what is IS ?

For the ones who are interested in news here is a little sum up of what the islamic state  is.

IS

The Islamic State was created in 2004 by a two terrorist group: Al Quaeda in Iraq and Al Nosra.
They are claiming that almost all Syria and the northern part of Iraq belongs to their Caliphate, a state (which is not recognized as a real state in this case) which is ruled by a Caliph, Ibrahim, who applies the Sharia a text of Muslim laws.
This terrorist group is very popular because more than a group of people acting in the shadow, the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, DAECH, IS, ISIL) has created a real country with its land, its army and its huge amount of money (thanks to oil and gas fields plus a bank storming). They have shown many time what they were able to do on a large scale thanks to internet (like the decapitations of three journalists). They are nowadays fighting, to take over what they claim to be their lands, against the armies of Iraq and Syria, the others terrorists groups and the US planes. Their power is still big but decreasing because they have lost much men and money

  1. I think your article is quite interesting!
    Indeed, this subject frightens me a lot.. When I Watch the news and it talks about the IS, I'm always scared of what could happen. I saw today a video of 2 french kids (aged of around 7 I think) who were taken by their parents to Syria and they were holding Kalachtikofs while talking of how to be a man and what's real life (=killing).I think it's awful what's happening there and I wish our world could be as peaceful as everyone dream it to be.
