VIDEO: 2014 In Review — Islamic State in Iraq & Syria

December 31, 2014 by Yasmin Khatun Follow @Yasm1nK @Yasm1nK

There are many stories of loss and terror every and 2014 was no different. Over the last four years we’ve been following the collapse of Syria — a loss and pain on a scale difficult to even comprehend. For years longer we’ve watched Iraq, a country of history and grandeur, turned into rubble.

But in this past year the story changed in a way no one expected. The loss didn’t stop and neither did terror, but a new dimension came into motion under the banner of the Islamic State.

 

Originally aired on the Islam Channel: “A year in review: IS caliphate in Syria & Iraq.”
