Enemy of Enemies: The Rise of ISIL (P1) | Featured Documentary

- ISIL has been truly devastating to those it comes in contact with and bloody to those under its control. Its sudden rise and expansion in 2014 has perplexed many. It has humiliated its enemies, including those in Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran and Washington. Armed with extensive weaponry, boasting an international fighting force and adept in the art of digital media propaganda, the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has become the de facto authority across an area the size of the United Kingdom. This two-part series peels back the rhetoric to examine how a volunteer organization managed to rise up from the ashes of post-invasion Iraq and defeat standing armies many times its size and capacity. How did it begin? How did it grow so astonishingly quickly? And how is it being used by global and regional powers to change the geopolitical map of the Middle East? With critical testimony from informed insiders and experts from across three continents, as well as original footage from Syria and Iraq, this series mixes documentary and discussion to unravel the interweaving nexus of events and alliances, at once aligned and conflicting, that have given rise to the world’s most notorious, and powerful, insurgent group.

Am watching 8 years later, ISIS were actively gaining territories these years, I was also busy in my services, Somali military operations fighting against Alshabaab terrorists and liberating Swath land in a harsh time, I'm impressed and amazing how Al Jazeera satisfies it's listener's, fascinating well prepared documentary, great channel, thank you so much.
Everyone thought Saddam was bad he had to manage to control all these mess together without any help from anyone imagine that
Not true. The actions of Bremmer from the United States caused most of this. He disbanded all military personnel...which were career military people and declaired all debts settled which enraged the wealthy. Put those two together and you have a well funded death machine on top of the Middle East being a 3000 year long death circus.
I know a few soldiers who've said saddam warned the United nations about the insurgency before he got killed as did gaddafi
Exactly! Saddam was the only person who could control all the different groups. One of the worst decisions to turn on him. The Americans Shot their collective foot off with this one! Bremmers decision to disarm the Baath Party was the single most destabilizing action the CIA could have dreamed up. Well done fellas, not!!! So much carnage, so little intelligence. Sad for all the needless death on both sides.
@@TomTom-xp2jb well said
@@TomTom-xp2jb the thing is if Nato and America didn't kill him Israel would've, he hated Isreal and wanted them gone, at some point all this would've happened. Just a horrible situation overall.
can't wait for the second part... my God! if any body is still left ignorant of what has really happened and is happening in Iraq then they're forever destined to remain ignorant about it!... the perfect documentary.
Good to get some insight into the issue. Thanks Al Jazeera! Looking forward for the 2nd part.
+Petr Plunder, your comment has been featured in reVIEW's 'Your View' section: www.aljazeera.com/review/
I have watched documentaries on subjects like these, done by CNN and a few others , but Al Jazeera really captures everything and presents it really well.
Al Jazeera English... providing the English speaking world with documentaries with meticulous eye for detail. Well balanced
44:15 "I remember telling him (Assad) that it'll backfire on Syria."
What a Prophecy!!
Not prophecy M8!
Just following the script the US had already written
not prophecy , the mujahedeen wer planing to liberate palestine and the key for it, is syria
@@timothynesbitt9148 The U.S. isn't God.
The narrator says at 20:21 Nouri al-Maliki became Iraq's first democratically elected prime minister and then the American says at 21:22 "we SELECTED him to be prime minister in 2006".hmmmm lol something a bit fishy here.
Lol I only checked the comments to see if anyone else had this thought.
Let me play Devil’s Advocate and say that the dude meant America “selected” Nouri as a... “candidate” that just happened to win... 🤔
I was wondering if I was the only person who caught that. It’s not shocking, the US has a history of propping up nobodies thinking they’ll remain loyal. But they’re usually at least a little more subtle than that.
@@kingrapid You wish
@Paddy le Blanc that's my point exactly. I don't understand what u missed from my comment.
Good production - Accurate & unbiased reporting - credible sources

Imagine being biased in favor of ISIS
Great doco. That's why I love Al Jazeera.
another excellent programme from the al jazeera team. informative, well balanced and insightful. the key point of radicalisation of prisoners is still relevant in the EU or elsewhere.

