SIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ) is
the world’s largest, richest terrorist organizations, ever. It’s a
self-sustaining enterprise that runs mainly on extortion and crime
networks, hostages, oil, donations… According to Martin Chulov; ISIS
has grown from a ragtag band of extremists to perhaps the most
cash-rich and capable terror group in the world with a $2 billion
jihadist network. The scale of ISIS resources is unprecedented: A terrorist
organization while ruthless, but still able to occupy large areas of
territory, quickly… for example; it controls several major cities in
Iraq, which it occupied in just three days, it holds parts of several
other cities and continues to menace still other cities throughout Iraq
and Syria: It’s quite an accomplishment… According to Michael Knights; some estimates of ISIS’s wealth are overstated, for example; the $2 billion estimate that’s been floating around is too high, but that’s not to say ISIS isn’t raking in a fair amount of cash– between $2 million and $4 million per day… ISIS is
a wealthy terrorist movement or better yet an effective financial
enterprise, which it run very much like a large-scale Mafia type
protection rackets business across much of Iraq.
