The Islamic State Of Iraq And Syria

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.

Who is ISIS? They are a Sunni terrorist group that originates from the also Sunni terrorist group, al Qaeda, but specifically the Iraq faction, al Qaeda in Iraq. They are specifically a Sunni version of Islam called Salafism, which means Pious forefathers. The forefathers are the prophet himself and the earliest adherents. The individuals who are part of this group look to these forefathers as examples in behavior and everything else. They desire to follow their actions and lifestyles exactly. The original leader of this group was killed and a new leader rose to power, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, who was an experienced fighter. They lost their power in the Sunni Awakening in 2007, and then found a chance to regain power in Syria in 2011. By

“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

(intro)September 11, 2001 is the defining moment in the annals of terrorism. Today, after the large ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terror, US is stronger and better positioned to safeguard and support its interests against the risks of an insecure world. However, he still continues to face new dynamic challenges. I argue that the most pressing national security challenge facing the United States in the next 5-10 years is the violent extremism and terrorism derived from ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) group. MP1.ISIS is posing a persistent threat to our security and terrorist attacks within the US Homeland, but also against US citizens abroad and our Allies raise a grave danger. MP2Moreover, ISIS radical ideology undermines all the democracy values by which we live; the respect for human rights, the freedom of speech and religion. MP3 The two main factors that influenced my interpretation of ISIS challenge are the potential risk that ISIS could attain and use weapons of mass destruction, and MP4 its capability to recruit, radicalize and motivate, especially young people, to terrorist acts. MP5 US should continue to lead the fight with our Allies and partners to dismantle ISIS terrorist organization and its violent extremism ideology.

ISIS has brutally murdered about 33,000 people (civilians and non-civilians) by suicide bombing, executions, when people don’t follow their rules, when America doesn’t pay the ransom, and more. Despite that, America has pushed ISIS back to about 15% of its land. But keep in mind that ISIS is still a very powerful and ruthless terrorist group, because while they will kill people without caring; they all do it for their goals as you’ll find out if you read on. ISIS basically has one goal, which is to be even more powerful and expand their rule. ISIS has been started and affected many things for reasons that we’ll be talking about in this article. For one ISIS is still a very cruel terrorist group because of its background, what they desire, what

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is a militant group whose ultimate goal is to establish an Islamic State to govern and control much of the Islamic Middle East. This goal is not necessarily sinister in its general meaning. However, the means of going about establishing this Islamic State should be the cause of concern to the entire world.

The Islamic state of Iraq and Syria or Isis for short is a radical jihadist group from the middle east. The goal of this group is to convert everyone to an extreme version of Sunni Islam, whether the person wants to or not. Anyone who doesn’t convert

Islamic State of Iran and Syria (ISIS), also known to the US government as the Islamic State of Iran and the Levant (ISIL), or to themselves as the Islamic State is a group, according the CNN.com, that branched off of the widely known terrorist organization al Qaeda in Iraq

What is ISIS: ISIS is a jihadist group that spreads the believe of radical islamic terrorism.

The attacks in Paris are unquestionably horrific, but whether they could be used to legally justify an all-out war on ISIS is far from clear.” The Atlantic, a newspaper said this about the attacks, In the aftermath of attacks like the one in Paris on Friday, which killed 129 and critically wounded nearly as many, two sets of questions tend to arise: How could this happen? And why did it happen? The “how” questions are what preoccupy investigators for the first few days after such an attack, as they race to identify the terrorists and their partners before they can strike again. A terrorist act such as the Paris attacks usually involve many more people than the wrongdoers; as of this writing, seven known terrorists have been killed, but authorities in France and Belgium, where the attacks are believed to have been organized. Officials will also be looking for weaknesses in France’s defenses. How could so many attackers with explosives have penetrated the

The Fox News article “Paris attacks drive home harsh realities of extremism for US police and civilians alike,” addresses the aftermath of potential danger that could ensue because of the attacks in Paris, where a series of shootings and bombings occurred in November of 2015 killing many civilians. The majority of the perpetrators of these attacks were born in France or elsewhere in Europe. The article states matter-of-factly that the attacks abroad assure that danger is imminent for the United States. It also makes a call for civilians to be aware and cognizant of imminent attacks. The blame for the violence is placed on terrorists who are painted exclusively as Muslim extremists. The article plays into the systemic discrimination against Arab people as well and is written in a fashion that places the United States as the focal, most important nation in the world in a problematic, Western world view.

Throughout Islamic communities, we discovered, more than often, that many extreme acts transpire. Radicalized establishments allocate similar thoughts but engage in a variety of acts. Islamic extremists attain ideology and beliefs that differs and disregards collective moral standards.

ISIS has many negative effects all over the world. They are killing innocent people and they are causing political tension between countries. Just recently, in November, ISIS carried out multiple attacks in Paris, France. Molins from CNN news said “In addition to the 129 people killed in Paris, 352 were injured, at least 99 seriously.”(9). These attacks seem to be carried out for no reason, almost at random, leaving people to live in fear constantly thinking “What will their next move be?” The Paris attacks were only one of the many, similar attacks that ISIS has carried out around the world. They have already announced that more attacks are yet to come, and they have attackers, covering the

ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, is also known as ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The Levant refers to a larger region of the Middle East, therefore involving more countries other than Syria. President Obama refers to this malicious, relentless terrorist group as such due to their threat in multiple areas in the Middle East. This truly establishes the multitude of the presence of ISIS in this area. However, ISIS refuses to limit the countries in their path of destruction to simply the Middle East, but has made convincing threats to America, namely the members of our armed forces, (“Beheading Video Sends Brutal Message”) and the American population in general. ISIS pursued their threats to maintain and sustain growth of their caliphate by the killing of two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff. This has certainly caused America to consider the level of seriousness of ISIS and determine the extensiveness of their plans. The United States plays a pivotal role in limiting the power and harm inflicted on its own population, as well as the global population by this terrorist group. An effective course of action must be taken against this group to ensure the safety of our citizens. The United States should primarily seek to utilize their armed forces as opposed to air strikes to successfully eliminate ISIS, and must engage with ISIS in order to ensure its demise for the safety of the global population.
