What is the I.S.? And how are they financed? (2016)

In 2003 the US began a international war with Iraq in Iraq. They left a broken and unstable country. Iraq was used by Afghan Mujahideen to create a branch of "Al-Qaeda". Since 2006, they have been building a new organization: the so-called "Islamic State" or IS. Published US Pentagon secret documents show that the US accepted the rise of the IS to weaken the regime in Syria. Similar to "Al-Qaeda" is a terrorist organization. However, it has a mercenary army of about 20,000 people. With great brutality, they conquer areas in Iraq, Syria and the eastern Mediterranean coast. In order to justify the crimes committed, they misuse the Muslim faith.
