That is what ISIS is trying to do, build a caliphate.
I agree with you though. The threat needs to be taken very seriously. We will see something along the lines that France experienced. A 9/11 style attack is probably out of the question in terms of all the logistics but we very well could see bigger death tolls by a very small group like this one.
They cannot stand face-to-face to our military and defeat us so they must rely on the random attacks that are extremely tough to stop.
