The new caliphate: a map purportedly showing the areas ISIS plans to have under its control within five years has been widely shared online.

Spain, which was Muslim-ruled until the late 15th Century, would form part of the caliphate, as would the Balkan states and eastern Europe, up to and including Austria.
