Abstract
method. By using profound studies in ISIS and its patrons' related writings and texts, this research sets out a novel study about ISIS. This research aims to identify the latent layer of ISIS formation and expansion in Iraq and the role of Saudi Arabia in ISIS expansion. The current study uses the ontological security theory and Giddens`concept of "protective cocoon" to find out why ISIS rose and spread in Iraq. Findings show that Saudi Arabia, as the leading supporter of the takfiris, played a crucial role in expanding ISIS. Saudi Arabia follows a danger emancipation strategy to obtain strategic stability and constant security, compete and make regional equilibrium by strategic hegemony. This strategy refers to release from Takfiri groups danger inside Saudi Arabia and send their danger into other countries. In other words, Saudi Arabia, as the primary origin of Takfiri terrorism, tries to displace potential interior threatening into real privileges. Saudi Arabia uses this policy by replacing and exporting Takfiri terrorism to other countries. The findings of this article show that besides different aims that Saudi Arabia -as the prominent supporter of Takfiri groups- pursues in Iraq, the main objective is to release its regimes from the danger of interior groups by displacing and export them outside of their motherhood territory. This policy helped the expansion of ISIS in Iraq. Still, in the long term, Saudi Arabia society's interior threatening and conflicts will not be decreased and will remain an internal danger for the Saudi Arabia regime.
