The word terror means extreme fear; this is what terrorist groups want to inflict on the human population. A lot of terrorist groups focus their attacks against the United States. American is a prime target because of the freedoms and cultures experienced by its citizens. Also, attacks that affect the United States bring great publicity, which in turn brings new membership and funds to the organization. The Al-Nusra Front group is a terrorist group comprised of former Al-Qaida members. The Al-Nusra Front group and all other terrorist groups want to instill fear inside people on the planet.

Successful nations allow conflict to arise within and outside of the nation. War is the offspring of such political intercourse. The intention to gain power and control serve as enablers for national and international wars. Attaining power and control expand potential competition from a regional to a global level. The United States have involved itself in such terrorists attacks due to the desire to possess such resources, power and control. The Islamic State of Iraq also commonly known as ‘ISIS’, Salafi jihadist militant group that follows an Islamic fundamentalist is the offspring of such desire from the United States and the Western Hemisphere. America’s interest and influence for oil in the middle east gave birth to ISIS. The United States and the Western Hemisphere desire for power and control enable terrorism.

Most Americans do not know what ISIS is. However, those who do know , know how dangerous these people are becoming. The Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham also known as ISIS, an Al Qaeda affiliation is not only alive but spreading and spreading fast. The group started out in Iraq as the world known Al Qaeda before rebranding themselves. Though both jihadi groups strived to establish an independent Islamic state in the region of Iraq , ISIS believes in a much more brutal regimine. Threating to take over both Iraq and Syria, killing and beheading both their own and American/British foreigners in the name of their faith. The United States should refrain and stop all involvement in fighting ISIS.

Recently, much media attention has been given to the radical terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

In Syria, we currently face the challenge of an enemy unlike we have ever seen before. The group ISIS or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has seized control of a large region of the two countries that is approximately equivalent to the size of the neighboring country of Jordan. This is a group much more formidable than any terrorist organization that we have seen before – they are not in fact Al Qaeda’s JV team. Therefore, we cannot fight them or treat them as we did Al Qaeda. Where their predecessors operated in a system comparable to America’s street gangs, ISIS has an organized, top down, leadership system, and operates more or less as a small country attempting to make territorial gains.

“As ISIS has grown, its goals and intentions have become clearer. Al Qaeda conceived of itself as the vanguard of a global insurgency mobilizing Muslim communities against secular rule. ISIS in contrast seeks to control territory and create a ‘pure’ Sunni Islamist state governed by a brutal interpretation of sharia” (Cronin). The quote shows that ISIS is growing, and will keep growing. They are growing in a very negative and brutal way. In doing so the U.S. does not like their ways of handling situations, and they need to be stopped until they can not be stopped anymore.The U.S. has a choice to send troops into stop them or to try a plan that does not involve troops. Although deploying ground troops against ISIS may not be apart of Obama’s plan, U.S. should deploy ground troops against ISIS.

ISIS is a very dangerous terrorist group changing peoples lives all around the world. They kidnap people from different countries and threaten countries for money and weponds. ISIS gets most of there money from theft by robbing banks and selling oil. They get most of there equipment from the U.S. by stealing them. ISIS is not a state but they have there own flag and have claimed land on the Syria and Iraq border. ISIS is one of the biggest terrorist groups in the world because of the Syrian war and the weak government combination. That is why ISIS is the most well-funded terrorist group in the world and why they are so dangerous and

I was known as a useless addition to the CIA. I really never received any major cases.Until the day that I heard of the terrorist group called ISIS. I had from the whispers of fellow coworkers that there was a secret website in the deep web that recruits members to the terrorist group, but no one has reported being able to access the site. I did remember back to my adolescent years that I did have a bit of experience with hacking as well as navigating the deep web. So, I attempted for weeks effortlessly trying to scavenge the deep web for that website, and finally 2 weeks later I had found the the site, it seemed very shady and had a black background with the videos of every event that created by ISIS even the reporter

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.

The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), follows a distinct variety of Islam whose beliefs about the path to the Day of Judgment define its strategy, and can help the West know its enemy and predict its behavior. Its rise to power is less like the triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (a group whose leaders the Islamic State considers apostates) than like the realization of a dystopian alternate reality. The White House has consistently said that it aims to destroy the Islamic State. For more than a year, limited U.S. airstrikes have poked at the terrorist group to little avail. ISIS still controls half of Syria and nearly a third

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?

With the traumatic events that occurred on November 13th, 2015, many politicians and media hosts have responded by attacking the religion of Islam as well as the groups that perpetrated these events. Often referring to the beliefs held by groups—such as the Islamic State and Boko Haram—as a radical and medieval version of Islam, these individuals are not wrong in a sense, but rather they are failing to notice that no ancient religion is peaceful or nonviolent. It is true that the beliefs that are held by members of terrorist groups are archaic, but it isn’t because the culture and system of modern Islam is medieval in itself, but because the terrorists that are perpetrating these are attacks are modern fanatics of the olden days. If one were to look at another major religion’s history, such as Christianity, one would notice that there have been similar moments of religious fanaticism through acts such as the Crusades.

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

In today’s day and age, the United States faces a new evil which has risen from the ashes of “Al-Quada In Iraq.” It has taken the place of other insurgent groups where we deployed military forces in the Middle East and beyond. The atrocities caused by this group may go down in history on the same level of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany during World War II, Khan, Stalin, and the Crusades. As stated above, the so-called “Islamic State” began as Al-Queda in Iraq, evolving into the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Now, they simply call themselves, the Islamic State, or IS. We must understand what this means ideologically. Ideology has been defined by many scholars as “religious extremism.” The statement made by ISIS to the west and the whole world has not been fully understood by all. It not only considers itself to be an Islamic Caliphate (an extremist Islamic government ruled by Sharia law), but THE Caliphate, hoping to encompass the globe. This threat is not to be taken lightly.
