The news that a one time senior Iraqi Baa'thist should die fighting for Isis reveals a little bit of the secrets of the Middle East. Al- Douri was a Sunni, but clearly a secularist. I suspect that the Islamist charade is mostly for European and American consumption, to keep the populace frightened, to give the masters an excuse to introduce the police state, so necessary for the War On Terror.
The truth is that the Western powers have been arming Iraqi Sunnis for several years. The creation of the Islamic State as a Sunni buffer zone between Syria and Shia Iran-Iraq is part of the deal with Iran, as was the overthrow of Morsi in Egypt, and the neutering of Hamas by Israel last summer.
Essentially, Iraq has been split up into spheres of influence. The Saudis and the Israelis appear nervous about the deal with Iran. Perhaps they have good reason.
