Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS). Iran, through its involvement in the battles, managed to expand its power in the eastern frontlines in Syria especially in al-Bukamal city near the Syrian-Iraqi borders.
