I didn't realize you weren't old enough to know about them, my apologies.
ISIS and Al Qaeda are/were two Islamic Jihadi groups of the Middle East that caused us a lot of problems over the last two decades - they have been fairly checked in your life time, but for awhile there they were the "Russia/China" of importance and we even went into the countries they had established strongholds in to check their power; you might remember the American withdrawl of troops from Afghanistan a few years and the Talibans' assumption of power there?
Same dynamic and same war but just a different faction - and given the thousands of Americans they killed, the bombs in subways or public events, the thousands of Kurds they have forced into slavery and tens of thousands they have butchered, and their strict adherence to an extremely radical and fundamental branch of Islam should be a good indicator of why you shouldn't trust them.
