What is Isis in ancient Hebrew society?

Answer 1

Isis, as both the Egyptian goddess and the current Islamic State have absolutely no relevance to "Hebrew Society" be it Ancient Israelites or Modern Israelis.

Isis as a goddess was part of the Egyptian pantheon of gods. The Israelites did not consistently worship "Yahweh", but the other gods that were sometimes worshiped, like Baal, Asherah, El Elyon, etc. were from the Levantine pantheon of gods, ones that were shared among Canaanites, Arameans, and Phoenicians. Isis had no relevance to Israelites.

Islamic State, more properly titled the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or ad-Dawla al-Eslamiyya al-3iraaq w'ash-Shaam (الدولة الإسلامية العراق والشام) or the acronym Daa3esh (داعش) in Arabic, is an extremist Sunni Islamist organization. It is important to clarify what Islamism is. While Islam is a religion (as described above) Islamism is a political ideology whose goal is to bring the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. Islamism is a modern movement whose roots began contemporaneously with the rise of Salafism in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Egypt. Islamic State practices a particularly violent form of Islamism called Jihadism, which not only wishes a particularly repressive version of Islamic Law to be instituted, but believes that violence in defense of the faith is the preferred way to do this. Jihadism, like Islamism, is a political ideology rooted in Islamic religious concepts, but distorted. The distortion here is that there are many ways to advocate on behalf of the faith and the choice to exclusively use violence is a misinterpretation of the doctrine. They are fighting to bring the Sunni majority into power, especially in Sunni majority regions of both Syria and Iraq, and impose a more fundamentalist view on politics. They consider themselves to be fighting the injustices and violence of the current Assad regime and the inequalities of the US-supported Government of Iraq. Israel has absolutely nothing to do with these cretins and is quite fearful of them turning their attentions towards Israel should they be successful in controlling Iraq and Syria.
