| dc.description.abstract | A terrorist organization with a strong ideological presence is not totally vanquished just
by the death of its members and the group’s dormancy. According to multiple works of
literature, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is considered as an inspiration by many
other extremist groups and is blamed for the resurgence and rebirth of various terrorist
groups around the world, in various forms and factions. Despite the loss of territorial
presence in 2017, ISIS began to re-emerge in 2018. Notwithstanding e cient and successful
counter-ISIS measures by regional and international actors, the terrorist group is still
actively reconstructing in Iraq and Syria using its most sophisticated propaganda which is
challenging to counter. The goal of this research is to provide light on ISIS as a whole and
the propaganda used by the group that led to it becoming the world’s most destructive
terrorist organization. This is a qualitative research based on secondary sources with an
analytical approach to the research problem. Drawing on the group’s history, actions, and
subsequent global reactions, an attempt is made to map the potential problems they pose
to the battle against terrorism by using a sophisticated mode of propaganda. This article
seeks to track the resurgence of ISIS despite being gradually weakened over the years due
to its strong propaganda campaign through modern and advanced methods. | en_US |
