Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS / aɪsɪs /) (Arabic: الدولة الاسلامية في العراق والشام al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-'Irāq fi wa-al-Sham), also known as the Islamic State [2] [3] (English : Islamic State (IS) Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية ad-Dawla al-'Islāmiyyah), and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (English: The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)) is a country and Jihad militant group that is not recognized in Iraq and Syria. The group is in its original form is composed of and supported by various Sunni insurgent groups, including organizations such as the predecessor Mujahedeen Shura Council [4] and Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) [5], including the rebel group Jaysh al-Fatiheen, Jund al -Sahaba, Katbiyan Ansar al-Tawhid wal Sunnah and Jeish al-Taiifa al-Mansoura, and a number of Iraqi tribes who claimed Sunni.

ISIS is known for having a harsh interpretation or commentary on Islam and brutal violence [6] [7] such as suicide bombing, [8] and loot the bank. [9] The target ISIS attacks directed especially against Shiite Muslims [10] and Christian [11 ]. Insurgents in Iraq and Syria has killed thousands of people. United Nations (UN) said more than 2,400 Iraqi civilians were killed along the majority of June 2014. The death toll was the worst of the violence in Iraq in recent years. [12] Action Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS ) This has led to no less than 30,000 small town in eastern Syria to evacuate. [13]

Central figure Militants Behind ISIS is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. [14] Under his leadership, ISIS declared themselves to join the Al Nusra Front, a group that claims to be the only affiliate of Al-Qaeda in Syria. ISIS has close ties to al-Qaeda until 2014. However, since the turn of the mission the mission of the national struggle with creating a sectarian war in Iraq and Syria and the use of violence, Al-Qaeda and did not recognize this group as a part of it again. [15 ] Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi even vowed to lead the conquest of Rome, the capital of Christianity-Catholic, Vatican City precisely located in the city center of Rome, Italy. [16] ISIS militant leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi also called on Muslims to abide him. [17]

Ideology and trust

ISIS is an extremist group that follows the hardline ideology of Al-Qaeda and deviate from the principles of jihad. [18] As with al-Qaeda and many other modern jihadist groups, ISIS arises from the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group first in the world in the 1920s an in Egypt. [19] ISIS follow the extreme anti-Western which he as an interpretation of Islam, the religion promotes violence and considers those who do not agree with the interpretation as infidels and apostates. Simultaneously, ISIS (now IS) aims to establish an Islamic state in Iraq Salafi-oriented, Syria and other parts of Sham. [18]

ISIS ideology derived from modern Islamic branch which aims to return to the early days of Islam, rejected the "innovation" in the religion that they believe have "corrupt" of the spirit of the original. They condemned the last Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire (Ottoman Empire; now the Republic of Turkey) as deviating from what they refer to as pure Islam and therefore have sought to establish the caliphate itself. [20] However, there are some Sunni commentators, Zaid Hamid, for example, and even Salafi jihad and muftis as Adnan al-Aroor and Abu Basir al-Tartusi, which says that the ISIS and associated terrorist groups are not present at all Sunni, but the Khawarij accused of heresy that serve the agenda of anti-Islamic empire. [21] [22] [23] [24]

Salafis like ISIS believes that the only legitimate authority can perform jihad leadership, and that the first priority on fighting in other areas, such as the fight against the countries of non-Muslims, is a purification of Islamic society. For example, when looking at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because ISIS considers the Palestinian Sunni group Hamas as apostates who do not have the legal authority to lead a jihad, they considered against Hamas as a first step prior to the confrontation with Israel. [25]

History of the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham

Previous ISIS is part of Al-Qaeda. [26] Under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ISIS had declared himself joined the Al Nusra Front, a group that claims to be the only affiliate of Al-Qaeda in Syria. However, because the method ISIS / ISIL is considered contrary to the Al-Qaeda because the mission has turned from a national struggle with creating a sectarian war in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is considered no longer in line with Al-Qaeda. [27] In response, Al-Nusra Front and launched attack resistance to ISIS / ISIL to regain control of Abu Kamal, Syria eastern region bordering Iraq. [28] However, because of the brutality and ambition of ISIS who does not hesitate to commit torture and even murder of opponents, ISIS can control most of Iraq . Even under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ISIS declared Islamic State of Iraq and Syria along and also stated Al-Baghdadi will be the leader for Muslims throughout the world. [29]

On May 15, 2010 was appointed the new leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to replace Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, who had died. Along with the revolution in the Arabian Peninsula, known as the Arab Spring in toppling dictators as happened in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, then there is also a revolution in Syria, only a demonstration of the people in Syria met with violence from the army of President Bashar Assad. Consequently Syrian People do perlawaan in armed groups. These groups assisted by fighters from abroad, including from the Islamic State of Iraq. And when fighting groups of the Syrian people is finally able to free up some of the city including the border with Iraq then menyatulah several cities in Iraq and in Syria in the control of the Islamic State of Iraq.

