Isis: Defining the Enemy

By Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism

Nobody seems to like ISIS. Yet, despite everyone being against ISIS, we are not winning the war against ISIS. One of the reasons is because it is not clear we understand the group very well. ISIS is a radical Islamic terrorist group. The White House doesn't really like to talk about this but we cannot defeat ISIS if we do not understand who they are. It is critical that we know what its goals are, how it seeks to achieve those goals. Even if the White House doesn't think ISIS is Islamic, ISIS does. ISIS explains its actions and justifies them through its interpretation of the Islamic law and Islamic writings. This philosophy is reflected in its daily actions and its deadly actions. According to ISIS ideals, it also thinks the roughly 200 million Shi'a around the world should also die. Same with the heads of state of every Muslim country that has elevated man-made law above Sharia law. What we need is a deeper understanding of what ISIS believes and to use this understanding to defeat ISIS and its philosophy.
