Who is ISIS?
ISIS which also stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the group is predominantly Sunni jihadist, a jihadist is a person who believes the entire community of Muslims be governed under sharia law (Amy Zalman, 2014), and if any one objects to the believes they will be dealt with in violence. The jihadi term can be found in the Quran. Their aim is to establish a caliphate which is based on sharia law. Shariah law comes from the actions and words of Muhammad who is the author of the Quran, it happens to be one of the most intrusive and strict, especially against women (Sharia law, 2014). The law covers a wide range of topics from public behavior, private behavior and private beliefs. There are certain consequences when the law is broken, for example, if a person is convicted of theft, the person will have their right hand amputated , or in a case some denies or insults the Quran one can be put to death, and the lists goes on with the outrages consequences
