The Islamic State Of Iraq And Syria

Their have been terrorists and terrorist organizations before, but, ISIS has been the most focused of terror groups in a long time. ISIS is one of the most dangerous terror organizations in the world, founded in the islamic state of Iraq. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi founded ISIS in 1999. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was a soldier in another terrorist group named Al Qaeda. In 2004 al-Zarqawi established al Qaeda in Iraq. Al Qaeda had a lot or armies focus on them for a while, but ever since, ISIS came in wreaking havoc, blowing up public and religious sites, decapitating victims, crucifying people and doing public executions. All the attention was taken off of Al Qaeda for a while. He was soon killed in an airstrike attack in 2006. The current leader of ISIS, Al

The beginnings of ISIS,a Sunni jihadist group,can be traced back to 1999, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian jihadist, started the group . In 2010, after ISIS’s second leader was assassinated, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,a former scholar of Islamic studies and a US war prisoner back in 2004,took over and got the group back on track. He replenished their partially-killed-off leadership with dozens of Saddam’s old Ba’athist military personnel, who brought key experience to the group. Then in 2011, when the Syrian Civil War broke out, ISIS joined in as a rebel force,which helped to train and battle-harden the group. ISIS’s behavior in Syria was so brutal and severe that they even started creeping out the other groups, including al-Qaeda, who finally had a tantrum in early 2014 and cut all ties with ISIS. The ISIS, like all terrorist organizations, arose out of systems of discontent that made extremist ideology appealing. The extremist ideology of ISIS is an aberration of Islam marked by radical apocalyptic thought. The ISIS’s position is antithetical to Shia Islam, which believes that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet (the caliphate).

The issue between ISIS and their allies as well as the United States and their allies is a tough issue to master. Obviously, people want to see the most minimal amount of casualties as possible. On the other hand, the United States and their allies want to see this group of extremist stopped from their dangerous measures. Because of this feel of urgency when it comes to destroying these extremists, some think the fastest way is to send in an army, but yet they do not want casualties. The other issue that the United States has to face when dealing with this issue, is vengeance. ISIS and their allies have vowed to bring America and their allies to their knees, this is not something that American can take lightly. These groups have proven

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

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 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

The airstrikes and bombing campaigns have prevented ISIS from capturing Baghdad, along with many other cities in the region. These airstrikes have also destroyed a great amount of the Islamic State’s resources, as well as some of its powerful leaders. The Islamic State does not rely on a country or outside source for funding, as it has large oil reserves that it sells on the black market to earn millions of dollars a day. This is one of the main differences between ISIS and al Qaeda, and has allowed ISIS to focus on a long-term plan to create a caliphate in the area. While ISIS has used the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, as well as the beheadings of American and other foreign prisoners, to strike fear into the rest of the world, attacking them with American troops and other extreme measures could be playing right into their hands. While defeating ISIS as quickly as possible is always the goal, it might take longer than expected to destroy the Islamic State, thus the United States should stay the course and continue to use airstrikes and local forces to attack ISIS, while developing a long-term plan to defeat the Islamic State once and for

ISIS owes its rise and survival in great part to, as you can see in the above video, the political disintegration of Syria and Iraq. Sunni Arabs in both countries, disillusioned and long abused, tolerated ISIS just long enough for it to move in and seize territory. The Syrian military is too focused on fighting rebels to focus on ISIS, which Assad tolerates in any case. The Iraqi military is too hollowed out by the state's 2003 collapse and the Iraqi government's growing corruption to do much

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

ISIS is a terrorist organization in Syria. They started from one of the most brutal branches of al-Qaeda. You used to hear ISIS in the news every once in awhile but now you start to hear them every day. ISIS started from a dangerous and brutal branch of al-Qaeda (Ferran). Al-Qaeda has many specific, strong, religious beliefs. People outside of the group find it near impossible to understand what they have done.

All across the world, there have been multiple terrorist attacks caused by ISIS. ISIS has caused attacks in Paris, Beirut, Baghdad, and multiple other locations. In Paris, ISIS killed 129 people in their attack (Eaton, “What Is ISIS?”). They have killed 46 people in Beirut. In Baghdad, they have also killed 18 people. They have also been the source behind the airline that went down in Egypt that killed 224 people. ISIS has been on a deadly and violent track, and it has only progressed with time.

The rise of Isis is a big thing in the world we live in now. Every Country is at the risk of ISIS attacking them. There have been many attacks that ISIS has carried out, for example of what they have done is the 9/11 attack, this was a really sad day for the American people. The ISIS group hijacked 4 air planes and 2 got ramped into the twin towers kill many people, and one of the other planes crashed into the Pentagon and the 4th plane crashed in a field, 2,996 people died on the 11 of September. This was all from ISIS., another attack ISIS did was the Paris shooting, the 3 people who are members of ISIS ran into this ma magazine writer and open fire in this work place and killed 17 people, after they did their thing, they jumped into a car and drove off, the reason they did this was because the magazine writer made fun of their god. Over the many years that ISIS have been around they have done over hundred attacks. The points that I will be touching on is the background, chronology, how have we changed, Groups affected and different perspectives. ISIS is also known as ISIL. ISIL stands for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ISIS operates around the world but most of the time ISIS operates in western Iran and also in eastern Syria. ISIS has a massive stretch of ground in both of those states. This makes it military the most effective is jihadi movement ever. While the specific size is unknown, we believe that ISIS has thousands and hundreds of fighters. ISIS comes from

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?

Terrorism, what is it and is this a new phenomenon? No, terrorism is not a new 21st century issue. Terrorism actually dates back to biblical times and has haunted nations and their citizens much like it has here in the United States of America. The history of terrorism is as old as humans ' willingness to use violence to affect politics. The Sicarii were a first century Jewish group who murdered enemies and collaborators in their campaign to oust their Roman rulers from Judea. The 21st Century is being riddled with terrorist attack after terrorist attack. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has proven to be a very successful foreign terrorist organization that has wreaked havoc across the

ISIS is a terrorist group that has just recently become well known in the past couple of years. They have become a very large problem in today’s world. Innocent civilians are being killed for almost no reason. ISIS swiftly became a large terrorist group. They were founded in 1999, and have done many terrible acts since then. ISIS was originally an al-Qaida group in Iraq and was known as the ISI (Islamic State of Iraq). It later expanded to Syria in April of 2013 and then received the name of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), with another name for the group being the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ISIS was removed from the al-Qaida group because they were too extreme for them. “The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) is so hardline that it was disavowed by al-Qaida 's leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri.”
