How Isil 's Current Territory Is Not The Group 's First Attempt

The key drivers of uncertainty for ISIS in these scenarios include its ability to management its level fundamentalism and stability within its environment. Muslim conduct Islamic fundamentalism when they live and project on to others the original interpretation of Muhammed teachings. The most radical fundamentalism is Wahhabi or Salafist, supporting the conservative and extreme interpretation of the Quran and Sharia Law. ISIS uses its radical fundamentalist interpretation of Quran and Sharia Law to conduct its killing, caliphate and management its people. Due to its major combat losses, ISIS may want a less aggressive approach of fundamentalism to be more appealing to large portions of the Muslim community. The moderate fundamentalism approach used the both the uses the Quran and Sharia Law as well but used political governance or over more aggressive violence to achieve its strategic objectives. To regain personnel and strengthen its forces, ISIS may want to consider globalism over nationalism to improve stability. Although Globalism promotes international investment along with the spread of ideas and culture to other nations, ISIS may want to engage with Nationalism approach to strength it based in Iraq or Syria. All four scenarios review the importance of both fundamentalism and stability as major driving factors projecting the future of an uncertain

Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which controls territory mainly in Iraq and Syria, was formed in April 2013, it was grown out of al Qaeda. The main ideology behind the organisation is based on Islamism, Salafism and Salafi Jihadism. ISIS was originally founded by Abu Musab al Zarqawi in Iraq. Before ISIL was established, Zarqawi has set up an al Qaeda franchise in Iraq during the occupation of country by the Americans. Later, however, Zarqawi became so extreme, his brutal actions in Iraq offended the jihadists, and led to al Qaeda disavowing him.

ISIL’s goal is to overthrow the current governments and create their own universal caliphate. To top it off, ISIL (for example) distorts the Quran and the teachings to support their moral justification on the violence they create in their path. The United States and its allies attacked ISIL at their strong

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or simply the Islamic State (IS), is a Salafi jihadi extremist militant group and self-declared caliphate led by Sunni Muslim Arabs from Iraq and Syria. Prior to March 2015, it had control over the territory of Iraq and Syria and some parts of Libya and Nigeria, as well as more than ten million people. ISIS has been classified as a terrorist organization by the United Nations, the European Union and its member states, the United States of America, Russia, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. Furthermore, over 60 countries are directly or indirectly waging war against Isis. The terrorist group, which originated as Jama’at

ISIS/ISIL is an unrecognized state and a Jihadist militant group operating in Iraq and Syria. The group claims religious authority over all Muslims and aspires to a macro state, which includes many countries in the Middle East: Cyprus, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, and part of Syria. ISIS is known for its uncompromising interpretation of Islam. The group is responsible for brutal violence against Shia Muslims and Christians. They started an attack against the Iraqi government forces in June of 2014 and many mercenaries joined the group. ISIS has gain great popularity since last year and has become a big threat to the whole world. The group was

In June 2014, “ISIS fighters swept through Iraq's northwestern and central provinces” (Beauchamp 8). ISIS had easily defeated the weak government left by America after the invasion of Iraq. By the end of June, ISIS controlled over a third of Iraq. Meanwhile, ISIS also takes over a large part of Syria as well. After taking over large areas in both Iraq and Syria, “Baghdadi declared his territory a Caliphate on July 4” (Beauchamp 9). A Caliphate is an Islamic state led by a religious successor of the prophet Muhammad known as a Caliph. By declaring the territories a Caliphate, Baghdadi had meant that ISIS was now a state. And so, the plans of ISIS to turn Syria and Iraq into an Islamic state had been set into

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, known as ISIS, has become a major threat as an organized militaristic terrorist organization. ISIS was not even a threat as much as 10 years ago, but since then this organization has formed and become an increasingly violent group, making public demonstrations of the beheadings of innocent people, baiting western nations. By taking trained terrorist and organizing them, ISIS has been able to form a military, thus making a real militaristic threat; this has allowed ISIS create it’s own state and maintain it’s borders. The historically recent development of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has taken a step further than infamous terrorist groups such as it’s former partner al Qaeda and become

And yet it’s true that ISIS is not exactly what we’ve become accustomed to seeing in the Middle East of late. “This is not a classic insurgency,” says Itani, “or a non-state actor. Rather, it’s a state-building organization.” ISIS’s effort right now is to secure borders and lines of communication. Comparing ISIS’s project with al Qaeda’s, Itani notes that bin Laden’s logic was to draw the United States into conflict with the Muslim world in the hope of making the people so disgusted with their regimes that al Qaeda could take over. ISIS is different: It aims to take territory, hold it, and build a state. That is, at a moment when much of the rest of the Middle East is moving toward chaos, the Islamic State is consolidating, and beginning to

It is explicit that free world governments have to neutralize self-proclaimed jihadist extremist militant organization the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Today, ISIL controls significant areas of Syria and Iraq and small part of territory of Libya, Nigeria and Afghanistan. Number of ISIL's troops amounts up to 200 thousand soldiers. ISIL makes war on UN, EU, USA, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria and around 60 other governments that defined it as a terrorist organisation. However, ISIL opponents, instead of creating the single international coalition, divided into the many scattered coalitions that refuse to work together. Air strikes of US-led coalition on extremists on the territory of Iraq and those of other opponents of

Subsequent to al-Qaeda and ISIS separating, ISIS gained massive power as a result of their good military and military leadership. ISIS 's amount of fighters has risen to

Over the past few years the world has witnessed the rapid emergence of one of the most dangerous and violent terrorist organizations in history. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, better known as ISIL or ISIS and formerly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq, is an Islamic extremist group that has caught the attention of the world because of the swift and ferocious way that the group has been able to seize large portions of Iraq and Syria. ISIS has displayed such brutality in its attacks, with mass executions, beheadings, and crucifixions becoming the norm, that even Osama bin Laden, the now deceased founder of the infamous militant Islamic organization, al-Qaeda, eventually chose to dissociate from them (Saletan, 2014). Although the Middle East is no stranger to religious extremism and political unrest, the ferocity and speed at which ISIS was able to gain control is unprecedented. As the atrocities of the group’s rampage through Iraq and Syria came to light, the world was left scratching its head wondering how ISIS was so quickly able to gain power and control over such a large territory. The answer lies in a look back at the poor decisions made by the Bush Administration after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It was the desire of the United States to withdraw from Iraq too quickly, their appointment of inept leadership, and a series of careless decisions that allowed ISIS to take advantage of an unstable government left behind by the United States after the Iraq War.
