The Main Fact About Isis by trinel(m): 6:43pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
ISIS is one of the strongest and most radical
islamic terrorist organisations. This set of
answers to main questions about ISIS will help
you to imagine how horrible and powerful they
are.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) also
known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL) or simply Islamic State (IS) is an
Islamic extremist rebel group controlling
territory in at least four countries, including
Libya, Nigeria, Iraq, Syria with operations or
affiliates in Lebanon, Egypt, and other areas of
the Middle East,North and West Africa,South,
and Southeast Asia.
1. Leader
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: Very little is known about
al-Baghdadi, but a biography posted on jihadist
websites in 2013 said he earned a doctorate in
Islamic studies from a university in Baghdad.
Part of the Iraqi insurgency, Baghdadi was
arrested in 2006 and held at Camp Bucca, an
American prison in Iraq. Baghdadi joined al-
Qaeda following his release. Now, he is the most
wanted and feared terrorist in the world, with a
$10 million bounty on his head.
2.Why do they exist?
ISIS exist to spread Islam and Islamic rule across
the lands of the classical Abassid Caliphate and
further even into the Iberian Peninsula. As such,
ISIS shows little understanding of the very
checkered history of the Caliphate. In this, ISIS
tends to be a type of romantic movement but an
incredibly brutal one. Many Sunnis in Iraq (and
Syria) feel disenfranchised by either the Alawite
rule of Bashar al-Assad in Damascus or the
Shi’ite rule of Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad. I think
many Sunnis look upon ISIS as the only effective
opposition to, especially, the regime in Baghdad.
I am not sure but I suspect that the loyalty does
not go much deeper.
3. Origin
ISIS’ beginnings can be traced to the Second
Gulf War in 2003, when the U.S., along with a
small coalition of other nations, invaded Iraq
and toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. Amongst
the diverse insurgency fighting coalition forces
and new Iraqi government was the extremist
Islamic group al-Qaida in Iraq.
ISIS was formed out of the al-Qaida affiliate in
2013 and led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
4. Aim
The aim of ISIS is to create an Islamic state,
referred to as a caliphate, across Sunni areas of
Iraq and in Syria.
5. Funds
The Islamic State is one of the best-funded
terrorist organizations operating today. With
private financiers allegedly coming from Qatar,
Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the Islamic State also
controls several oil fields, operates complex
extortion schemes throughout its territory and
heavily taxes the people living under its rule. |