A very good documentary about this topic. Thank you
This is a very good documentary - finally an american jewish guy having an open conversation with an iraqui guy. I'm glad the moderator is there though :)
The documentary of al jazeera really surpassed any other documentaries made ....well done
Vry informative discussion..
6 years ago this doc wow how the world changes🙏🏻🤲🏽🙌🏼
Interesting documentary. It shows that it's more about politics,power and historical mistakes. Religion is a minor factor in this war, since the baath party is a secular one.
+masiwa comorya, your comment has been highlighted in reVIEW's 'Your View' section: www.aljazeera.com/review/
+Al Jazeera English
can you put an Arabic Translation
your wide subscribers are talking Arabic ..
+masiwa comorya I think aspects of Islam do lend themselves toward radicalism and violence, but it's hardly unique in that regard, Christianity & Judaism can and were used just as effectively. The reasons they (for the most part at least, there are examples of extreme Christian/Jewish violence today) aren't like that now are myriad and mainly political/cultural. I see no reason why the middle east doesn't have the potential to undergo a sort of enlightenment like Europe did, but it's kind of difficult when you're being bombed, invaded and having governments overthrown and replaced by puppets all the time. I'm not saying it should become like the west, just ditch the fundamentalism.
+masiwa comorya Religion is the sole factor!
+Liam J Which governments are puppets?
Excellent documentary with intelligence and perceptiveness. .
it was never for democracy or chemical and nuclear weapons....it was for oil
Really great insights. I learned a lot from this one.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said it best, "If the US stops bothering the rest of the world everything will be fine."
100% agree. I used to ask my step dad when I was young way b4 9/11, why do we act like we are the boss of the world.
US goverment has been bought and payed for by people who dont care about death and destruction they cause, only money and power matters to these people
@@odie761 yep
💯
And if Iran stopped bothering the world everything will be fine. Iran is in Syria. Iran is involved in Yemen. Iran is involved in Lebanon. But then getting lectured by Muslim countries about interference is ironic to say the least. Muslim countries want an international law that will define the limits of freedom of speech in western countries.
Religions have brought so much solace and peace in this world. If you think the violence unleash by humans in the name of religion is unabated think of those billions of people who are peaceful and suppress evil intentions all in the name of religion, you will realise the goods of religion tip the scale....
Great documentary. When is part 2 going to be uploaded?

Before i start watching, i'll make one guess. America and Jews are blamed for ISIL's behaviour.
+Madameaproko.com Stupid comment.
+Madameaproko.com Good comment, imagine there would be nazi uprising in Germany and Allies would be blamed. My point is, debaathification was not strong enough, and here they complain how unfair it was...
+Bman Chu or a historic pattern
There was no ISIS in Iraq before the US illegally invaded, so yes the US is to blame.
They dont even exist Til us juden didnt arrived
Why would the USA spend over a Trillion dollars, Human Military Forces, and Arms when American citizens need help and to be invested in first! These people(the Middle East) do nothing but fight! Let those people fight it out for themselves and take personal responsibility for their own Country. The arrogance of that Iraqi guy is mind boggling! Fight your own battles.
You're totally wrong. If United States hadn't falsely attacked and destroyed the government in Iraq, there wouldn't have been a need for any of the killings and atrocities. And, no need for US to spend 2.7 Trillion dollars. Iraq had no WMD, and had no part in the so called 9/11 attack. US attacked and destroyed Iraq based on lies, and killed around one Million people in Iraq.
Iraq is the one of most eye-catching example for pplz of the world How amarica distroyed a country wid making a propeganda

This people are hardworking people who don't deserve mass genocide. I am Muslim by heart. I am just on the other side of the world.
Need part 2!

