Should we stop the ISIS group/ leave them isolated?

ISIS should be stop. They dont want peace because their Leader, Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi said himselves that Islam is not a religion of peace but its a religion of war. Every
countries are in danger, not only the country in the middle east. Theyre discriminating any other
religions or even sexual orientations. Nowdays, every single person have a human rights and
that should be respect. But ISIS isnt doing that. They have done many evil stuff and saying it
was for God and its not a excuse. Even they are already controlling lots of part in middle east
but therere no sign of stopping. There was a new that theyre going to attack some part of
south-east asia.
They must be stop. Theyre not much different from modern nazi. Before the thing get
worse. We should pay more attention to them, even media should also pay more attention to
them. We should do our best to stop them and surely they would be stop by the help of people
around the world.

Where does ISIS came from?

Back in 2006, when Al-Queda group in Iraq which was under control of Abu Musab al-
Zarqawi had a very important goal, it was to gather a war person who was against Shia Islam
together. It was very successful when they bombed the main mosque of the city called Samar.
after the assacination of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi by the US forces, Al-Queda was so
weakened that it was almost destroyed and abandoned. However, sooner after, there was a
new group of Al-Queda formed, under the name of ISI. Later, they add Syria and made it
became ISIS nowadays.

Who is incharge?
The former leader is Abu Omar al-Baghdadi but he was assassinated by US force. Later
on, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi became a new leader until now but there was a source said that he is
dead but it isnt confirmed yet. His death is still unknown.

What is their goal?

To form Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

How are they doing right now?

Thier goal of this islamic warriors is to built a new state called Islamic State.
They even made their own law called Sharia Law which are based on rule of Islam religion. This
is to control people. Its a very strict law. The punishment is very harsh. It control every bit of
peoples life not only with the religion.

Where do they get the investment (money) from?

They started to rob and threaten and asked for protection racket from the company that is doing
a business. When they received more money, they changed their way of attacking by
assasnitate and bomb government people like police to steal governments weapons.

What made them so strong that they still exist until now?
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi avoid to do the same mistake Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has
done. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi mistake was when he tried to eliminated the important
person in the place that they conquered. Instead, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi decided to
leave them where they were. For example, when they conquered a city in Iraq called
Fallujah in January 2014. Instead of putting their ISIS flag to showed that they is
incharge, they decided to work with the leader of the local people. This was to get
local peoples trust. They provide Social welfare for the people including held an
activity for kids, giving away food and and even a medical clinic in each
places. But everything work very strictly under the Sharia law.

Their weakness
1.Make enemies surrounding
-In Iraq, ISIS fight with Shia Islam, Kurd, Christian and Zoroastrianism.
-Outside of Iraq, ISIS declared the plan to dominate the world. They made enemies
many countries such as Japan, US and Jordan.

2) Weak on seizure Lack of water and food In drought area between Turkey, Syria, and Iraq for
many consecutive years which made the amount of wheat decrease continually up to 40%.
Normally, in Turkey they released water out of the dam but in this year they slowly decrease the
amount of water. Its affect neighboring countries by make them be waterless.

3) Cant control sky territory. It made massive artilleries such as fire gun, tank, truck and etc.

Relationship between ISIS and other Al-Queda group

In 2013, ISIS had successfully captured some parts of land in Syria and declare that they also
received the help from al-Nusra Front. Their purpose is to make the Chia government od Mr. Al-
Azard collapse. However, the al-Nusra Front disagree which lead to the attack began.
