The Rise Of The Islamic State In Iraq And Syria

The key drivers of uncertainty for ISIS in these scenarios include its ability to management its level fundamentalism and stability within its environment. Muslim conduct Islamic fundamentalism when they live and project on to others the original interpretation of Muhammed teachings. The most radical fundamentalism is Wahhabi or Salafist, supporting the conservative and extreme interpretation of the Quran and Sharia Law. ISIS uses its radical fundamentalist interpretation of Quran and Sharia Law to conduct its killing, caliphate and management its people. Due to its major combat losses, ISIS may want a less aggressive approach of fundamentalism to be more appealing to large portions of the Muslim community. The moderate fundamentalism approach used the both the uses the Quran and Sharia Law as well but used political governance or over more aggressive violence to achieve its strategic objectives. To regain personnel and strengthen its forces, ISIS may want to consider globalism over nationalism to improve stability. Although Globalism promotes international investment along with the spread of ideas and culture to other nations, ISIS may want to engage with Nationalism approach to strength it based in Iraq or Syria. All four scenarios review the importance of both fundamentalism and stability as major driving factors projecting the future of an uncertain

Over the past year or two, newspapers, radio stations, and news broadcasts have been covering the rapid ascent of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. But they have spread far beyond those material boundaries, reaching into the minds and homes of young people across the globe. These young people are led to believe that ISIS is saving the world, not harming it and that they must partake in the fight for religious dictatorship. They are instructed over the internet to perform acts of terrorism in their own country, known as domestic terrorism. Due to the dramatic increase in terrorist activity

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, popularly known as ISIS and Daesh, is the 21st centuries rising global threat to humanity. The world has united to reduce and ultimately prevent genocide. In the paper ISIS will be referenced as Daesh. The initial part of the essay will cover Daesh origins, ideology, goals, and objectives. It is essential to know the similarities of the present Daesh brutalities and historic barbarisms of Wahhabism. The rest of the essay will focus on leadership, funding, and capabilities, such as physical bases support locations. The conclusion will attempt to raise concern of the internal threat within the United States. This essay will be limited to sources not having access to restricted or classified information. The closing goal of this essay is to embolden the serious threat to the United States and other countries seeking pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

The PBS documentary, “The Rise of Isis,” shows a look at how the pulling of troops and a corrupt government led to the rise of the terrorist organization known as Isis. In 2011, the Obama administration pulled U.S. troops from the middle east and Iraq was presented as country ready to govern itself. The Iraqi Prime Minister, Maliki, came to the United States to declare all of this on television. A government official features on the documentary said Obama would regret this. While in the U.S. Maliki received a phone call from Iraq stating that his vice president’s guards were planning an assignation attempt, in response Maliki ordered his arrest. Vice President of Iraq, Hashemi denies all claims of this. However, he does claim that many of his

During the last decade, the Middle East has attracted the attention of the world’s eye for many reasons. Particularly, for the socials, political, and economic changes that have happened in these countries through the years. Consequently, the Middle East has lived a massive wave of military interventions, civil wars, violence, and death. Specifically, in the region of Iraq and Syria, where the people suffer the consequences of all the conflicts and affect the social development of this community. Under these circumstances, many military and terrorist affiliate groups have emerged, such as Al Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the most notorious and bloody one ISIS. Particularly, these groups have some religion's background, and their values are

The rise of radical Islam and it’s creation of it’s many terrorist groups is one of the largest political problems of the 21st century. The solution to this issue does not lie in blindly asserting military force within the Middle East, but rather targeting the root of the hate itself. Though, this does not disqualify military intervention. The target of this paper is to dissect the issues that create tension, with regards to the spectrum of modern terrorism, and to propose a solution to the conflict that rages on everyday. I believe that this is best accomplished through analyzing historical events and ideas that created our current situation. I will look into a few crucial events that I believe lead radical groups to harbor hatred towards

Many theories and explanations explaining the actions and existence of ISIS, and how it might be overcome in order to ensure the safety and security of countries worldwide. Two competing theories – realism and constructivism – give us much to consider about how we understand and react current events and future ones: “How a state manages those opportunities and obligations depends on its definition of the threat, its understanding of the players involved, and its assumptions about capabilities and responses both at home and abroad. In other words, a state must make a decision to balance the hard facts of realism with the potential of a more liberal foreign policy.” (Buros, 2011). Another thing to consider is the rest of the community: “How a state responds to that threat relies on basic assumptions made regarding the threat, capabilities of themselves and their allies, and the willingness of the international community to acquiesce to perceived aggression.” (ibid). Generally put, the proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) flourished with instability and a weak government in Iraq. With previous ties to Al Qaeda, its involvement in fighting against Bashar al-Assad and capture of land in Iraq and Syria, coupled with extreme violent methods and rhetoric gave the region enough to be concerned about. How this occurred can be explained a few ways.

