Confusion about the true founder of ISIS
[edit]In this article, it says that Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi is the founder of ISIS. At the same time, the introduction states that the organization traces back to the Jai'sh al-Taifa al-Mansurah organization founded by Abu Omar al-Baghdadi in 2004. The true founder is Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi as mentioned in the header "History" under the name Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (1999). This issue should be fixed.

Not done: I don't know what you request to edit. TheNuggeteer (talk) 11:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- nobody claimed the medina bombing, and when IS kills a sunni its not because the victim was a sunni. Anders Breivik killed many white people, doesnt make him a self-hating anti-white racist as he didnt target them for their race 157.157.149.105 (talk) 13:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Ideology
[edit]Just wondering, what is the reason for the unusually long ideology list, when they are all included in Islamic Statism and more specifically described there. Wouldn’t it be better to just put Islamic Statism? Ilamxan (talk) 18:48, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
The Provinces
[edit]Should we list certain groups under other "Provinces" such as Ansar al-Khalifah Philippines and MIT under East Asia Province, some of the Pakistani groups under Pakistan Province or Khorasan Province (depending on the area of operation), Kurdistan Province under Iraq Province, etc?
Also list groups such as Ansar al-Khalifah Brazil under "un-organized" cells while moving Azerbaijan, Tunis, and Lebanon Province to "groups" as their officially acknowledged by IS as official branches Alexander141104 (talk) 21:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
