Islamic state emerged in Iraq and Syria in the previous decade initiating a new waveof terrorism in the world. ISIS’s emergence was a result of major events in the Middle Eastern history that provided a vacuum for such militancy to fill the gap. The aim of this paper is to trace out the ideological, psychological and political factors that helped createthis group. By evaluating this case in the light of “Bottom-up Approach” and “Top-down Approach,” this paper establishes an understanding of the fundamental causes of its rise by taking in account the specific features and characteristics of this group.
