The description you get of ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) from people is not pleasant. George W. Bush has called ISIS “evildoers,” President Obama described ISIS as a spread of “cancer” over the Middle East, and John Kerry called ISIS “valueless evil” (jewishvirutallibrary.org, “The Islamic State: Background”). ISIS is the wealthiest, and most land controlling terrorist organization in history. This dangerous terrorist group needs to be stopped. As ISIS is a growing threat to the World’s safety, we as a nation need to work on limiting supplies to the Syrian people, border control into the United States, reduce ISIS’s income, along with continuing airstrikes and troops controlling the ground. With these series of tasks the …show more content…
The group began in 2004 originally as part of Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda group. ISIS has been increasing in size by self-selecting its followers and committing mass genocide of …show more content…
Donald Trump, who is known for being outspoken, has an idea. He wants to end ISIS forcefully. ISIS and Assad are mortal enemies so Trump wants us to let ISIS go fight Assad and then we come in and “pick up the remnants”. In other words, Trump wants us to lay off of ISIS and Syria for a while, let ISIS destroy Assad, and then we come in when that is all done to finish ISIS. Trump says “Look, with ISIS in Iraq, you got to knock them out. You got to knock them out. You got to fight them, and add boots on the ground if needed.” Trump also thinks we should have a strong military so nobody will mess with us. The problem with Trump’s plan is that ISIS wants to take over the world. They are so barbaric and controlling they are only going to expand and gain more power if we keep putting them off. At first President Obama thought that airstrikes on the main cities of Iraq would be enough, but now he has sent in special forces on land as of December 1st, 2015. Obama authorized airstrikes over Syria and told the nation he would send an additional 475 troops to Iraq in a non-combat role (Wescott). Sending troops over to Iraq and Syria for a declared war is basically making a decade long commitment to war and thousands of dead American soldiers. The US has also sent airstrikes to Libya last year taking out Libya's previous leader, Abu Nabil. Increase of control in Libya is likely to increase the level of international and
During the round table discussion, I learned many things about what’s really going on with Isis and the possible results of this terrorism. Some things I absorbed from Isis consist of how they want to try and pick a fight with everyone around them and how they are trying to make the end of times occur. The roots of terrorism goes back centuries. Some professors stated that Isis is only trying to get America’s undivided attention by doing all of this unnecessary damage. Dr. Parker claimed that they have enticed the use of social media to inflict fear upon the American population, and those around them. President Obama claimed in a speech that Isis had been contained, and then they attacked Paris which brought complete surprise upon everyone
A.Terrorism is a bold distinctive word it shows the act of causing terror of innocent people as well as the government(FBI).
ISIS is a group of people that are very bad and heartless. According to Obama " No faith teaches people to massacre innocents". ISIS, the group of terrorist use extreme violence against their enemies. They also plan brutal attacks, like the Paris attack. They don’t care if you didn’t do anything to them, they are still going to kill you no matter what. I personally think that there should be an end to all of this. ISIS has hurt a lot of innocent people. They have destroyed and damaged a lot of things. But they don’t care at all. I srtongeley dislike ISIS. I've always wondered why they do all of this? What's the cause and affect of it. Is there ever going to be a stop to it? Why do they hate us? Why do they hate people? Hopefully there's
Today, many people suffer from their doings. The ISIS was established in 1999. The ISIS was founded by Abu Musab al-Zaraqawi. ISIS attacked the Shia Muslims and their establishments first. The group received seed funding from Osama bin laden and swore allegiance to it in 2004 and changed its name to Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).
In today’s world, a horrible and tragic conflict is caused by the terrorist group called ISIS. ISIS stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and it is a terrorist group led by Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. ISIS is made up of fundamentalist Sunni Muslims and foreign Jihadists. Back in 2011, a civil war broke out in Syria in response to efforts to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad, Syria’s dictator at the time. ISIS quickly decided to take advantage and resulted in controlling a vast territory in Syria and Iraq. ISIS have been proved to execute prisoners of war, enslave minorities, and rape thousands of women and young females. ISIS wants to set up as what they view as a “pure” Islamic state. ISIS embrace a very tragic and violent version of the religion Islam.
ISIS stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, because the group's territory straddles the border between the two counties since 1999. ISIS is an unquestionably dangerous and potentially irrational force, that demands immediate decisive action. With the help of military intervention, I strongly believe ISIS can be abolished. And the world can become a more secure place for everyone involved.
This topic is relevant today because it is happening today. With the rise of the terrorist group, ISIS, we wonder what will happen to the world and if WW3 could happen. So if we learn from our mistakes, we can pass it and try to stop the newest threats today. History will repeat itself if we do not learn from it. We have a group that is ruthlessly slaughtering people, which is like the Nazi’s did to the Jews. So the topic is relevant today because if we do not learn from history, it will repeat itself, so by learning from this terrible time on the world, we can stop the new groups that might do the same thing.
