Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to IS.  This is giving me chills.  Can anyone set my mind at ease on this one?

I don't worry overmuch about IS.   To put it bluntly, IS lacks the ascetic purity needed to sustain itself much past its initial flush of success.   IS is much more like a violent over ambitious drug cartel that relies on perks it pays to its motley collection of foot solders.     I don't think IS would have anything like the staying power of Al Qaeda.
