Two Competing Theories Of Realism And Constructivism

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

One of the greatest hybrid threats to global stability today is the rise of the Islamic State. ISIS has been using hybrid techniques for a number of years. Current insurgent activity taking place in Iraq and Syria has been well documented. ISIS has shown time and again that they are a well-organized military-like group with its structured rank and coordinated offensive tactics. In addition to insurgent actions, ISIS has taken to terrorism in many countries around the world in order to promote its objectives. Recently it has been discovered that ISIS has also teamed with criminal organizations in both Europe, Asia, and North America. Additionally, ISIS has waged an information war against its enemies by spreading its propaganda through news outlets

Every day, as I turn on the news, I sigh in despair. The world is a total mess; innocent civilians being bombed, slavery, and poverty still evident in many countries. Why the world is so corrupt- in 2014, is beyond me. I try to avoid headlines about the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) but the ever-growing presence of their existence has amplified so much that it cannot be ignored. ISIS is a militant terrorist group that has struck fear into the hearts of many Iraqi’s. Through the use of violence, mass rape, and propaganda, ISIS has conquered much of Iraq and Syria. The objectives of ISIS are to establish an Islamic caliphate in the Middle East. I can’t get it through my head why people would do this, especially if it would backfire on them in the long run. By making their acts of terror known to the world, they only provoke international awareness. They absolutely will not last without end in the hands of the U.S army, whom they have mocked and threatened in the past.

ISIS is a terrorist group that originated from Al Qaeda in 2004. This group was an ally to Osama Bin Laden’s notorious Al Qaeda; “meaning they both were radical anti-Western militant groups devoted to establishing independent Islamic state in the region” (Thompson, 2015). The differences with ISIS and Osama’s terrorist group is that ISIS has proved to be more brutal and more effective at controlling the territory it has seized. With ISIS being the strongest current terrorist organization the question has been proposed; how will the world defeat this “group”? How has it affected the world? How will the end of this “organization” affect the world, if there ever will be an end? In order for ISIS to be destroyed all of these questions must be

From the time when the United States invaded Iraq eleven years ago, a noxious insurgence aeriated at numerous customs of conflict which has attested irrepressible, malleable, and tenacious strive to convey on hostility. A nation of Saddam and al-Zarqawi, Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) reins a third of conjointly Syria and Iraq in its charisma avowed bravura of war. Around the beginning of 2010, U.S. and Iraqi forces destroyed two topmost al-Qaeda and Iraq frontrunners; which then sanctioned Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to become the spearhead of an assemblage destabilized by a strenuous operation directed at culminating a Sunni uprising in the country (CNN, 2015). By virtually all provision, Iraq is entangled in civil war. In addition, ISIS has engrossed nearly twelve thousand supporters from overseas already and at least three thousand devotees are from the West (Feroli & Dulin, 2013).

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.

Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which controls territory mainly in Iraq and Syria, was formed in April 2013, it was grown out of al Qaeda. The main ideology behind the organisation is based on Islamism, Salafism and Salafi Jihadism. ISIS was originally founded by Abu Musab al Zarqawi in Iraq. Before ISIL was established, Zarqawi has set up an al Qaeda franchise in Iraq during the occupation of country by the Americans. Later, however, Zarqawi became so extreme, his brutal actions in Iraq offended the jihadists, and led to al Qaeda disavowing him.

Firstly, here are some ambitious events showing that ISIS is threatening the world security and order. On November 13th, 2015, the Islamic State killed more than 100 people at several locations in Paris. On October 31st, 2015, 224 people died when a Russian jetliner crashes after leaving Egypt 's Sinai Peninsula, and ISIS claimed their responsibility. On March 20th, 2015, 137 death were caused by suicide bombers attack two mosques in Yemen. Except the casualty, their violence behaviours also aroused fear and chaos across the world. As a result, these terror attacks had changed the way of our lives. According to Hedley Bull (1995), one of the most fundamental goals of the anarchical society is upholding the independence of member states, maintaining peace, and helping to secure the normative foundations of all social life, which includes the limitation of violence (Jackson, 2013). To save the world basic human values, security, order and justice, those countries in power must weaken if not topple these dangerous radicals from their pedestals. The United States need to start a legal battle as the state is supposed to ensure the value of security and protect their citizens. Other than that, another solution for the extremism is to wait until either the world vital energy is not petrol oil anymore, or the oil resources in the middle east run out. However, it will probably take a long time for this solution. If the United Nation is not able to get rid of the extremism in a

