It was the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 that sparked the formation of this cuddly little group of folks. Their wiki page is great reading. 2 particularly disturbing things stood out for me. Their motto: "Remaining and Expanding" (perish the thought) and this line: "ISIS had close links with al-Qaeda until 2014, but in February of that year, after an eight-month power struggle, al-Qaeda cut all ties with the group, reportedly for its "notorious intractability" and wanton brutality."
When the al-Qaeda don't want you, you know you're bad-ass!
Did these ISIS guys come form refugee camps?
Or are they corrupted just because of some God?
