ISIS is a terrorist group who have been killing and causing suffering for thousands of people in the name of religion. This group has been saying they are protecting their religion which is Islamic. However, behind all this drama their goal is to destroy peace from the world and get their own political and economic power. Many people have been blaming Muslims for the actions of terrorists. They think the ISIS group is the same as Islam. In fact, ISIS has nothing to do with that religion. This is a group of terrorists who are killing people from any religion. They don’t represent Islam or Christianity or any act of God. They are not religious leaders, they are a terrorist group of extremists.