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

Many people believe that a war can be fought against anyone and anywhere. However, this is not true. I.S.I.S., also known as Daesh, is a Sunni insurgent group whose goal is to establish an Islamic state to practice their religion freely without dissent. While some people may argue that Daesh is simply a religious institution because everything that it aims to accomplish (freedom of religion and an Islamic government, or caliph), others argue it is political because of its desire to set up a government. No matter how the situation is looked at, it is a clear problem because there is no real way to fight it. Contrary to a popular belief, this conflict is not just “one of those wars” that is good versus evil; it is so much more. Daesh (ISIS)

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 serious threat that most of the world knows about, although not a lot know about their origin or who and how they started. ISIS is a direct result of the 9/11 counter attack that was authorized by Bush in 2007. The push against Al Qaeda forces was all in all successful the majority of Al Qaeda Groups were destroyed. During the Arab springs a lot of rebel group's ranks were filled with Former Al Qaeda members. What was left of Al Qaeda leaders saw this and took advantage, they created a splinter cell called Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). AQI was lead by a man named Zaqueri who led AQI. The splinter cell did not last very long and once again fell apart. From the ashes of AQI formed a new organization of jihadist was formed this was called Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). ISI fought as a militia group to break free from a tyrannical ruler, but fights against other rebel groups and their fight has changed from rebels fighting for their rights to a jihadist group that is fighting a holy war. They have taken land up through Syria changing the name of this horrific war cult of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). There are a few things that need to happen

Every bombing every assassination is holding the world in fear. What the world wants to know is why is ISIS so dangerous? ISIS is very dangerous because of their mobility. They are also ruthless and extremely violent. Their laws are strict and absolute; often utilizing archaic methods of punishment not seen in the modern era. For example, thieves are punished by their hands being cut off. ISIS has turned Iraq into a bloody battlefield. It is clear that Iraq’s military cannot handle ISIS. According to the Atlantic Journal “Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” to discuss the recent fall of Ramadi, one of Iraq’s major cities, to ISIS. Despite possessing substantial advantages in both numbers and equipment, he said, the Iraqi military was unable to prevent ISIS forces from capturing the city.”(Schieva,2015)Iraq’s Ministry of Defence has shown time and time again that the don’t have the dedication nor the strength to deal with this threat. On the other hand, we have the Hashd al-Shaabi that has demonstrated they can resist they ISIS menace. According to Time Magazine “Their successes, seemingly lightning fast and absolute, were a stark contrast to the laborious work of the Iraqi army’s elite forces in Mosul’s eastern suburbs, where territory was being. wrestled from ISIS inch by inch. Rumbling to the frontlines in pickups and dump trucks, the Hashd fighters were ebullient. They were rolling over ISIS with ease, and they wanted the world to know it.” (Khan,2017) The Hashd al-Shaabi has proven itself to be effective against ISIS. It’s not their equipment that makes them deadly it is their mobility and the same resolve to destroy the other side as ISIS that makes them an elite fighting force. Think of The Hashd al Shaabi as a weapon and by using this weapon they are increasing their chances of winning against ISIS tenfold. But, if they refuse to accept and use this weapon they are

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

Before analyzing the savagery of the Islamic State, it is imperative to distinguish their beliefs from those of practical Muslims. ISIS is a Sunni jihadist (extremist) group-their ideology is reminiscent of the old-school views of the Muslim Brotherhood, and many of their principles are the same embraced by Al-Qaeda. In adopting extreme anti-Western interpretations of Islam, its adherents promote religious violence to oust “infidels” or “apostates” who threaten ‘their’ faith. Although these “disciples” are technically Sunnis, they have been classified as Kharijites-Muslims who have deviated from mainstream Islam, by the United States. (U.S. Senate) These “Kharijites” want to install a Salafist (authentic)-oriented Islamic state in Syria,
