Nine out of ten - and it's disputed as to whether ISIS was "too brutal for AQ" or it split over who got to found the Calphate (because it can't be centered in both Syria-Iraq and Afghanistan-Pakistan).

Small Wars Journal, SOFREP, Foreign Policy, Professional Soldiers and many other resources daily.

Know your prey.

But these were not very in depth questions with deep content such as structure, revenue, who's who, and the like. However, the questions are still facts to know, no matter how seemingly JV.

Can we start making a card deck on these people yet?

100% but I'll admit to guessing on a few of the questions. I guessed on why ISIS split from al-Qaeda, who IRAN was backing (it seemed like such a silly question to me I thought Iraq just HAD to be the answer) and finally guessed on the leader of ISIS. I just had to come clean here, I DO avidly watch the news and I follow a number of different news sites online. I would also say that since I'm no longer on active duty it impacts my depth of knowledge. Fun quiz and I learned something. Thanks for posting.
