The Islamic State Of Iraq And Al Sham

Islamic States of Iraq and Sham ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, al Qaeda in Iraq, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Islamic State, Da’ish is an active group formed c. 2014. ISIS is a terrorist group that sole purpose is pushing their beliefs on others and if their religion isn’t accepted in the appropriate way (how they expected) they then result to violence. Da’ish is the official name of the terrorist group known as ISIS, dramatically arrived and shocked many people in the West. The horrifying and violent events that have occurred since the appearance if ISIS struck fear into the hearts of people all across the world. Even though fear is an extreme emotion, the hatred that came with it is even stronger and is more Ernest.

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.

ISIS is a group that seemingly came out of nowhere, but now it’s a name known all around the world. We hear about them all the time; on the news, radio stations, and even in everyday conversations. However, many people still don’t know too much about the jihadist group and, more specifically, where it came from. The rise of ISIS is a long story that dates back decades before the group even existed. It started out as a radical, Islamic terrorist group by the name of al-Qaeda in Iraq which was created by a criminal known as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. However, al-Qaeda in Iraq soon grew more powerful over the years, eventually becoming the Islamic State of Iraq. This group, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, would soon become the atrocity

successful to stay in the news as they have displayed an ever increasing frequency of attacks and violence for the purpose of spreading their ideology. This group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) (and an extension – Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – ISIL), is a militant terrorist organization perpetrating violence onto Muslims and non-Muslims alike in order to secure the strict Sharia law through a Sunni Caliphate, not by winning over their hearts and minds, but rather by inducing through a state of fear (BBC). Although much of the Middle East region is heavily populated by Muslims, ISIS’s violent means of establishing a state of Islam

Conflicts in the Middle East have created tension in the Islamic religion. In American popular culture today, terrorism and Islam have become equivalent since the September eleven attacks. Everyone became angry and astonished when this act of terrorism was perpetrated in the name of Islam. There was a wave of confused resentment toward the Muslim community. In Unholy War: Terror in the Name of Islam, John L. Esposito, investigates the political, religious, and social elements that have led to the current state of Islam. He clarifies on the significance of Jihad and its role in the Islamic belief. Jihad is an important concept in Islam and it means to be a believer and follower of Gods will. Esposito declares that Jihad has been manipulated by “resistance, liberation, and terrorist movements to legitimate their cause and motivate their followers”(Esposito

The Islamic State, otherwise called the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), takes after an unmistakable assortment of Islam whose convictions about the way to the Day of Judgment matter to its system, and can help the West know its adversary and foresee its conduct. Its ascent to power is less like the triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (a gathering whose pioneers the Islamic State considers faithless people) than like the acknowledgment of a tragic substitute reality.

A self-proclaimed Islamic state that claims caliphate (a form of Islamic government) , and ‘controls’ over ten million people in Iraq and Syria and other parts of Middle East, or an organisation labelled as an extremist militant group being held responsible for ethnic killings and human rights abuses. It is indeed, nowadays, a debatable topic. But what’s really arguable is ‘How is ISIS defining Islam?’, ‘How legitimate their claims are?’ and moreover, “How Islamic is the ISIS actually?’.

ISIS is a Jihadist militant group operating in Iraq and Syria whose plan is to restore the Islamic state in the region encompassing Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Palestine, and southeastern Turkey. It considers itself at war with anyone who does not meet its standards as "true" Muslims. ISIS is a highly fanatical group who seeks to kill all “who oppose their violent religious ideology. Their goal is to inflict the maximum amount of casualties while spreading immense fear and terror. To achieve this level of fear ISIS frequently uses suicide bombers, or vehicles packed with explosives.” (Cockburn, "Who are Isis? The rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant") Many of these attacks target Shia mosques, religious shrines, and neighborhoods

ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is an extremist group that branched from the Sunni terrorist group, al Qaeda, specifically the Iraq faction. Although ISIS has primarily focused on initiatives in the Middle Eastern region, the recent killing of American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotlof following U.S. airstrikes targeting ISIS, has caused controversy as to whether ISIS is a threat to the United States. The first invasion of Iraq by the United States in 2003 gradually led to the conflict known as the Iraq War. After decades spent fighting, US troops are still on the ground in the Middle East today. Over the past few years, ISIS has emerged as a major player in the region, and has been brutally attacking its own country and people over the past year, attempting to take control of the entire states of Iraq and Syria. The growing influence of ISIS and their use of extreme violence has led to debate over whether the United States should send troops to help combat ISIS. In this report, we will determine if it is economically savvy or detrimental to send troops, if it is ethical to invade combat ISIS on the ground, and if it is politically prudent to do so.

Many years ago ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) didn’t exist while the U.S was stationed in the country but that has drastically changed. Now ISIS is one of if not the most dominate transnational terrorist organizations in the Middle East coupled with sophisticated command, control, and logistical capabilities. But how did this come to be?

On November 13, 2015, a radical terrorist organization carried out consecutive attacks in the city of Paris, France. This radical group is formally known as ISIS, the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria. When a horrible act of violence like the one in Paris occurs… we ask, how can a human being carry out such senseless violence? Perhaps the question we should ask is: how could we not have known? The unfortunate truth is, we did. Join me as we take a short walk through the story of the radical Islamist group we call ISIS from its inception to its rise to power.

Just like any other religion it has goals and objectives. For example christianities goals are to get to heaven. How you do that is you must have a clean soul before you die. Just like catholicism Muslim has a variety of views about how to do things. ISIS’ goals are for everyone to become 100% muslim. The United States is uncertain on its position.The will that ISIS has is even more dangerous than anyone the world has seen.

ISIS is an organization that consists of misleading and inaccurate understandings of Islams historical civilization. “To the extent that what ISIS leaders are doing is repudiated by just about every reputable Islamic organization and scholar and the vast majority of Muslims everywhere, it is irresponsible to say what they are doing is very Islamic. All religions have individuals who do things that others in the same religion find morally wrong or reprehensible or even heretical. ISIS is no exception.” (Lawrence). ISIS is more so a spiritual fundamentalist group in which represents how existence was when Mohammad lived.

ISIS continues to dominate the news and internet. With each news report of beheadings, executions, and crucifixion, people want to understand what is ISIS and where did they come from. The acronym ISIS, in English, stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, but in Arabic it stands for  The Islamic State in Iraq and Ash-Sham.  It is also  known as ISIL, because sometimes "Syria" is replaced with the term "the Levant". ISIS is a radical Sunni Muslim organization whose aim is to restore an Islamic State, or caliphate, in the region encompassing Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, the Palestinian territories and southeastern Turkey.

Over the past few years the world has witnessed the rapid emergence of one of the most dangerous and violent terrorist organizations in history. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, better known as ISIL or ISIS and formerly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq, is an Islamic extremist group that has caught the attention of the world because of the swift and ferocious way that the group has been able to seize large portions of Iraq and Syria. ISIS has displayed such brutality in its attacks, with mass executions, beheadings, and crucifixions becoming the norm, that even Osama bin Laden, the now deceased founder of the infamous militant Islamic organization, al-Qaeda, eventually chose to dissociate from them (Saletan, 2014). Although the Middle East is no stranger to religious extremism and political unrest, the ferocity and speed at which ISIS was able to gain control is unprecedented. As the atrocities of the group’s rampage through Iraq and Syria came to light, the world was left scratching its head wondering how ISIS was so quickly able to gain power and control over such a large territory. The answer lies in a look back at the poor decisions made by the Bush Administration after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It was the desire of the United States to withdraw from Iraq too quickly, their appointment of inept leadership, and a series of careless decisions that allowed ISIS to take advantage of an unstable government left behind by the United States after the Iraq War.
