Abstract

EN The article presents the Islamic State as a source of terrorist threats. In the eyes of ISIS fighters, the Western world is tantamount to moral corruption, and the lack of any values. By its actions, ISIS aims at pushing the followers of other religions out of the areas defined in the prophecies in the name of cleansing the world from evil. The author analyzes the activity of Islamic extremists in the context of the great wave of migration to Europefrom the Middle East region.This phenomenon influenced changes in the international security environment, especially in the European Union countries. The author shows how ISIS, using ideology, pushes Islamic fundamentalists to prepare terrorist attacks. Combating such threats poses major challenges for anti-terrorist services.
