Script:
It appears that hardly a day passes in which the Islamic State, likewise referred to as ISIS or ISIL, does not appear in a paper or on a television news screen. And the news is always bad– dreadful death and wanton damage of a type rarely seen in modern-day history.
What is the Islamic State? Where did it stem from? What does it desire? And why? Let’s try to address these concerns in turn.
ISIS is the void child of Saddam Hussein’s program and al Qaeda. Saddam’s previous military and intelligence officers hold many of ISIS’s a lot of senior positions and have supervised the group’s increase to prominence. These jihadists became called al Qaeda in Iraq when their leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi swore his responsibility to Osama bin Laden in 2004.
In 2013 he defied orders from his superiors and specified that his group was now the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or Levant, understood by its acronyms ISIS and ISIL. It’s worth keeping in mind that ISIS continues to market Osama bin Laden’s endorsement of them to this day.
What does ISIS desire and why? ISIS is attempting to reanimate an empire similar to those that established in Islam’s early history.
ISIS’s leaders prefer their fans to believe they are combating as part of this very same religious war. When ISIS’s Libyan branch carried out 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in 2015, ISIS promoted the slayings in a video entitled, “A Message Signed With Blood to the Nation of the Cross”– “the Nation of the Cross,” obviously, meaning Christians.
Regardless of looking for to spark an inter-faith war, however, most of ISIS’s victims are Muslims, especially Shiite Muslims for whom ISIS, which is Sunni Muslim, harbors an unique annoyance. ISIS declares that any Muslim who does not swear bay’ah (an oath of commitment) to Baghdadi is an “infidel” or an “apostate.” Even ISIS’s competing jihadists in al Qaeda are considered apostates, due to the fact that they decrease to genuflect to Baghdadi.
