Hundreds of people died in Moscow's terrorist attacks, and the "Islamic State" claimed responsibility, what kind of organization is it?
In recent days, the world was shocked by the terrorist attacks in Moscow, which killed hundreds of people. Behind this tragedy is the Islamic State's claim of responsibility. However, for many people, it seems that the sanctity of the Islamic State and why it committed such cruel acts remains a mystery. Let's get to know this organization.
The Islamic State (IS) is an extremist Islamic armed group whose mission is to create a state that conforms to its extreme interpretation of Sharia law. It originated after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, and with the chaos of the situation in Iraq and the rise of terrorist forces, it gradually grew and controlled large swaths of land in Iraq and Syria.
ISIL's organizational structure and methods of operation are extremely brutal and efficient. They have resorted to extreme means, including terrorist attacks, wars, kidnappings, and public executions, to expand their power, intimidate their enemies, and maintain their rule. And one of their goals is to take revenge on Western countries as a way to demonstrate their presence and power.
The group imposes strict Sharia law within its territory and imposes brutal punishments on those who violate its rules. These punishments include hand punishment, beheading, flogging, and even ethnic cleansing of religious and ethnic minorities.
The rise and persistence of the Islamic State poses a serious threat to world and regional security. Various countries have carried out joint strikes against it, including military operations, intelligence cooperation, and freezing funds. However, ISIL still exists to some extent and is constantly trying to reorganize and launch terrorist attacks through various means.
To solve the problem of the "Islamic State", it is necessary not only to strike militarily, but also to solve its deep-seated social, political, and economic problems. These problems include regional conflicts, ethnic contradictions, religious extremism, etc., and all parties need to work together to eradicate the hotbeds of terrorism by improving governance, promoting development, and promoting reconciliation, so as to eliminate the breeding ground for extremist groups such as the "Islamic State".
To sum up, the "Islamic State" is an extremist Islamic armed organization that aims to establish a Sharia state, expands its power and maintains its rule through terrorist means, and poses a serious threat to world and regional security. Solving this problem requires a concerted global effort, not only in terms of military strikes, but also in terms of addressing the deep-seated problems that exist in order to eradicate the breeding ground for terrorism once and for all.
