Q18. As you may know, Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL is an extremist rebel group which controls territory in Iraq and Syria and has operations in other
areas of the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Its stated objective is to establish a "Caliphate", or an Islamic state, led by a group of religious
authorities under a supreme leader. Regardless of how it is going about achieving this, to what extent do you support or oppose the objective to create an Islamic state?
