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.

The Islamic State, also referred as ISIS or ISIL, where its roots can be followed to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, with the financial support of Osama bin Laden and his Islamist terrorist organization, al-Qaeda, Zarqawi in 1999 formed a jihadist group, Jama’at al- Tawhid wal-Jihad (“Islamic State”). Zarqawi ruthlessly attacked civilians and destroyed religious sites in an effort to ignite a war between Sunni and Shi’a Muslims (“Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)”). Zarqawi and his successor, who started a militant group called Islamic state in Iraq (ISI), were killed. After the death of both al-Qaeda leaders, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took control over ISI, he preyed upon the religious divide between Sunnis and Shi’as to stir up mistrust and recruit more fighters to his group (“Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)”). “[Baghdadi] staged a series of suicide bombings and high-profile attacks in Iraq...he also formed another militant group, the al-Nusra Front, to battle the government forces of President Bashar al-Assad”(“Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)”). Towards the end of 2013, ISIS and ISIL began to get involved in the Syrian Civil war, and even though they are against the government, they also continue their policy of violence towards civilians and in many cases considered worse than the tyrannies inflicted by Assad’s regime and his

Both ISIS and the al Qaeda were radical anti-western militant groups that devoted themselves to creating an independent Islamic State in the region. However, ISIS, unlike al Qaeda, is significantly more brutal and effective at seizing and controlling it’s territory, and early in the year 2014, al Qaeda even disowned the Islamic State (Thompson et al.). The Islamic State goes by several names, most famously, and currently, ISIS, which is short for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISI, the Islamic State of Iraq (Tran). The third moniker is ISIL, officially, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Piven). Since its formation in 2004 ISIS has morphed from one title to the next, which is parallel to its rapid evolution in ten years. In June of 2014 ISIS changed its name once again, calling itself the State of the Islamic Caliphate, or SIC (M.R.). The theme among these titles is that they all contain the word “state,” and public officials and many residents of the region who oppose ISIS deny them the dignity of being called a state by calling them “Da’ish,” or as Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General, calls them “Non-Islamic Non-State (M.R.).” While there are various official and dignity denying names for the Islamic State, the media generally continues to call the group Islamic State or ISIS
