What is ISIS?

Hello readers and welcome to my fourth blog post! In my last post, i spoke about a tragedy that happened in two very small cities but in this post, I will be looking at the cause of these incidents. Like i said in my last post, i will be talking about ISIS, who they  are, what they want and also what they are doing. Like most of you know, ISIS stands for the Islamic State of Irak and Syria, also known as the Islamic State of Irak and the Levant, (ISIL). They are a militant group that follow an islamic fundamentalist, doctrine of sunni islam, one of the three types of Islam i mentioned earlier in one of my blog posts. This militant group has been active since 1999 and have joined in Al-Qaeda in the month of October 2004 a couple years after the 9-11 incedent but later separated from Al-Qaeda February 4th 2014. ISIS have posted disturbing footage of their soldiers torturing and killing Iraqi and Syrian civilians, demolishing buildings families are living and taking people's money and other expensive treasures.

They are also guilty for selling oil illegally throughout different places in the world to make some money for weapons and trucks, especially Toyotas. Why Toyotas? Because hundreds of Toyota pick up trucks were found in some footage posted by ISIS supporters  and no one knows how they got There. 

Many ask why ISIS is doing all these terrible things. A man named Rahul Baxi sais: "Their reasoning behind all this is to form a nation governed by Islamic rules and regulations.  People who follow religion blindly, totally blur the thin line between sane and insane.  For them anyone who disagrees with their religion is a threat that needs to be eliminated''.  

What Rahul is saying is that they intend to make Irak and Syria a merged country named "Islamic State" and they want to make the sunni islamic religion strictly a requirement and not a choice, If one doesn't follow these rules abd regulations, they are considered a threat and must be eliminated.

This is really terrible news because if ISIS succeeds with this plan, They could put even more people in danger than they already have. Imagine living in a country where most of your money and

belongings are taken away by a government that uses this money to harm others. Its a tragedy that needs to stoped really soon.
