This isn't a joke thread; don't make this a joke thread.
Do you feel that ISIS has become more powerful and feared than Al-Qaeda? Whilst they were a force to be reckoned with, I never once felt like I were under a constant threat, if you get what I mean. With ISIS I feel like something is happening everyday and it's hard to predict where.
Yes. In the early 2000's when Al-Qaeda was growing, there wasn't social media and it was more contained in the Middle East. Now, there's millions of homegrown terrorists across the world that use social media to connect themselves to ISIS.

I think ISIS is damaging more Europe while Al-Qaeda made more damage to America.
In the long run I see ISIS being a more dangerous group, the governments of the Westerns countries seem to have no idea of how to finish with that horrible plague.
I wasn't old enough to feel it back then but from what I know, ISIS is a lot stronger. With all the social media present now ISIS has the possibility to push thousands of people around the globe into terrorism just like that. Al Quaeda was contained and while the impact they had was enormous (a lot bigger than what ISIS did, they pushed the whole world into a War against terrorism due to 9/11 which eventually led to the creation of ISIS) ISIS has more power.

No, sort of, I don't think ISIS has killed as many people but then Al-Queda never took over some desert and a few towns in Syria, but then ISIS are also getting pushed back in a lot of their territory. I don't know I feel like because of the internet it is more Islamic extremism rather than ISIS itself that is scary, Al-Queda seemed scarier at its peak.
An Australian woman, who named her daughter Isis after the Egyptian goddess, says it has caused a rift in her family because the name is "now synonymous with terrorism and evil".
This is crazyyy
ISIS is just an abbrevation, an acronym, while Isis is an actual name