ISIS is considered more dangerous than Al-Qaeda because they have thousands of army personnel, who are ready to declare war against those who are considered to be contrary or opposed to the establishment of an Islamic state. [30] They become a new political force that is ready to launch a far more brutal than Al-Qaeda . Revolutionary movement which initially had a noble mission to overthrow authoritarian regimes have turned into tragedy. ISIS become a new force that is ready to launch a fierce resistance against the regime that is deemed incapable of carrying out the mission of the establishment of an Islamic state. Ironically, they endorse violence to oppress minorities and attack the regime in line with the paradigm of the Islamic state. [31] ISIS become a real political force with a clear ideology and the area occupied by violent means.

The Purpose

From the beginning to the formation of a pure Islamic state has become one of the main goals of ISIS. [32] According to journalist Sarah Birke, one of the "significant difference" between the Al-Nusra Front and ISIS ISIS is that "tend to focus more on building self-government in the territories conquered ". While both groups share a desire to establish an Islamic state, ISIS with "far more cruel ... sectarian attacks and impose sharia law soon". [33] ISIS finally reaches its destination on 29 June 2014, when it was removed "Iraq and Levant "from its name, to start calling himself as an Islamic state, and declared the territory occupation in Iraq and Syria as a new caliphate.

On July 4, 2014, the Union of Muslim Scholars Se-World (IUMS), headed by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, issued a statement that the declaration made ISIS caliphate to the region in Iraq and Syria are not legitimate Islamic law. [34]

In mid-2014, the group released a video titled "The End of the Sykes-Picot" English speaking Chilean nationality named Abu Safiya. This video announcing the group's intention to eliminate all the modern border between Islamic countries Middle East, especially in reference to the borders set by the Sykes-Picot Agreement during World War I. [35] [36]

Public Service Management Center

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant set up a special central agency that oversees the various activities of the State related to public services. Department was named "Al Idaaroh Al Islaamiyyah lil Khidmati al 'Aammah" or meaning "Islamic Administration Service Delivery", to be headed by a Director named Abu Jihad ash Shami.

Territory claimed

On October 13, 2006, the group announced the establishment of the Islamic State of Iraq, which claimed authority over the governorates of Iraq in Baghdad, Anbar, Diyala, Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninawa, and part of Babylon. [37] After the 2013 expansion of the group to Syria and the announcement of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the amount of authority for-provincial-recognized increased to 16. In addition to the seven authority for Iraq, Syria division, mostly lying along the border provinces, namely Al Barakah Al Kheir, Al Raqqah, Al Badiya, Halab , Idlib, Hama, Damascus and Latakia. [38]

In Syria, the seat of power ISIS was in Ar-Raqqah Governorate. ISIS main leaders, including Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is known to have visited the capital of the province, Raqqah. [38]

Propaganda and social media

The group is also known as the effective use of propaganda. [39] In November 2006, shortly after the establishment of the Islamic State of Iraq, the group established the Institute of al-Furqan Media Production, which produces CDs, DVDs, posters, pamphlets, and web-related propaganda products . [40] The main media outlets ISIS is I'tisaam Media Foundation, [41] which was formed in March 2013 and distributed through the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF). [42] In 2014, ISIS set up Al Hayat Media Center, which targets Western audiences and produce material in English, German, Russian and French. [43] [44] In 2014 also launched Ajnad Media Foundation, who sang nasheed jihad. [45]

The use of social media by ISIS has been described by one expert as "probably more advanced than [that] the majority of the US company". [46] In order to take advantage of social media, especially Twitter, to spread the message through the organization via hashtag campaign, encouraging Tweets on popular hashtags, and utilize software applications that allow propaganda ISIS to be distributed to supporters account. [47] Another comment was that "ISIS more emphasis on social media than other jihadi groups. ... They have a presence in social media very coordinated. "[48] Although social media ISIS on Twitter regularly closed, they often make a return, maintain a strong online presence. This group has been trying to browse to an alternative branch of social media sites, such as Quitter, Friendica and the Diaspora; Quitter and Friendica, however, immediately remove ISIS presence of their website. [49]

Finance

A study of 200 private -surat documents, expense reports, and list-name is taken from the membership of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq are conducted by the RAND Corporation in 2014. It was found that from 2005 to 2010, the contribution from the outside only by 5 % of the operating budget of the group, with the remainder raised in Iraq. In the period studied, the posts are required to send up to 20% is the income generated from kidnapping, extortion and other activities to the next level of the group's leader. The highest level commander will then distribute the funds to the posts of provincial or local who is in trouble or in need of money to carry out the attack. Records show that the Islamic State of Iraq depends on the cash member of Mosul, the leadership used to provide additional funding for militant struggle in Diyala, Salahuddin and Baghdad. [50]

In mid-2014, Iraqi intelligence extract information from ISIS operation revealed that the organization has assets worth US $ 2 billion, [51] making it the richest in the world jihad group. [52] About three-quarters of this amount is said to be represented by assets seized after the group took Mosul in June 2014, including a possible US $ 429 million was looted from the central bank of Mosul, as well as millions of additional and significant amounts of gold bullion stolen from other banks in Mosul. [53] [54]

