ISIS and ISIL are the same. They want a caliphate.

if some here like to read, i highly recommend this book, Islamic Fundamentalism 3rd Edition: The Story of Islamist Movements by Youssef M. Choueiri

it discusses the rise of islamic fundamentalism during 1951, which helped to create the road map to where we are today.

it's available on google books.
