ISIS

Their have been terrorists and terrorist organizations before, but, ISIS has been the most focused of terror groups in a long time. ISIS is one of the most dangerous terror organizations in the world, founded in the islamic state of Iraq. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi founded ISIS in 1999. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was a soldier in another terrorist group named Al Qaeda. In 2004 al-Zarqawi established al Qaeda in Iraq. Al Qaeda had a lot or armies focus on them for a while, but ever since, ISIS came in wreaking havoc, blowing up public and religious sites, decapitating victims, crucifying people and doing public executions. All the attention was taken off of Al Qaeda for a while. He was soon killed in an airstrike attack in 2006. The current leader of ISIS, Al

ISIS is a terrorist organization and perhaps the most successful one. They have seized huge chunks of Syria and Iraq. They are an anti-western militant group devoted to establishing an independent Muslim Islamic state but no country recognizes them as a state. People have been shot and killed in the name of ISIS because they have a different political or religious viewpoint. ISIS believes religion gives them the right to attack others with differing political views. ISIS is an example of how certain beliefs can start a war. Wars are started for many reasons but they often start because of a group’s strongly held belief surrounding religion, race or political views. Wars or conflicts hurt and kill millions of people. But certain groups feel

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, better known as ISIS, is a terrorist group with the intentions to generate fear among people by committing acts of terror. Their short term goals are to inflict fear into the eyes of the world, along with attracting Muslims from various countries for its self-proclaimed cause (Wood). Their long term intentions are to overthrow the all other governments and establish an Islamic culture based only on Sharia law (Wood).

ISIS is a mysterious but well publicized group of people, that mainly covers the Middle East with force. The Islamic State is unknown and yet to be discovered by the United States government. People across Europe are joining ISIS, many are regular citizens around the world, but some become psychopaths and cause ISIS to control places with supreme radical tactics. The group is becoming more powerful and modernized as time goes on. This is leading up to a world wide crisis based on what ISIS really is and what they want. Throughout the article What ISIS Really Wants, Graeme Woods shows that ISIS is a very dominant/threatening group, and wants to be known.

“The emergence of terrorism in a new form has sent tremors of anxiety around the globe. ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic state and caliphate, has redefined the meaning of terror by combining relentless barbarism with military skill, religious bigotry, unprecedented affluence and the shrewd use of video and social media” (FulFord, 2014). If you do not join them, you are against them and they will use any measure necessary even beyond our thinking to strike fear into anyone that chooses to oppose them and their ideology. They will go to any extreme to accomplish their goal even if it means to take you and the rest of the world out one area at a time. They are estimated to have at least 31,000 fighters (DePetris, 2014). One of the major things that stands out for IS is that they are able to not only capture large territories, but to maintain those territories and establish Islamic caliphate. Not only did they do this, but also they accomplished this in the very heart of the Arabic world. This is something no other terrorist organization has been able to accomplish. They did this through several massive killings of over 200 plus people at one time, beheadings and executions (DePetris, 2014). This by far appears to be the most dangerous group of terrorist in the world

Global Ethics & Ecosystems religion throughout the world. Many politicians have tried to understand and deal with the group but it is an impossible feat because there hasn’t been this radical of a religious group in the current generations. If only they were around for the crusades, maybe Isis could be dealt with more educatedly. However, that is not the case and we must do our best to interpret who they are and what exactly they want. Multitudes of news outlets, magazines, and articles have all tried to answer this seemingly simple question. But the two counterarguments crafted by Graeme Wood and Mehdi Hasan seem to be the most tangible. The

ISIS has become a powerful and fearful terrorist group that has taken over the mind of people by their tactics and combat attacks. The way they benefit and control their power is by the funds they acquire to function. The way they function rely on what we have learned through class about rational theory. They rely on strategic ways and tactics to set a agenda setting and to put a strong opponent in fear (Kearns, 2015, p.5). This is accomplished with funds they acquire through many techniques. One of the main ways to gain funds is by kidnapping and taking people hostage. There so much that can be done to prevent this and to save the lives of those hold hostage. A hostage as defined is “an innocent person held captive by another who threatens

To many, this group is a representation of Islam and affirms the stereotype that Islam is comprised of radical terrorists that are cruel to women, children, and minorities. Commonly, Westerners maintain that Muslims oppose peace and, instead, are set on converting everyone to Islam. This paper, therefore, will examine the basic tenants and beliefs of ISIS and compare them to mainstream Islamic beliefs and tenants. Finally, it will attempt to answer two poignant questions: Is ISIS is an Islamic group and is the media justified in portraying them as such?

More profoundly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS is the upbringing of a new organization that has made people think twice about Muslim’s. ISIS claims to be a state and is spreading chaos and terrorism across the world, putting fear into many countries eyes. ISIS was formed in 2004 as Al-Qaeda in Iraq it was an ally of Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda. In 2014 ISIS disowned the group. Through recent events ISIS has proved to be a much more deadly and brutal group than Al-Qaeda ever was. They are a self sufficient funding organization. They work like a government and attack like a military that’s why they are a lot harder to fight. ISIS controls more than half of Syria’s oil assets which makes its way to the black market and earns them upwards of $3 million dollars every day. These people are extremists and perform inhumane acts such as beheadings of people and posting them online. A few months ago ISIS had captured a Japanese journalist by the name of Kenji Goto. After asking Japan for an incredible large sum of money to release the hostage Japan declined. ISIS released a video two days after of the beheading of the civilian; this is when people started to take them seriously. ISIS has carried out several attacks around the world such as the recent attacks that took place in Paris. Several bombings resulted in the entire city in lockdown for the rest of the day and

The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham is a terrorist organization that began as Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Since Al-Sham can mean Syria or the Levant, media and governments usually refer to them as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL); some use the derogatory name Daesh in order to avoid recognizing the group’s claims. The Islamic State declared themselves a caliphate with Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi becoming Caliph Ibrahim. He claims authority over all loyal Muslims worldwide, and uses extreme violence in an attempt to spread their extreme ideology. They pose a great threat to the Middle East and the West as long as they continue to exist and hold power in the region. In order to limit the radical long-term effect they could have on the world, the nations of the Coalition against them must devote all available resources to destroying the organization rather than many devoting some resources to containing them.

ISIS has been responsible for thousands and thousands of deaths around the world. These deaths were mostly Muslims in Syria and Iraq, but not too long ago have had a public bombing in France that killed over 100 innocent civilians. There have also been all types of threats all over the world, including some to the United States. With these killings and threats, ISIS involves the religious element of sinful acts. Murdering innocent people is found to be profane and sinful in Islam. ISIS main goal and conception is that the world is headed toward a final battle between Muslims (ISIS) and everyone else. This conception represents another religious element of salvation. Religions view salvation as the ultimate goal of life and to ISIS’s salvation is to have a war against everyone, but their own kind. Many people are blank to this terrorist group and have many of their own beliefs that all Muslims are like or in ISIS. Many people are uneducated and just believe stereotypes about Muslims and their religion. ISIS is a gruesome terrorist group that causes world conflict and uses their own Islamic religious beliefs to do
