Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

Terrorists advocating Islamic extremism It is an international criminal organization . A group that is synonymous with notorious Islamist terrorist organizations along with Al Qaeda .

It is a Sunni Islamic armed terrorist group that occupies inland areas of Iraq and Syria , as well as parts of Afghanistan , Yemen , Mozambique , Niger , Somalia , and Mali , and is a rebel group that commits massacres of civilians, sexual crimes , and arson of residential areas .

It was originally an Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda , but it is a terrorist group that was born when some ultra-hard-line extremist forces of Al Qaeda came together under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to it as a “violent extremist group.” There are many terrorist groups around the world, but among them, it is the most brutal and persistent, and the most widely active criminal group internationally. Starting out as a terrorist group called One God and Jihad in 2003, it participated in the Syrian Civil War and the Iraqi Civil War . It is also a rebel group of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who declared the establishment of the Khalifa State on June 29, 2014, and is also a de facto unrecognized state . However, if you look inside , it is nothing more than a poorly integrated group of warlords , and its main members are Sunni Arabs and foreign jihadists who gathered here and there under the common goal of Islamic extremism .

They expanded their territory centered on the border areas of Iraq and Syria , declared themselves a nation, and committed numerous inhumane crimes over the years. It was a symbol of global Islamic extremist terrorism that continued throughout the 2010s , but due to its extreme chauvinism against allies, its level of religious extremism without tolerance, and various atrocities, it lost support and lost all 'official' territory in the late 2010s, weakening its power back to the level of an armed organization. It was a situation that was gradually appearing in Libya and Afghanistan , but in Libya , it collapsed after losing its strongholds, including Sirte, after being attacked by the Libyan government forces in 2016 .

Unlike established Islamic terrorist organizations, they call themselves an Islamic empire , or a 'nation', and their ideology argues that not only West Asia but also the entire world should follow only the Islamic order (Nizam Islami). In the 21st century , it is becoming a serious problem because they are literally trying to implement extreme ideas all over the world, reminiscent of what the Taliban did in the 1990s and 2000s . In the 21st century, almost all countries in the world, even sovereign countries in the Middle East, directly refuse to guarantee individual religious freedom, even if only formally, and are nothing more than a pseudo-religious group that forces people to follow only their own version of Islam . The international community defines them as a ‘terrorist group that follows Islamic extremism ’ rather than a nation. At a time when they were going around under the false name of 'nation', no country recognized them as an official nation.

The most influential leader was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi , or 'Abu Bakr of Baghdad', who was known as the Caliph .

The sentence written on the flag is the Shahada , an Islamic confession of faith . At the top of the black background is 'لا إله إلا الله' (lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, there is no other god but Allah ), and at the bottom in a white circle is 'محمد رسول الله'. (muhammadun rasūlu-llāh, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.) is written separately. IS claimed that the upper text was modeled after Muhammad's own handwriting and the lower text reproduced the shape of the seal known to have been used by Muhammad. However, it was revealed that both the letter and the seal on which the claim was based were in fact forgeries by later Westerners. The world is becoming a laughing stock. article summary

Perhaps because IS has made a big impression among Islamic terrorists and has become a kind of role model, there are sometimes organizations that fight under this flag even though they have little to do with IS. As IS has collectively granted branch positions and governorships to terrorist organizations in the Sahel region and Africa that have expressed their intention to join IS, the number of terrorist organizations that have nothing to do with IS but use the dark flag of IS has decreased significantly, but they still exist.

Their flag is the same as Al Shabaab 's symbol except for the specifications and font. The flags of Islamic fundamentalist groups can be distinguished because they tend to adopt black-and-white designs containing only letters, without the complex designs and symbols seen in national flags, in an effort to reject idolatry .[9]

ISIL's justification is the revival of the Arab-centered orthodox Caliphate state and the conquest of the world by Islam . They claim to be a nation and have a system similar to that of an unrecognized nation to some extent, but putting aside ethical issues, in reality, whether they are a nation is just what they claim. The famously rogue countries of all time, such as North Korea , Myanmar , and Afghanistan , actually have properly functioning heads of government.[10] Although it is internationally recognized as a country, ISIL is not recognized as such, and in reality, what it does is nothing more than a gang of marauders with territory and a powerful gang with military equipment. Although they are a group that is close to warlords in a positive light, they have committed all kinds of evil acts as warlords in the first place, so their good points are not even noticed.

They promote 'pan-Islamist Islam' as the state religion, but if you look closely, you cannot put 'anything' in front of Islam. Moreover, it is said that the basic tendency is a mixture of extreme Islamic fundamentalism, the Wahhab and Salaf, but in reality, it is neither. This is because, unlike the Wahhabis who insist on being faithful to the Qur'an, they fabricate the scriptures in their own way.

They are putting forward the absurd statement of 'comprehensive revival of the orthodox Islamic empire ' as a justification. Historically, after the Abbasid dynasty was invaded and destroyed by the Mongol Empire in 1258, the remnants of the Abbasid dynasty who went into exile in Egypt maintained the title of Khalifa, but when the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt collapsed due to the invasion of the Ottoman Empire in 1517, the Abbasids of Egypt The Khalifa also disappeared. There is no statement on whether the Islamic State views the sultans of the Ottoman Empire after Selim I as caliphs or usurpers.

In Shia, only Ali and his descendants can be crowned as the true Khalifa and are recognized as Khalifa. Sunnis argued that it did not matter if they were not of Muhammad's bloodline as long as they were members of the Quraysh clan and the Caliph elected by the Muslim community, and that it did not matter if they ascended the throne as Khalifa as long as they inherited the spirit of Muhammad. It became the subject of controversy due to the claim to be eligible to ascend to the Khalifa, and the Khalifa status was largely monopolized by Sunnis. Early modern Ottoman sultans concurrently served as caliphs. Although the Ottoman caliphs were also Sunni, they did not inherit the lineage of the Quraish clan, so the idea spread among Shia and Arabs that the Turkic caliphs were not the true caliphs.[11]

There are opposing opinions as to whether they are truly “ Islamic .” Although they claim to follow the tenets of Islam , many of the foreigners accepted by ISIL as terrorists know little about Islam and are often far from Islam, having a history of drinking and using drugs in the past. ISIL also does not reject the smuggling of pornography into Iraq, and is engaging in acts prohibited by Islam, such as destroying the Quran with a knife and planting bombs there ( # ) .[12] This opinion is provided as evidence to support it. For this reason , there is an opinion that for ISIL, Islam is merely a justification for its actions and a means to recruit members from 'hostile countries' . Not only the Western world, but also Muslims and Muslim leaders are condemning it as not only un-Islamic, but also anti-Islamic, such as the official announcement of the US President and the interview remarks of the British Prime Minister . However, it is difficult to deny that they are Islam, given that the majority of their members are Muslims, that they worship Allah as the only god, believe in the Quran , and recognize Muhammad as the final prophet, that they have also called variants such as the Taliban and Al Qaeda , which have been problematic in the past , as Islam, and above all, that their self-determined name is “Islamic State.” However, most of the victims of IS are Sunni Muslims, and although it looks like Islam on the outside, in reality, IS has been reinterpreted in a way that violates Islamic doctrine and exploits believers or has a negative impact on society, so it can be said to be an Islamic pseudo-religion .

