The Islamic State Of Iraq

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.

The United States, with its coalition partners, has committed to degrade and destroy the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This group poses a threat to the people of the Middle East, as well as to the United States, our allies, and interests in the region. If this terrorist organization is left uninterrupted, ISIL will grow, threatening the surrounding areas of the Middle East, our allies abroad, and the United States.

The Islamic State is a terrorist group that believes in a “…radical interpretation of Islam as political philosophy and seeks to impose that worldview by force on Muslims and non-Muslims alike”. This group was ousted from Al Qaeda because they were being too extreme, and carrying out atrocious acts

Throughout history, the Middle East has encountered many obstacles that are still present today. Terrorism is a huge obstacle that has not yet been overcome. In previous years, the United States saw Al Qaeda as the main face of terrorism. Today, that is not the case. Formally established in 2013, the most prominent terrorist group today is ISIS also known as the Islamic State and the Levant (Pierpaoli). ISIS is a Salafist Muslim organization that has declared a caliphate in Iraq and Syria and imposes a strict interpretation of Islam. According to the U.S. secretary of defense, it is “beyond anything we have seen.” Led by Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, it has been seen as the most potent military force in the nation (Morgenstern). Similar to the group

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS, also known as Islamic State in Iran and the Levant, ISIL, is a terror group formed by the remaining members of al Qadea (AQI) after their down fall. ISIS aims to create a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, and expand globally. Their methods to do so are by any means of spreading terror to innocent people by mass shootings, beheadings, and explosions. ISIS although a political driven terror group, claims to found their practice and ideology from Islam one of the three major world religions among Christianity and Judaism. However, Islamic teachings and beliefs contradict the practice, methodology and ideology of ISIS. In the following paper, I will be discussing the formation of the organization of ISIS, their

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (or the Levant), ISIS, is the most recent terrorist organization to take hold of the Middle East. Controlling large portions of Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State began as an offshoot of al Qaeda in 2004, when it was originally known as al Qaeda in Iraq. While both organizations have radical anti-Western viewpoints, ISIS has taken its beliefs to an extreme form of Sharia law, as it tortures and executes other Muslims who do not have the same radical ideologies.

(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.

Terrorism has shown itself to be a major issue in the past couple of decades. With the birth of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, otherwise known as ISIS, the word saw a new kind of evil. The United States and the rest of the world had never been threatened more with the militant groups rise to power. Thousands of people have been slaughtered at the hands of ISIS and a majority of the World powers have yet to intervene. A majority of the World Powers have a strong enough military force to defeat them, yet have not taken action on ending the evil Jihadist. However, an attack on the Islamic State would not be easy and many negative factors would have to be worked around. As the World Powers continue to put ISIS on hold, the terrorist strength and power continues to grow stronger. If a change isn’t made, and a fight isn’t brought to the Islamic State, hundreds of thousands

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are more commonly known to the public as ISIS, they also referred to ISIS by media corporations as well. ISIS has combined with a few terrorist groups in the past but has also not made friends with other groups. “Finally, in April 2013, the leader of the ISI, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, announced in an audio message that his group merged with Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) in Syria to form the “Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham.””(Price, 2014). It was also noted in the same article that because they merged with another group that it did not sit well with other people and groups. ISIS appears to have a history with groups coming and going into the mix. While it’s not very known what their ideology is, you can very well establish your own perception based off their actions. Just based off incidents I have seen in the past and recently, they are very violent and will attack anyone who isn’t on their side from civilians to military personnel. “ISIL’s goal is to solidify and expand its control of territory and govern by implementing its violent interpretation of sharia law. The group aspires to overthrow governments in the

Today, many people suffer from their doings. The ISIS was established in 1999. The ISIS was founded by Abu Musab al-Zaraqawi. ISIS attacked the Shia Muslims and their establishments first. The group received seed funding from Osama bin laden and swore allegiance to it in 2004 and changed its name to Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).

Islamic state of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) also rendered as Islamic state of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also known as the Arabic phrase Da’esh and self-described as Islamic State was formed in April 2003 but was established in 2006, growing out of al- Qaeda in Iraq. It has since been abjured by al- Qaeda. Isis has a treasury of 2 billion making it the richest terrorist organization also it has become one of the main jihadist groups fighting government forces in Syria and Iraq because of it vast amount of fighters estimated from 7,000-12,000 with 3,000-5,000 being foreign fighters. The leader of ISIS is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Not many people know about but it is believed that he was born north of Baghdad, in 1971 and joined the armed rebellion against the US that erupted in Iraq soon after the 2003 US-led invasion.

Whether one refers to the Terrorist organization as Islamic State(IS), Islamic State of Iraq and Syria(ISIS), Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant(ISIL). Terror is the main goal of this organization and inflicting fear and anquish has been the priority and objective since the birth of this group. Religous believes and political motives drives this group to bring pain and suffering not just to the United States, this pain knows no boundaries and reaches all depths and borders around the entire globe. Departments and Agencies dealing in Homeland Security have dealt with this issue since the inception of ISIS, proper channels have been developed to stopping and aiding in the submission of ISIS. However, stopping a terrorist organization

With divisions becoming prevalent regarding the modus operandi for AQI, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi broke off from the group to form the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). (Hashim 2014) While both the ISI and AQI had similar interests in combating foreign intervention and developing an Islamic caliphate in the region, the two groups sought two different means of achieving it. In Iraq in particular, Daesh was bolstered by a new interim Iraqi government that was particularly repressive towards the Sunni majority, which in turn drove disillusioned Sunnis towards the extremist group. Ultimately, ISI would expand into Syria in 2010 and splinter off from the Al-Qaeda affiliated group Al-Nusra, forming the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Since then it has expanded into parts of Jordan and Libya as well.

The group that calls itself the Islamic State can trace its lineage to the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi aligned his Jama’at al-Tawhid w’al-Jihad with al-Qaeda, making it al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).

A Caliphate is an Islamic State that is led by a caliph, which is a Chief Muslim civil and religious leader. The Islamic state has disrupted international security with the violence, terrorism.
