ISIS, a terrorist organization, now known as one of the most dangerous terrorist group ever to be create in the world is weakening each year according to IHS Conflict Monitor.

It considers its organization to be the “‘Islamic Caliphate’ or a theological empire” (Cassis, 2015).They control immense quantities of land in Western Iraq and Eastern Syria, as well as in other parts of the world—threatening to spread even farther.

In 1992, Zarqawi was incarcerated for drug possession and sexual assault. During this time, Zarqawi had the opportunity to focus and create religious motivation. After being held in prison for seven years, he was released in 1999, and sought out to Jihadist groups in Jordan. “It may also have been in Peshawar that Zarqawi first crossed paths with Osama Bin Laden, a wealthy Saudi then working to organize support for what he perceived as the beginnings of a global holy war” (Teslik, 2006).
ISIS’s goal is to implement Islam around the world. Their reward is the 72 Virgins— women who were promised after one is done fighting for their God, in Heaven. Over motives and rewards, the organization reigns terror over others and initialized terror and poverty
