The dis-loyalty is that they are not loyal to the other people that are not in the ISIS groups. Also they will kill the people that are in their group that show any kind of trade to the other side then they will kill you. If you do not fall all rules and you mess up just a little then they will execute you. This is not right, but they do not care, they just want to rule the world. And the people that they think are spying for the U.S. are being killed and then hung up to scare people and to show that they do not mess

There is a one simile to point out in the fifth stanza where it…

Hezbollah, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Tamil Tigers are politically motivated and their attacks are focused on their governments. Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIS and Lashkar E Taiba are all motivated by religion and their targets are…
