The Al-Nusra Front: Destroy Western Culture

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

The United States, with its coalition partners, has committed to degrade and destroy the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This group poses a threat to the people of the Middle East, as well as to the United States, our allies, and interests in the region. If this terrorist organization is left uninterrupted, ISIL will grow, threatening the surrounding areas of the Middle East, our allies abroad, and the United States.

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.

In the CNN library of, “ISIS Fast Facts” CNN shares the story of ISIS the group known for killing dozens of people in the public by executions, beheading or brutal acts. Not accepting the loss of their jobs many anger without a job established al Qaeda in Iraq to wage against U.S. A. In the process to establish an Islamic caliphate, or state across the region. In school’s boys and girls are forced to separate, also enforce no justice for women.

America’s invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to many smaller branches of terror groups to form. ISIL grouped as a small organization who pledged their allegiance to Osama Bin Laden’s al Qaeda. In ISIL’s early days it was not a huge organization with swaths of land, it was dedicated in getting U.S.

ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is a terrorist group that is trying to build a caliphate in Syria, as well as evoking war with the United States. ISIS first started as a branch off of Al- Qaeda; until February 2014, when they broke away from Al- Qaeda. According to K.T. McFarland, a national security analyst, ISIS has raped and tortured it’s way through Syria and Iraq, killing those who won’t join their group.. They have managed to recruit thousands of citizens from around the world to join their cause. ISIS is a realistic threat to the U.S. and the world, and the US needs to stop them.

Over 2,000 people have been killed by attacks carried out by ISIS. ISIS or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria are an islamic extremist group located throughout the middle eastern region but have influence world wide. Their attacks have affected countries including the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. Their attacks have been occurring for years but the reached a major tipping point after they killed over 150 people in one night in Pairs. The Syrian region where ISIS mainly resides has been involved in a Civil war since 2011 and has seemingly had no break. The war has also been a large political battle even outside of Syrian powers as Russia and the United States back key players.

Some believe that a long term solution to the ISIS threat can only be solved by trying to implement deep and lasting political changes in Iraq and Syria. Although at this point implementation of such objectives could not happen fast enough to answer the urgencies that surround ISIS's threat, an additional counter attack that could slow down the movement enough until a better solution can be devised. Such military strikes could start to provide moderate relief until ISIS can mount a counterattack. However, the considerable damage that ISIS will veritably endure will be sure to generate resentment and negative scrutiny against the United States. Another risk that the United State faces is the possibility of ISIS expanding so much that they take over control of the Middle East as a entire entity thus posing significant financial and military threats. If the United States does not plan to leave the Middle East completely and for good, they must find a way to quickly tame the beast that is ISIS. But if the United States does plan on keeping positive relations with any aspect of the Middle East they must face ISIS head

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).

It started out as an extension of Al-Qaida but has not morphed into its own organization. In the beginning its members came from fighters who fought against the Asad regime and some form Iraq. Now, it recruits come from the local population as well as from all over the world. These fighters get training from experienced fighter who fought against the Russians and the Americas in Afghanistan and Iraq. These fighters get raining form personal ware are experienced in combat. The Al-Nusra Front has conducted several types of terrorist attacks like suicide bombings and attack on military bases. These attack committed by the terror organization has killed approximately 100 people. The Al-Nusra Front is an organization that may not have the best communication ability but it can get message passed throughout the country of Syria. Also, the ability to communicate through computers is utilized as well. These attacks are conducted with the thought to pass the Al—Nusra Front message across and dispel western influence. Turing Syria into an Islamic State and all of the countries in the area is what the organization would like to achieve. To achieve this goal Al-Nusra Front instills fear by conducting terrorist

Today, one of the biggest issues facing the United States as well as the rest of the world is the Sunni-militant group which goes by the name of “ISIS,” or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It has been the topic for major discussion for the past three years, with many leaders of major countries and nations trying to figure out how to defeat them. ISIS is a powerful force and has been for several years and many countries including the United States are trying to figure out how to stop them.

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.

Most Americans do not know what ISIS is. However, those who do know , know how dangerous these people are becoming. The Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham also known as ISIS, an Al Qaeda affiliation is not only alive but spreading and spreading fast. The group started out in Iraq as the world known Al Qaeda before rebranding themselves. Though both jihadi groups strived to establish an independent Islamic state in the region of Iraq , ISIS believes in a much more brutal regimine. Threating to take over both Iraq and Syria, killing and beheading both their own and American/British foreigners in the name of their faith. The United States should refrain and stop all involvement in fighting ISIS.

In 1945, Syria had a barely functioning civilian government and a military that was always involved in the government’s politics. Syria and Iraq have now made new allies with; Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen. “ISIS’ involvement in the Syrian Civil War has exacerbated the conflict, leaving over 300,000 dead, two-thirds of the Syrian people in need of humanitarian aid, and some 11 million people uprooted (7 million internally displaced and 4 million refugees abroad)” (Forsythe, Monshipouri 1) which is a very big reason why ISIS needs to be stopped. ISIS killed so many innocent people, just because they wanted to bring terror into the whole worlds lives and wonder what is going to happen next, where is it going to happen, and if it is going to happen to one of us. Our U.S. foreign policy has not effective at ending Syria’s crisis, not even a little bit. After Syria’s uprising, the U.S. and United Nations have thought about resolutions to trying to defeat ISIS but, none of those strategies have worked so far. After the attacks in Paris, on November 13th, it was a lot easier for us to make airstrikes against ISIS. It was also a very big part of why Paris decided to take action and also to airstrike as well. There are also major problems that we have to think about when trying to take over ISIS. We have to think about making an effective size ground force big enough to

After gaining operational experience and skills fighting in Syria, jihadist operatives may establish terrorist infrastructures to carry out terrorist attacks in their countries of origin. For al-Nusra this becomes a goal to spread the teachings of Islam to the rest of the world. They may do so on their own initiative or following directions from the Al-Nusra Front and other jihadist organizations. While the threat from the Nusra Front has been overshadowed by the atrocities committed by the other extremist groups like ISIS and ISIL and the rapid gains made by that organization in both Syria and Iraq, we ignore the growing strength of the lower-key al-Nusra Front to our own peril. To combat this now known threat it needs not to be done in the traditional way of airstrikes and kidnapping leaders but by establishing a political solution. To get to this level Syria may have to be divided to give control to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) this however would require time as it is a long process to establish. If The United States abandons Syria to become a failed state the violence will soon have its spillover effect on the region and the entire world. Nusra has become a critical, if not the most critical, component of the armed opposition and is interlinked and co-located with rebels who have received U.S. and allied support. Further, Nusra continues to benefit indirectly from U.S. support for other rebel groups. Consequently as long as al-Nusra stands to oppose a diplomatic solution and remands a current threat to freedom it stands then as a threat to the United States and its allies. This treat influences potential attackers to come to the US and perform a Jihadist movement. The question however for the United States is how do we strategically justify a war on al-Nusra Front’s campaign and still take down the al-Assad
