Originally called the “JV squad,” ISIS has proven itself to be adept, strategic, and ruthless to the extent they will go to cause terror. They are particularly known for their horrific and barbaric execution styles, including burning alive, beheading, and dismemberment via explosives.

The Rise Of ISIS Isis (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) is a Muslim jihadi extremist group and self proclaimed caliphate, which is run by Sunni Arabs from Iraq and Syria.

It worthy of noting that the intricacy of the Middle East did not start with ISIS, arguably so, the Middle-East was always a chaotic place.
