This topic will consist of a TIMELINE of events with the ongoing Islamic State Crisis around the world.

.


[b]
April 30
- Iraq holds its third national elections since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. The parliamentary elections are also the first such poll since the 2011 U.S. army withdrawal. No balloting was held in parts of Sunni-dominated Anbar province where security forces were fighting militants.

June 6 - A suicide bomber targets a group of pro-government, anti-militant Sunni militiamen, killing eight people including the prominent local leader Mohammed Khamis Abu Risha, the nephew of the influential tribal leader Ahmed Abu Risha. His brother had led the formation of the Sahwa an anti-al-Qaida militia allied with U.S. forces until his assassination in 2007. The Sahwa, also known as the Sons of Iraq, later disbanded.

June 10 - The al-Qaida breakaway group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, takes over Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul, followed by Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit and smaller communities in the Sunni heartland as government forces melt away.

June 23 - Iraq-based powerful Shiite spiritual leader, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, calls on Iraqis to join the security forces to fight Sunni extremist fighters.

June 29 - The group declares the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in territories it controls in Iraq and Syria and demands allegiance from Muslims worldwide. It declares the group's chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the leader of the new caliphate. The group renames itself the Islamic State.

July 1 - The United Nations announces June the deadliest month in Iraq since at least April 2005 with more than 2,400 Iraqis killed.

July 5 - A man purporting to be Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi makes his first public appearance, delivering a sermon at a mosque in Mosul.

Aug. 7 - The Islamic State militant seize the strategic Mosul Dam, pushing Kurdish peshmerga forces from a number of towns and forcing hundreds of thousands of minority Yazidis to flee.

Aug. 8 - The U.S. begins targeting fighters from the Islamic State with airstrikes.

Aug. 18 - Boosted by U.S. airstrikes, Iraqi and Kurdish forces say they wrest back control of the Mosul Dam as fighting was reported to be underway for the rest of the strategic complex. The Islamic State group denied the claim, insisting it was still in control of the facility.

Aug. 19 - James Foley (American) beheaded in a video posted online.

Sept. 2 - ISIS released a video showing the beheading of American Steven Sotloff

Sept 11 - An account linked to the extremist group known as ISIS, or ISIL, has been suspended after it called for attacks against Twitter employees in the United States, Mashable reported Wednesday. Specifically, an account entitled @Dawlamoon said it has come time for attacks.
The time has arrived to respond to Twitters management by directly attacking their employees and physically assassinating them, read one of the tweets read.
Following tweets said attacks would be carried out by sleeper cells of death and warned employees of Twitter in the San Francisco area should watch over himself because there may be an assassin waiting. ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Contributed by: Liability)

Police said 15 people had been detained in Sydney as part of the operation between NSW officers, the Australian Federal Police and ASIO.
Court documents are expected to reveal that the raids, at 25 different properties, were aimed at a cell which planned to behead a member of the public in Sydney.
The documents are expected to say that the plan involved snatching a random member of the public in Sydney, draping them in an Islamic State group (IS) flag and beheading them on camera. ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Contributed by: Cygnet)

The leader of Syrias most prominent terrorist group, Abu Mohamad al-Golani, in denouncing the US-led air strike campaign, has urged Westerners everywhere to do the same by standing against the decisions of your rulers, otherwise bloodshed would be brought to their soil.
"Muslims will not watch while their sons are bombed. Your leaders will not be the only ones who would pay the price of the war. You will pay the heaviest price," Reuters cited him as saying. He threatened viewers that the fight would be brought to the hearts of your homes. ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Contributed by: Miss)

[align=center][size=18]Additional Information

    -Between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria
    -The executioner in all three murders are appeared to be by the same person.
    -ISIS is Led by a Man Released from a U.S. Detention Camp in 2009
    -ISIS is the Richest Terror Organization in the World
    -In Addition to Beheadings, ISIS Has Carried Out Mass Executions and Rapes
    -ISIS Now Controls 35,000 Square Miles in Iraq and Syria

    -Weaponry that the US is using to fight the Islamic State:

    First off, I know this isn't really 'news', but I thought maybe some of you would be interested in knowing what the US and it's allies use to bomb them.

    The Syrian bombing campaign was the combat debut of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. The stealth fighter had a rough road to being actually used in combat, running over-budget and plagued by glitches. The Pentagon declared it combat-ready a decade ago.

    The US Navy fired 47 Raytheon Tomahawk cruise missiles at targets in Syria. The number may sound relatively small, considering an estimated stockpile of 4,000 such missiles the US has. But its much more impressive if you bear in mind that the Navy plans to buy only 100 in 2015 and none thereafter due to budget cuts.

    An expected ensemble of other US combat aircraft, such as F-15 Strike Eagles, F-16s, B-1 bombers, is participating in the sorties.

    Along with Predator and Reaper drones, armed with Hellfire missiles.

You may want to add this in as it was a threat to an American civilian.

Its sad that a force so powerful challenges people who are weak. Targeting places with no real security and people who cant defend themselves, they must feel really tough.

So you think that we should have stood back and watch them slaughter even more people? They are to dangerous to just leave alone.

I think he means before ISIS started gaining their strength. Back when the US first got involved in affairs in the Middle East.