The U.S government should send troops and help provide financial support to Syria and Iraq to help abolish ISIS. If us Americans don’t do something about it soon they're going to go further on with threatening the U.S or even more. We would be really foolish to think that ISIS will not plan attacks against the west now that it has the space and security to do so. ISIS has slaughtered religious oppositions in which include Christians and Yazidis, and American air strikes can prevent wanton killing. ISIS is planning attacks that we have no idea about.
There are few differences between ISIS and Al Qaeda, which consists of few hundreds fighters, does not hold territory and can’t fight with military forces.
ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is an extremist group that branched from the Sunni terrorist group, al Qaeda, specifically the Iraq faction. Although ISIS has primarily focused on initiatives in the Middle Eastern region, the recent killing of American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotlof following U.S. airstrikes targeting ISIS, has caused controversy as to whether ISIS is a threat to the United States. The first invasion of Iraq by the United States in 2003 gradually led to the conflict known as the Iraq War. After decades spent fighting, US troops are still on the ground in the Middle East today. Over the past few years, ISIS has emerged as a major player in the region, and has been brutally attacking its own country and people over the past year, attempting to take control of the entire states of Iraq and Syria. The growing influence of ISIS and their use of extreme violence has led to debate over whether the United States should send troops to help combat ISIS. In this report, we will determine if it is economically savvy or detrimental to send troops, if it is ethical to invade combat ISIS on the ground, and if it is politically prudent to do so.
The rise of Isis is a big thing in the world we live in now. Every Country is at the risk of ISIS attacking them. There have been many attacks that ISIS has carried out, for example of what they have done is the 9/11 attack, this was a really sad day for the American people. The ISIS group hijacked 4 air planes and 2 got ramped into the twin towers kill many people, and one of the other planes crashed into the Pentagon and the 4th plane crashed in a field, 2,996 people died on the 11 of September. This was all from ISIS., another attack ISIS did was the Paris shooting, the 3 people who are members of ISIS ran into this ma magazine writer and open fire in this work place and killed 17 people, after they did their thing, they jumped into a car and drove off, the reason they did this was because the magazine writer made fun of their god. Over the many years that ISIS have been around they have done over hundred attacks. The points that I will be touching on is the background, chronology, how have we changed, Groups affected and different perspectives. ISIS is also known as ISIL. ISIL stands for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ISIS operates around the world but most of the time ISIS operates in western Iran and also in eastern Syria. ISIS has a massive stretch of ground in both of those states. This makes it military the most effective is jihadi movement ever. While the specific size is unknown, we believe that ISIS has thousands and hundreds of fighters. ISIS comes from
The radical Islamic terrorist organization, recently re-titled “the Islamic State,” has existed under several names since the 1990s. Its history is an epic of how modern terrorism progressed from a religious and political ideal into an obliterating cult. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a properly-armed group that is a threat to the global security. ISIS, whose merciless members delight in murdering innocent people, must be destroyed before its fanatical followers carry out further genocides. There is an ongoing debate on whether the United States ought to take stronger military actions against the extremist organization, ISIS, or not. Supposing that the United State does not act promptly, ISIS will fortify its territory and
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) came to power a decade ago as a small terrorist threat that grew out of the terrorist organization Al Qaeda. When the United States began to pull its troops in the Middle East, Iraq leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, took advantage of the unstable government and reinvigorated ISIS. In just this past year, ISIS has shown us that it is more powerful than Al Qaeda by conquering oil fields and territory in Iraq and Syria with the hopes of creating a caliphate- an Islamic state. ISIS uses violence to take control of Middle Eastern territory from non-Muslims, Americans, Westerners, and non-Sunni Muslims.
In reality, the only way to stop ISIS in Syria is to stop the Syrian civil war, and the best possible solution would be to remove President Assad from power. Although there would be backlash from Iran and Russia, this could be done simply by charging Assad, and his key supporters in government, with violations in Human Rights in the International Criminal Court, or the International Court of Justice. After he is taken out of power, negotiations can take place to determine the new government in Syria. When the US replaced the Hussein regime with a fully Shi’ite regime, they neglected to include any members from the previous regime, or any members from the Kurdish and Sunni populations. It is because of this why ISIS was able to flourish in Iraq; and the best way to undo this decision, is to also engage in negotiations.
While Syria has a civil war to contend with, terrorist groups have begun to take advantage of the situation in order to further expand their reign of influence. Terrorist groups similar to the Islamic State have begun to infiltrate Syria in hopes of creating new camps and to take control of Syria as a whole. “The second factor is to recognize the fact that the real threat is not Bashar Assad but the Islamic State. “The collapse of the Assad regime would be the worst possible outcome for American interests—depriving Syria of its remaining state institutions and creating more space for the Islamic State and other extremists to spread mayhem” (How). With their involvement it has made the conflict even greater and has only increased the involvement of foreign nations. With the regime and rebels having to fight in both
