**Who are "I.S.I.S."?**
Who are Isis? A terror group too extreme even for al-Qaida. It is formed by Yihadists. The objective of this group is to reconquer the ancient Umayyad Empire which goes from Spain to Persia. This group was officially launched in April 2013 as a merger between the group linked to al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), and a yihadist rebel group from Syria: Nusra Front. However, the fusion had not an extensive life. The first leader was Abu Bakr al -Baghdadi, who was born in the city of Samarra, in the north of Baghdad, in 1971. People say that he was an ancient militant of the goverment of Saddam Hussein, while other people support that he became a radical when he was 4 years in the Campo Bucca (USA) as a prissioner. The group follows the Islamic hard line against the West ; It promotes religious violence and call "infidels" people who do not follow it. He defends Islam as originally conceived, rejecting the religious innovations and using, in large part, to the eternal friction between Sunnis and Shiites. ISIS works as a caliphate : As defined by the Royal Spanish Academy, "Caliph" means "way of the Saracen princes as successors of Mohammed, exercised the supreme religious and civil authority in some Muslim lands". That is the objective of ISIS course. They just try to control the people through terror. (Abu Bakr al-Baghadadi) (ISIS)

Nowadays, people consider ISIS as the most dangerous group of the zone, beatting Al Qaeda. Decapitations of the journalists

= **ISIS ADVANCE** = This Islamic group has its origins in Iraq. But they are starting to expand their control in others countries, like Syria. They control Mosul and large areas of the province of Ambar. Few months ago, they conquered Anbar in western Iraq, from the Syrian province of Rakka. In the city of Fallujah they conquered weapons caches Iraqi army and resisted attacks from the Goberment. Now they control Mosul and areas where there is a lot of petrol. I.S.I.S. have demostrated that they can attack the most important European cities. This is the case of Charlie Hebdo. Masked gunmen with automatic weapons opened fire in the offices of a French satirical newspaper on Wednesday in Paris, the police said, killing 12 people and then escaping in a car. President François Hollande said the attack on the weekly, Charlie Hebdo, was “without a doubt” an act of terrorism and raised the nationwide terror alert to its highest status. He said that several terrorist attacks had been thwarted in recent weeks…. A senior French prosecutor said the victims included two police officers, including one assigned to guard the newspaper’s offices and its top editor. The second officer was shot and killed as he lay on the ground, the police said…. [A] United States official noted that, according to social media reports, the attackers did refer to the Prophet Muhammad, saying he was “avenged.”

Charlie Hebdo first attracted the attention of Islamists in February 2006 when it reprinted 12 cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed that had initially been published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The Charlie Hebdo cover read “Mohamed overwhelmed by fundamentalists” and featured a cartoon of Mohamed covering his face and saying, “It’s hard being loved by idiots.” That edition led to an unsuccessful lawsuit against the magazine by two French Muslim organizations under the country’s anti-racism law. In 2011, Charlie Hebdo’s offices were destroyed in a firebombing after it announced a special “Charia Hebdo” edition with Mohammed as guest editor. The cover featured a cartoon of the prophet saying, “100 lashes if you don’t die laughing.” In 2012, as violent protests flared around the world over a low-budget Internet film mocking Mohammed, Charlie Hebdo announced its intention to publish more images depicting the prophet. The French prime minister at the time issued a statement calling for “everyone to behave responsibly,” but the editor of Charlie Hebdo, Stéphane Charbonnier, was adamant. “We publish caricatures every week, but people only describe them as declarations of war when it’s about the person of the prophet or radical Islam,” Mr. Charbonnier told Der Spiegel. “When you start saying that you can’t create such drawings, then the same thing will soon apply to other, more harmless representations.”

Here is a video of the muslims:

After France outrage, I.S.I.S. attacked a museum in Tunisia.

On 18 March 2015, 24 people were killed in a terrorist attack at the museum. There were some Spanish who survived in the museum during the attack.

