Diplomats from around the world pledged to fight ISIS
militants "by any means necessary" as Iraq asked allies to thwart the
extremists wherever they find sanctuary. Iran and the United States
ruled out co-ordinating with each other, leaving Baghdad's government
caught between two powerful and antagonistic allies.
Neither Iran nor Syria, which together share most of Iraq's borders, was invited to the international conference in Paris, which opened as a pair of French reconnaissance jets took off over Iraqi skies. But the U.S. State Department left open the possibility of new discussions with Iran later in the week, while precluding any military co-operation.
"We are asking for airborne operations to be continued regularly against terrorist sites. We must not allow them to set up sanctuaries. We must pursue them wherever they are. We must cut off their financing. We must bring them to justice and we must stop the fighters in neighbouring countries from joining them," President Fouad Massoum said.
"The threat is global and the response must be global," French President François Hollande said, opening the diplomatic conference intended to come up with an international strategy against the group. "There is no time to lose."
The killing of David Haines, a British aid worker held hostage by the militants, added urgency to the calls for a coherent strategy against the brutal and well-organized Sunni group, which is a magnet for Muslim extremists from all over the world.
The group, also known as Islamic State or ISIL, rakes in more than $3 million US a day from oil smuggling, human trafficking, theft and extortion, according to U.S. intelligence officials and private experts.
Massoum called for a co-ordinated military and humanitarian approach, as well as regular strikes against territory in the hands of the extremists and the elimination of their funding.
He said more needs to be done to stop the flow of foreign fighters
into the Middle East conflict, and said Canada will be conducting
military airlifts out of the Czech Republic to supply Kurdish fighters
in northern Iraq with arms and ammunition.
Back in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper called ISIS "evil" and "vile" in a speech to party faithful on the first day of Parliament after the summer recess.
"Canadians are rightly sickened by ISIL's savage slaughter of anyone who doesn't share their twisted view of the world,' Harper told Conservative supporters. "We know their ideology is not the result of 'social exclusion' or other so-called root causes. It is evil, vile, and must be unambiguously opposed."
Harper's veiled reference to Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who spoke about terrorism's "root causes" in the wake of last year's Boston Marathon bombing, was met by a ripple of laughter.
"So, I hope you feel that the push and the risk was worth it," Kerry said.
"We are beginning to feel it," Massoum said through a translator.
Fighters with ISIS, including many Iraqis, swept in from Syria and overwhelmed the Iraqi military in the Sunni-dominated Anbar province, capitalizing on long-standing grievances against the Shia-led government in Baghdad.
When the militants arrived in Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, the U.S.-trained military crumbled and the militants seized tanks, missile launchers and ammunition, steamrolling across northern Iraq. The CIA estimates the Sunni militant group has access to between 20,000 and 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria.
Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, speaking on Iranian
state television, said his government privately refused American
requests for co-operation against the Islamic State group, warning that
another U.S. incursion would result "in the same problems they faced in
Iraq in the past 10 years."
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki declined to comment on specifics of any U.S. approaches to Iran, but said "we are not and will not co-ordinate militarily." Psaki said it was possible that U.S. and Iranian officials would be able to touch on the problem of Islamic State militants later in the week in New York.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov insisted Monday that Syria and Iran are "natural allies" in the fight against the extremists, and therefore must be engaged, according to Russian news agencies.
"The extremists are trying to use any disagreements in our positions to tear apart the united front of states acting against them," he said.
Iraq's president, who has said he regretted Iran's absence, appeared ambivalent about Arab participation, saying his country needed the support of its neighbours — but not necessarily their fighter jets or soldiers.

Kerry reinforces support for Iraqi government
After the Paris conference ended Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met privately with Massoum at the Iraqi Embassy in Paris, telling him that the drive for an inclusive Iraq government had been key to Monday's pledges."So, I hope you feel that the push and the risk was worth it," Kerry said.
"We are beginning to feel it," Massoum said through a translator.

Muslim-majority countries considered vital
Muslim-majority countries are considered vital to any operation to prevent the militants from gaining more territory in Iraq and Syria. Western officials have made clear they consider Syrian President Bashar al-Assad part of the problem, and U.S. officials opposed France's attempt to invite Iran, a Shia nation, to the conference in Paris.

