+Will James That is ridiculous did you just make that up yourself or is it a jumble of USA propaganda?
Islamic State originated as Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad in 1999, which pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2004. The group participated in the Iraqi insurgency, which had followed the March 2003 invasion of Iraq by Western forces. In January 2006, it joined other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council, which proclaimed the formation of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) in October 2006. March 2011, the IS leader Al-Baghdadi, sent delegates into Syria in 2011 to organise increasingly violent demonstrations after Friday prayers & established a large presence in Sunni-majority areas of Syria's Raqqah, Idlib, Deir ez-Zor, and Aleppo. In April 2013, Al-Baghdadi announced the merger of the IS with al-Nusra Front
