76. ISIS is a shorthand name for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and it has
made news in the past few months….
….for its dramatic military conquest of Iraqi territory
….its ruthless treatment of Iraqi minorities such as the Yazidis,
….and a string of videotaped beheadings of Western hostages
What is ISIS?
What do you know
about ISIS?
77. • The situation in Iraq and Syria is complex, to say the least.
• It presents a continuing humanitarian crisis, with millions of
people fleeing for their lives, and hundreds of thousands
being killed.
78. • It presents a threat to Middle East
stability, with ISIS promising to create
an Islamic caliphate, or state,
erasing modern borders and
imposing its own version of
fundamentalist law.
• Furthermore, ISIS presents an
unknown threat to the larger world
with the militant group beheading
international hostages and
recruiting jihadists from across the
globe.

79. 1. ISIS used to be called al-Qaeda in Iraq
• It's essentially a rebooted version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, the
Islamist group that rose to power after the American invasion.
• US troops and allied Sunni militias defeated AQI during the
post-2006 "surge," but it didn't demolish them.
• In 2011, the group rebooted. ISIS
successfully freed a number of
prisoners held by the Iraqi government
and, slowly but surely, began
rebuilding their strength.
• The chaos today is a direct result of
the Iraqi government's failure to stop
them.
(8) facts that explain the escalating
crisis in Iraq
Updated by Zack Beauchamp on June 13, 2014, 9:49 a.m. ET
80. • Their goal since being founded in 2004 has been remarkably
consistent: found a Sunni Islamic state.
• "They want complete
failure of the government
in Iraq. They want to
establish a caliphate in Iraq."
• Even after ISIS split with
al-Qaeda in February 2014
(in large part because ISIS was
too brutal even for al-Qaeda),
ISIS' goal remained the same.

2. ISIS wants to create an Islamic state in Iraq and Syria
Syria
Iraq
Area controlled
by ISIS
81. • Perhaps the single most important factor in ISIS' recent
resurgence is the conflict between Iraqi Shias and Iraqi
Sunnis
• These are the two major denominations of ISLAM
ISIS fighters are Sunnis, and the tension between the two groups is
a powerful recruiting tool for ISIS.
Shias run the govt and Sunnis don’t feel they are fairly represented
and have been treated poorly
3. ISIS thrives on tension between Iraq's two largest
religious groups
http://www.bbc.com/news/magazin
e-27945271
82. • Police have killed peaceful Sunni protestors and used anti-
terrorism laws to mass-arrest Sunni civilians.
• ISIS cannily exploited that brutality to recruit new fighters.
4. The Iraqi government has made this tension worse by
persecuting Sunnis and through other missteps
5. ISIS raises money like a government
In Syria, they've built up something like a mini-state: collecting the
equivalent of taxes and selling electricity to fund its militant activities.
Some reports suggest they've restarted oil fields in eastern Syria.
83. • Kurds are mostly Sunnis, but they're ethnically distinct from
Iraqi Arabs.
• There's somewhere between 80,000 and 240,000 Kurdish
peshmerga (militias)
• They're well equipped and trained, and represent a
serious military threat to ISIS.
• They have started to
fight back as ISIS has
attacked them
6. Iraq has another major ethno-religious group, the
Kurds, who could matter in this fight
84. • Mosul is the second-largest city in Iraq
• It’s fairly close to major oilfields.
• It’s close to the Mosul Dam which is important in the
country’s water supply
7. Mosul, the big city ISIS recently conquered, is really
important — and ISIS has spread out from there
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-28892365
85. 8. The Iraqi Army is much larger than ISIS, but also a total
mess
ISIS has a bit more than 7,000 combat troops
The Iraqi army has 250,000 troops, plus armed police.
That Iraqi military also has tanks, airplanes, and helicopters.
But the Iraqi army is also a total mess, which explains why ISIS has had the success
it's had despite being outnumbered.
Take ISIS' victory in Mosul: 30,000 Iraqi troops ran from 800 ISIS fighters
-------- Those are 40:1 odds! Yet Iraqi troops ran because they simply didn't want to fight
and die for this government. There had been hundreds of desertions per month for
months prior to the events of June 10th. The escalation with ISIS is, of course, making it
worse.
