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

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

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

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

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