Propaganda of Islamic state in the Digital Age

Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of 20th century the so-called political Islam has acquired diverse and at the same time enigmatic shapes. This could have various causes like being an underground movement or cultural policies of the Western countries. However, it is quite clear that, in contrast to some expectations,1 since the beginning of 21st century and especially since the rise of terroristic organization Islamic state in the Middle East, military jihad movement of political Islam has gained profound attention. Almost countless atrocities performed by Islamic state and the excessive brutality of it has diverged focus from the ideological and religious foundations of the group.2 The slip of focus has created impression that violence is purely senseless and just a means without any end. Such viewpoint lacks justification, even though it is easily understandable as the victims can hardly distance themselves just to spot any ideas.
