Should America Get Involved With ISIS S
Dildora Sotimova 8-239
Mr.Cannavale 3/15/15 Should America get involved with ISIS?

‘’ISIS is known for killing millions of innocent people to turn them into Muslims. Or those who are standing in the way from their main goal – to create an Islamic State. ‘’(Wikipedia)
America should get involved with this movement because we are known for helping others in need and those who’s rights are being taken away. The group currently controls hundreds of square miles. It ignores international borders and has a presence from Syria's Mediterranean coast to south of Baghdad. It rules by Sharia law. And its aim is to create an Islamic State across Sunny areas of Iraq and Syria.
America should get involved to stop these terrorists from killing people, but not creating a religious state.

ISIS is also known for killing thousands of people, carrying out public executions, crucifixions, taking over large swaths of northern and western Iraq, and other acts. Their goal is to get more people to believe in Islam, and even become Muslims. All Muslims can agree that in our religious book, Quran, it is states ‘’no violence at all!’’ and to your own brothers, and sisters? Is a big no-no. So, this group is partially right to want to create an Islamic State, however it is not the right thing to do with violence. As it is, ‘’violence is never the answer!’’.
‘’ISIS has massacred religious minorities, including Christians and Yazidis, and American air strikes can prevent more wanton killing, the President has said. A second imperative is the defense of the Kurdistan Regional Government, a semi-autonomous, oil-endowed American ally in northern Iraq, which a few weeks ago was teetering under pressure from ISIS but has since recovered, with the aid of American air power. The third, and most resonant, reason that the President has given is self-defense: to disrupt ISIS before it tries to attack Americans in the region or inside the United States.’’ (THE NEW YORKER)

    “President George W. Bush is reaching out to Fallujah, the major foreign policy initiative of the second Bush administration. The name: Operation Phantom Fury. The strategy: Precision-strike democracy. The message: kill them all, and let God sort them out.”(Asia Times, Nov 10) After insurgents made an atrocious attack on Americans, the U.S forces launched a major assault in an attempt to re-establish security in Fallujah. The resulting engagements set off widespread fighting throughout Central Iraq and along the Lower Euphrates. Air bombardments rained on insurgent positions throughout the city in the attempt of the United States to take control. After three days of fighting, it was estimated that the United States had gained control over 25% of the city but after LT Gen Conway turned forces over to the Iraqis, the group dissolved and had turned over all the US weapons to the insurgency by September prompting the necessity of the Second Battle of Fallujah in November, which successfully occupied the city.…

    Isis was founded in 1999 by Jordanian radical Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Following the invasion in Iraq in 2003, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his group of militia, who will later be known as Isis, got plenty of notoriety in the early stages of the war in Iraq for the suicide attacks on Shia Islamic mosques, civilians, Italian soldiers fighting with the US, and Iraqi institutions. In October 2004, Al-Zarqawi's group officially pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda. They then changed their name to what’s known as al-Qaeda in Iraq. Attacks by the group on civilians, Iraqi government and security forces, foreign diplomats and soldiers, and American convoys continued with roughly the same intensity. A letter sent from Al-Qaeda…

    Dromi's Ideology

    • 1246 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Dromi’s argument that the issue of ISIS can only be resolved through total annihilation is hinged upon three main premises. The first factor in Dromi’s reasoning is that despite similarities between ISIS and piracy in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s there is a stark and critically important difference in their ideologies. Pirates kill for treasure while ISIS kills for God. In Dromi’s view they kill for different reasons so we must find different, and in ISIS’ case, more radical solutions that take this into account. In short, while it may appear that ISIS is similar to other violent groups, it is vital to see the situation with nuance and understand how different ISIS truly is. The next reason he has is that like the Nazis, ISIS must be handed…

    SWOOSH! A gray blur fast as lightning streaks across the sky and is followed by a tremendous explosion as an ISIS stronghold is reduced to a mere hole in the ground. Another successful mission accomplished by the United States Air Force. America has the most powerful, prestigious military in the world, and ISIS’s taunting remarks will dissipate as we prove our power. ISIS has slain too many innocent civilians, attacked too many of our allies, and made too many threats to our country for America not to get involved and exterminate these Middle Eastern pests. The solution to ISIS isn’t to sit back and watch as other countries deal with them. America must unite with its allies and attack through superior firepower if we are to come out victorious.…

    ISIS is a terror group and they have been credited for over half of all of the terrorist attacks that have been taking place. I think that we should go to war with them because if someone doesn't stop them then they won't stop. They are going to try to start their beliefs over here they want America to be theirs. They said in a news conference with a guy from America that they will see us in New York. If that doesn't make you want to go fight them i don't know what else would. I f we take take action quick they will be over here trying to force their way in here so that they can destroy everything. I'm not all that smart with war but i know that it will cost a lot of money and many deaths but if we don't do something about it now then it will end up costing way more money and a tion of more deaths than it ever would have if we would just go to war now! This is just a little bit of information that i have found explaining both sides of the story and i hope that you will choose a side and hopefully let's engage in…

    One ideology depicted in the article as used by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is Nihilistic. “Meaning nothing has any value or meaning in life and all morality is shunned by the organization” Dictionary.com. However, this is an inconclusive observation, as it falls short of justifying what ISIS is pushing for as a whole. If Nihilist hold nothing in/ of value then there isn’t a means to justify an ends or vise verse then people are traveling from all over the world to join ISIS for the benefit of joining a militia mindless killing relatively innocent people. Yet all actions however…

    Seeing the circumstances and situations in countries like Iraq and Syria coupled with the fall of the USA as a superpower; would encourage this group to spread their culture far and wide. This would affect the world adversely. In my opinion this expansion in the name of Islam has begun. One incident which explains it all is that of a young Indian Muslim who after going to Mecca was never found. The preface to his loss is that he had stopped using all Americanized goods such as his TV, Mobile Phone, Computer, etc. Rumor has it that he has now gone and joined the ISIS’s revolution against America. Let us be reminded that he is…
