Just guessing, but I think they are trying to better their odds of getting laid. Though if they just killed themselves apparently their odds go way up.

It's just a meme. Ten years from now, it'll be as relevant as Rickrolls are today.
Hey, there's an idea... Anyone tried Rickrolling those guys yet? Wouldn't it be hilarious if they tried to publish one of their videos, and someone intercepted and modified it so fifteen seconds in, it cut to that video we all know and love/loathe?

You have to consider these hateful fiends in terms of business:
Those at the top, who never risk there own safety or comfort, stand only to keep their position if havoc is in play. Some do it with bloodshed (Yassir Arafat, while he looted US$ 2 Billion from "his people"); Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton: racial strife is their stock-in-trade; The middle east? The the Kings, Emirs, etc., can keep there populace accepting poverty (while they drown in wealth) by pointing to an outside enemy (Israel) as the cause: and in that case, the problem really is that it's the only state in the region with rights for women and minorities, investment in infrastructure, education, etc., and allows for defacto religious freedom. They set a bad example so they must be eliminated. There was, after all, no concept, certainly amongst the arabs states, of a palestinian state until Egypt made peace. Now they needed new cannon fodder. Add unrealistic goals and religious zealotry to the mix, and, ta-dah, you have Gaza under the brutal rule of Hamas.
As another on this thread noted, they real game at the top is always money/power. Invoking deity as the justification is a sure way of doing whatever you want to whomever you want. The poor and the desperate, always the most devout, can now take their frustrations out on "THEM".
In this century, Islam is leading the charge in barbarity. They've a long way to go to catch up to Christendom's history of atrocities, but they're certainly trying hard. Muslim-on-Muslim slaughters between the different sects is simply their tradition (everyone else is a heretic).

Not the result the west wanted when they push democracy.

Sadly, it takes more than being told "you're free" to really free someone.
Former Soviet Union is an example: to a significant extent, there is a preference for a dictatorship type of government. Few if any decisions to worry about - ironically, that also applies to some necessities.
In the west, we're somewhat more use to the idea of fending for ourselves on the individual level. Also true of small groups (nomadic, tribal, etc.).
So - in the middle east, with the exception of Israel (and to what may be a vanishing extent, Turkey, should it turn away from it's secular-demanding constitution), we have either nomadic peoples scattered about somewhat oblivious to government and those harshly ruled by a central government, where they know what's expected of them.
Perhaps it's as simple as: "There's comfort in knowing who you're afraid of!"

"Caliphate" is a way of government in Islam. Its guards the peoples against each and every social entity. It was a real democratic system, from which today's democracy was extracted. You can see more at web.
and about the peoples that claim for caliphate today:
Islam don't allow to kill any innocent person. In Islam, killing any innocent human equals killing whole humanity. and saving a human equals saving whole humanity.
These peoples are misguided, uneducated, and controlled peoples to dishonor Islam. They are not fighting for caliphate, rather there are political, and international issues. They are being used to control countries, to destroy the economics, and to have a hold on that countries. It's fight of interests.
In Islam if you face a snake and want to kill him, you are ordered to kill him at once, you are not allowed to kill him with punishment. Then how it's possible that a Muslim can kill innocent peoples.
Hope these lines helps you.
Have a nice day.

Greed and power are the root cause of all problems. Poverty and ignorance are the reasons why the minor few can take advantage of the majority.

Take advantage? How do you mean?

Convince them that killing will bring them rewards, wealth, happiness in the afterlife, and many other reasons.

"Caliphate" is a pretty close synonym of "kingdom", so all that's happened is that the press has used their word, rather than ours, to allow them to portray it as evil.

Nope.
I was (55) last February, not (8). I suspect there are very, very few under tens here.

Code Project Rule of the Day
Rule 13: Don't feed the trolls with low reputations.
Today we rest on a very important rule. Find the guidelines here[CP]
Lets meditate on this rule and try and implement it in our daily CP use today.
If any more suggestions arise feel free to comment any other rules. The original post started here

You just need to define what means low reputation
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true
|
|
|
|
|
Then send sub rule suggestion to the rule... Like rule 13.A, or 13.1 or somesorts

I might then set a sub rule for that.
Like 13.1: If feeding trolls with high rep only feed them Cannabis.
