The banner of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Photo: counterjihadreport.com) Known today at the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, ISIS has gone through many reorganizations and name changes in the course of the past dozen years, but it has kept essentially the same goals.

The ISIS Story

Although sometimes referred to as a branch of al Qaida, it is better described as a rival organization that formed a temporary alliance with al Qaida as a result of the U.S. war in Iraq. It is a revolutionary Islamist movement that uses both terroristic and insurgent methods in its quest to overthrow what it considers unworthy Arab governments and re-establish the caliphate — the Muslim political-religious empire founded by Muhammad in the seventh century. Organizationally, it is what political scientist Paul Staniland has called a “vanguard” group, meaning that it has a tight central leadership but is only weakly embedded in the community.

But running away from the truth will only complicate the ability of Arab states and societies to comprehend where the IS came from, how it has unexpectedly managed to surge into so much power so quickly, and how it can be effectively countered. One of the most persistent and widespread delusions is that the IS did not, in fact, emerge from Sunni Muslim communities in Iraq and Syria over the course of the wars there in the past decade.

Instead, it is increasingly asserted, the IS is a creature of, and was established by, intelligence services such as the CIA or the Israeli Mossad. An extraordinarily large number of Arabs, Muslims and others appear to have taken refuge in these conspiracy theories. Call it Baghdadi Denial Syndrome. How to make Isis fall on its own sword.