Since their rise in 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has gained significant control of cities and territories within the middle east. This control has expanded to outside of their original region, with affiliate groups like Boko Haram gaining traction in Nigeria and Abu Sayyaf vying for territories in the Philippines (1). Beyond gaining territories the influence of ISIS is global and its efforts to implement its agenda are not limited to guerrilla warfare. Since it’s rise to power many sponsored terrorist attacks have occurred by the group, or for the sake of the group. Therefore, ISIS cannot be called solely terrorist or guerrilla in nature, rather, a mixture of both. This essay will illustrate

The movement of ISIS in the middle east over the last two years has drastically increased. Some of the most recent occurrences of Isis activity are Recently in Bombing in Yemen Mosque, A suicide bomber and a car bombing claimed by the State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, killed at least 20 people at a mosque in Yemen's rebel-held capital. Furthermore on August 28, 2015 ISIS destroys yet another ancient ruin. Another attack was a massive car bomb, injuring nearly 29 people and blowing the walls off buildings. The latest victim of ISIS was one of Syria's top antiquities experts. He was devoted to exploring and preserving the ancient ruins. Recently Rebels Seize Abu al-Duhur Air Base in Idlib From Syrian Forces. Al Qaeda-linked rebels in Syria

In December of 2011, the United States withdrew all remaining combat troops from Iraq. After eight years of war, the United States turned the responsibility for the defense of Iraq over to the Iraqi security forces. Iraq immediately saw the rise of sectarian violence among Sunnis and Shia. This nation also saw the reemergence of the insurgency known as Al Qaeda in Iraq in the northwest portion of the country. The problems in Iraq grew with the igniting of a civil war in the neighboring nation of Syria. This civil war allowed for members of Al-Qaeda in Iraq to spread to and develop in an unstable area and emerging as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, ISIS. Within twelve months, ISIS grew by creating of an organizational structure, engaging in violent military campaigns, developing an economy and establishing successful recruitment techniques. ISIS now controls large swaths of territory in both northwest Iraq and Eastern Syria. Political leadership in the United States is now debating what action should be taken to combat the terror group ISIS. To prevent ISIS from harming our national security, to stop the threat of international terrorism and to stop the destruction of Iraq and its people The United States should send ground troops to Iraq to combat ISIS.

This topic is relevant today because it is happening today. With the rise of the terrorist group, ISIS, we wonder what will happen to the world and if WW3 could happen. So if we learn from our mistakes, we can pass it and try to stop the newest threats today. History will repeat itself if we do not learn from it. We have a group that is ruthlessly slaughtering people, which is like the Nazi’s did to the Jews. So the topic is relevant today because if we do not learn from history, it will repeat itself, so by learning from this terrible time on the world, we can stop the new groups that might do the same thing.

Surely by now you have heard of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This Islamist militant group is causing a major problem for the entire world. This terrorist organization first started off as a branch of Al Qaeda in 2004 but later decided to break away from the organization two years later. Unlike Al Qaeda, ISIS has proven that they are more brutal then Al Qaeda and better at taking over territory. What has the whole world going crazy is the fact that this terrorist organization has been able to capture more than half of Syria oil. ISIS has also captured Mosul, this is the second largest city in Iraq. So far ISIS has been able to stay in the eye of the media and gain attention for their radical methods. One of their most popular

The rise of Isis is a big thing in the world we live in now. Every Country is at the risk of ISIS attacking them. There have been many attacks that ISIS has carried out, for example of what they have done is the 9/11 attack, this was a really sad day for the American people. The ISIS group hijacked 4 air planes and 2 got ramped into the twin towers kill many people, and one of the other planes crashed into the Pentagon and the 4th plane crashed in a field, 2,996 people died on the 11 of September. This was all from ISIS., another attack ISIS did was the Paris shooting, the 3 people who are members of ISIS ran into this ma magazine writer and open fire in this work place and killed 17 people, after they did their thing, they jumped into a car and drove off, the reason they did this was because the magazine writer made fun of their god. Over the many years that ISIS have been around they have done over hundred attacks. The points that I will be touching on is the background, chronology, how have we changed, Groups affected and different perspectives. ISIS is also known as ISIL. ISIL stands for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ISIS operates around the world but most of the time ISIS operates in western Iran and also in eastern Syria. ISIS has a massive stretch of ground in both of those states. This makes it military the most effective is jihadi movement ever. While the specific size is unknown, we believe that ISIS has thousands and hundreds of fighters. ISIS comes from

Foreign fighters have been a staple of the modern wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. An interesting aspect of these foreign fighters in these conflicts is the amount of Westerners taking part in the insurgencies. The latest chapter in the war in Iraq is the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which has become notorious in recent months for its brutality and its military successes. A recent Wall Street Journal article reports that over 28,000 individuals from eighty six countries have come to Iraq and Syria to fight for the Islamic State . Who are these Westerners who forsake a life of relative comfort and freedom for the rigors and danger of jihad? There are certain indicators in behavior of those who join the ranks of foreign fighters. While by no means a profile in any sense, the indicators observed by foreign fighters studied in this paper will provide policy makers and law enforcement with an idea of who could be likely to join foreign fighters abroad. Western foreign fighters are a major security concern for Western governments as they return home . The training and indoctrination they receive abroad makes reintegration into Western society difficult if not impossible. While every individual is different, all foreign fighters have observable behaviors prior to joining Islamic extremist movements. Learning how Westerners become radicalized is crucial to depriving groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS with valuable manpower.

Earthquakes, famines, diseases, and the rise of Islamic terrorism were recorded as our future history a long time ago. This is the time that Jesus referred to as the "beginning of sorrows," (Matthew 24:8 KJV). It is a future history that was spelled out before any of us were ever born. However, it is the frequency of all of the earthquakes, the natural disasters, and the occurrence of worldwide unrest that we must pay attention to, in order to better understand the travail of a changing world, and what that means to us right now, and in very real time. Jesus said, "All these things must come to pass, but it is not the end," Matt 24:6 KJV. The Earth is presently in an effacement stage, and it is ready to enter into a period of
