ISIS Research Paper

Eastern Terrorist Organizations:
ISIS
Is ISIS Really a Threat to the United States? ISIS is a newly formed group that operates in the Eastern part of the world. The goal of this group is to create an Islamic state across Sunni areas of Iraq and in Syria. Currently, they control hundreds of square miles all over Iraq and Syria; this number is growing greater everyday. I believe that ISIS presents very little threat to the United States as a whole. The goal of this paper is to establish if the U.S is indeed, threatened by this terrorist group known as ISIS.

    Osama Bin Laden changed the world on September 11, 2012, when he orchestrated the 9/11 bombings on the World Trade Center in New York City. He has also formulated many other attacks including the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole, and attacks on the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998 (Encyclopedia of World 1). Osama Bin Laden had a negative influence on societies, economies, and religion throughout the world because of his actions in masterminding many radical terrorist attacks, and because he created and funded al-Qaeda.…

    When dealing with racial tensions between Americans and Muslims after such a catastrophic event such as September 11th, the outlook on Muslims from an American’s standpoint may forever be tarnished. Much like the way Americans viewed Japanese following the attack on Pearl Harbor, although the Japanese people who we may come in contact with in the U.S. had nothing to do with the attack because they are Japanese, after the attack was not the best of times for them. All over the world following September 11th you would hear reports of violence towards Muslims by American citizens who in their own mind thought they were standing up for their country and in a way “getting back” at the Muslim…

    In previous decades, terrorism has been on the rise, and it has only continued to grow since the attacks of September 11th. In 2014, according to The Economist Magazine, over 30 million people were killed worldwide due to terrorist attacks (Daily Chart, 2015). This number is more than double the number of deaths from the previous year. In addition, the U.S. Department of State has over 60 different organizations listed as active terrorist organizations worldwide (Foreign Terrorist Organization, n.d.). In order for an organization to be deemed a “terrorist” organization by the U.S. Department of State, they must not only be a foreign organization, but they must be involved with the execution or planning of activities that have a direct effect on U.S. nationals or U.S. national security (Foreign Terrorist Organization, n.d.). With this threat being the main concentration of the United States over the last decade and a half, and still growing, it is easy to see why this is an area that the United States IC will continue to keep its center of attention on. What does make this more difficult, is the associated…

    Saddam Hussein was unarguably the world's most feared and powerful leaders. He ruled with an iron fist, his actions have caused fear and hate among the Iraqi citizens he ruled and people around the world. He ruled by oppression, with supremacy, committing atrocious acts such as testing chemical and biological weapons on the innocent civilians of his own country. During his time in power, he blatantly violated nearly all the United Nations laws that pertained to his country, and mocked those who attempted to obstruct his violent actions.…

    The attack on September 11, 2001 was an event which shows the violent and damaging effects that race thinking can cause. 9/11 marks not only the terrorist attacks of a select few Muslims, but sparked a fundamental change in the social and political world of America. It represents the perfect example of how governments – in particular, the Bush administration – use race thinking to commit acts of violence while furthering their own ulterior motives. These motives were created far before 9/11 happened, but the attacks served as a trigger point which allowed the government to call for the ‘defence’ of America, and launch their famous campaign, War on Terror.…

    As the 1991 Gulf War came to an end, another contention began to arise. The United Nations containment of Iraq was a success that led them to draw back from Iraq—yet still leaving Saddam Hussein as the Iraq leader. September 11, 2001 marks the day that thousands of Americans lost their lives, due to an attack schemed by Osama bin Laden. With the notion that Saddam Hussein had been fully involved with Osama bin Laden and an even stronger belief that Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear weapon program, on March 3, 2003 George W. Bush with the consent of Congress, declared the American Invasion of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. With every subsequent event occurring in the Middle East, the invasion arose as imperative at the time. Operation Iraqi Freedom was launched with the intent of once again containing dictator Saddam Hussein from the ability to develop and use weapons of mass destruction against its adversaries. The war lasted for eight years. Today the question is whether it was the right decision to invade Iraq or not. Although, the mission had…

    To begin, Isis is a very dangerous group of people. First of all Isis has nuclear weapons. Isis has nuclear weapons that they use to bomb the U.S. and other countries. Next, Isis has illegal weapons. Isis imports illegal weapons so they can kill as many people as possible. They use the weapons in terrorist attacks because they are fully automatic. Lastly, Isis believes in the “god” Allah. Isis believes that the more people they kill the better their afterlife will be because their god Allah would be happier. Isis is dangerous because they kill people based on their religion, which is not how God wants his children to act.…

    I will agree with you that ISIS is not a direct or “existential threat” to the U.S. As many of today’s pundits (political figures and media) portray ISIS to be an “existential threat” they are doing it to push their own agenda such as to advance their organizations position, funding or to get those beloved ratings. The word existential refers to the existence of something living, in this case the U.S. population. There are many ways ISIS can hurt or harm our allies, the U.S. and our citizens which has a high probability, however their ability to end the existence of the U.S. or its population has low consequences (NMS 2105, p. 6). Again, I will agree that ISIS is a security threat to the U.S. and our allies, these threats can cause death and…

    The main question that is asked is how can Canada deal with ISIS? Should the country take an approach such as the previously Conservative government did, enacting Bill C-51? Or should they attempt other courses of action, something that may be more long term? How could they approach this threat of national security while also maintaining civil liberties and privacy rights at the same time? It’s certainly not an easy question to answer, but it’s become certain that Canada needs to, at the very least, take a direction that in the opposite of Bill C-51.…
