Many Muslims have initiated jihad.It is known in a promotional video that ISIS created that they believe that the flag of Isis honor them to commit Jihad answering a call to obey the Lord Allah. They believe, unlike other countries, they are the soldiers who stomp down nationalism .They feel honored to commit Jihad under the Lord 's command because of the authority of a supreme being and their hatred for nationalism. This would make ISIS members obliged to kill. Part of their ethnic background relates to how credible ISIS’s claims are. Khilafa,Established in 1345 is built on prophetic methodology, unlike secular states who supposedly fight for the wrong things. Daesh does not like the USA at all, and they do not believe there is a God on their side. A most commonly heard set of words by muslims which are “Allahu Akbar” meaning“God is Greatest” is heard normally by ISIS in shaky cam footages of their attacks, as if to justify their attacks with a praise to God. What unfortunately creates more individuals to join ISIS is when there is an western intervention. Whenever the west intervenes in these situations, it causes more dispersion in the Arabian world, The Saudi Kingdom has strong belief and convictions, and we ultimately end up losing wars even if we are victorious in battles. This is because ISIS bites back if you kick it. …show more content…

Basically proclaiming how much of a better organization ISIS is than the U.S.. Someone who would want to be with the stronger nation might be convinced with their propoganda to join. Those who are searching for a place to be are called out to in the video ISIS made with special editing saying how there is equality of race in piety. This is supposed to bond them together in their extreme acts of religious faith allowing for all races to join, free from the discrimination of skin color. As this message is portrayed, a picture of soldiers (presumably ISIS) are holding in arms, of color white, black and asian giving a warm look to join the

    If we take away their territory, they cease to be a caliphate, a tempting argument for the US to intervene in the situation. But, as Wood mentioned in his article ISIS wants the US to invade. That would bolster recruitment and radicalize Muslims worldwide, which is a strong argument against intervention. I strongly believe ISIS may become a victim of its own success. It’s only a matter of time before this mass of poor people with high expectations confronts economic deprivation, discontent, and a reduction in the number of believers immigrating to the…

    The Islamic State has one goal, to create a New World Order, the caliphate. They want a world system which operates through only the Islamic form of norms and ideals. The same idea is evident in the World State; everyone thinks the same and no one questions it. Likewise, both can only separate people into two groups. In ISIS’ case, it is the believers and the non-believers, seeing the believers as superior and the non-believers as their enemy, anyone in between should either be the killed or forced to pick a side.…

Scott Shane, a writer, claims that “Some merely express anger at American foreign policy or at what they see as mistreatment of Muslims overseas. Others go further, trying to reach Islamic State territory or plotting violence at home" (Scott). This quote explains how ISIS targets the recruits by striking them with persuasion and why they have a sense of hate towards the United States.
