What is ISIS?

[planosteve]

Funny how just a year ago, nobody had ever heard of "ISIS" or "ISIL". And now it controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. We are told that it is some kind of all volunteer terrorist military from all over the world, especially Europe. And who just happened to meet online and decide to go to the mideast and fight a war. If you believe that, I got a bridge I want to show you.

So, what is ISIS? Why does it exist?

"The Islamic militant group ISIS, formerly known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and recently rebranded as the so called Islamic State, is the stuff of nightmares. They are ruthless, fanatical, killers, on a mission, and that mission is to wipe out anyone and everyone, from any religion or belief system and to impose Shari'ah law. The mass executions, beheadings and even crucifixions that they are committing as they work towards this goal are flaunted like badges of pride, video taped and uploaded for the whole world to see. This is the new face of evil".

Here's the best thing I've read that explains it all the way back to the beginning. There is a lot here, so it will take awhile. You won't get this stuff on Fox or the Limbaugh Show. See what you think.

I think that that's a good explanation or definition of 'who' isis is . As far as the link , I haven't checked it out yet . I don't know if its important to know who brought them to power and I think the important thing is to stop them from doing what they are doing . Thanks for the opening post though !!
