The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)

The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) is a extremist militant group that emerged from conflicts in Iraq and Syria. It seeks to establish a caliphate based on a strict interpretation of Islamic law, often using violence and terror to achieve its goals. ISIS gained international attention for its brutal attacks, hostage-taking, and attempts to control territories in the Middle East. Although its territorial hold has been greatly reduced by global military efforts, it remains a threat through insurgent activities and radical propaganda. Its actions and ideology are widely condemned by governments, religious leaders, and communities worldwide.
