Presumably, at least this gives some semblance of a government, some possibility for improvements to infrastructure, etc.

And if they have Sharia, at least they don't have anarchy. Sharia is a much more fair method to solve your problems than an AK-47.

And when these groups own whole countries, how can you say they are "fringe"? They are what they are, but when you have millions of adherents, you're something, but fringe, you ain't.
