Recently this fear has be capitalized on by a group assuming the title of “The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria”, or better known by the acronym of “ISIS.” ISIS is a merciless schism derived from the well known terrorist group Al-Qaeda whose main goal is to tear down the current structure of middle eastern states in order construct a unified Islamic state exclusively consisting of muslims and only muslims, more specifically, Sunni Muslims (Chris Tognotti).