Interesting that Abu Ghraib was all over the news in the US but comparatively Camp Bucca was barely mentioned.
The beginning reminds of Homeland so much.
it's a. nice documentary
Nice
when does part two air?
When is part II coming?
Hope and pray for peace
Opening sequence very much inspired by Homeland it would seem!
Lol I thought the same thing
Where’s the crazy gurl?
I can still hear Nick Berg's screams in my head. I didn't realize what I was about to see when I clicked play. I was very naive to the internet when that happened. That was so horrible.
All the innocent people on all sides that have been killed bc of all this. So pointless.
It fixes nothing and only brings pain, sadness and breeds another generations hate and anger toward one another.
Nick berg was a money launderer for white supremacist groups.. info's hard to find but that's why it happened

That Yank claiming that the Americans had good intentions would be hilarious except for the tragedy they were responsible for!
America only does what is best for America. They are loathsome.
Some similar material appears in CNN's recent "Blindsided: How ISIS Shook The World" (available on Daily Motion) especially the Camp Bucca disaster. This doc is more nuanced, detailed and (with part two) considerably longer. Popular mainstream debate (if you can call it that) and reportage on this intractable issue is clouded with jingoistic retaliatory fervour and ultimately remains dangerously devoid of critical historical analysis.
Thank you Alex, I'll take "How to sound like a douchebag leftist Islamist idiot by overusing adjectives" for $1000

cnn can only tell stories from the western left side and not the encompassing total reality
Sounds like George Orwell's book Animal Farm.

Nice intro
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The US has always been in an un winnable position.
i agree. brutal dictators retain control of their countries and populations are suprresed. however, by removing them like we did with saddam, we created so much destruction and a power vacuum that a sectarian civil war started and is likely to not end in our lifetimes. i feel sorry for the innocent civilians and people that are just trying to live their lives in the region. a sad state of affairs.
hence why i said "unwinnable"
We never should have invaded Iraq. Our leaders were never even honest with us, as to why we were over there in the first place.
The US and EU provided ISIS with money, weapons, vehicles! A coalition of 65 countries couldn't do anything against them untill the day Russia step in.
1 country did more damage to ISIS within first 3 months than this so called coalition during 4 years. That's all you need to know about coalition and the US "help".
They called them terrorists and yet helped them and provided with all the resources to continue a war against Syrian people and Assad.
the fact is.
the ISIS was created by Syrian Regime for weaken the Syrian opposition. If ISIS was never formed the civil war ends in 2013 with a FSA victory. If ISIS was never formed the US armed FSA could easily defeat ASSADS loyalists.
edit: The russian propagandists of youtube are deleted the video which contained the Syrian Regime admitted that they are created ISIS. The russian propaganda was infected the people very very fast. I don’t understand the people why they don’t realize that ISIS started weakening opposition forces when the opposition almost won. And they didn't attacked Assad's forces, they attacked the opposition ONLY.
@@bencenemeth2456 ISIS was created by Syrian Regime? The dumbest thing I've ever heard.

