calls for election of leadership under Sunni practice and selection from a group of imams in the Shia tradition. The rule of law by Islamic ethics is a common thread to the governance under of a caliphate. Caliphate rule was largely symbolic, the power of local sultans and rulers handling the day-to-day operations of government."
