"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Syria rebel groups reject 'Islamic caliphate'- Al-Jazeera

Some rebel groups and Islamic scholars in Syria have rejected the announcement of a so-called Islamic caliphate by an increasingly powerful rival.

Nine groups, including fighters and religious scholars, have dismissed the statement by Islamic State, an al-Qaeda offshoot which declared its leader ruler of the Muslim world earlier this week after military gains in neighbouring Iraq.

The group, formerly called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), has seized parts of eastern Syria and western Iraq but is still battling rival armed groups in Syria.
