In the study of the Islamic State, it can be assumed that it adds a new type of objective, a political and religious objective. This goal adds the sovereign aspect of the religious-ideological objective. Future researchers of terrorism must understand that there is a new goal for terrorism in the world – the integration between a separatist-ethnic goal and a religious-ideological goal. In other words, terrorism in the 21st century no longer strives to remove a foreign presence or to establish a regular state recognized by the United Nations but to establish political sovereignty on an ancient-religious background on the global level (regardless of ethnic affiliation).
