ISIS



The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, otherwise known as ISIS, ISIL, just IS for Islamic State or Daesh, are a radical, Muslim extremist terrorist group who, beginning summer 2014, claimed large amounts of land in the Middle East as theirs. They have declared and, since that time, been at war with most of the Middle East and the western world, have coordinated terrorist attacks across the globe and are a constant source of human rights violations and shocking headlines.

Ghost has frequently covered them and their happenings on True Capitalist Radio. He claimed, before Ghost's Absence, that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were destabilizing the Middle East with their happenings in Egypt and Libya, heavily criticizing their administrations and foreign policies. Ghost has since claimed credit for predicting the rise of ISIS, something even his more critical listeners would be forced to concede. He also would pin the blame on terrorist attacks that happened in Europe in 2016 and 2017 on the European Union and mainly Angela Merkel for their extremely lax policy of allowing unvetted refugees in their respective countries. Before The Break, he blamed United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May for allowing multiple terrorist attacks in which ISIS claimed responsibility.

Mahmoud is known to be a member of the organization. After the end of the civil war in Libya, Mahmoud joined the ranks of ISIS and by 2016 he had managed to rise to the rank of lieutenant within the organization.

Ghost has sometimes maintained extended conversations with serious listeners on the topic, including an out-of-character Tub Guy who once had much to say on the subject.
