ISIS’s (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) Impact on Muslims and the World

Over the past years and decades terrorist and extremist groups have carried out attacks that have had some serious effects on the world. Many people live in fear because they do not know what to expect next. ISIS has not only brought shame to other Muslims but it has also killed and injured many of them and many others around to world. ISIS has carried out many attacks most of those attacks are in the Middle East, however their attacks have reached international levels. This extreme use of force and power is hurting Muslims in and out of the Middle East as well as other minority religious groups, not to mention the thousands hurt and killed in their attacks outside of …show more content…

The majority of Muslims despise ISIS, fellow Muslims are actually their most common victims and their most targeted enemies. The world’s religious Islamic political leaders condemn ISIS and its members as well as do the majority of Muslim states because of the fact that ISIS has evidently declared a war on their institutions such as religious temples, etc. In fact many of the Muslim people do not agree with the teachings that ISIS has promoted to the world using Islam as the foundation and justification for these teachings. And despite there being 1.2 billion Muslims ISIS has only been able to recruit about 2000. Those are other Muslims who practice the extreme and conservative form of Islam, after all every religion is what people chose to bring and get out of it. In ISIS’s case they want to speed up the arrival of the apocalypse and turning the world back to a medieval time. ISIS has created a stereotype for all of the Muslims around the world because now many people see them as terrorist or extremist even though Islam is not to blame for ISIS. Many of the people who were living in those now war torn countries have to seek refuge in other countries. However most countries won’t open up to take in refugees because of the reputations ISIS has created for them. So despite believing in the same religion they practice very different version of it and in no way should the actions of ISIS influence the view of other Muslims around the

The article “This is Not the Crusades: There’s Nothing Medieval about ISIS,” discusses how recent politicians tend to portray ISIS and its behavior as similar to what occurred during the Crusades in the medieval times. In even more disturbing turn of events, many groups and countries use the thought that ISIS is acting like the medieval times, as a means of rationalizing that this violence is tolerable. According to the article, “ISIS perpetuates a myth of an Islam always in conflict with the Christian West. If history teaches that such conflicts can never be resolved…all Muslims will have to join their campaign of terror” (Perry 2). The author goes on to note that such thoughts are not based on history, but instead are utilized by radical activists to further their unholy cause.

After 9/11 happened things changed drastically for specifically Muslim people. Anyone who looked similar to a “terrorist” was categorized as a terrorist, which is something that should not be assumed and should not be taken lightly by anyone. Many Muslims were scared for their lives and did not want to partake in their traditional values, such as wearing a headscarf because they did not want to be confronted by anyone. People also chose to change their names because when people would hear the name “Mohammed” people were very quick to judge who you were and would treat you very different. A study shows that in 2001 after 9/11 a record high 481 hate crimes against Muslims happened, and they were ranging from Muslim’s being murdered,

Isis warfare is motivated through religion. Just like the Trojans our motivated by their gods to fight, young Muslims are giving up their chances of future to defend their religion and fight for it. Muslims volunteer to defend to their religion with a hope to please their God, just as the warriors fought in the name of their gods for inspiration. The Trojans are charging the Greeks fortress on foot when a mighty eagle soars with a serpent in its talons. The serpent pierces the eagle, which forces the eagle to lose its grip and drop the serpent above the battle.

In 1999, The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was formed. Since then, this group of radicals has grown both in size and strength, having gone from small scale acts of terror to large, highly organized acts of terror such as the 2015 Paris Attacks. It is widely believed that the ideals that ISIS enforces are newly invented, but on close examination of the Christian Crusades of the middle Ages, it can be observed that the Christian Crusaders and the Islamic State in Syria share most of the same ideals. In my opinion, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria can be compared to the Christian Crusades because they both wanted to convert others to their religion, they both committed mass genocide to convince non-believers to follow their ideals and they both performed mass ethnic cleansing to remove non-believers.

“ISIS has gained international attention by beheading prisoners and enemies and then posting pictures of the violence on social media. Al Qaeda, in contrast, has shunned that practice because it risks turning off less extreme Sunnis and other Muslims from sympathizing with their cause” (Wong). The beheading has been used to strike fear into the people that oppress Isis, but Al Qaeda has stopped beheading to help strength there cause. ISIS is more popular with young people. ISIS now has more followers than al Qaeda because of the recruitment boom to Syria.

Islam has been consistently portrayed as a violent-prone religion that is diametrically opposed to the West decidedly since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The emergence of various terrorist groups such as the self-proclaimed Islamic State group (ISIS) have further reinforced the negative perception of Muslims in that they are threatening, fanatical and bigoted extremists. Terrorist organisations allegedly release videos in the media of the beheading of their prisoners who are often Western journalists and mass executions of innocent citizens. Accordingly, Islamophobia, being the collective hatred against Islam, has substantially increased in frequency and extent during the past decade and has also become the mainstream media discourse in social

In reality, those terrorist who call themselves Muslims are not Muslims because they are polluting Islam by twisting and turning it to give themselves an excuse to conduct violence and unjust against others. No matter what religion someone has, people have no right to attack them. As long as it is ethically/morally okay, it doesn’t matter what they believe in. Whether they are going to affect you in a positive or negative way is what matters. There are a number of reasons why people want to join hate groups.

The terrorist group even instils terror in the hearts of those in western countries. When people witness a playground where children once gathered and streets that used to bustle with life all turned into graveyards, fear is certainly one of the biggest things one could feel. Isn’t it obvious that the only option is to escape when someone thinks putting the fate of their life into the unforgiving ocean is safer than the land? Quite frankly, another factor that leads to the lost lives of Syrians is the religious stigma forced upon them because they’re Muslims. It is quite popular for many to correlate Islam to terrorism, unfortunately, this way of thinking is toxic and has even caused many countries to close their doors to the struggling

People who participate in extremist groups do horrible acts to those who do not worship same religion as them. When groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda do acts of terror they do not believe they are doing wrong. The leaders of these groups are deceiving their people into thinking it is right to kill other religious groups. This is an extreme case in how religions believe that other religious groups have been deceived and need to be punished in order to serve their God. Islam is not a dangerous religion; they preach love for all, and hatred for none.
