Isis Affects Us All Isis militants, for the past four weeks, have been terrorizing and mutilating the town of Kobani, taking control of nearly half of the town. Hundreds of decapitated corpses have been reported in Kobani. Kurdish defenders, in Kobani, ambushed Islamic State fighters and seemed to have mostly survived the battle. There is still no agreement on whether the US can use the air base in southern Turkey. The Incirlik air base is still being discussed, as well as a refugee center and perhaps a no-fly zone. Turkey has reportedly allowed the US to use their bases against Islamic State militants as well as coalition forces.
People devoted to Isis around the world are said to most likely attack people in Western Countries and the United States. Referring to what occurred in Kobani, Isis and followers try to take down a country, state by state. This leaves little hope for survival in any state or country Isis followers decide to attack. Isis’ reputation is one that is explained with great brutality and lack of remorse. If Isis attacks the states in America, America will be forced to go into defense against some extremely ruthless characters. “Isis came into the villages. They beheaded people as well as animals. They took animals and girls; they left nothing. Even animals don’t do what Isis are doing. They are doing these things and it is not acceptable” (Shahin, Belal. Kobani refugee).
The intensity of this battle on the Turkish border for the Syrian city is so strong that the US and other allies will have to contribute to the Islamic fighters’ downfall. If other countries get involved, some will be allies; however, it gives a chance for countries to take down other countries they are not in favor of. For example, Isis attacks America, and weakens America’s defenses, then this expresses an opportunity for a country, such as, North Korea to throw arms at America. This can happen with all the countries. Every country could have a reason to choose sides and not remain neutral, especially considering the profit of war. If Isis continues as it is, it could spark a new world war.
