When the Islamic State seized the town several years ago there was exultation among its ranks regarding the coming defeat of the Crusaders at Dabiq; once the town was lost, the group reminded its soldiers—and the world—that prophecy implied that Mecca and Medina must fall to the caliphate’s forces before the battle at Dabiq, and that this had not yet occurred.	cache/ajiss-834.pdf	txt/ajiss-834.txt
