“Mr-row,” Isis greeted, bumping my cheek with her nose. A smile softened my face as she licked my face, cleaning me of the dirt and tears. “Hello Isis,” I murmured, petting her smooth, black fur. Her coat was dusty and turned her black fur into gray- to be honest, the fact that she was alive surprised me but I was thankful. Isis had been with me for a very long time, and I didn’t want to lose another friend tonight. The tension in my heart lessened its knot and I felt much more peaceful than I had before. I’d often idly wondered if Isis was a mutant cat. Sometimes she seemed to have special powers. I sat up, forcing Isis to hop off of me. Standing up, I brushed the dirt off of my dress and started to make my way back to the others. Though I had no doubt that they didn’t want to see me, I knew I should get back. …show more content…
The light rays showed the dust motes that were still floating through the air. I felt as much at peace as I could until I made it back outside. The others were sitting near the entrance on the benches. Looking at them, I felt my chest tighten again. I started walking slower, hoping to deal the inevitable. But as soon as they saw me, they pretended as if they couldn’t see me. One by one, they each avoided my gaze. Alex glared at me when I first tentatively entered but even he looked away. They all looked exhausted and
During ISIS’s rise to power, there have been several key players, which have influenced the growth or decline of its movement. The center of Gravity (COG) for ISIS has been its ability to recruit volunteer foreign fighters from around to engage in its caliphate. In addition, local people from Iraqi, Syrian, and other Nations have been key players because of ISIS’s efforts promote fear and violence against their family or communities. Sunnis and Shia countries focused on regional power and security. Furthermore, the U.S. and its 70 Allies through Operation Inherent Resolve Campaign aim to defeat ISIS and promoting regional stability. The last key players are rival terrorist franchises or organizations like AQ, Taliban, Al Shabaab, and Hamas
In Noah Rayman’s article “CIA Director Says ISIS Not Islamic, But ‘Psychopathic’” he quotes the CIA director saying that ISIS isn’t Islamic, but psychopathic. Rayman correlates this to Obama’s refusal to accept ISIS as a branch of Islamic ideology, and the controversy it has caused. They both claim that ISIS is undeserving of such nomination, and they use this as a means to recruit “regular” Muslims. Brennan goes on to say they “don’t deserve it at all”. The commander in chief and the CIA director both truly believe ISIS, and other extreme jihadist groups, are an isolated manifesto perpetuated to illude susceptible Muslims into devoting themselves to their cause and made-up apocalyptical scenario.
On November 13, 2015, the Islamic radical group ISIS carried out an assault on Paris killing over 129 citizens, wounding 352, and critically wounding 99 of them.
“Zarqawi an associate collaborator of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda lieutenants”. These words are part of Colin Powell’s speech presented at the Security Council. These words of a Secretary of State (2001-2005) have drawn a connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq. These words have really started the disaster (Kirk). Iraq declared its independence relatively recently on October 3, 1932 ("Iraq Government"). Because the system of government as well as its politics and politicians are still developing, the country still has so many unresolved social, economic, and political issues. “The Secret History of ISIS” is a documentary that demonstrates to which consequences these problems have led, lays out the timeline of how the ISIS was created, and depicts how the American government was not able to react according to the situation quick enough. Michael Kirk, creator of “The Secret History of ISIS”, reveals the great influence of mass media, implies the importance politics, and how individuals with authority can become a disaster.
were walking out, there was an eerie silence among them. When they got supplies, they went
ISIS started a female force to punish the women that do not follow the rules. At the checkpoints, ISIS has the men and women have their private parts inspected to make sure that the individual is truly, a female or male (Gilsinan, 2014).
After reading the CFR Backgrounders it does not say that ISIS poses a fundamental threat to U.S. national security. But what it does tell you is that, just because ISIS isn’t an existential threat right now doesn’t mean that United States can take it easy because it is still a serious threat to the US. The experts said that ISIS is a serious threat to international security but they agreed that the group, is in the wake of the Paris attacks, but it does not qualify as an existential threat to the United States. ISIS pose eminent threat to anybody who does not belong to ISIS group.
A young twenty-three year old woman named Alex was the primary persona that is involved within this article. She became the main target of ISIS members due to her lonely and isolated lifestyle. Alex’s occupation included being a Sunday school teacher as well as a babysitter who earned three-hundred dollars a month. Alex’s story gives off a sympathetic vibe, because it is not like she randomly chose to join ISIS. It all began with her curiosity about the extremists, and the cognitive process in which they took a part of when they beheaded James Foley, the journalist. Because she did not have that much of a social life, as well as living with her grandparents for the majority of her life, she became a very easy target to the ISIS extremists.
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
I looked to my right to eye over Margaret, to see how she was handling the situation and if it was better than I had handled it before, and I found her to be as calm, cool, and collected as ever, as if such a pandemonium stricken scenario was of normalcy to her. I returned my line of sight onwards as Margaret took the lead, seeing as I was accompanying her to a destination of which only she knew the location, and began to feel a strange anxiety swell within me, mostly in part to feeling suffocated between packets of debris and woven human beings. Nevertheless, I

There was a button pinned to it with a picture of a black and white cat. “Hey, cute cat,” I said. I watched as the corners of her mouth lifted ever so slightly. Every line in her forehead disappeared. Her hairline actually seemed to move back as her brow relaxed. “That’s Mr. Mittens,” she purred as she began to tell me about her little buddy. “He’s at the vet right now and I’m so worried.”
On November 13 ISIS killed 130 people in Paris France with suicide bombers. The United States should escalate the war against ISIS because attacking, treatment, and war. ISIS is starting to kill people in the world and the united states are not doing nothing about it. The United States should get involved with the ISIS because there are killing, torturing people, and treating people with disrespect the people who live in Syria so it will not keep going on. America should help the others and stop the war that is going in Syria.
The world is plagued with a dark evil known by the name of Terrorists and there malevolent acts of terrorism to many states and countries around the globe. ISIS is an evil plague that has not only consumed the lives of many men, women, and children, but it has also taken the lives of hundreds in a very inappropriately vile and disrespectful way.