whats the name of the documentary where Shehzad Hameed Ahmad went into Isis territory undercover
If human beings put their efforts into living by spiritual principles (kindness, loving, tolerant, compassionate, empathetic) and less into religion and it's rules and expectations that were created by man to control people using fear and shame, the world would be a much nicer place to be. Religion has become nothing more than another means by which humanity can separate and divide ourselves from one another. There is only one God. What mask we put on it is immaterial. Unfortunately, human beings in our inability to see clearly that we are all one, and all God's children, has somehow been fooled into believing that we all believe in different Gods. Our imperfect humanness has turned religion into something that divides us and something in which we create pain and suffering for those who are in the minority considering what part of the world in which you live. Religion has become a means to suffering. It's too bad we can't just all focus our attention inward into what we need to change within ourselves instead of trying to change others into what we think they should be. Instead of trying to get people to see the world the way we see the world. Instead of trying to get people to accept the God that we accept as the one true God. What's sad is that everybody makes their choices and decisions based on their past experiences, their religious indoctrination as children, their world view that's been shaped by their experiences. The result is that each person fighting and dying to support what they think is right, truly believes that they're fighting for what's right. Perception is reality. We all perceive the world and God differently because we've all experienced life differently. I can't expect people from another part of the world to see the world the way I see the world because that would require that they have experienced life the way I've experienced it. Of course Iraqis are angry at America for what America did to their country in our attempts to oust Saddam from power. The US's intention was good. To oust a dictator who had oppressed his people for decades. It was America's intention to help Iraqis. To give Iraq to it's people. To give Iraqis the ability to self determination and to give them hope for the future. There was a lot of short sightedness. Of course those who fought American troops did so because they perceived Americans as an occupying force. They also questioned our motives and intentions. How could they trust that this was really about freeing Iraq from a dictator? Was it really about oil and about a hidden objective? Human beings are selfish and when you inject the imperfect human condition into the mix, they you have the recipe for conflict. Al Qaeda was a response to the US abandoning Afghanistan after the Soviets withdrew in 83 and left Afghanistan in shambles. The US Congress voted against helping the Afghan people rebuild their roads, hospitals, schools, infrastructure. It was a very clear indicator that American involvement in Afghanistan wasn't really about helping the Afghan people against Communist aggression, but rather to stop what the US government perceived was Communism sweeping westward. It was evidence that the US was only funding Afghan militias because of selfish and self serving interests. OBL saw this clearly after the US abandon the Afghan people and that's when radical Islamic fundamentalists turned their attention and anger towards the west. Also, the US support for Israel and the US's disinterest in stopping Israeli's from continuing to build on Palestinian land has also not helped the perception by Muslims that American involvement in the Middle East is fair and impartial. With the American occupation of Iraq and the subsequent destruction by the many groups vying for power of Iraq, groups like ISIL were destined to flourish and prosper. The whole thing is a mess and it's sad that as human beings we've all failed to protect the truly innocent and helpless, which our the women and children. So much suffering and so much hatred. And it's all justified with religion. If only we could all just get back to living selflessly and caring about each other. Looking at each other from the perspective of the challenged and struggles we face. As much as I hate groups like ISIL, I have to admit that in their hearts they're only doing what they feel they need to do to protect their interests. They're doing what they do out of desperation. They feel that it's their only means by which to take what they need for survival. The Iraqi government alienated the Sunni population and rising up against what they believed was a oppressive Iraqi Shi'a government was they're last and only option. Again, if we could all just get back to this understanding that we're all one and we're all created and children of the one true God, whatever you call Him/Her/It, they world would be a much nicer place to live. Unfortunately, I think there's too much water under the bridge for that ever to happen. Sad...
May be they did not need rescuing the americans thought they needed rescuing to relive them for there oil and gas killed a counrty
James Boyle Your thinking is more nuanced than most people but you are missing some vital information to provide a fuller perspective: Given the history of US/UK/French involvement in the ME post WW2, there is a pattern of supporting radical Islamists and radical nationalists/dictators by western powers, as a tactic to...
A. Fight proxy war (as in the case of Afghanistan with islamists)
B. To prevent democracy and autonomy so as to control price of oil, minerals and other resources as well as geopolitical advantage. (As in KSA With their theocracy, in Iraq with Saddam, in Libya with Ghaddafi, etc).
C. To keep the nationalist dictators they’ve selected in check using Islamist groups as a threat to their power.
D. To divide and rule
E. As in case of Islamists- to destabilise the region to gain control of resources, fight proxy war, gain geopolitical advantages
There are other factors. To understand US strategy in the region wrt islamists, I recommend “Secret Affairs: Britain’s Collusion with Radical Islam, by Mark Curtis. It’s been very well researched, based on declassified government documents, accounts from high officials in Security, historical documents, etc. It’s been praised by Chomsky, Pilger and others. Really worth a read to fully grasp why there is such a proliferation of islamists. Britain’s strategic model is identical to that of the US in so far as supporting islamists go. Unfortunately this Al Jazeera is just more obfuscation.
I believe people have a natural proclivity toward moderation, to wanting freedom and progress, and toward greater spirituality. Under 1000 years of Islamic rule in many regions accords the world, Islam was practised in a spiritual way with great emphasis on debating ideas and encouraging progress, when there wasn’t war or great strife. People reach for a more ossified religiosity when they feel their lives spinning out of control since it gives them a psychological sense of structure when all else is in chaos.
Then take responsibility of your own Fights, Government, and People. Don't invite other countries to fight your battle then cry victim. You don't get to do that especially when the USA spend Trillions, used our American citizen military, and gave you Arms. Stop the bull!
It’s all by design... in order for the elite world leaders to maintain power they need the people have an enemy to distract them from the fact that the world leaders live in luxury and opulence, and get to do whatever they want with no consequences... while us the little people have to fight to survive... our anger should be at the elite and everyone who protects them...
Steve Lyons yup but who has the US? ... who owns America? Who is really in control? Who owns the federal reserve? Who benefits from the extraction of the lands natural resources? ... the joke is definitely on America here... how many people would accept that the UAE and the SAUDI ARABIAN ROYAL FAMILY own the USA and the federal reserve? ... how many people would be paying their taxes and fighting in war knowing they are serving the SADUIS?!
Mowaffak is an artist at making himself the hero prophet in every single critical moment of the past. Man, it's a good thing the US left Iraq so that he and his government could turn it into the cultural uptopia free of mismanagement that it is today.

