After the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) became involved in Syria's civil war, not only the West but also other opposition groups have been disappointed as ISIL started undermining the legitimacy of the war against the Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. ISIL introduced itself to the world with atrocities, brutality and an extremist interpretation of Islamic jurisprudence. The group has been effective in Syria's eastern regions which have oil reserves and lie near the Iraqi border.
ISIL was once part of al-Qaeda, yet was disowned by the organization due to its aggressive stance against the other opposition groups, including al-Qaeda's official Syria branch, Jabhat al-Nusra.
ISIL has also adopted an aggressive stance toward Kurds living in the region.
Geographically, the areas seized by ISIL were near cities which are either controlled by Kurdish militias or other opposition factions but not by the regime forces.
