IS a creation of West's wrongs

Islamic State is by far the most barbaric terrorist group. Founded on the war-torn ruins of Iraq and Syria, the IS is reportedly using "sex slaves" and indiscriminately executing captured Iraqi soldiers. And it excels in uploading videos of hostage executions on the Internet to spread terror.

Worse, the IS' influence on disgruntled, misguided people seems to be increasing. The man who took 17 hostages in a caf�� in Sydney, which resulted in three deaths and left four people injured, is believed to have been a sympathizer of the terrorist group.

The IS has imposed "Islamic rule" in the territory it controls in northern Iraq while its leaders dream of conquering the entire Islamic world and even "raising the flag of Allah in the White House".
