| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a Sunni militant jihadist group predominantly active in Iraq and Syria. The group subscribes to an extreme version of Islam and promotes sectarian violence in keeping with its jihadist ideology. All non-Muslims and even Shi’as are denounced by the Islamic State as infidels and apostates. The main ambition of the jihadist group is to create a united, transnational pan-Islamic State, a Shari’a based caliphate, stretching mainly across Iraq and the Levant region. |