They try to rationalize jihad and satisfy their own self-interest by forging information that is not even written in the Quran as if it were the truth. And while the Salafists basically treat Shia Muslims as heretics and are hostile towards them, they do not kill Sunni Muslims, but this group does not hesitate to attack or massacre Sunni Muslims when they rebel against them. Although they are pseudo-scholars, they actually mobilized scholars who specialized in religion and law.[13] They are justifying their inhumane acts and packaging them as jihad. However, their atrocities can never constitute jihad, even from an Islamic perspective. All of their atrocities, including terrorism, massacre, rape, kidnapping, torture, cannibalism, and tyranny, speak volumes about this.

Their thoughts and actions give absolute authority to pre-modern scriptures and show how far a pre-modern interpretation of them can go in an uncritical environment.[14]

For example, beheadings carried out in Islamic countries are quite inhumane because they are not formal capital punishment but are criminal acts carried out by terrorist groups based on pseudo-religious ideology. The guillotine was developed to relieve the suffering of the death row inmates who had to die in a very painful manner because their heads did not blow off at once, as well as the hardships of the idiots who executed them. Saudi Arabia , which still carries out beheading executions in modern times, allows condemned prisoners to take painkillers if they ask for them, with the intention of considering human rights. The executioners are not just idiots who gather around for executions, but are experts who have officially learned the method of beheading, and the swords used are also used to kill people. Modern and contemporary technology has been applied to make it easy to cut, and by using it for one-time use, it prevents mishaps due to deformation, ending the life of the condemned inmate with a single blow with as little pain as possible.

On the other hand, in the case of mass murder committed by ISIL, the victim's neck is slashed from the front with a small dagger . This is a modification of the Zabiha law of slaughtering animals in Islamic law and applied to humans, and contains the meaning of ‘a shameful death of being killed like an animal being slaughtered.’[15] Of course, the victim's pain is also incomparably greater than in the case above. Moreover, since it is not a death penalty officially executed by the state, but a murder committed by a terrorist group, it is an unforgivable crime.[16]

Still, one positive impact these guys left behind is that they left a big lesson to Arab countries about how dangerous extremism is. In fact, Arab countries are changing little by little, albeit slightly. Even among Arab countries, Saudi Arabia, which is criticized as a loser, is changing. In the past, the Saudi government got away with inciting terrorism and massacres of non-Muslims as long as it did not overtly destroy the monarchy, but now, when it goes beyond simple expressions of opinion and actively moves, it is arrested without any hesitation. This proves how terrible this incident was. Even fundamentalist jihadist organizations such as the al-Nusra Front changed their name to Hayat Tahrir al -Sham (Levant Liberation Organization) after seeing the miserable state of IS and became a more nationalist and moderate force toward the West.[17]

According to the British Daily Mail and Turkish media, the self-proclaimed 'currency' is Khalifa The example of the gold dinar and silver dirham coins issued by Uthman was given, and it is said that they are actually circulated as gold and silver . The weight of the dinar issued by Khalifa Usman is 4.3 grams, and the weight of the dirham is 3 grams, so according to the international precious metals price, 1 dinar is worth 159.1 dollars, and 1 dirham is equal to 1.5 dollars. In June 2015, the actual design was released. There are 2 types of gold coins, 3 types of silver coins, and 2 types of copper coins.

The official name is Islamic State (الدولة الإسلامية), but in Korea it is usually abbreviated as IS. It may be confused with the Islamic State, which generally refers to a country that believes in Islam , and the reason they call themselves an Islamic State is because they think of themselves as a 'state', so they often call it the 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant', a name that was used for a while to make an accurate distinction. It is usually abbreviated as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) or IS (Islamic State).

Unlike its rise in Iraq, its actual center during its heyday was in the Raqqa region of Syria, its self-proclaimed capital. For this reason, it is also called ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Sham) by adding the word 'Sham' to refer to the Syrian region.[18] . Of course, Mosul, Iraq's major city, was also one of their key strongholds.

In one of the two English names, ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), 'Levant' is the same word as 'Al-Sham' in Arabic. It means Syria + Jordan + Lebanon , etc., and refers to the entire region. ISIL is also the government of the United States and the Republic of Korea.[20] , which is also the English name used by the Japanese government .

In addition to #political reasons, ISIS is spelled the same as Isis, which is used as a female name in the West. Al Jazeera also uses ISIL.

Interestingly, one of the abbreviations for IS , which calls for Islamic extremism, overlaps with the name of a polytheistic goddess ( Isis ). korea The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also uses 'ISIL' in various press releases, considering the US government 's position first. # For Japan, see below. However, regardless of the US government's position, the US political world and media in general prefer the expression ISIS , and in fact, not only Donald Trump , who was elected as the 45th president , but even Hillary Clinton , who served as Secretary of State in the Barack Obama administration , used it in speeches and interviews. I used that term.

Even after the caliphate declaration , there are quite a few cases where it is used as ' ISIL ' or ' ISIS ' by convention, centering on the Western media . Although the Korean media mainly refers to IS, Western media often refer to it as ISIL or ISIS due to the possibility of confusion with a country whose state religion is Islam or with other abbreviations for IS . Of course, there are not a few cases where it is marked as 'Islamic State'. This is one of the reasons why in many cases unknown coded text pops up when you run a translator on a foreign news article. This is because in English IS is a form of the verb Be used to describe nouns and adjectives , so the translator accepts it as this.

However, some say it is not Islamic[21] It is problematic to call this group, which is not a country in the normal sense, IS as they claim, and the argument for calling it a different name is gradually gaining strength. In fact, Ban Ki-moon The UN Secretary-General also proposed the term 'UINS (Un-Islamic Non-State)', which means neither Islam nor a state . However, this name is not actually used by anyone other than Ban Ki-moon himself, who is currently the proponent.

