Very few people these days have
jobs and even fewer among those who have it, have the gall to disown them in
favor of heading towards unknown territories or wherever passion takes them. To
survive in these territories, mere guts won’t help. You have to be the
brightest and the best in the business.
During the annual meet of the
Conférence Internationale Affaires (CIA) held in Munich, the entrepreneurship
awards were distributed. Entrepreneurs from all fields who have thrived and
whose works have touched the lives of many were invited. CEO's and founder of
many Forbes 500 were also present and graced the environment with their
presence. Google founder delivered the keynote address. He stressed the
importance of role of IT and how it has potential to change the lives of poor
living in the slums of Dharavi. However, the show stealer this year was the
newbie who won the Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Any guesses, anyone? You
guessed it. It was Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi- head and founder of a company known as
ISIS.
It started as an organization,
subordinate to Al-Qaeda, the company that prepares 'Jihadists' to terrorize non
believers i.e. people who don’t believe in Al-Qaeda. Till 2013, Al-Qaeda had
near monopoly in the field of terror. It had stakes in most of the terror firms
that are listed on the Swat Stock Exchange. Smaller corporations like ‘Taliban
and sons’ and ‘Chechnya separatists’ that do not boast of a multinational
presence also owed their cash flows to Al Qaeda. It has academic institutions
set up where it trains many unemployed youths free of cost and specialize them
in terror. Many people are of the opinion that the conditions in these
educational institutions are unhealthy, but Al-Qaeda had always denied it. It
maintains that freshers are given the
best of facilities and are regularly supplied with all kinds of drugs. They
took pride in being able to brainwash youths from diverse backgrounds to serve
their investors' cause. However, things started changing when ISIS broke away
from its parent organization. Right now, ISIS is the figurehead of terrorism,
replacing Al-Qaeda, although Al-Qaida still controls the training centers and
is trying to kickstart in South Asia.
Abu Baghdadi is cold blooded and
inhuman, qualities very necessary to be successful in this business. Under him,
ISIS corp. has adapted a strategy much more aggressive than its predecessor.
Within a year of its formation, ISIS corp. has scaled new heights and currently
controls huge property in Iraq and Syria. Baghdadi, a keen observer saw huge
potential in the Arab world, with rampant illiteracy, lack of infrastructure
and poverty. The glistening market that the US created was all left to exploit.
Scholars believe that his policies are not as innovative as they are deemed to
be. Hitler was able to convince the bruised esteem Germans to get similar
results. With sheer brutality, dehumanization and guns, the ISIS continues to
expand and diversify and is on the cusp of becoming a fully fledged government.
However the road from now is full of thorns for him. Many organizations that have
direct conflict of interest with the growth of ISIS, like the Normal Human
Beings Organization, Institution of Non Psychopaths etc are gearing up and ISIS
faces stiff competition ahead. Facing
such stiff competition, the future of ISIS might be the very thing it
specializes in- Death.
