Maliki is guilty of sectarianism, support for Shia militias/death squads, graft and corruption, but ISIS is not merely a threat to Iraq. ISIS is an immediate threat to all Iraqis, all Syrians, and all people throughout the Levant. ISIS is a threat to world peace, security, and stability. If they succeed in creating a jihadist state, and they have had far too many success already, it will be a very dark period for all of us to come.
