A revelatory look inside the worlds most dangerous terrorist group. Initially dismissed by US President Barack Obama, along with other fledgling terrorist groups, as a jayvee squad compared to al-Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS has shocked the world by conquering massive territories in both countries and promising to create a vast new Muslim caliphate that observes the strict dictates of Sharia law.