In the Arab world, the word 'Daʿesh (داعش)' is mainly used. Because the romanization of Arabic is not unified, it is sometimes written as Daʿish. Basically, it is an abbreviation of the initials of the Arabic word for ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), but similar words, which appear to be a kind of mondegrin , have a meaning close to a derogatory term and are also used in a derogatory sense. There are various theories about this, and representative examples include 'Daʿes (دعس)', meaning 'one who tramples', and 'Dāhis wa'l-Ghabrā (داحس والغبراء)', meaning 'criminal of faith'.

In addition to this , it has various bad meanings such as ‘seeds of discord’ and ‘ chaos ’. See here and here for more details . To be more specific, it is the same principle as writing the first two syllables of National Socialism 's Nationalsozialismus phonetically and calling it Nazi, and using it as an insult. Naturally, ISIL reacts so sensitively that anyone who mentions them with this word will have their tongue cut out or caned 80 times.

The French government decided to abandon the term 'Islamic State' and officially call it 'Daesh'. The most important reason for changing the name appears to be to deny legitimacy by deleting 'Islam' and 'nation' from the official name.

In Egypt , no Islamic leadership body is known as the "Islamic State" ( QSIS) ( Al-Qaeda Separatists in Iraq and Syria . This is not wrong, given that the mother was a Zarqawi warlord affiliated with Al Qaeda.

In Türkiye , it was called by its previous name, IŞİD (Irak Şam İslam Devleti), rather than the Islamic State (İD), but on January 7, 2015, it was officially decided to change it to 'Deaş', taking the Arabic word for it . President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also previously used the derogatory term Deaş. However, looking at the comments on the article linked above, it seems that some Turkic people are dissatisfied and say, “Why should we leave the good Turkic language behind and use Arabic?” Perhaps because of this, the IŞİD (İsht) notation also survived, and as of 2022, IŞİD and Deaş notation are used interchangeably.

In Japan , they have mainly been referred to as 'Islamic countries', but in reality, they received protests from Islamic countries and Turkiye , and accordingly, NHK changed their name to 'Isuramikkusutēto (Isuramikkusutēto)', i.e. It was changed to read 'Islamic State' entirely in English. # However, the Japanese notation was only used by NHK and was ambiguous, not the official position of the Japanese government . Following the Japanese hostage killings that occurred in early February 2015, Japan began referring to ISIL as the U.S. government did. It is unclear whether Asahi TV, Yomiuri, etc. also use this name.

Within ISIL, it is very important to call their name IS, and they are sensitive about it. According to a resident of Mosul, a city ruled by ISIL, when calling the group Daesh or even ISIS, their tongues were torn out with a knife, and they were not allowed to call anything other than the 'Islamic State'.

It is usually referred to as IS in Korean official documents and media. Calling it IS does not in any way recognize them as an official nation, but is only used idiomatically as there is no established appropriate expression at the National Institute of the Korean Language or national institutions.

And since the international community, including Korea , does not recognize this terrorist group as a true state, there is no way to consider an appropriate translation, such as a proper state. The perception in Korea is already related to the kidnapping of Kim Sun -il by the predecessor of ISIS, Monotheism and Jihad, so there is no need to say anything more.

In April 2013, IS broke out in the Syrian-Iraqi border area and Idlib Province, and occupied the territory of Syrian rebels and Iraq until February 2014, after which it gradually occupied territory of the Syrian government forces and Kurdish forces.

As noted in several sections, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant occupied more than half of Syria-Iraq between 2014 and 2015. In addition, it attempted to expand its power throughout the Islamic world by establishing branches in several countries and Islamic countries, and with continued support from fanatical Sunni Muslims in various regions, it drove a frenzy of Islamic extremism/terrorism, causing fear throughout the world.

However, starting in 2016, the international community's cooperation against anti-Islamic extremism and the continuous airstrikes of the U.S. and Russian forces finally began to have an effect. In August of the same year, the Turkic Army intervened in the fight to defeat IS, and the Syrian government forces, the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the Iraqi government forces regained their power, and their continuous joint attacks continued, slowly beginning to decline .

The land that IS has been lost from the time when the anti -IS group's response is in full swing, Tikrit in April 2015 , the October 2015 Wiji , November 2015 Sinzar , the Ramadi in December 2015 , the June 2016 Faluza , and the March 2017 Palmira . In particular, since the loss of Mosul in July 2017, the weakening of the forces has rapidly accelerated. #

According to an announcement by the U.S. State Department in June 2015, 10,000 IS fighters were killed in the nine months since airstrikes began. #

In July 2017 , Mosul fell , and in October 2017 , all major city bases were lost, including the fall of Raqqa , the self-proclaimed capital, and small bases in Libya, including Derna and Sirte , also disappeared when indigenous Libyan warlords, unable to withstand them, revolted. Marawi in the Philippines , which was considered a major base in Southeast Asia, also fell as a result of the Battle of Marawi . Tal Afar and Hawija , which were expected to be major battlegrounds, fell after 13 and 18 days, respectively. Interestingly enough, Mayadin, which was expected to become the new capital after the fall of Raqqa, was already occupied just two days before the fall of Raqqa, and Al Qa'im, which actually served as the capital after the fall of Raqqa, fell just one day . In the end, after IS's continued lackadaisical actions and reckless actions , Deir ez-Zor, known as the Leningrad of the 21st century , fell after a fierce battle in the second half of 2017 .

In December 2017, after losing almost all occupied territories in Iraq, it was reduced to the level of a minor warlord in eastern Syria, and also lost the Yarmouk camp, which had control areas, and the occupied areas of the Syrian capital and parts of the south. #

In 2019, all major strongholds and even occupied areas in the eastern desert of Syria disappeared, leaving only one area occupied by Baghuz on the border between Deir ez -Zor in eastern Syria and Iraq. At the end of March, most of the Baguz area was also recaptured, and dozens of remaining members of the organization struggled in a desperate manner, trapped in a very narrow encirclement near the river.

On March 23, 2019, as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) completely occupied the city of Baguz, IS as a 'true state' was completely annihilated, leaving only point-organized remnants.

The leader of IS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was in hiding like the former leader of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden , but on October 27, 2019 at around 10:20 pm Korean time, US President Donald Trump announced that the US special forces operation would His death was officially announced.

But when it ends here, it is not a terrorist organization. Around 1 am on November 1, Korea time, for the first time, IS acknowledged the death of its leader and appointed a new successor. The US State Department announced that the new leader's name was 'Abu Ibrahim al-Hasim al-Quraish', but later acknowledged that it was unconfirmed information and reiterated that Amir Mohammed Abdul Rahman al-Mauli Lanza was the new leader of IS . At the same time, a $5 million bounty was put up for information to capture him alive. However, it was later revealed that al-Quraish and al-Mawli were the same person .