Ali Khedery 👍👍👍 impressive.
How did Al-Rubaie benefit from Debathification? It seems that he's so criticical of the process, yet due to his position he it seems he benefited a great deal.
I wish the role of various foreign secret services in insurgency and terrorism would have been part of this documentary, but excellently done nonetheless.

Buried in a garden under his sons orders, dug up with the Blueprints for the centrifuge, the component which no Nuke becomes viable in it's absence, the long range missiles were paid for to be provided by N Korea. Your emoji's are applicable to self deprecation, exclusively. War on each group or individual who justify killing those who hold a different view to that of fanatics who refuse to be content with their own belief and seek to force the entire human population to believe as they do while pointing an AKG at our children as they seek to destroy their future. Shoot every last 1 of them, start with the vermin who send their own children to be martyrs with assurances that their suicide vest explodes outwards and they will survive to return home. Just saying
Removing Saddam was a mistake he kept the middle east in check and now the US is the war criminal in the 21st century.
Ya
ISIL we’re are you now??destroyed on the battlefield.jerry brammer made the biggest mistake by standing down the Iraq army,and the bad part of the army the bathest .they blow up their own people kidnapped their own people & generally terrorised their own people.pure evil.the younger generation helped destroy the former bathest army members & ISIL,the new Iraqi army(mostly younger Iraqi recruits)these men were brave and did not give any ground to these criminals,these young men were heroes of their be loved country.peace to Iraq from a friend from uk 🇬🇧 ☮️💕🙏💛

Can't they look at high school like camp buka?
True that Isis is the remnant of “centuries of power, privilege, and patronage” in Saddam’s Baathist state.
And the remnants of the Iraqi army that the US had enveigled to stand down, while they invaded to get 'just Saddam!'
But was then betrayed by the west
Yeah you know😅hiw bout Cheney, Powell and co
The Shi'a behaved in a very emotional way. Yes they were tortured by Saddam but that too fueld secretarial violence.
They should've focused on unity but instead they chose to assassinate Saddam. Who shocking still had support
The US must understand that Governance differs from country to country. what worked in America may not work in Iraq. There isnt a template of democracy each country is unique.
ISIS: Sorry merica The Enemy of your Enemy is still your Enemy even worse in this case🤣🤣
The fall of Hussein has actually worsened the situation 😳
America is part of the biggest problems and are criminals themselves.
In other words we should have gotten involved!!!
what i want to know is after the defeat of iraq what happened to the oil reserves in that country did the west get it or
did the people or iraq benefit from there own oil fields ?.
You must be joking
