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, ISIS is considered 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 efficient and successful counter-ISIS
measures by regional and international actors, the terrorist
group is still actively reconstructing Iraq and Syria using its
most sophisticated propaganda which is challenging to
counter. The goal of this research is to shed 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 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 |