On February 3, 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that U.S. special forces had killed Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurashi, the alleged new IS leader, in northwest Syria, and that there were no U.S. casualties.

Even after the defeat in Iraq and Syria, several African countries, including Nigeria , Afghanistan , Pakistan , Indonesia , and Egypt Sinai Peninsula , Libya , Algeria , Iran , India , Somalia , Azerbaijan , remote areas of the Philippines and even near the Atlas Mountains in Morocco , France , Belgium and Lebanon , the slums of Turkicye , Russia Since many organizations that have pledged allegiance to IS and have been recognized as 'branch' remain even in the underdeveloped areas of the North Caucasus Federal District , IS as a general organization rather than a large state-type organization has not completely disappeared.

There are still cell organizations (underground organizations) operating within Syria and Iraq that have pledged allegiance to ISIS, and of course, they are being arrested or killed by the local military and police wherever they are caught. However, on the one hand, there are cases in Africa where they are growing in power as warlords and are winning against the Egyptian rear troops, the Nigerian army , the Democratic Republic of Congo army and warlords, and on the other hand, foreign IS members who returned to their home countries alive and pledged complete loyalty are growing in power as a branch organization in their home countries, making it difficult to predict the outlook.

In the Sinai Peninsula , activities such as periodically executing Egyptian military police and residents, occupying villages, and setting up disguised checkpoints are ongoing. However, attacks against Israel are few and far between.

The Mali -based Greater Sahara Islamic State contributed to worsening the situation in Mali , Niger , and Burkina Faso by waging war with al-Qaeda and Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam Walmuslimin in the Sahel civil war .

In the case of Imarat Caucasus, a Russian IS force, it was active to some extent in the beginning, but due to the merciless suppression of the Russian military and police, rather than carrying out terrorism, it was discovered in advance and the organization was disbanded or its leader was killed, leaving the leadership position officially vacant, and no news of any official activity has been heard since 2016.

There have also been activities of IS, including Dokumazla, in Turkiye, close to the Iraq-Syria border , and they are carrying out bombings and assassinations, mostly targeting Kurds and left-wing figures. They even released a propaganda video announcing that the branch was established in an overtly armed state. # However, it has been inactive since 2017.

The Pentagon released a report saying IS forces in Iraq and Syria are recovering .

Additionally, the issue of handling prisoners is also causing conflict between Europe and the United States . The United States argues that European participants should be punished in their home countries based on the experience of mujahideen who played an active role in the Soviet-Afghan war and returned to their homeland and became the nucleus of an Islamic militant group. However, Europe is opposed, saying that it will never be possible, and imprisoned in Syria and other places. It is in a state. # According to the law, since they have a single nationality, it is correct to handle them in their home country, but considering the crimes they committed, it is completely unacceptable, and the death penalty cannot be reinstated.

Also, they executed the leader who prevented them from going on a rampage, so they can go on a rampage at any time. If there is a leader, as much as they follow the leader's orders, they will not commit terrorism without the leader's orders, or even if they try to commit terrorism, they may stop it according to the leader's orders. However, if there is no leader who can control this, especially those who have not been able to commit terrorism due to the absence of the leader's orders or who were restrained by the leader's control even if they tried to commit terrorism, can run rampant at any time.

From October 9, 2019, the Turkic Army advanced into northeastern Syria and clashed with the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), destroying the Qamishli and Al-Hasakah districts controlled by the Kurdish forces. It is said that IS prisoners escaped in large numbers. #

In March 2021, a new execution video was uploaded by an organization made up of the remaining members. It looked like a prisoner was running in the desert carrying heavy military equipment, but in fact, a bomb was secretly hidden inside the military equipment, and the prisoner ran for about 30 seconds with a bag on his back and then the bag exploded, killing him. Do not search because the corpse is split in half and all internal organs are sticking out.

Meanwhile, in northern Mozambique in East Africa, Islamic rebels linked to the Central African branch of IS began to rise in 2017 , and from 2020, some cities in Cabo Delgado Province, which has a large Muslim population , fell into their hands and thousands of people died. It developed into a serious situation. See Cabo Delgado Conflict .

In August 2021, the Hamid Karzai International Airport bombing was committed by the Afghan branch of IS called ISKP . As a result of the large-scale evacuation operation following the Taliban's occupation of Afghanistan, a suicide bombing occurred at the airport gate where a huge number of refugees and U.S. military units were crowded, resulting in the worst disaster, killing about 300 people and nearly 30 U.S. soldiers.

During Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, no one's side intervened, but he said that Western countries, including Ukraine , and Russia were crusaders against crusaders, and that he hoped that the West and Russia would fall together due to complete destruction . #

On January 3, 2024, the Kerman bombing occurred in Iran. More than 100 people were killed, and at the time the incident occurred, Iran blamed Israel, but soon after, ISIL announced that it had carried out an attack as a warning to Sunnis who were trying to join hands with Shiites.

On March 22, 2024, Chechen Muslim criminals carried out a terrorist attack at a concert hall in Moscow, killing hundreds of citizens indiscriminately, and ISKP claimed that they were also behind this incident.

It was mainly active in the Levant, including Iraq and Syria , as a base, and also accepted followers internationally, including Yemen , Egypt ( Sinai Peninsula ), Palestine (Sheikh Omar Hadid Brigades), Nigeria ( Boko Haram ), Mozambique , (Ansar al-Sunna) Bangladesh , Pakistan , and Saudi Arabia.[23] , Algeria[24] , Tunisia[25] , Morocco , Afghanistan[26] , Libya[27] , Niger , Russia[28] , Somalia[29] , Philippines[30] , France , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Belgium , Iran , Turkye[31] There have been terrorist activities and attacks by IS and its affiliated terrorist groups. Please refer to the link for the external activities of IS's overseas branches. They are all officially approved branches and are spread out in more countries than you might think.

Organizations that have been destroyed or disappeared, etc. are †.

(Arranged from the top in order of death or death.)
Currently, three have been captured and most of the others have died in the bombing.

As an Islamic empire, they claimed to be a nation with territory , people , and sovereignty , but no country recognized them as a nation.

When they controlled northern Iraq and eastern Syria, as well as parts of the Sinai Peninsula and Libya, they advertised themselves as a caliphate, but they were not recognized by the Republic of Korea or the United Nations. All five permanent members of the Security Council, as well as Syria and Iraq , which are in conflict with them , as well as other Islamic religious countries such as Saudi Arabia , Jordan , United Arab Emirates , Kuwait , Morocco , Tunisia , Algeria , and Qatar , did not consider ISIL a country at all, and even now that they have lost all of their territory, they are treated as an international criminal organization rather than an officially recognized group. At the time when they were calling themselves countries, there was not a single official country with which they had formal diplomatic relations, and when ISIS saw the countries of the world, they referred to them as a "crusader alliance" oppressing them and turned all the people living in those countries into enemies, making no effort to establish normal diplomacy.

