ISIS' Real Title?

 Discourse
My discourse was on ISIS and how they shouldn't be labeled as an extremist terrorist group by society. I circled my argument around a very unique trait that ISIS "should" be known by, and that's organization. So you could say that my essay was centered on the logos mode of appeal, with some ethos and very little pathos involved as well. I used multiple sources to formulate a solid argument that ISIS should be known as an organization, sources come from writers and journalists from USA Today, Foreign Affairs, Newsweek, and Newsweek Global.

How ISIS Is Portrayed
Through the lens of the media people know that ISIS is a horrible organization led by "Muslims" who believe they're carrying out the word of God as Jihadists, which the rest of the sane Muslim population on Earth believe to be false (even me). Some call them a gang of terrorists, some call them Muslim extremists. Even though one has the right to voice their opinion. ISIS should be known and respected as an extremely well assembled organization.

Why They Deserve That Title
Even though I believe ISIS is just as bad as you think they are. The statistics are mind boggling. They hoist a massive army, estimated to have up to 40,000 trained fighters, sustain territory in both Iraq and Syria, maintain extensive military capabilities, control lines of communication, command infrastructure, they fund themselves, and engage in sophisticated military operations. Sounds like some Navy Seal s**t right. So the next time you hear someone call them a gang of terrorists, you stop and let them know this frightening stat. Though their intentions are absolutely horrendous, credit must be awarded where it is due.


Video
The Video below just shows you one aspect of ISIS. The manner in which they conduct training is even frightening, they put their fighters almost through a warfare simulator which most armies probably won'y do. This just shows you how organized they are willing to be.
