The Pros And Cons Of ISIS

"We're looking for opportunities to do more, and there will be boots on the ground, and I want to be clear about that", Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said about defeating ISIS, or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Because my partners and I agree with Secretary of Defense Carter, we stand in support of the resolution, Resolved: The US should declare war on ISIS.

The author’s perspective of “Losing in battle, ISIS gains by attacking the gray zone’ of the west”, Kari Vick, has also used various opinions and facts that he has exposed to the reader as he explains what the “gray zone” is to the readers. The author was very thorough with information as he explained the situation and other events that have occurred with ISIS such as proving how ISIS sees the world in black and white and how they abhor the middle-ground where day life lives. Kari also explained the life of a French journalist when he was a hostage for ten whole years, wrote also when Germany opened its own doors to the Syrian refugees, the jihadist was flummoxed with their response recorded on a videotape.

All around the world, many are whispering questions about this new terrorist group ISIS. Are they truly a danger to the United States or any other country or are they only dangerous to the Middle East? Can they be easily defeated or have they gotten too far out of hand to be stopped? Critical thinkers, however, are formulating their opinions on the situation. The naïve disbelieve that this notorious terrorist group poses any real threat to humanity and that all are safe from their reaches and brutality. While others believe they are very dangerous and maybe too strong to completely handle or stop. These analyzers are wise to be skeptical about the IS’s abilities because once one underestimates the strength of its opponent

ISIS, which stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is an Islamic rebel group which currently controls territory in Iraq and Syria, and also parts of Libya and Northwest Africa. The group themselves strive for the creation of an Islamic State in which full power would be restored to them. However, much of their activity around the Middle East revolves around violence, such as bombings, and more prominently, beheadings of missionaries across the world. Their

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, better known as ISIS, is a terrorist group with the intentions to generate fear among people by committing acts of terror. Their short term goals are to inflict fear into the eyes of the world, along with attracting Muslims from various countries for its self-proclaimed cause (Wood). Their long term intentions are to overthrow the all other governments and establish an Islamic culture based only on Sharia law (Wood).

“It's not frightening to me," he told Williams. "If I have one bullet left, I'll take my own life before that happens. I'm not gonna get put on YouTube by ISIS, and let them put me on my knees and cut my head off for publicity."(Jeremy).We as Americans have seen innumerable things that are disturbing and incomprehensible but what we are seeing coming from ISIS is far from cruel. They have taken a woman hostage made them wives and even killed children who denied to convert to Muslim, they have assassinated husbands, brothers and fathers all in front of their families with no remorse. ISIS posted these videos so Americans could fear for their lives or join ISIS in their attacks. Although Americans are helping to fight against ISIS we also have

What group would most of those living in the United States identify as the largest international threat? Many people would very likely immediately think of an organization that is heard throughout informative broadcastings quite often in the American society. An example of a group that the average American citizen would think to could often be what is commonly known as ISIS, or the “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.” When an American individual hears this name, a thought of insecurity might surface as he or she might recall all the terrible things that many people have seen on the media that describes this group. There are many international threats in the Middle East that the American people do not know much about, however education could be the ultimate method to defeating these groups or organizations that exist.

I believe that America should cautiously “put the boots on the ground”, in regards to the ISIS problem. If we wait too long we could have a major death toll, but if we rush in to fast even more could go wrong. To this moment America has bombed ISIS and has sent in small task forces, those task forces have been successful but they have made a small impact. America needs to do something bigger if we want to stop ISIS, whether that be “putting boots on the ground” or bombing them more.

All around the world, many are whispering questions about this new terrorist group ISIS. Are they truly a danger to the United States or any other country or are they only dangerous to the Middle East? Can they be easily defeated or is ISIS so powerful that they are unstoppable? Critical thinkers, however, are formulating their opinions on the situation. The naïve disbelieve that this notorious terrorist group poses any real threat to humanity and that all are safe from their reaches and brutality. While others believe they are very dangerous and maybe too strong to completely handle or stop. The cautioned are wise to analyze IS's abilities skeptically because once one underestimates the strength of its opponent they have already lost the war.

In 2015, there were many terrorist events happened in America, French, and Libya, and most of the mastermind of terrorist incidents are ISIS. According to “What is 'Islamic State'?” (2015), ISIS is a terrorist organization, and it activities in Syria. ISIS declared to the world that it was an Islamic State in 2014, and ISIS did a lot of cruel things for example, mass killings, abductions and beheadings. Most people think ISIS is an inhuman and evil organization, except people who work for ISIS. ISIS was built in 2004 after America invaded Iraq, and people owed allegiance to Osama bin Laden. ISIS is composed by two anti-government organizations in Syria and terrorist organization in Iraq. ISIS started to fight in Iraq and Syria after Baghdadi

ISIS has created much havoc through many countries throughout the world. ISIS’s emergence has triggered in the Arab-Muslim world and “searching and destroying” ISIS in its strongholds in Syria and Iraq. ISIS is triggering overdue soul-searching in Middle Eastern countries. The Arab world today is more violent, unstable, fragmented and driven by extremism. ISIS is a killing machine, and it will take another killing machine to destroy it. ISIS is very anti-pluralistic, or against letting citizens have word in decisions.
