Terrorist Attacks in Paris

          

               If you haven't heard, which it would be very hard to believe if you didn't hear, there were Terrorist attacks by ISIS on Paris, France on Friday during a soccer match. An unidentified man was carrying a bomb attached to his chest and was not granted access into the stadium. He then walked away and detonated the bomb. Also there was mass shooting during a concert killing many people and injuring even more. The question that has to be asked here is why. What was the reasoning behind ISIS bombing Paris and why did they do it.

     Apparently, there are many reasons for why ISIS decided to terrorise France and the first is simply because, this is what Global Jihadists do and they simply cant help themselves. Another reason is that this was always the plan, but Isis didn't have the capability or opportunity to carry it out before and they felt that considering there was a large concert as well as a soccer match they felt that this would be the best time to do so considering how populated Paris was going to be. The Islamic State wants to offset its territorial loses in Syria and Iraq by carrying out high-profile attacks abroad. this mean that ISIS wants to take their mind off of their territorial loss to Iraq and they felt they felt that the best way to do that was to bomb Paris.

   By ISIS doing this terrible action they are making a statement saying that they want to cement their position as leader and show Al Qaeda that they are the leader of the Global Jihad and they want everyone to fear them so they know how strong they really are. ISIS also wants more powerful nations to attempt to get rid of ISIS as it will give them even more reasoning to want to terrorise these particular countries like United States and Russia. But the answer could be way more simplistic to why ISIS did this. It could be the total opposite of what we think the reasoning is to why ISIS did this. Maybe ISIS actually wants its enemies to all go into Syria so ISIS can do things to their countries when there is nobody there to protect it. ISIS could potentially drain resources, since all large countries are basically at war, it will create a lot of chaos. they may even be presenting themselves as a defender of Muslims in which they just want to protect their religion.

    The thing that is very bad is that ISIS is very unpredictable and we don't know when they will strike again. In my opinion I believe that all of the larger countries like USA, England, Canada, Russia and France all need to declare war and fight together to defeat the Islamic Nation once and for all. For the safety of the citizens I believe that the only way to defeat ISIS is to declare war and get rid of them once and for all.
