There are many current issues in the world today but the one that I am going to focus on is the current problem we are having with ISIS. ISIS stands for "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" and what it is, is it is a Middle Eastern terrorist group that has been capturing people that are non-Muslim and beheading them. ISIS can be traced back to 2003 but was not an official group until April of 2013 and there is no specific location to where this terrorist group was created but it was somewhere in Iraq. The leader of ISIS is named Abu Bakr al-Baughdadi who in the beginning was put in the American jail, Camp Bucca, in southern Iraq but was released in 2009. ISIS goal is to establish a caliphate within the entire world which is a Islamic State lead by a religious leader called a "Caliph". Basically meaning they want to make the entire world Sunni Muslim. So far what ISIS has done is that they have taken over an area extending from Syria to Iraq approximately equal to the size of Connecticut. They have also beheaded 100 of thousands of men, woman, and children that refused to convert to the Muslim children that lived in Iraq. They also captured people from the United States and beheaded them for being Christian. ISIS hates the United States just because the U.S's main religion is Christianity and not Sunni Muslim. The biggest threat to the US about ISIS is that since ISIS has captured random people and beheaded them which makes it safe for no one because it can be anybody they decide to capture. For us to prevent ISIS from committing anymore crimes we would have to take them out because that's the only way they are going to stop because they think that what they are doing is good because they claim it's the right thing to do in their religion.
