Islamic Terroristic organization in the world

Islamic Terroristic organization in the world

• Terrorist groups are rarely self-sufficient and do not always pursue their goals alone. Often, there are superordinate organizations whose individual national associations act independently, but are defacto centrally controlled or advocate a common goal. The example of Al-Qaeda explains this particularly well: Al-Qaeda occasionally appears as a transnational, independent terrorist organization, but it is actually a huge terrorist network.

Several terrorist groups have in common is financial support through donations. This does not only include (partly forced) donations from private individuals, but also states themselves support individual groups.

ISIS is the richest terror organization the world has known.

• Its annual turnover amounts to around $2 billion, and some analyst estimate the number to be $3 billion.
• By occupying vast areas of Iraq and Syria, ISIS also took control of many oil and gas fields.
• ISIS currently controls 60% of oil reserves in Syria, and was able to get its hand on the seven major oil and gas reserves in Iraq, including the country’s largest oil refinery.
• ISIS now sells tens of thousands of barrels every day on the black market. Although this oil is sold at 40% to 75% less than the market price, ISIS still pockets around $3 million every day—more than a billion dollars a year. And that’s just from oil.

• Established as a militant group fighting for the Shi’ite population in Lebanon and against Israel, Hezbollah, like Hamas, has a strong political arm that became one of the major powers in Lebanon. Hezbollah has a network of nursing institutes, which provides relief, welfare, education and livelihood to large segments of the Shi’ite population in need.

Hezbollah’s main sponsor is the Iranian regime, which donates an estimated $250 million a year to the organization.

Taliban is a militant political movement that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and applied the rule of Sunni Islamic Sharia law.