ISIS routinely practiced extortion, by demanding money from the truck driver and threatened to blow up a business, for example. Rob banks and gold stores have become another source of income. [55] The group is widely reported to have received funding from private donors in the Gulf states, [56] both Iranian and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has accused Saudi Arabia and Qatar have ISIS fund, [57] [58] [59] [60] although not reported no evidence that this is the case. [60] [61] [62] [63]

The group is also believed to receive substantial funds from operations in Eastern Syria, where he was to command the fields involved in the smuggling of oil and raw materials and archaeological artifacts. [64] [65] ISIS also generate revenues from crude oil production and selling electricity in northern Syria. Some reportedly sold electricity back to the Syrian government. [66]

Equipment

ISIS has been using Stinger missiles into the air, [67] the M198 howitzer, [68] DShK guns mounted on trucks, anti-aircraft guns, [69] [70] firing automatic thrust and at least one Scud missiles. [71]

When ISIS conquered Mosul in June 2014, they seized a number of UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and cargo aircraft stationed there. [72] [73] However, according to Peter Beaumont of The Guardian, it seems unlikely that ISIS will be able to put them. [74]

ISIS capture of nuclear material from Mosul University in July 2014. In a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the UN envoy to Iraq, Mohamed Ali Alhakim say that these materials have been deposited in the university and "can be used in the manufacture of weapons of mass kenacuran" . Nuclear experts regard as a significant threat. Spokesman for the International Atomic Energy Agency Gill Tudor said that the materials seized were "low class and would not present a safety, a significant safety or risks for nuclear proliferation".

Baghdadi is seen being more knowledgeable than Bin Laden's Islamic and al-Zawahiri.

On July 5, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was known among his supporters as Caliph Ibrahim, for the first time showing his face on a Friday sermon in Mosul, Iraq.

Previous some leaked picture indeed, but Baghdadi itself does not appear in public for four years since becoming leader of the group formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq Jihadists, the name before the ISIS, which is now becoming an Islamic state.

Prior to April 2013, Baghdadi also not too much issuing audio messages.

His first was a speech written statement to the death of Osama Bin Laden in May 2011.

First audio message released in July 2012, includes the predicted victory of the Islamic State in the future.

Since the emergence of the group, 15 months ago, information about Baghdadi provided to the media increases.

The amount of specific information about the background are also increased.

Descendants of the Prophet Muhammad

In July 2013, the Bahraini ideologists, Turki al-Binali, who uses the name Abu Humam Bakr ibn Abd al-Aziz al-Athari, wrote a biography of Baghdadi particularly to underline Baghdadi family history.

He stated Baghdadi is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, one of the key requirements in the history of Islam to be the caliph or leader of all Muslims.

Baghdadi

Previously there was so many photos circulating Baghdadi.

Baghdadi is said to come from the tribe of al-Bu Badri, which is mostly located in Samarra and Diyala, north of Baghdad and east, and is historically known as the descendants of Muhammad's population.

Turki al-Binali then mentions that prior to the US invasion of Iraq, Baghdadi received his doctorate from the University of Baghdad Islamists, who focus on the study of culture, history, law and Islamic jurisprudence.

Baghdadi was preaching in the mosque of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal in Samarra.

He did not have a degree of Sunni religious institutions such as the University of al-Azhar in Cairo or Islamic University of Medina in Saudi Arabia.

Nonetheless he has more experience than the traditional Islamic education al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden and Aymen al-Zawahiri, both of which are ordinary people, engineers and doctors.

That's why Baghdadi received praise and higher legitimacy among its supporters.

Being a leader

After the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, Baghdadi and several colleagues founded the Jaysh Jamaat Ahl al-Sunnah wa-l-Jama'ah (JJASJ), Armed Forces Residents Sunni group, which operates from Samarra, Diyala, and Baghdad.

isis

Islamic countries try to control the oil-rich region in Iraq and Syria.

Within this group, Baghdadi became the leader of legal council. US-led forces hold of the month from February to December 2004, but released him because Baghdadi is not considered a high-level threat.

Following in the footsteps of al-Qaeda in the Land of Two Rivers renamed Majlis Shura al-Mujahideen (Mujahideen Shura Council) at the beginning of 2006, leaders expressed their support and incorporation JJASJ themselves.

In the new structure, Baghdadi joined the board of the law.

But not long after the organization announced a name change back at the end of 2006 to the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) Baghdadi became public officials in the provincial legal council in the "country" a new addition to the senior advisory board member of the ISI.

When the leadership of the ISI, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, died in April 2010, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi replace it.

Historical figure?

Since becoming leader of the Islamic State, Baghdadi build and revive the organization in disarray because of the rise of Sunni tribal rejected while at the same time also increased the power of the US military.

Compared with the first attempt to rule the Islamic State in the last ten years, so far, although still using violence, they are seen as more successful though still raised questions about its sustainability in the long term.

This success is partly because they combine the application of hard law to social services, while also feeding strategy.

If explored, Islamic State target areas along the Euphrates and Tigris River in addition to areas that have oil in Iraq and Syria.

Baghdadi and other Islamic State leaders realize monopoly on energy and increase military strength will facilitate the accumulation of power.

Can not be predicted precisely the fate of the Islamic State in the future, but Baghdadi obviously make the organization become more known to the world. BBC