= I.S.I.S. burn people alive = Militants from Islamic State have burned 45 people to death in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, according to the local police chief. Col Qasim al-Obeidi said the motive was unknown but he believed some of the victims were members of the security forces. He has pleaded for help from the government and international community and said the compound, which houses the families of security personnel and local officials, was now under attack. It follows the capture of al-Baghdadi, near Ain al-Asad air base, by ISIS fighters last week.

The unconfirmed reports have haunting similarities to the video published earlier this month, showing militants burning alive a Jordanian air force pilot, whose plane crashed in Syria in December. Al-Baghdadi had been besieged for months by Islamic State fighters before its fall. It had been one of the few towns to still be controlled by the Iraqi government in Anbar province, where IS and allied Sunni Arab tribesmen launched an offensive in January 2014.   = OBJEC TIVES =

An extremist militant group has taken over number of major Iraqi cities at breakneck speed, but the threat it poses to Iraq and the world are unlike any terrorist threat we've seen before. The White House refers to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria as a terrorist organization. The group's name, however, reveals more about the nature of its aspirations. To reach its goal of establishing a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS has built itself to resemble a government, complete with a military, a police force, and public-works projects. Rather than using targeted attacks to further specific goals, ISIS is waging full-out war on the Iraqi government in a campaign to capture territory, then governing those territories in an organized fashion. ISIS is already laying down new laws in Iraq. Last week, the group handed out a "Contract of the City" to residents of the northern Niniveh province, where Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, is located. //The// //Washington Post// translated the contract's 16 main points, in which ISIS threatens to punish thieves by amputation, promises to sentence nonbelievers to death, and urges women to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary. In //The Atlantic,// Aaron Zelin looks to the al-Raqqa state of Syria for a hint of how ISIS might govern in Iraq. In al-Raqqa, where ISIS has been in charge since 2013, the group provides policing, many public works, religious education, and health and welfare programs.

ISIS also has a strong public-relations arm that trumpets the group's successes and trawls for new recruits. It maintains an active presence on Twitter and YouTube—apparently a must for any terrorist in this day and age—and used social media to publicize claims of a 1,700-person massacre in Tikrit over the weekend. Residents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a city far removed from the conflicts in Iraq and Syria, found propaganda leaflets stuffed into their car door handles and windshields last month. Just last week, a Twitter account called "Supporters of the Islamic State" tweeted a cartoon of ISIS fighters flying the black jihadist flag on the road to the Iraqi capital. An account named "ISIS Media Hub" retweeted the cartoon, shown below.

ISIS even releases annual reports that detail the group's tactics, objectives, and progress in its campaign to establish an Islamic state. Alex Bilger of the Institute for the Study of War examined the group's second annual report, released in March. The document is filled with more than 400 pages of detailed statistics and tactical notes. Noting the group's organized operating structure and sophisticated strategy, he concluded that ISIS is "functioning as a military rather than as a terrorist network." And the report is not meant only for internal consumption. A well-designed cover and an infographic that breaks down attack numbers by type suggest that ISIS wanted the document to see the light of day. "This is not a terrorism problem anymore. This is an army on the move in Iraq and Syria, and they are taking terrain," Jessica Lewis, an ISIS expert at the Institute for the Study of War, told //Time//. "They have shadow governments in and around Baghdad, and they have an aspirational goal to govern." As ISIS continues to expand its control of Iraqi territory and make good on its promise to erase the boundary between Iraq and Syria, the war it is fighting against the Iraqi army is looking less like a battle between government and terrorists and more like a clash between two militaries with competing visions of how to rule their country. ISIS is indeed a terrorist organization, but with an unprecedented emphasis on "organization." To think of it as anything but the state that it aspires to be is to misunderstand the threat it presents.

Apart of conquering Siria and Iraq, this Islamic group wants to recompse the Umayyad Caliphate.
