This terrorist group was formed in 1999, and was known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). The leader of ISIS is Abu Bakr al-Baghadid. It is said that he received his doctorate in Islamic studies from a university in Baghdad.
Abu Bakr al-Baghadid and his militia are known for killing dozens of people at a time, and carry out public executions and other barbaric acts. The goal for ISIS is creating an Islamic state across Sunni areas of Iraq and in Syria.
Once former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's military was disbanded, former soldiers became ISIS fighters. And then the numbers grew from there. ISIS is a group that has over $100 million in funding. So if you're looking to slow them down, you have to have a strategic plan.
President Barack Obama has dedicated time and effort to make sure that the United States will stop ISIS once and for all. He's been on the offense by adding an additional 1,500 troops to Iraq to fight the terrorist group. Obama chose not to go to combat with ISIL, but he's conducted airstrikes which has been effective in Syria.
In the past few months, this group has been on every news channel across the world. They gained notoriety when they decided to record and post on YouTube the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley. He was decapitated by ISIS militants. It didn't stop there. The group started to threaten more lives of American journalists to make a point.
ISIL's philosophy and representation comes from their black flag. The phrase on the flag says, "There is no God but Allah". Their parent organization Al-Qaeda also carried that flag.
ISIS believes in converting non-believers into believers by force, which includes rape, violence, kidnap, and murder. Everyday this terrorist group is growing by the dozens, and citizens across the world are joining in on the action. They are promised money, stability, women, safety, religion, and fighting for a cause.
We can't take our eyes off of ISIS for one moment, because they'll keep attacking and killing the innocent people of Iraq and Syria. By then the countries will be taken over and destroyed by the hands of ISIL.
