One of the most shocking and terrifying developments has been the rapid rise of the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) in the Middle East, as a major international terrorist threat. ISIS growth may appear to be sudden; but their coming together can be traced to the much talked Iraqi invasion of 2003; which somehow triggered the wave of anti-American sentiment. From these roots and their secretive natured leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi; ISIS has grown into a powerful and multinational terrorist organization. Here is a list of 7 most terrifying facts about ISIS:
Terrifying facts about ISIS
1. ISIS recruits worldwide
ISIS has managed to draw recruitment from 90 different countries of the World, with around 3,400 people traveling from the Western countries to join and fight in the Middle East. From France and Russia, over 1,200 people have been recruited and 600 people have been known to be recruited from Germany and United Kingdom each. Even the Americans and Canadians are not behind in joining ISIS, with 180 and 130 people joining respectively from these two countries also!
2. Beheading as a branding tool
One of the most successful and influential tool for recruiting for ISIS has been the series of videos they have released showing the executions of the prisoners through beheading. These propaganda videos separate ISIS from all other Islamic organizations; thus leaving a sense of power and control through their ruthless behavior.
3. Media Savvy Terrorists
ISIS usually conducts their propaganda campaign using all of the social media and latest production techniques; thus maximizing their ability in reaching to a wide group of so-called potential recruits. For this, they deploy social media experts who are well experienced in using Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
4. ISIS controls more land than many nations
ISIS has gained many areas in territory around Syria and Northern Iraq. Infact, they have captured enough land that they now have control over territory which is larger than many legitimate countries!
5. ISIS makes millions daily!
There is no doubt in considering ISIS to be the richest terrorist organisation of the World. They have even stolen $425 millions from the Mosul Bank and their regular income comes from various criminal activities such as extortion, theft of historical artefacts and even donations from wealthy persons!
6. A caliphate that controls the World
ISIS’s ideological inspiration revolves around the strict Sunni translation of the Koran. And this interpretation states that all the Muslims should live within a caliphate that is an Islamic Nation State, which enforces the harshest aspects of laws of Islam’s.
7. Agents of the Apocalypse
One of the beliefs of ISIS fighters is that they are the true agents of an upcoming apocalypse. And all of their current activities directly focus on bringing the end of the World.
Even after capturing large areas of land and deriving wealth from oil, criminal endeavors and artifacts; there are many instances when the ISIS have been funded by the Western Allies also!
