Part 3
'The Islamic State now governs its caliphate from the north central Syrian city of Raqqa, which was once a relatively westernized agricultural hub. As the State's power base, Raqqa is where it imposes its version of Sharia law throughout large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
The “Hisbah” are the new Sharia police. In the latest episode of The Islamic State, VICE News joins them on their daily patrols during Ramadan, and witnesses how they check on shops and scrutinize produce, while at the same time ensuring their strict rules on women’s appearances are adhered to.
We are also taken to an Islamic State prison and speak with inmates accused of abusing drugs and selling alcohol. There we learn firsthand of the prisoners’ punishments, and how they have since “rediscovered” their devotion to the Islamic faith since their incarceration — but are yet to be granted permission to declare their allegiance to the caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.'

Someone (120 scholars, listed at the end of the document) got really annoyed:

Islamic State militants now world's richest: experts | AFP | Oct 25 2014
The Islamic State has become the world's wealthiest terror group, earning tens of millions of dollars a month from illegal oil sales and ransoms, officials said today.
"We have no silver bullet, no secret weapon to empty ISIL's coffers overnight. This will be a sustained fight, and we are in the early stages," said undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence David Cohen.
The group's "primary funding tactics enable it today to generate tens of millions of dollars per month," Cohen said.
"Those tactics include the sale of stolen oil, the ransoming of kidnap victims, theft and extortion from the people it currently dominates, and, to a lesser extent, donations from supporters outside of Syria and Iraq."
Oil sales alone from captured refineries are allowing the militants to produce some 50,000 barrels a day from fields in Syria and Iraq, representing a daily income of about $1 million.
Cohen said IS was selling the oil "at substantially discounted prices to a variety of middlemen, including some from Turkey, who then transported the oil to be resold."
Oil has also been sold to Kurds in Iraq, and then resold to Turkey, as it has "tapped into a long-standing and deeply rooted black market connecting traders in and around the area."
"In a further indication of the Assad regime's depravity, it seems that the Syrian government has made an arrangement to purchase oil from ISIL," Cohen said, referring to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
It has also generated about USD 20 million through kidnappings, particularly of journalists and European hostages.
And it demands money from local businesses in cities and towns which it has captured through "a sophisticated extortion racket."
US airstrikes were having an effect on hindering the militants' ability to produce oil, and US sanctions would target those found buying illegal oil, Cohen said.

Of course you know by now that Muslim scholars and apologists are masters of deception and could paint a Camel and present it as a Peacock in the market.
There are 24 articles in this summery which I believe I can debunk 21 of of them as fallacy, fabrication and no doubt I can provide reference and undeniable fact from Quran which those scholars will have difficulties to deny them Here we go:

20-It is forbidden in Islam to destroy the graves and shrines of Prophets and Companions.
Building a shrine over any ones grave is a blasphemy. Just google "Prophet Mohammad's grave". He does not have even his name written on his tomb stone. Which is the right way according to quran. Shiias are definitely idolators.
21-Armed insurrection is forbidden in Islam for any reason other than clear disbelief by the ruler and not allowing people to pray.
22-It is forbidden in Islam to declare a caliphate without consensus from all Muslims.
23-Loyalty to one’s nation is permissible in Islam.
