The Trajectory of ISIS: Political Discourse and Youth Agenda

IntroductionThe influence of Islamic assure in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) is spreading fast not only in the Middle East tho also across the globe. The sophistication and intensity of the ISISs onslaughts to expand their territory has raised questions of how they manage to go through their missions in the recent past. Most studies on the problems facing Middle East have focused on the immediate issues and concerns related to radical Islamic groups however, this research seeks to investigate the emerging of ISIS in the dimension of early days agenda. Studies have shown that majority of the youth in Islamic states believe that Islam should play a role in the political discourse (Motadel, 2014 Sarikil, 2010). Their demand, based on theory, is that states based on Islamic principles are more in demand(predicate) than one with liberal approach to governance (Motadel, 2014). Although the youth desire to have states under strong Islamic principles, history indicates that youth put mor e importance to their ethnic and sectarian identities than to their national identity (Jung and Raudvere, 2008). The emergent problem, among other issues, in this scenario is that the imagined ideal Islamic state is in question because there is no star Islamic identity that everyone would agree upon. Therefore, one fundamental question arises, what is this Islamic State being ripe(p) by the ISIS and what is it practicality in the perspective of future political discourse? We advance this question further and pick up What do the Muslim youth believe in the purely Islamic State and systemIs there whatsoever single Islamic ideology among the Muslim youthsIf yes, what are these ideologiesIf no, what are the conflicting differences and what do they mean for the future of ISIS?ReferenceJung, D. and Raudvere, C.
