The Islamic State

The Islamic State (ISIS) is a militant extremist group that emerged in Iraq and Syria, seeking to establish a strict interpretation of Islamic law through violent means. It gained international attention for its brutal tactics, including terrorism, mass killings, and attempts to create a self-declared caliphate. The group recruits individuals worldwide, often exploiting political instability and conflicts in the Middle East. While it has lost much territory, ISIS remains a threat through insurgent activities and ideological influence, challenging regional security and global efforts to combat extremism.