ISIS only cried out for Sharia or death (which they distorted) , and committed indiscriminate terrorism and massacres while rejecting all principles and coexistence with other religions . Non-Sunni sects such as Shia, Zaydites, and Alawites are unconditionally dismissed as 'heretics' and massacred, and even though they are nominally Sunnis, they regard all but the IS members and groups that have pledged loyalty to them as enemies and kill them unconditionally . This is the epitome of the double standard . Anyone who is not a Salafist who has pledged allegiance to IS will be attacked unconditionally. In fact, there is a record of frequently clashing with well-known extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban , and releasing numerous propaganda materials on YouTube capturing and executing them. In other words, they are wreaking havoc on not only non-Muslims but also extremist Muslims.

Not only did it turn all five permanent members of the UN Security Council ( Russia , the United States , Britain , China , and France ) into enemies for the first time since the Axis powers in World War II , but it also turned against Israel , Hamas , Hezbollah , Houthis , Saudi Arabia , the United Arab Emirates , Iraq , and Iran , which are traditional enemies in the Middle East, and Eastern Christians, Shiites, and Kurds, who had never been on good terms in the region, joined hands. In Ba'athist Syria, which was divided by the Syrian Civil War, almost all armed groups and government forces , except for the pro-ISIS faction, temporarily banded together to attack ISIS first.[35]

Even Pope Francis, a recognized figure, acknowledged that the use of force was necessary, and the Dalai Lama , also a recognized figure, criticized them .

In the early days, the Arab Sunni civilian sector implicitly supported the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The leaders of each country knew that this group was crazy and were looking for a way to drive it out, but the people had different thoughts. That's because he had memories of being under the control of the United States, so he thinks the inflow of foreign powers is a bad thing. In addition, it succeeded in suppressing the looting and senseless violence of its members to some extent, differentiating itself from other jihadist rebels who had no different tendencies but caused various nuisances, and showed very intelligent actions such as introducing the Ottoman Empire-style Wilayat (state) system and attracting former Ba'ath Party officials with extensive administrative experience to build an efficient administrative system of its own, even though it was a medieval Islamic theocratic system, providing Sunni Muslims with an alternative to the governments of Iraq and Syria. rose rapidly.

However, in February 2015, they released a video of the heretical acts of massacre they committed, shocking even the Sunni Muslims who supported them, and kicked away public opinion. Even the arms that were bent inward were bent outward. In the end, it turned the entire world, except solidarity and cooperation organizations and their followers, into enemies. Moreover, they even attempted to terrorize Mecca , which can be said to be Islam's holiest site, on the grounds that it was controlled by Saudi Arabia, a 'member of the Crusader Alliance', so all Muslims were bound to be enraged.

Moreover, maintaining the orderly discipline of the early days became meaningless as they entered the chaotic second half of the period, running press gangs and looting combat materials and cultural assets. Above all, after ISIS also targeted innocent Muslims as targets of terrorism and showed their true colors and committed all kinds of atrocities in the occupied territories, public opinion disappeared. Because civil order was maintained through excessive violence, the support of the residents of the occupied areas was not sincere but more of a struggle to survive.

Al-Qaeda , famous for being the culprit of the 9/11 terrorist attacks , initially had a friendly relationship, including supporting the Al-Nusra Front in Syria , but starting in 2013, there was a split over the issue of support for the Al-Nusra Front, and in 2014, when al-Baghdadi refused Ayman al-Zawahiri 's order to 'stop supporting the Al-Nusra Front and return to Iraq', he severed all relations in February, and ISIS took over in June of that year. With the unilateral declaration of a caliphate, the relationship ultimately became hostile.[36] After the split, Al Qaeda placed a $25 million bounty on Caliph Ibrahim's head.

At the time, there were many people in the Islamic world who supported Al Qaeda 's ideals due to their antipathy toward the United States and Israel , so there could be some room for disagreement with Al Qaeda, and since ISIS also started out as an Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda , there was room for it to be defended by Al Qaeda supporters. However, unlike Al Qaeda, this group committed several heretical acts that were blasphemous even from an Islamic perspective, so they could not even be defended in that regard. There is no room to look favorably on anything like this. The Taliban also hates them and has clashed with them several times, and continues to fight even after the Afghan Taliban offensive in 2021 .

It had an alliance with the former Ba'ath Party forces in Iraq , including the Naqshbandi Knights , but split due to differences in orientation and ideology in 2015.

In the end, ISIS collapsed without proper help or reinforcements due to the Islamic extremism and chauvinism it advocated, and returned to being an armed organization. Although minor organizations such as Huras al-Din, an al-Qaeda-affiliated group , provided support such as guarding al-Baghdadi, they were not of much help and ended up dying along with the U.S. military's suppression operation. Still, one positive impact they left behind is that Muslims have come to realize the consequences of extremism and fundamentalism and why dialogue and compromise are necessary .

Since it is a terrorist organization that gained notoriety worldwide in the mid-to-late 2010s, and its image in the Islamic world is the worst, numerous conspiracy theories have been created about various groups related to them and about IS itself. Of course, there is currently no conclusive evidence for either conspiracy theory.

The places controlled by IS are more dangerous than Somalia and Yemen . The reason Yemen and Somalia are so bad is because warlords and robbers kidnap people and take them hostage with the aim of plundering, but at least hostage taking for money does not mean killing hostages carelessly. If it is a hostage taking for money, at the very least, unless the hostage resists, violence that could endanger the life of the hostage is not used arbitrarily, and if the hostage attempts to commit suicide, the hostage is stopped. However, IS does not hesitate to kill kidnapped people to boast about its religious fanaticism. Once again, if you are kidnapped by these pirates, the pirates will see you as a hostage who must be kept alive for ransom , but IS will see you as an infidel or atheist who must set an example by killing you .




As you can see from the photo above, the airspace of Iraq and Syria is empty except for flights to and from Iraq and Syria, and Hell Gate has been opened in the airspace of western Iran and northern waters of Bahrain. There are planes that pass through Saudi Arabia, but even if they don't land in Saudi Arabia, there are various restrictions on serving alcohol while passing through Saudi Arabia, so except for American airlines, they don't fly there often. And even for planes whose destination is Iraq, it is rare for them to fly directly across it.

