America's economy is now highly dependent on military production. The American military-industrial complex to achieve constant production, as any other industry, requires a market with sustainable consumption. Sustainable consumption of armaments means permanent war. Moreover, Huntington's Clash of Civilizations believes Islamic Civilization is the major threat to the Western Civilization. Considering these two points, American economic and political activities are concentrated on the establishment and maintaining a virtual enemy and creating an everlasting war in the Muslim world. To illuminate the formation of the ISIS in the Middle East during the last decade five main theories have been proposed. The theory favored by this paper explained that USA by establishment of terrorist groups such as ISIS creates a market for industrial products of military industrial complex in one hand and also resolves Huntington fears of Islamic civilization with such groups educated within Islamic civilization on the other hand. Statistical evidences concerning the growth of terrorist activities after the collapse of the former Soviet Union approve the present theory.
