They have laws, courts, schools, taxes, an army, and a territory. Sounds like a state to me.

It's really not clear what point you're trying to make, if any at all.

If you don't like reading about ISIS, then don't. It's as easy as that.

And it'll make you look a lot less pretentious than you are right now.

I dont like that Islamic radicals are referred to as a 'state'. Usually it takes long time for area to be recognized as 'state', and its first step towards official recognition by other governments.

Historically, 'areas' have declared themselves states and killed anybody who disagreed, until people stopped disagreeing.

Islamic State has existed since about 2006.

But it isn't. If it were, the UK could then remove the citizenship of current UK citizens who become ISIS admirers avowing violence against Britons and Britain. Currently they have difficulty with that because it's not possible to make someone stateless.