Passing by air routes that do not land in ISIL areas are not subject to punishment as they do not arrive in that country. However, I don't know if it's because the first stage freedom is not recognized or it's because of safety issues.[38] Flights going up to Europe via Iraq-Syria avoid this area and take routes to western Iran and eastern Turkey to Europe.[39] In particular, when flights departing from Dubai go straight to Europe, they are supposed to go through Iraq-Syria, but they do not go there, but turn slightly east and detour to Iran.

As an extreme case, Emirates ' Dubai ↔ Athens route (EK105/106) has the shortest distance to go to Athens via Iraq-Syria. Most of the aircraft that pass through the airspace of Iraq and Syria are Iraqi/Syrian domestic flights and flights with destinations in these countries .

For reference, this area corresponds to ancient Mesopotamia , which is like the cradle of Western civilization . So, although there are a huge number of relics in Iraq and Syria , many of them were destroyed by war or by ISIS.[40] Some were smuggled to other countries along with crude oil to make money. For this reason, the South Korean government currently maintains a ban on the import of Iraqi art, collectibles, and antiques that are suspected of being stolen.[41]

Even if you have dreams of becoming an IS member or a terrorist, it is best not to set foot here or even think about going here. In the normal case, even if you go there, you will be reduced to a bullet-proof corpse or a terrorist with a suicide bomb vest and end your life in vain. If you dream of becoming a jihadist and are disappointed by a vision like the one mentioned above, there is no way or way to return. Even if you manage to return safely alive, you will be punished under the passport law of the Republic of Korea for participating in a travel-banned country. If you attempt to desert, you will be arrested and brutally executed, not as a deserter, but as a spy who came in with the intention from the beginning. These people never call it desertion. This is because committing an act of desertion means having a change of heart or being scared. So, when a deserter is executed, it is said that a spy was executed, not that he was executed for desertion. Sometimes these guys upload videos of executions, claiming they are French spies or Russian spies, but these are not actually spies from that country, but deserters of that country. If you want to risk your life to become a jihadist, it is much better to participate in jihad against IS and contribute to world peace.

Their joining the jihad front is a shortcut to dragging their lives to a complete end, and the danger will be much more than North Korea , which is much more than to do gambling , drugs , bonds , and guarantees at once . At the same time, if you are not worth it in North and North Korea, it will be repatriated as it is[42] This is literally beheaded, and the process of being tortured and killed is broadcast live. Just with them does not improve life at all, and there is little possible to come back alive.

In fact, there was an incident in Korea in 2015 in which a participant was identified . The participant in question, 'Kim', contacted IS members through Surespot and, with their help, crossed the Turkic-Syrian border and entered Syria . According to a hotel employee in Kilis, near the border, "Kim left without eating breakfast, and when he left on the morning of the 10th, he wore a white mask and carried a backpack. He probably went to Syria with a friend named Hassan to join IS . " And on January 20th, it was reported that this boy wrote on Twitter that he supports IS because he hates feminists. The IS Foreign Independent Company, to which Kim is known to belong, was hit by an airstrike by the U.S. and Jordanian forces on September 23, about eight months after he joined, and it was confirmed that many of its members were killed. Kim also became unknown, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

It was claimed that even before Kim, there were Koreans among the members of the organization. If, rather than being caught and murdered while visiting a nearby border area (either voluntarily or involuntarily), the person went there from the beginning to participate as a jihadist, it is possible. Even in non-Islamic Western countries, those who have come forward as jihadists are becoming a problem, but there is no guarantee that they would not have come forward just because they are Korean.

In Japan, as in the case of the kidnapping of Haruna Yukawa by the Islamic State, there are reports of people being kidnapped while staying in areas where ISIL has influence, or even trying to voluntarily join the Islamic State ( see ).

Summary of legal provisions that can be applied simply by joining: the Act on the Punishment of Transfer Organizations , Prior Crimes , Treasury Crimes, Violent Acts , etc. , Passport Act , National Security Act , Anti-Terrorism Act , Organized Criminal Organizations , etc.

As explained earlier, joining the IS is a serious sin , and even if you survive and return to Korea safely , it is best to be socially buried or have a red label attached to your life . This is the same wherever you go. Other countries are no exception.

It is unclear what crimes foreigners with a history of participating in IS can be deported or punished for entering South Korea. It may seem like baseless discrimination against foreigners, but considering that terrorists succeed in escaping or entering the country for the purpose of follow-up terrorism without any sanctions, this is a serious problem. It is not for nothing that the West refuses to return home to its jihadists. Of course, there are ways to help people rehabilitate by accepting and managing people who have returned from jihad, as in Denmark, but this only applies when, as mentioned, they are not a walking national security threat.

You could also be charged with murder. First of all, killing someone during a war may not be considered murder not only in the Korean military but also in the case of Koreans serving in the military of other countries. However, it seems unlikely that serving IS would become so illegal. However , it is difficult to identify the individual who killed someone unless they were directly involved in the beheading video.

Since IS is a terrorist group that denies all countries in the world from its own ideology, it can be seen as an enemy group that violates Articles 1 and 2 of the National Security Law . IS kindly specified South Korea as one of the major enemies of the US-led Crusade Alliance for South Korea . As a result, IS is an enemy group in terms of the international situation, so it could become an enemy group if the court regulates it. Nevertheless, apart from theory, in practice, the National Security Law is clearly a law targeting North Korea ,[43] Considering that it is a law that is continuously discussed for abolition due to many legal criticisms, the possibility of creating such a legislative precedent is slim.

Rather, if there is a criminal law provision in Korean law that punishes the crime of forming or participating in an 'international criminal group' by applying legal principles similar to treason and foreign exchange crimes , we should discuss the possibility of punishing it in that way. Therefore, President Obama is also urging the United Nations to enact international law to punish those who travel for the purpose of joining terrorist groups .

If it is impossible to apply the National Security Act, prior crimes, and subsequent crimes, then only the laws on punishment for acts of violence (i.e., organized crime ) can be applied to people who should be treated as indisputable terrorists in the interpretation of Korean law.[44] Originally, this law was intended to prevent domestic organized crime groups such as the XX faction , but even if this law were applied, it would be seen as putting world-class terrorist organizations on the same level as neighborhood gangsters . This means that Korean law is lax. Although it is a foreign organization that cannot identify victims of murders, etc., the punishability argument is that it is possible to apply the Korean Act on Violent Harassment, which allows punishment for mere membership in the organization. There may be legal controversy, but first of all, the prosecution will 100% file a complaint requesting punishment under the law of violent conduct at the indictment stage. If that is not possible, you may be treated as a simple passport law violator and receive only relatively minor punishment. This does not mean that you can live without drawing a red line in your life. It is much better to live with a red label than to be used as a disposable item for their nonsense jihad .

