"If Hillary takes the White House, the odds are in their favor.
‘ISIS’ Tweets New Map of 5-Year Plan for World Conquest,” By Sam Prince, Heavy, December 10, 2015 (thanks to Christian):
A new map purportedly released by the Islamic State shows Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East drawn-up to show the lands it plans dominate within five years. The map spans countries from Spain in the west to China in the east and includes the new names of the familiar lands if the terrorist state’s “caliphate” prevails.
. . .
Whoa, not so fast; That Map Of The ISIS 5-Year Conquest Plan? Flawed, Experts Say  "ABC News' headline read: “See the Terrifying ISIS Map Showing its 5-Year Expansion Plan.” It traced the map back not to the Sunni militant group, but to A3P, an American political party that promotes white supremacy. Other media organizations that published the map include The Daily Mail, The Blaze, a conservative news site founded by Glenn Beck, and iO9, a blog launched by Gawker Media in 2008.
. . . 
"Although ISIS has garnered new weaponry from its conquests in Iraq, analysts have said it is not likely to take over land outside of the region. Austin Long, a professor at Columbia University, said the group is not even sure if it can take on Baghdad, let alone invade another country."
