It was not until recently that al-Qaeda and ISIS split. Al-Qaeda has been a threat to the United States since the 1990’s and after September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda was being targeted by the United States.

Few organizations have garnered as much fascination, fear, and attention in the realm of global security and terrorism as Al-Qaeda. This paper will cover the group's origins, purpose and ideologies, organizational structure, successes and failures, and prospects to assess its ability to achieve its ideological goals given its military capabilities.

ISIS was able to destabilize an entire region, control large territories, force neighboring countries to reevaluate immigration and foreign policy, branch into other parts of the globe, force recognition on the international stage, and rival other VEOs such as Al Qaeda; by using simple and hybrid methods of insurgency, Asymmetric warfare, and traditional forms of Islamic law and governance.
