Isis Terrorist Group Topic#1 Isis is a very popular terrorist group that is going around the world threatening and killing thousands of innocent people. The purpose of this paper, is to explore the inside of Isis and whether or not it is a faith based terrorist organization. Isis was formed a long time ago before it became a big threat towards the U.S. In the beginning, Isis was simply a loosely formed terrorist organization that showed no threat to any country anywhere. Of course, over time after they banded into a full blown army with the gun power and military strategy to take down countries did the United States actually pay it more attention. Abu Ayyub al-Masri is the initial former …show more content…

Overall many believe that Isis’s overall idea is to take control of the world. “The ISIS's objective is the establishment of a worldwide Caliphate, reflected in frequent media reports by means of images of the world united under a ISIS banner” …show more content…

Others believe that Isis is just another terrorist organization wanting power, however the thing that separates them and other groups is that they have the ability to get power now. “Religion, Islam specifically, may not be the driving factor for ISIS, but there is no doubt that Islam is a factor in some way” (Violence). As shown in the quote, although religion may be a factor in Isis, it is certainly not the driving factor that keeps Isis on their path towards world domination. From a person of powers perspective, such as President Barack Obama, the thought process he would go through rather than mine is very different. The presidents job in this situation as the leader of the free world is to end it in any and every way possible. Many people are blaming the president for not taking action upon the terrorist group when they were discovered October 15, 2006 because they were not viewed as a global threat. Isis is currently in control of a large portion of land especially for a terrorist group. Isis is a very popular terrorist group that is going around the world threatening and killing thousands of innocent people. Isis is a very scary terrorist group that is to be watched out for. Thousands, possibly millions of people have fallen by the recently discovered national treat of

ISIS is a very particular and small portion of Islam that should not represent the religion; the five reasons in his article rationally support his view that the behavior of ISIS being Islam is over-emphasized, especially when compared to previous threats. Specifically, he points out several occasions in Germany, Japan, and the United States to make his point. To illustrate his point, Thompson continues to speak of the problem that over-generalization has presented. He brings up a reasonable comparison: generally calling ISIS an Islamic organisation is like generally calling the Klu Klux Klan a Christian one; the views of a small subset aren’t necessarily shared by the whole religion and may in fact be blatantly disagreed with by some.

The goal for AQC was to re-establish control over regions that the ‘west’ had invaded (Stern 108), which in turn regain their identity back through the thought that the idealized goal would be achievable. Al Qaeda’s vision was “for the restoration of the Islamic caliphate [is] framed squarely in the long term.” (Stern 192). Al Qaeda’s theme of “defending ones identity against aggression” (Stern 192) depicting that they were the trying to regain land that was taken from them by the ‘west’, ISIS’s goal however, was to create a utopian society for the marginalized groups thus establishing the caliphate over the region. With the flood of propaganda and the proclamation that ISIS had “reestablished the ‘caliphate’ and renamed itself simply ‘The Islamic State’,” (Stern 116) under the caliphate ISIS wanted to establish a reigning system, through the recruitment of young Islamist-Westerns to create their ideal utopian.

The story of ISIS all begins with one action, the United States-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, following the United States’ accusations that the President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had weapons of mass destruction, and had connections with al-Qaeda. Both of these claims would ultimately prove to be false. Yet, despite this fact, one of the claims made by the United States would prove to be the impetus that would spur a man named Abu Musab al-Zarqawi onto a path that would ultimately lead him to create a terrorist organization called Jama’at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad. Years later, of his successors, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi would change the name of this organization to ISIS, one of the most brutal and unrestrained terrorist organizations ever seen. But before

Over the last ten years or so ISIS has been terrorizing the Middle East, but even more recently their terror has branched out to the rest of the world. It’s become increasingly more difficult to go a single day without hearing something about ISIS.

ISIS on the other hand has different objectives. Their main intention is to overthrow the governments of Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan while creating a supreme form of government for all Muslims throughout the world.

Under the Social Control Theory, it involved criminological theories. Criminological theories means the organization have an intention to hurt others in order to have an interest for itself. ISIS in order to recruit more people from the world to join its organization, ISIS produces the high-impact video and chilling messages to grab the attentions from the people. According to Graeme Wood: “There is a temptation to rehearse this observation, that jihadists are modern secular people, with the modern political concerns, wearing medieval disguise, and make it fit the Islamic State.” The intention of ISIS is to have the attraction from the public, and planning to kill Foley.

In my opinion, I think that we should go to war with ISIS. ISIS is a group of about 200,000 people who have one religious belief: the apocalypse. So far ISIS has killed far too many innocent people in terrorists attacks. They have attacked Paris, Saudi Arabia, and have even commented that they would attack Washington D.C. ISIS is so extremely cruel that they have started teaching children about guns and ending the world beliefs in schools.
