你可能听过 青年党恐怖组织，今年这个学期我们谈论了太多ISIS恐怖组织，他们有什么区别呢?

ISIS and al Qaeda have deep ties and along history. In fact, when ISIS begin during the fight against U.S. forces in Iraq, it was allied with al Qaeda and shared the name. It was called al Qaeda in Iraq. And there are other similarities and connections as well.

ISIS和青年党有很深的渊源和历史，事实上，当ISIS开始于美国在伊拉克军队对抗时与青年党是统一战线联盟，并分享同一个名字。在伊拉克都称为青年党。还有其他一些相似性和联系。

Both these groups sprung from long civil wars. Al Qaeda from the fight against Russian troops in Afghanistan. ISIS, the fight against American troops in Iraq and later against Bashir al-Assad in Syria.

这两个组织都从长期内战中分离出来，青年党来自阿富汗对抗俄罗斯军队组织，ISIS来自伊拉克对抗美国军队组织，后来转而对抗叙利亚巴希尔阿塞德。

Both groups seeking to establish an Islamic state, a so called caliphate. Also, both of them willing to establish that state to attack and use brutal violence against both non-Muslims, Americans, Westerners and Muslims as well.

两个组织队伍都在寻求建立一个伊斯兰国，一个所谓的哈里发。同样，双方都愿意建立国家攻击，利用残忍暴力手段对抗非穆斯林人，美国人，西方人，同时还有穆斯林人。

Non-Sunni Muslims, but really any Muslim that they consider not devout enough, not extreme enough.

非逊尼派穆斯林人，但是真正逊尼派人他们也极少相信，非常少。

But there are many differences, and it`s - some of these differences that greatly concern U.S. and other Western officials, ISIS has been able to seize and control much more territory than al Qaeda was ever capable of.

但是这有很多不同点，这些不同点中有一些是对美国和其他西方官员极其相关的要点，ISIS已经有足够能力控制青年党组织占有的领土。

Today, ISIS controls broad swaths of both Iraq and Syria.

现在，ISIS控制着伊拉克和叙利亚的生死存亡。

Two, U.S. officials tell me consistently that ISIS behaves and seizes and controls territory very much like a military force, not just a terrorist organization. They are much more difficult to fight.

第二点，美国官员一直告诉我说ISIS行为和占有土地行为就像是一个军事力量所为，并不像是一个恐怖组织。他们更难对付。

Three, ISIS is largely self-funding. It operates as a government in the territory that it controls issuing taxes. It also uses extortion and theft to get money and it even sails oil in areas like it has captured in Iraq and Syria. And by some estimates it`s making a $1000000 a day or more.

第三点，ISIS有充足的资金配备。它还运用敲诈盗窃来收集钱财，甚至对已经占领的伊拉克和叙利亚进行石油出口。据估计其每天可获益一百万美元以上。

Finally, although there were some Westerners who joined al-Qaeda, Anwar al- Awlaki among them, ISIS has proven a much more powerful magnet for Westerners and Americans. It`s now believed U.S. intelligence officials say that something along the lines of a dozen Americans have joined ISIS and dozens more have joined other extremist groups in Syria. And the great concern is what happens when those Americans, when those Europeans come home. Do they bring Jihad with them?

最后一点，尽管一些西方人加入了青年党，安瓦尔基地，ISIS证明了其对西方人和美国人就像是一块强大的磁铁。现在美国情报机构官员称十几个美国人已经加入了ISIS统一战线，数十人加入了叙利亚其他极端组织。让人更多关心的是这些美国人身上后来发生了什么，什么时候这些欧洲人才可以回家，他们会把圣战组织分子带回国么?

You`ve heard of the al Qaeda terrorist group. This school year we`ve been talking more about ISIS. What is the difference?

ISIS and al Qaeda have deep ties and along history. In fact, when ISIS begin during the fight against U.S. forces in Iraq, it was allied with al Qaeda and shared the name. It was called al Qaeda in Iraq. And there are other similarities and connections as well.

Both these groups sprung from long civil wars. Al Qaeda from the fight against Russian troops in Afghanistan. ISIS, the fight against American troops in Iraq and later against Bashir al-Assad in Syria.
