Maybe this volatility ultimately leads to a better place. ISIS is al-Qaeda in Iraq.
In another case of Aceh in Indonesia, where the guerrilla forces have been fighting for 30 years, the GAM. ISIS wants to kill hundreds, thousands if they can.
Pence both more of a threat to my son than Isis and North Korea so while I was elated I got wearing fearful and that's why I another impetus to write the book was to warn our son
So it was a new form of copycat terrorism, very similar to the copycat or inspirational terrorism that we saw in previous years inspired by ISIS networks, where we also had one attack after another with similar elements. And the gamification elements were present in almost all of these far right terrorist attacks.
happens is they take up force. So ISIS was all about bringing that vision by force. Because the population isn't Muslim enough, we will take up arms and create an Islamic state by force.

It doesn't take very many psychopaths and nationalists and power-hungry politicians to tip a country into civil war. And ISIS wasn't trying to lure them in to their movement by showing beheading videos, because then you only get the psychopaths.

And so Russia bused in a special orchestra for this victory concert in the very same building, the Roman theater, that ISIS was doing its staged beheading. Russia is now doing its staged victory concert.
And so he engineered an attack like this, and then showed it to the media, and showed his own army coming in to save the inhabitants, And ISIS has again seen in the cultural heritage an opportunity to make money.
Maybe this volatility ultimately leads to a better place. on ISIS , which aired on MSNBC.
Terrorism works in terms of getting attention for what they want to do. What ISIS is doing gets them attention. It's not going to get them what they want.
Well, at the beginning of Leonardo's career, like other artists-- Giotto, Rafael-- they incorporated knots of antiquity into their paintings. The knot of Isis , found in hieroglyphics, always associated with a female goddess. Sacred meaning, the binding and releasing.
It's still bad enough, I think, for parents to send-- no one wants to send their child to a school that had just been hacked by ISIS , so it did create that fear on the psychological level. But there could also in the future of course be more severe hacks, hacking campaigns carried out by extremists that would go against critical infrastructure.
So the Yazidis are a Christian sect that ISIS believed were gypsies, and essentially devil worshippers. And so ISIS was persecuting them in northern Iraq. And they were just mass killing them.
And that takes an emotional connection. and in the ISIS caliphate.
And they acting on something completely opposite, this rough and rugged way. Move among the ISIS people, move among the extreme Muslims today, whether the Salifis in Brixton mosque or whether you go down to Hizb al-Nour in Alexandria or whether you go down and see them in I mean, I've met them, and I've seen them, and they have those same traits.

Hillary sold weapons to ISIS .
The overwhelming population of Syria is Sunni Arab, which is the conventional mainstream Arab grouping, largely a very tolerant kind of Islam completely opposite to ISIS , which is what has of course taken hold there. And ISIS , when ISIS appeared on the scene and took over Raqqa, their headquarters, which you see the big lake up there,
and that river is the Euphrates River running off into Iraq, Raqqa is the first town after that lake. And when ISIS , nearly three years ago now, it's worth remembering just how long ago that was. Three years ago, when ISIS took over Raqqa, everybody thought, including Assad himself, "Well, what does that matter?
