group called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, commonly referred to as ISIS. But you'd have to be a scholar on Iraqi and Syria to fully understand

全名「伊拉克沙姆伊斯蘭國」，位居伊拉克和敘利亞的新興宗教組織，但你必須是研究該兩國的學者

this conflict, so we can't explain everything. But we can tell you enough

才能完全了解伊拉克和敘利亞之間的衝突，我們無法解釋事件始末

to contextualize all the news stories you've been hearing lately, so that the next time someone says ISIS,

卻可以統整近來新聞報導，好讓下次有人說到「伊斯蘭國」

you can say, oh yeah. I know those guys. They're horrible terrorists.

你可以回答：「對啊，我知道他們是恐怖份子。」

So, who is ISIS and what do they want?

「伊斯蘭國」是誰？他們到底想幹嘛？

They are a Jihadist militant group with strong holds in both Iraq and Syria

他們代表伊斯蘭聖戰組織，在伊拉克和敘利亞都擁有強大基地

as you can see on this map. But they are not stopping there.

就如你在地圖上所看到，但他們的企圖不僅於此

Their goal is to obtain more lands, so they can create their own nation.

他們的目標是佔領更多土地，以創立自己的國度

Their dream country will look something like this, and it will be called the Islamic State

他們理想的國家看起來大概像這樣，而國家名稱將制定為

In Iraq and Syria or ISIS. So who are the fighting members of ISIS?

「伊拉克沙姆伊斯蘭國」或「伊斯蘭國」，那誰是抗爭份子呢？

Well, that where it gets more complicated. Iraq breaks down into three major groups;

這就是問題的癥結點了，伊拉克境內分成三大派系

Sunni Arabs, Shiite Arabs, and Kurds. ISIS members are Sunni Arabs, so was Saddam Huessien.

遜尼派、什葉派和庫德族，伊斯蘭國和海珊皆隸屬遜尼派

His regime was Sunni backed.

海珊在位期間有遜尼派支持

So does that means this is just the old guard taking back power?

那這只是前朝老臣再度奪回政權嗎？

No. Saddam Huessien was a secularist.

並非如此，海珊是世俗主義論者

ISIS, on the other hand, is militant Jihadists group that wants strict Sharia law.

伊斯蘭國則是由嚴格遵守伊斯蘭教法的聖戰份子所主張

This was not the desire of Huessien's regime.

這並非當初海珊在位時的政策走向

Although there are science that some of the Huessien's former forces are currently working with ISIS.

然而卻有證據顯示海珊的部分屬下目前和伊斯蘭國有合作關係

It's complicated.

內部情形很複雜

敘利亞的情況更為複雜

is currently fighting a civil war against

主戰派政府目前正在對抗

various rebel groups.

各種叛亂組織所引發的內亂

ISIS is not one of those rebel groups, but ISIS does wanna take over most of Syria.

伊斯蘭國雖然不是那些叛亂份子，但他們確實想要奪取敘利亞的大部分領土

So they are in some degree of arm conflict with both the Syrian government and the rebels.

所以就某種程度而言，他們目前正與敘利亞當權政府和反叛份子敵對

It is pure chaos. In short, ISIS has been committing acts of violence, and terrorism

情勢極其混亂。總之，伊斯蘭國在敘利亞和伊拉克

in both Syria and Iraq for a while. And only now make it the news for one simple reason.

一直以來不斷進行暴力犯罪和恐怖組織罪。而這事件最近成為新聞的原因很簡單

They are winning. Militarily speaking, ISIS is the most successful Jihadist group

伊斯蘭國目前極佔優勢，就軍事方面來說

the world has ever seen.

伊斯蘭國是目前全球最成功的激進民兵組織

They are collecting taxes from businesses, setting up infrastructures,

and releasing quarterly reports.

以及公佈組織季報

They're gaining strength. They could be around for a long time. And they may be a bigger

他們正在擴張勢力範圍，可以長期在該地區活動
