The organization known today simply as the “Islamic
State,” or by its Arabic acronym, Daesh (English, ISIL), has historical
and ideological roots that go beyond the territories it now controls.
These deep roots give Daesh confidence that it will succeed in
dominating the world, but give others reasons to believe that it will
fail in controlling even a single nation. Mixing puritan religious and
political discourses, ISIL managed to dominate all other armed
opposition groups in conflict zones (Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya) and
has inspired individuals in many other countries (Egypt, Pakistan,
France, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia) to carry out brutal attacks
in its name.
