This may be very far from truth, in fact quite the opposite may apply when it comes to the reward
Here's an interesting insight

If you put together how much land and resources these newly emerging chalifates (Niger. Sudan, Syria, Iraq...) gained just in the past year I am afraid we are up to many more very, very bad things happening soon,
All those money and resources burned on Iraq or Lybia would now sure come handy.
