I looked up fascism and thought this particular definition was not far off the mark for what is happening.
Each Caliphate has it's Caliph who is all powerful. It's always about power!
"A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion. [Robert O. Paxton, "The Anatomy of Fascism," 2004]" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fascism
