Abstract
This article focuses on four major issues: the nature and main characteristics of the so-called jihadi quasi-state; a review of past and current jihadist emirates; the history of the Islamic State (the name can be understood in two ways: as a jihadi organization and quasi-state which control territory); and the immediate future of a new jihadi quasi-state.
