It is an insurgent terrorist group of fundamentalist Jihadist Wahhabi (takfirista) type formed by radicals faithful to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who in June of 2014 proclaimed the caliphate from the Iraqi city of Mosul asking for loyalty to all the Muslims of the world.

Some sources consider it a protoestado, since they place under this denomination a vast territory between Iraq and Syria, with cities like Mosul or Al Raqa where they locate its capital.

Fallujah was the first city that came under the control of EI in Iraq, on January 2014, it was re conquered by the Iraqi army backed by Russian air strikes on June 17, 2016 after several weeks of military offensive.

The flag represents a sacred symbol for the Islamic State. The power of the flag comes from the fact that the word Allah is in it. The word itself is seen as sacred by Muslims and, therefore, it becomes a sacrilege to desecrate the flag. The flag is black background with white letters, at the top in Arabic letters reads the phrase, "there is no god but Allah". At the bottom inscribed in a circle are the words "Muhammad is the messenger of God".
