The list of the enemies of ISIS that hold military power is not just limited to states. This includes other terrorist organizations. But, wait a minute. Don’t al-Qaeda and ISIS seem to be made for each other? Shouldn’t they be comrades, best buddies, brethren-in-arms against the US? They should, but they aren’t. How did this happen?

A simple explanation would be that, in their hot-headed jihadi fervor, ISIS became too extreme, even for al-Qaeda. Many leaders of al-Qaeda warned ISIS against issuing sweeping proclamations of apostasy (declaring Muslims to be non-Muslims). The result? Some ISIS leaders, in turn, declared that the leaders of al-Qaeda were – you guessed it right – apostates.

And that’s not it. The list of terrorist organizations that are scrambling away to distance themselves from ISIS is long and growing. It includes other prominent organizations, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