World powers pledge to crush ISIS militants

An
international coalition took shape in Paris on Monday, with 29
countries coming together against the ISIS (Islamic State Syria and
the Levant).
Monday's conference came just a day after ISIS released a video of the beheading of a British aid worker, 44-year-old David Haines. He was the third Western hostage to be killed by the militant group. Earlier, two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, were also killed by the ISIS.
French President François Hollande said Iraqi territory was not the
sole territory affected and called for a “global response” to what he
said was a “global problem”.
All countries agreed in principle on the use of “whatever means necessary” whether military, financial or humanitarian. Prior to the hosting the conference, France had agreed to conduct air strikes “if necessary" and two Rafale jets had flown over Iraq from Abu Dhabi for reconnaissance missions on Monday morning.
Spelling out the broad ideas world leaders agreed to on Monday, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius said, “The Daesh (ISIS) movement is neither a state nor is it representative of Islam. It’s an extremely dangerous movement that should be pushed back and destroyed”. The delegates pledged full support to the Iraqi government led by President Fuad Masum who said the terrorists were using new strategies to perpetrate “massacres and crimes that should be considered genocide”.
President Hollande made an appeal to the international community to find a sustainable solution for Syria where, he pointed out, the militant group was “born” and where the 3-year-old crisis has led to 200,000 dead. Hollande said Lebanon’s sovereignty was also under threat and it had already received 2 million Syrian refugees. He confirmed that France and Saudi Arabia had agreed to help Lebanon by beefing up its army’s capabilities.
The recruitment of fighters from 51 countries across the globe, including Europe, was spoken of as a major challenge. It was emphasised that the threat is not just to the countries that are under direct attack but also to the Middle East, Europe and the rest of the world.
However, several difficult questions were left unanswered. ISIS is holding 49 Turkish hostages, which is why Turkey, that shares a long border with Iraq and Syria, has refused the use of its air bases for strikes. The US kept Iran out of the Paris conference nor does it want the country to participate in the coalition. But Iran shares nearly 1500 kilometres of its border with Iraq. It’s also not clear if air strikes in Syria will be conducted and who would be in control once the mission will reach an end.
Is it IS, ISIS, ISIL or DAESH?
Islamic State in Iraq
The movement was born with this name in 2006. It was a coalition of several jihadi militants.
IS (Islamic State)
The group adopted this name recently. Large sections of the media use it but some insist it should be called “self-styled Islamic State”
ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria)
Also a name used frequently by world media. It clearly outlines the areas the group is most active in.
DAWLA: Al-Dawla Al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham is the Arabic name for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. The group added “al-Sham” to its name in 2013. The term loosely describes parts of territory in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Israel and Palestinian.
ISIL: Islamic State in Iraq and Levant. “Levant” is the English word for “Al-Sham” Barack Obama used this acronym last week and David Cameron on Sunday.
DAESH: Is the Arabic acronym of the "Islami State in Iraq and in Levant" and used in a pejorative sense by those against the so-called jihadis. The Iraqi President Fuad Masum and French President François Hollande used this acronym at the Paris conference on Monday.
World Leaders on ISIS
Barack Obama, US President
“We Will Degrade and Destroy ISIL.”
“To meet a threat like this, we have to be smart. We have to use our power wisely. And we have to avoid the mistakes of the past.”
“What’s needed now is a targeted, relentless counterterrorism campaign against ISIL that combines American air power, contributions from allies and partners, and more support to forces that are fighting these terrorists on the ground.”
David Cameron, UK Prime Minister
"It is an act of pure evil. My heart goes out to the family of David Haines who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude throughout this ordeal.”
"They boast of their brutality; they claim to do this in the name of Islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of peace. They are not Muslims, they are monsters.”
"We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes,"
Francois Hollande, French President
“Iraq’s fight against terrorism is also ours….And there is no time to lose”
“This terrorist movement calls on combatants from the entire world, and each country, including my own, is concerned. We should do everything to fight against the indoctrination of our young people, prevent their enrolment, break their jihadist networks, deprive Daech (ISIS) of it’s resources and punish all those associated with them, whether far or close.”
Fuad Masum, Iraqi President
Daesh (ISIS) are “blood thirsty”
“Daesh thinking is simply this: either you are with us or we will kill you”
“These criminals are experts at the brainwashing of young people in these regions. They control and prepare them for terrorist actions. They use modern technology to spread propaganda and terror through the internet and social media networks.”

