The Influence Of ISIS

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

Unlike other terrorists groups whose main purpose is to enforce terrorism around the world, ISIS’ brutal strategies are how they defend their beliefs and protect their land (Chavez). ISIS has been able to obtain a majority of their land even with U.S. led coalition strikes and ground operations; they control much of the Tigris-Euphrates river basin, northern central Iraq, and northern Syria and seek to control every aspect of their land in each city and town, including essential roads, oil fields, and military facilities (BBC). “In March [of] 2015, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross [estimated there to be] more than 10 million people [living under ISIS control]” (BBC). Inside areas where ISIS imposes its austere rendition of Sharia, another way to say the “framework” of Islam, women wear full veils, public beheadings are a daily routine, and those who refuse this way of life are forced to supply the government with a certain tax, convert, or choose death

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.

“Isis skills are so beneficial to our world today” She is such an influential and powerful women and she so influenced our modern world today. Isis’s name means “throne” and with a name like that you just know that this girl is going to be an awe-inspiring queen. She was often referred as a beautiful woman wearing a sheath headdress; very intimidating look she had. Isis was also the daughter of the earth god Geb.

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.

Sunni communities in Iraq and Syria felt alienated by Shiite- and Alawite-led governments. ISIS played on these feelings, pushing forward a sense of victimhood and giving these communities a means to feel in control through violence. They also advanced a twisted interpretation of Islam that found ripe fodder among disenfranchised youth in the area. ISIS partnered with the lieutenants of Saddam Hussein's secular regime to perfect their tools of repression along the same lines that Saddam used. After the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, the atrophied Iraqi army was over-equipped and underprepared to deal with ISIS. Much of the weaponry ended up in ISIS's hands. Before ISIS formally controlled Mosul, it would run a racketeering business under the nose of the Iraqi government. Businesses and individuals had to pay them a "protection fee" to stay safe. It is the Middle East, so oil is always involved. While technically shut out from the international markets, ISIS could and did still find markets for its oil (usually in neighboring Turkey whose government was sympathetic to many of the Syrian

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant otherwise known as ISIS is a transnational Sunni insurgent group led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This group has been established since 2003 and has it’s origins in the Iraq war which lasted until 2011. In March of 2011 conflict has been raging in Syria. 15 schoolchildren were arrested and repeatedly tortured after writing anti-government graffiti on a wall.*Similar to the Holocaust* This eventually led to a civil war between the government and rebel groups, which wanted the president to step down. After 4 peaceful protesters were killed after the government army opened fire. Afterwards, during the funeral of the protestors the government opened fire and killed one other person. This eventually led to a

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has recently attacked. How and Why? These are all questions that the public still wants to know. ISIS is a jihadist terror group that was established after the fall of Al Qaeda and the death of their leader Osama Bin Ladin. The reason why ISIS' foundation is still spreading is because their followers want "revenge" on those who have tarnished the Islamic religion. ISIS' end goal is to separate the Western and Eastern parts of the world, and even though we pride ourselves on the belief that we are all equal many people want this to happen. And ISIS takes those people to help them achieve this goal.

ISIS is identified as a Salafi extremist group, which refers to a very conservative outlook on the Islamic religion. With these abhorrent views of non-Muslims, many of the members have resorted to domestic violence, including suicide bombings and other forms of provoking fear in the innocent. Countries such as Iraq and Syria have made multiple attempts to combat ISIS, but they are currently deemed too powerful to be seized from power. A number of factors contribute to the horrific actions that are executed by the Islamic State, such as the disarmament of Saddam Hussein’s military back in the early 2000’s. Once the former Iraqi soldiers realized that they could not fight for their country, they transitioned into ISIS fighters and began to advocate for a much different cause- one that would affect millions of lives all over the

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.

A group within these that tends to be causing most of the activity between the media and popular culture is ISIS. ISIS is a group of Muslims who have developed radical beliefs as well as a hatred for the United States since their invasion in Afghanistan in 2003. Since this time, the radical terrorists have been able to spread larger and larger by focusing their emphasis on the ideology of eradicating the Sunni religion from Iraq and Syria. This idea is popular due to Iraq’s Shia majority (Laub, 2016). Expanding also may have been assisted by a 73% increase in Muslims from 2010 to 2050. This is by far the most rapidly growing religion in the entire world (Lipka, 2016). ISIS is also able to use the region's resources to its advantage as oil is the source of it’s primary income. A more deviant form of income for the Islamic terrorist groups is ransom payments. They obtain this by kidnapping important individuals, such as journalists, and demand a payment by threatening that individual's life. In 2014, ISIS made twenty million United States dollars off of these ransoms. It is no shock that Islamic terrorist groups, such as ISIS, affect not only those in Iraq and Syria. Nearing countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen to have sworn allegiance to Baghdadi. Unfortunately the threat of radical

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

ISIS has been all the rise for almost a year now and ISIS has been rather shocking about how they have telling the world their message. ISIS gives the message that they are the biggest terrorist group in the world. ISIS has been beheading and murdering innocent people. They have been taking people that are foreign hostage, they have been torturing them and then beheading them while they are alive. In the places that ISIS has taken control of they are destroying their history by destroying ancient temples and selling artifacts on the black market. There are many ways that ISIS is earning money and their support.

On the night of November 13, Paris was attacked by a terrorist group called ISIS and that killed at least 129 people and injured more than 350. They were total of 6 attacks happened on that night. Gunmen with weapons stride angrily enters the court hall, firing into the crowd, taking hostages, and killing them one by one. Also they were suicide bombers and gunmen with guns start shooting at the local restaurants and café. My first interesting thing I learned from my article is that terrorists group ISIS claimed the responsibility for Paris attack and downing the Russian plane. “ISIS is the radical Sunni Muslim group that has taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq and imposed strict Islamic Law and they immediately claimed responsibility for Paris attack and downing the plane of Russian passenger plane over Egypt, which killed 224 people aboard.” (12, 13) I chose this passage because ISIS is behind the Paris attacks and downing the plane, they wanted to conquer territory by killing people. And I did more research about the ISIS; their strength is about 52600-257900 in total. My second interesting fact I chose is that France and USA quickly attacked Syria and Iraq to fight against them. “But the response quickly went beyond grief and words. French warplanes bombed the Syrian city of Raqqa, where ISIS is based and USA stepped up its own attacks, striking a convey of ISIS trucks in Syria that were carrying oil.” (13) I chose this passage because countries around the world fighting against the terrorist groups and trying to stop them before they attack any other country and kill people.
