ISIS

As we covered last week the history of ISIS is very complex. Steeped in the Islamic history of Caliphates, and in the international and ideological conflict between East and West. You got an inside look at what ISIS truly is along with why people have left. Lastly, weve touched on U.S. foreign policy and how it has according to many experts and political pundits to allow ISIS to spread and expand. With a touch of Muslim eschatology, the future of ISIS will be one of fundamental world interest and will draw the U.S. into the conflict for the foreseeable future.

PROMPT: Using the materials and recalling the resourced we covered last week in class you will write a 3-4 page essay that will cover some or all of the following topics:

What are the goals of ISIS?

How does ISIS reflect both Muslim History and its future? (Include Eschatology if you wish)

How did they rise?

How did U.S. foreign policy influence the rise of ISIS?

What has their impact been on the Middle East and the world at large?

What do you predict is the future of ISIS?

The essay need not include all topics, but your thesis statement must clearly define the scope of your response.