The reason why punishment is so difficult is because the criminal law of the Republic of Korea is outdated and outdated. This is because it hardly stipulates punishment for crimes that threaten the common security of humanity beyond crimes committed within Korea or against Koreans.

Of course, this is a story about when you return to Korea, and if you are caught in Iraq or Syria, it would be better to choose death . Of course, it's not as bad as IS, but it's basic to get beaten up in a fun way. If you are captured by a disciplined militia such as government forces or the Peshmerga , or at least by a group that does not enjoy killing people, there is a chance that you will survive as a prisoner, but there is no guarantee that all militias are disciplined or that the commander is a man who is not a man. Please keep in mind that there is no one in the middle of the desert and no one is responsible for your life and right to survive.

And on December 15, 2014, an incident occurred in Australia where a follower of Islamic extremism took a hostage inside a cafe in downtown Sydney and a Korean citizen was captured and escaped.[45] On January 10, 2015, a Korean teenager crossed the Syrian border and joined IS . In the first place, the predecessor group of this group, One God and the Holy War, massacred Mr. Kim Sun- il, and later on, two people who tried to join IS along with Kim were banned from leaving the country, and a foreigner who followed IS was caught trying to bring explosives into the country. Intelligence was obtained that an IS-linked organization was plotting a terrorist attack on COEX . As of September 2015, it seems clear that IS is planning an attack by including South Korea in its U.S.-led crusade alliance , effectively classifying South Korea as a hostile country, and public opinion calls for not only punishing those involved but also enacting related laws to prepare for the situation. It's gaining strength. In November 2015, jihadists entered Korea.[46] A situation in which Korea cannot be completely reassured is also beginning to occur.

Once again, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. If you want to do jihad, doing jihad by helping your neighbors in the country you live in is immeasurably better for your mental health than participating in this nonsense jihad. In fact, Islamic law ( Shariah ) and the Quran also teach this.[47]

After the enactment of the Anti-Terrorism Act, loopholes and shortcomings in Korean law were supplemented to some extent. As a representative example, provisions were enacted to punish 'nationals who participate in foreign terrorist groups', and by punishing sponsors and leaders, etc., those who have committed acts related to terrorism are broadly subject to punishment.

In addition, the Act stipulates that 'it is in accordance with the provisions of this Act' to be applied prior to the existing Criminal Act, various special laws, and the National Security Act.

In addition, of course, ISIL itself is subject to sanctions by the U.S. Treasury , Chinese, and Russian governments, so if you participate in it, you may be subject to sanctions from the U.S., China, etc., which may result in future bans on entry to the U.S., China, and other disadvantages such as making domestic and international financial transactions difficult or impossible.[48]

At one point, when you searched for Islamic State on Google Maps, the Pentagon and the White House somehow came up. It has now been corrected.

A headcam video of a squad of soldiers, including one of them named Abu Hazar, fighting in a battle was released through an internet broadcast , and it became a hot topic because it showed an absurdly ragtag group . For more information, please refer to the relevant article.

They may not seem like people worth worrying about, but around December 2015, an unidentified Christian group calling itself CS (Christian State), named after IS, suddenly appeared in Europe and sent a threatening letter threatening to kill all Muslims .

It's still unclear what the organization CS is doing, or even if it really exists before that. If you read the article, you may be thinking, "What are these second-year middle school patients lol?" But it's not something worth saying for sure. Because suspects from the Paris attacks in November visited the Molenbeek Muslim community in Belgium , which received threatening letters , Molenbeek is already the most unsafe place among European Muslims, who are already in an unstable position after the Paris terrorist attacks.

Because of the absurd name of a Christian nation , you may think "Isn't it just a joke ?" Of course, CS is a strange name anyway, so if there is an actual CS, it seems to be a group of second graders. Or, as an antithesis to the Nation of Islam, a name chosen deliberately to sarcastically.

In May 2015, claims were raised that climate change contributed to the spread of IS. View summary of related papers. The Syrian region, called the "Fertile Crescent", has developed agriculture since ancient times and Mesopotamia, one of the world's four major civilizations , was developed, but a drought lasted from 2006 to 2011, and ISIL was created in the process. will be. In addition, all developed countries emit greenhouse gases, but climate change is seen in countries where the reduction effect is insignificant because they do not emit greenhouse gases themselves . receiving insults from This is the core content of the 5th report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) prepared by scientists from all over the world in 2014. The CO2 Reduction Commitment (INCD), which will be implemented from then on, will be dealt with in earnest.

A textbook created by IS to teach English to the children of its members was discovered, and the contents are shocking and terrifying. From the beginning, brainwashing words such as gun , bomb , and jihad are explicitly mentioned, and numerous illustrations of AK-47s are shown. All women were depicted wearing burkas. #

Mohamed Ahmed (40), a Somali- American living in Minneapolis, Minnesota , is producing the educational animation 'Average Mohamed', which directly contradicts ISIL's ideology . # This is a story in which Average Muhammad, a character literally conceived as an ordinary Muslim, refutes IS's propaganda in a short, bold, point-by-point manner. Many Somalis live in Minneapolis, and over the past six years since 2006, nearly 30 Somali-Americans from Minneapolis have traveled to Africa to join the terrorist group Al-Shabab. Recently, IS has also been trying to reach children and teenagers in the area, so he created this animation in his spare time, even dubbing it, to prevent children and teenagers from being influenced by Islamic extremism. There are English, Somali, and Swahili versions. The animation was shown in schools in Minneapolis, and the Telegraph reported that it was ' more effective than any government-led campaign '.

"Ramzi" (pseudonym), a French journalist in his twenties, infiltrated IS and covered it for six months.

Although they are different in many ways, some say that they resemble the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom due to the fact that they are a country founded on the foundation of a religion that promotes strange doctrines , the Yellow Turbans due to their similarity to rebels, and the Boxer Rebellion due to the fact that they promote ethnocentrism. .

The executives are as if they were dead the moment they streamed, because they were removed by the US Army's JDAM guided bomb. #

They even committed terrorism against themselves with suicide bombs they made. On February 13, 2021, a terrorist built a suicide bomb vehicle with the intention of blowing up a local security checkpoint and placed a detonator on the horn so that the bomb would explode when the horn was sounded. The terrorist, who forgot this, honked the horn to say goodbye to his colleagues. The bomb exploded before the alarm could be rang and set off. This extraordinary act of foolishness resulted in the deaths of 21 ISIS militants. Truly self-employed. #

Before France's Lafarge was merged with Switzerland's Holcim , it continued to operate the plant when all other companies withdrew due to the Syrian civil war, and in order to operate the plant safely and continue to export, it enforced an oil deal with ISIL. After the group merger and the launch of Lafarge Holcim, the group was tried on these charges and eventually changed its name to Holcim. It has been restored.

