What does isis stand for-The Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) The original name for the group in
Arabic was Al-Dawla Al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham. The first three words
translate to the Islamic State of Iraq while “al-Sham” refers to Syria or an
undefined region around Syria.
What is al qaeda- broad-based militant Islamist
organization founded by Osama bin Laden in the late 1980s. Al-Qaedabegan
as a logistical network to support Muslims fighting against the Soviet Union
during the Afghan War; members were recruited throughout the Islamic world.
How is isis different from al qaeda- ISIS has made
clear it wants to attack the U.S., whereas al Qaeda already has. For that
reason, al Qaeda is still considered the recognized leader of the global
jihadist movement. Since the 9/11 attack, al Qaeda has carried out plots
several times over the last five years against the U.S., and the group has the
capability to do more.
