Taking preventative measures to undermine the economic network of the Islamic State and the distribution of arms to the Islamic State.
- The Islamic State is a Sunni fundamentalist organization that relies on strict, and extremist interpretations of Sharia Law. The Islamic State aims to create a caliphate across Iraq, Syria, and beyond. Much of the Middle East is increasingly subject to acts of violence and religious repression under the iron rule of the Islamic State––they are responsible for over 170,000 deaths in the region. The group’s strong logistical (ammunition) and economic support across the Middle East has played a key role in their ascension to power. To put this into perspective, investigators from Conflict Armament Research cataloged over 1,700 bullet cartridges by the Islamic State and the CIA estimates that the group has garnered up to 31,500 fighters in Iraq and Syria. Furthermore, the New York Times predicts that the group has at least US$400 million in asset. Created with the objective of spreading radicalism and eliminating any form of opposition, the Islamic State poses a great threat to world peace and any hope to restore stability in the Middle East region. As the Arab Council tasked with addressing this issue, we have a responsibility to take action and prevent the situation from rapidly deteriorating. Simply put, we cannot afford to let the growth of a group that has inflicted so much harm persist.