Four women who left Australia around 2018 and joined ISIS with the intention of becoming brides for IS fighters in 2026 stayed in a Syrian refugee camp after the destruction of ISIS, and with the help of a women's group, purchased airline tickets to return to Australia through Damascus. As this fact becomes known, there are enormous pros and cons in Australian society. Women who left Australia to become brides for Muslim fighters because they did not want to be discriminated against in Australia are now saying that they are returning home, not alone, but with as many as nine children of terrorists in tow, causing an uproar. In the end, a temporary entry ban was imposed on one of the four people, and three people are also scheduled to be arrested and put on trial upon their return.

As mentioned above, the name ISIS comes from Egypt. goddess There is a lot of confusion because it means Isis . In addition, after the true name of the Caliphate, they decided to name themselves 'Islamic State (IS)' and caused trouble here and there as they were often confused with various things that used IS as an abbreviation. Please refer to the document for details. As a result , IS Dongseo 's contract performance plummeted after the outbreak of this group, and in 2020, they spit out the ceramics company they merged with under their brand name.

As explained in the Archer document, the spy group ISIS, to which the main character belongs in the comical spy TV animation that is popular in the United States, also had to transfer its affiliation to the CIA starting from the 6th period. Thanks to the popularity of the program, T-shirts with ISIS written on the chest were also being sold, but it is now very difficult to sell these anymore.

In the UK, an underwear company launched a brand called 'Isis' for women's underwear, but it was quite disappointing because it overlapped with ISIL. In the United States, a condominium in a rich neighborhood was called ISIS, and then it was renamed. AT&T, a US telecommunications company, also launched an NFC payment method under the name Isis, then renamed it Softcard.[49] A Belgian chocolate company changed its name from Italo Suisse to Isis and then to Libeert. In fact, it is not once or twice that women whose name is Isis are suspiciously looked at by those around them, assuming that they are not terrorists.

Appears as the main villain in the game IS Defense. A defense game with a homefront -like setting where you have to prevent ISIS from invading Europe . The producer is Destructive Creations, the company behind Hateread , which is infamous for its troll games .

At the beginning of the movie The Mummy , there is a scene where terrorists shoot and destroy an ancient stone structure in the shape of a sphinx .

It also appears as the main antagonistic force in 'Syria Warfare' and carries out murderous suicide attacks, represented by merciless IEDs , against the protagonists, the Syrian military, police, and Russian troops . Due to the fairly hardcore nature of the game, the level of difficulty is quite high. However, since the production company is Russian, the Syrian Arab Army and the Russian Army are portrayed as absolute lines, and forces such as the Syrian rebels and the White Helmets , who rebelled against the Syrian government, are lumped together and treated as IS.[50] The Western reporters and troops are extremely incompetent, and there is a very negative element of portraying them as idiots who grab the main character's ankles, so think about it before playing.

There is a drama on Netflix called 'Black Jihad', and it features completely hypocritical, crazy human trash who exposes women and young boys . It even disparages the princess characters in children's books, calling it obscene, and depicts various incidents mentioned above, such as a reporter infiltrating IS, the Al Kasasbeh spin-off incident, and an airstrike against IS.[51]

The Earth Liberation Army (GLA), which appears in the RTS game Command & Conquer General released in 2003, uses bombings, assassinations, and biological weapons as its main tactics, and its actions with ISIS are so similar that General is sometimes considered a future prediction game. There were even voices questioning whether it was true. In the expanded version of Zero Hour, generals who specialized in each tactic were added, and in 2014, ISIS executives attracted even more attention with the appearance of executives whose actions resembled those exactly.

ISIL is mentioned in Season 5 of Prison Break .

It is one of the main hostile forces in the American drama seal team , Six and Homand Season 4.

In Terra Invicta, a modern-to-near-future strategy simulation game, players can revive an entity through research or make a claim to a former Islamic country. With the first research, you can expand your reach to most of the Sunni Arab region, including Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iraq, with the second research, you can expand your reach to the Shia region, Turkiye, Central Asia, and Indonesia, and with the third research, you can expand your reach to Russia, India, and the Pacific . There is no need to grow it into a terrorist country. With enough time and investment, it can be turned into a healthy power with a huge territory and population.

The name of this document and the name of the organization concerned are subject to differing opinions in various countries or organizations . The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls it ISIL . Since the current document was written on the Rigveda Wiki, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , which translated this word into Korean , adopted it as the headline based on the principle of "following the position of the government of the Republic of Korea first in terms of internationally controversial headwords such as diplomacy and inter-Korean relations. " It became.[52]

However , namuwiki values ​​versatility and universality more and is not greatly influenced by the position of the South Korean government. Therefore, even if it is written as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from the position of the South Korean government, there is a possibility that the title will be changed in the future, as the term Daesh is increasingly used to refer to this group in some European countries and the Islamic world . It is just that we have not changed the title yet because we do not feel the need to do so, but even if we adopt the current title as is, it does not mean that namuwiki follows the official position of the South Korean government. It is like not calling Al Qaeda "The Fundamental" or not calling the Taliban "Students."

However, since the terminology used by the public often follows the way media companies express it, and the media often uses terms officially designated by the government, there is a high possibility that these names will be fixed at present.

However, there are also many criticisms of the claim to make Daesh the official name. In particular, once ISIL declared itself to be an ' Islamic state ', it is not that historically, a country or caliphate with a strong tendency of Islam with a similar logic did not appear. So there is no reason not to call it an Islamic State just because it is not recognized by non-ISIL Muslims. Organizations like the IRA also have the Irish name in their name , but no one makes a huge statement that the IRA is not Irish, or insists that they be called without the Irish name.

In the example above, there is no such problem because it is a single-state resistance group, but ISIL can give the impression that it represents a single religion, and it is also the reason why Islamic countries oppose calling ISIL an Islamic state. That's it. Even Muslims do not protest too much if we call it the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,” which is not an Islamic state.

In Korean society, the expression 'daesi' is not used well, so if you refer to this group as 'Daesi', the majority of Koreans do not understand. Considering the sociality of language , it is advisable to write the official name of ' IS ', ' ISIL ', ' ISIS ', or 'Iraq Levant Islamic State' , which are widely known in Korea instead of the name 'Daesi' .

In North Korea , the name “Islamic State” is used.