ISIS is holding 49 Turkish hostages, which is why Turkey, that shares a long border with Iraq and Syria, has refused the use of its air bases for strikes. The US kept Iran out of the Paris conference nor does it want the country to participate in the coalition. But Iran shares nearly 1500 kilometres of its border with Iraq. It’s also not clear if air strikes in Syria will be conducted and who would be in control once the mission will reach an end.
Is it IS, ISIS, ISIL or DAESH?
Islamic State in Iraq
The movement was born with this name in 2006. It was a coalition of several jihadi militants.
IS (Islamic State)
The group adopted this name recently. Large sections of the media use it but some insist it should be called “self-styled Islamic State”
ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria)
Also a name used frequently by world media. It clearly outlines the areas the group is most active in.
DAWLA: Al-Dawla Al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham is the Arabic name for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. The group added “al-Sham” to its name in 2013. The term loosely describes parts of territory in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Israel and Palestinian.
ISIL: Islamic State in Iraq and Levant. “Levant” is the English word for “Al-Sham” Barack Obama used this acronym last week and David Cameron on Sunday.
DAESH: Is the Arabic acronym of the "Islami State in Iraq and in Levant" and used in a pejorative sense by those against the so-called jihadis. The Iraqi President Fuad Masum and French President François Hollande used this acronym at the Paris conference on Monday.
World Leaders on ISIS
Barack Obama, US President
“We Will Degrade and Destroy ISIL.”
“To meet a threat like this, we have to be smart. We have to use our power wisely. And we have to avoid the mistakes of the past.”
“What’s needed now is a targeted, relentless counterterrorism campaign against ISIL that combines American air power, contributions from allies and partners, and more support to forces that are fighting these terrorists on the ground.”
David Cameron, UK Prime Minister
"It is an act of pure evil. My heart goes out to the family of David Haines who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude throughout this ordeal.”
"They boast of their brutality; they claim to do this in the name of Islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of peace. They are not Muslims, they are monsters.”
"We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes,"
Francois Hollande, French President
“Iraq’s fight against terrorism is also ours….And there is no time to lose”
“This terrorist movement calls on combatants from the entire world, and each country, including my own, is concerned. We should do everything to fight against the indoctrination of our young people, prevent their enrolment, break their jihadist networks, deprive Daech (ISIS) of it’s resources and punish all those associated with them, whether far or close.”
Fuad Masum, Iraqi President
Daesh (ISIS) are “blood thirsty”
“Daesh thinking is simply this: either you are with us or we will kill you”
“These criminals are experts at the brainwashing of young people in these regions. They control and prepare them for terrorist actions. They use modern technology to spread propaganda and terror through the internet and social media networks.”
Monday's conference came just a day after ISIS released a video of the beheading of a British aid worker, 44-year-old David Haines. He was the third Western hostage to be killed by the militant group. Earlier, two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, were also killed by the ISIS.
All countries agreed in principle on the use of “whatever means necessary” whether military, financial or humanitarian. Prior to the hosting the conference, France had agreed to conduct air strikes “if necessary" and two Rafale jets had flown over Iraq from Abu Dhabi for reconnaissance missions on Monday morning.
Spelling out the broad ideas world leaders agreed to on Monday, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius said, “The Daesh (ISIS) movement is neither a state nor is it representative of Islam. It’s an extremely dangerous movement that should be pushed back and destroyed”. The delegates pledged full support to the Iraqi government led by President Fuad Masum who said the terrorists were using new strategies to perpetrate “massacres and crimes that should be considered genocide”.
President Hollande made an appeal to the international community to find a sustainable solution for Syria where, he pointed out, the militant group was “born” and where the 3-year-old crisis has led to 200,000 dead. Hollande said Lebanon’s sovereignty was also under threat and it had already received 2 million Syrian refugees. He confirmed that France and Saudi Arabia had agreed to help Lebanon by beefing up its army’s capabilities.
