This book examines online jihadist magazines, Inspire, Dabiq,
Rumiyah, and Gaidi Mtaani, published by three terrorist
organizations-Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Al-Shabaab-and their aggressive
promotion of the Caliphate, an Islamic system of world government
that seeks to create a new world order ruled by sharia. These
magazines have played an important role in the diffusion of
Islamist ideas such as jihad and sharia (Islamic law). Divided into
ten chapters, this book extends existing research by offering fresh
insights on the communicative strategies, radicalization processes,
and recruitment methods used by jihadist organizations as well as
their effects on readers. In particular, this book includes (1) the
application of communication theories and models to both global
jihad and online jihadist propaganda; (2) meticulous descriptions
of the four online jihadist magazines in question (in terms of
their missions, stylistic formats, and tactics), including excerpts
from each magazine; (3) a thorough explanation of the jihadisphere
(e.g., as a vehicle for extreme propaganda and an overarching
"training manual" for jihad); (4) the procedures and complexities
of online Islamic radicalization; and (5) strategies to combat
online jihadist magazines (e.g., by developing counter-narratives
and online counter-radicalization magazines).
