The Global Community And Defeating Isis

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as Isis, terror group has been an important issue in the United States for the past couple of years. After the recall of troops from Iraq, radical Islamist movements started to begin and Isis was formed. The first issue of Isis is they have grown in numbers over the years. Secondly, Isis controls thousands of square miles of ungoverned territory. Their high supply of troops and land allows them to creatively think of major attacks, including attacks on the U.S. Lastly, when people see the attacks from Isis, some people naturally gravitate towards these groups. Two months after 9/11 attacks Osama Bin Laden said “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature, they will like the strong horse.” Isis will continue to grow in power if countries do not come together to help totally eliminate them.

Although the Nazi regime did not have computers, the social influence of propaganda was still successful. Propaganda is used as a tool to manipulate and provoke behaviors to further the intentions of the group. When people already have pre-existing beliefs, they are enhanced by propaganda, which makes it a useful, but dangerous tool when the intentions of the group are to harm those who have different beliefs. Similar to the Nazis, the intentions of ISIS is to protect the land and, according to the Quran, only Muslims may live in the caliphate while obeying and promoting their government efforts. Many online ISIS supporters will never actually come into contact with ISIS soldiers, but the power of their social media support system is still strong enough to worry the U.S. government that they may have gained followers who reside on American soil and are a significant threat to national

While the United States has taken some action to deal with this pressing issue, it has not been enough thus far. According to the Journal of Strategic Security, specializing in the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, point out that military launches through air strikes have managed to lessen ISIS’s control in Iraq and Syria by de-financing the group through limiting their use access oil. However, this alone has not and will not stop the functioning of ISIS. The Journal of Strategic Security expresses that while the military movement was a good effort, ISIS has plans “to expand its support base and intensify its attacks outside of Iraq and Syria.” Simply putting restrictions on ISIS is not enough, just as attacking from the air is counter productive and causing more damage rather than removing ISIS. Likewise, the Journal of Strategic Security continues to discuss that ISIS has a solid group of foreign fights worldwide that are disposable and able to be controlled easily. This leaves room for continual attacks and replenishment of members. Thus, it is imperative that the United States use ground troops to eradicate

ISIS is not only using the “peer to peer” method to gain members, they are using social media. ISIS is taking advantage of the easy access they have to the internet and many people around the world have to the internet. They are especially attracting a younger generation. The relentless recruitment of men and women, with an emphasis on women, from all over the world is because they plan to build their own nation (Vultaggio). ISIS has posted videos online, and that is where many of the recruitment occurs. They have posted numerous videos showing killings of Western journalists. In one video a boy, about eleven years old is the one shooting the gun. They are also using the foreign recruits to call out to others to join. For example, last year

ISIS has had made many effects happen the in present world. One of them is recruiting people from outside nations using social media to come and join. Presidential candidate Donald Trump once said, “ISIS is recruiting through the internet. ISIS is using the internet better than we are using the internet, and it was our idea.” This quote from Trump is

Now the coalition has its message. Once implemented, this message coupled with a focused social media campaign will be an effective counter to ISIS propaganda. The first step is to use various media networks to promote this message to populations around the globe. Then build communities where recruits can study the new message. The goal is to make this message an accepted explanation of their existence. The calculation is, as consensus for the new message grows, the combatants will question their reasons for fighting and redirect their energy toward more peaceful endeavors and study the new message.

ISIS is a serious threat that most of the world knows about, although not a lot know about their origin or who and how they started. ISIS is a direct result of the 9/11 counter attack that was authorized by Bush in 2007. The push against Al Qaeda forces was all in all successful the majority of Al Qaeda Groups were destroyed. During the Arab springs a lot of rebel group's ranks were filled with Former Al Qaeda members. What was left of Al Qaeda leaders saw this and took advantage, they created a splinter cell called Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). AQI was lead by a man named Zaqueri who led AQI. The splinter cell did not last very long and once again fell apart. From the ashes of AQI formed a new organization of jihadist was formed this was called Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). ISI fought as a militia group to break free from a tyrannical ruler, but fights against other rebel groups and their fight has changed from rebels fighting for their rights to a jihadist group that is fighting a holy war. They have taken land up through Syria changing the name of this horrific war cult of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). There are a few things that need to happen

