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.

Throughout history, barbaristic groups or armies, have threatened the world and specifically the United States. In WW2, you normally think of the brutality of the Nazis. However, the United States main worry was the Japanese military. The US was appalled by the barbarous demeanor of the Japanese. Nearly 71 years later, the US is alarmed at the cruelty of the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Although their motivated by different things, in both ISIS and Japanese codes of conduct, there is no room for mercy, cruelty is their code.

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 considers itself the "Islamic Caliphate" (a theological empire) and controls vast swathes of land in western Iraq and eastern Syria” (Cassis). According to ISIS’s beliefs, they think everyone should practice Sharia Law. “They have institutionalized slavery and rape and have carried

While the United States has taken some action to deal with this pressing issue, it has not been enough thus far. According to the Journal of Strategic Security, specializing in the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, point out that military launches through air strikes have managed to lessen ISIS’s control in Iraq and Syria by de-financing the group through limiting their use access oil. However, this alone has not and will not stop the functioning of ISIS. The Journal of Strategic Security expresses that while the military movement was a good effort, ISIS has plans “to expand its support base and intensify its attacks outside of Iraq and Syria.” Simply putting restrictions on ISIS is not enough, just as attacking from the air is counter productive and causing more damage rather than removing ISIS. Likewise, the Journal of Strategic Security continues to discuss that ISIS has a solid group of foreign fights worldwide that are disposable and able to be controlled easily. This leaves room for continual attacks and replenishment of members. Thus, it is imperative that the United States use ground troops to eradicate

ISIS is a totalitarian movement that existed before the caliphate and can continue to exist without it. The secret to dealing with totalitarian movements is to destroy the movement's inner cadre. Otherwise, the cadre simply recruits more

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

During the year 2014, ISIS was created and ever since their creation they have caused terror like no other group on the planet. They had captured large areas of Iraq and Syria over the period of two years, captured many military grade weapons to increase their power, and recruits more people to join and help their “cause”. Their recruitment numbers have been increasing as well, due to their spreading influence “A 20-year-old Ohio man was arrested Monday on suspicion of trying to join ISIS, the Department of Justice said”(Yan 1). Also with this increase, they have also got their hands on weapons, such as heavy artillery guns/howitzers , mines, mortars, and etc,even using water as a weapon. What this has resulted in, is they can use this to their

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.

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

Remember the events on 9/11/01? What if I told you there was a more powerful group out there besides the 9/11 terrorist, al-Qaeda? ISIS, more powerful than al-Qaeda and a tremendous organization, that is wealthy, powerful, deadly, and poses a threat to lives everyday. ISIS still growing and a bigger threat today than in its’ early years, and people need to inform themselves about ISIS culture, lifestyle, goals, ideas and what they’ve already done. Being important to know, many events and future events can, or will have a grave influence relating to ISIS. ISIS has attacked Americans, French, Innocent civilians, and anybody who won't join them. They don't care about you and depending on how the tables turn you could be the next victim.

The premier strategy for dealing with the ISIS threat is to obliterate their economic foundation. Without the proper funding, ISIS would no longer be able to maintain their current supply of weapons and troops. As ISIS expands and conquers more territory, their economic burden burgeons. Supporting and controlling a population of several million people is no easy task, and if ISIS’s funding was properly destroyed, it could prove to be an important factor in their undoing. Furthermore, although ISIS continually gains more recruits, they must also pay to arm those recruits and keep them loyal to ISIS which in of itself is very expensive. If ISIS’s income was to be slowly weathered away they would likewise begin to flounder. Thus, the best course

In the world there is allot of preoccupations that cross people’s minds, like when to wake Up to that important appointment, or if a person needs to take an umbrella Today because of the wader, or is the money enough to pay that apartment someone has been looking for? All this “problems” are a dream come true for people in need of help and in a life situation that Doesn’t care about gender, skin, or even age: ISIS, is a problem that has every Day became more obvious to the eyes of the readers and viewers of the U.S and the world, a problem that has become a War covered by religious believes that DO NOT! Follow the real perception of the Islamic believers.

When the word terrorism comes to mind various images flash through my mind of gory tragedies playing out on the news. Graphic horrors that grip the world, and promulgate numerous efforts of legislation designed to curb future terroristic catastrophes. Various forms of terrorism exist from mass shootings to bomb threats. This makes terrorism a highly diverse field of every evolving ways for individuals or groups to spread and invoke fear.