In this day and age, the internet has allowed ISIS to become one of the most backed extremist groups to exist. As put by Professor Alfred Hermida, ISIS “targets messages designed to spread terror among western audiences while recruiting followers with tweets aimed at an ideological Muslim world.” The San Bernardino shootings were an exemplary case of this; in which gunwoman Tashfeen Malik has subsequently been found to have written posts agreeing with vicious jihadism and pledged loyalty to ISIS after accessing online information about them, despite living in the USA and never showing any indication of her radicalisation in person. This demonstrates a different difficulty to tackle: instead of accusing refugees of transporting terrorism to the West, it is time to stop the spread of jihadism on the new, virtual world: the

The types of threats aimed at the nation are changing as well. Terrorist groups such as IS (also know as ISIS or ISIL) are still interested in Western recruits because it is easier for them to travel between countries and they are knowledgeable of western cultures and language. Individuals do not always come from foreign countries, and are sometimes American or European citizens. The recruits’ lineage can come from the country in which the terrorist reside or the recruit may be impressed or drawn to the ideals and beliefs of another country.

With the Middle East in its constant turmoil the region has to deal with economic, social, a threats from ISIS. The population in the region is growing exponentially and the youth population is at an all-time high and the region has to handle this. Issues confront the youth in the Middle East every day. Youth anywhere in the world are extremely vulnerable to any ideals they face; this is the time in someone’s life where they figure out what they believe in and what they want in the place they live. With ISIS being a main issue within the country this group pressures the youth and it is a problem that they face. These issues range from threats involving ISIS, economic issues, religious issues, political problems, and outside news findings.

ISIS recruitment is almost entirely online based which makes recruitment easy to facilitate. Not only are there very few restrictions for having online social media accounts, it is also very easy to be anonymous online and keep both a recruiter's and a recruit's identity a secret. Once again, this is because of a lack of internet content filtering. As if online terrorist recruitment was not bad enough, there are actually videos and websites online that provide instructions and demonstrations on how to make

Countering the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been a major struggle for all forces that oppose them for many reasons. There is an instability of the Syrian and Iraqi governments which has made local attempts to counter ISIS difficult, ISIS is self-sufficient with their funding capabilities (through extortion and oil sales, primarily), the social acceptance of ISIS in some areas make it difficult to appeal to locals to fight back, and ISIS has had the ability to conduct psychological warfare against societies, with an end result of acceptance or death. These key factors show just how complicated countering ISIS is; “There is no military solution [to Islamic State [IS)], only possibly some short-term tactical gains that might give

ISIS is currently a substantial threat to the Iraqi people as well as globally. The Iraqi politician and Human Rights Minister of Iraq Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani states that "ISIS is not just an Iraqi phenomenon, but it is a transnational phenomenon that poses an imminent danger to all countries of the world, it defies all human rights principles and international law," (Moore, "Isis Declared 'Global Threat' as UN Mulls Emergency 'War Crimes' Investigation") The reason why this is now becoming an international threat is because ISIS has been able to grow quickly due to the fact that they are able to effortlessly obtain fighters from across the globe. ISIS was able to accomplish this through the use of social media by acquiring popularity within

The true name is I.S.L.S. They us the name ISIS for news cast just to shorten it up and make it sound better. But other than that you cannot deny that almost every time you turn the news on your TV you here about the ongoing crisis going with ISIS. Whether they are executing somebody or that they infiltrating a U.S. base of operations, they are always causing conflict around the WORLD. I always feel that it’s the U.S. doing all the work and not any other countries. I believe that we should be in a correlation force against ISIS and strike them down and stamp them out for

This is mostly because the mechanism that Iraq, Turkey, and the allies apply against the ISIS troops. This might be not the best key answer to this issue. Is there no any other ways to solve this issue? Of course, there is other solution instead of bombing. The problem is they even break the war laws and they kill all of the troops that they arrest in the battles, and there is no exchange between the prisoners. Consequently, the governments should ban anything that can be used to motivate people to join the ISIS including social media any other types of communications. In addition, a good education that tell our children that the verge the ISIS is following is not the right track that Islam asks the people to follow. Here, the role of the Islamic leader’s scholars who are called ‘khatib’ is the most effective because people think that they are the ones who people should follow according to the Islam religion. We have to close all the doors against the ISIS in order to make them to surrender.
