The Islamic State
(ISIS) regularly puts out a glossy propaganda magazine aimed at recruiting
jihadists from the West. It is sophisticated, slick, beautifully produced and
printed in several languages including English.
See all the
magazine's issues below.
'Dabiq' as it is
called, bills itself as "a periodical magazine focusing on the issues oftawhid (unity), manhaj (truth-seeking), hijrah (migration),jihad (holy war) and jama'ah(community).
It will also contain photo reports, current events, and informative articles on
matters relating to the Islamic State."
It portrays the Islamic State as they see themselves: boasting
of their victories and painting a romantic image of the restoration of an
Islamic golden age and the heralding of a "glorious" new caliphate based on holy war.
Dabiq is a place in
Syria that is supposed to be the location for one of the final battles
according to certain Muslim myths about a
final apocalypse. Choosing such a name for the
magazine highlights the caliphate's goals.
Issues of Dabiq released so
far:
The ninth issue of the Islamic
State's Dabiq magazine is called They Plot and Allah Plots,
referring to the central feature of the magazine which argues that Islamic
State supporters should not fear any plans to defeat them since Allah controls
the world. The issue focuses on legitimacy - both attacking that of its enemies
in Syria and the surrounding Arab nations, and in building up its own, with
pieces on the importance of jihad.
Most shockingly
this issue ran a lengthy segments admitting to and justifying sex slavery. It
threatens to sell US first Lady Michelle Obama into sexual slavery for a third
of a dinar.
The eighth issue of the Islamic
State's Dabiq magazine is called Shari'ah Alone
Will Rule Africa. Like other issues of Dabiq it
focuses on Islamic State successes, leaving out the group's defeats in
strategic areas of Iraq and Syria to focus on Africa. It emphasizes the pledge
of allegiance from Boko Haram in Nigeria and terror attacks in Libya and
Tunisia. It tries to portray an organization with a future by glorifying its
child soldier program and undermining the legitimacy of Al-Qaeda affiliat
Jabhat al-Nusra by attacking its allies as 'nationalists' and therefore
un-Islamic. 
The seventh issue of the Islamic
State's Dabiq magazine is entitled From Hypocrisy
to Apostasy. It begins with a declaration of war against Japan. Dabiq
then boasts about the murder of the Jordanian pilot by immolation, before going
on to give advice for would be leaders within the Islamic State. It reiterates
their commitments to war, arguing that “Islam is the religion of the sword.” It
then proceeds to tout its successes in Egypt and Libya. It reiterates its
division of the world into two camps and includes interviews with jihadists and
hostage John Cantlie. 
The sixth issue of Dabiq is
called "Al-Qa'idah of Waziristan: A Testimony From Within." This
issue begins by taking responsibility for the terrorist attack in Sydney that
killed two at St. Martin's place and again calls on the Islamic State's
supporters worldwide to carry out killings of Westerners whenever and wherever
they can without revealing their intentions by discussing them. Most of the
rest of the magazine focuses on internal jihadi disputes, criticizing the
Islamic State's detractors from within the jihadi movement.
The fifth issue of Dabiq is
named after the Islamic State slogan, 'Remaining and Expanding.' In this
theme, it announces the expansion of the Islamic State into Sinai, Libya,
Yemen, Algeria and the Arabian Peninsula after accepting pledges of loyalty
(bay'ah) from terrorist groups there. It also announces the minting of gold
dinars and silver dirhams in order to separate it from the international fiat
currency markets and build the economy of the Islamist state. 
The fourth issue of Dabiq is
entitled "The Failed Crusade." It focuses on the attempts by
the U.S.-led coalition to counter the Islamic State and mocks what the
Islamists regard as a campaign doomed to fail. They express their certainty
saying "This religion is the one promised with victory." The picture
on the cover is of the iconic St. Peter's Square in Rome, displaying the
group's ambitions of world conquest.
The third issue
of Dabiq, "The Call to Hijrah" focuses on
the jihadists' call to Muslims worldwide to move to Iraq and Syria to join the
caliphate as soon as possible. Hijrah is Arabic for 'migration' and
refers to the journey of the founder of Islam, Mohammed, and his companions
from Mecca to Medinah in 622 C.E. The comparison is very deliberate and
intended to invoke religious nostalgia.
The second issue
of Dabiq, "The Flood," uses the
metaphor of the story of Noah to put across a stark message: you are either
with the Islamic State, or against them and doomed to be destroyed. It calls on
all Muslims around the world to pledge loyalty to the Islamic State and to move
there immediately. There is also a section on the attempts to resolve the
disputes between the Islamic State and other Jihadi factions such as Jabhat
al-Nusra by means of mubahalah, an Islamic religious arbitration
process.
The first issue of Dabiq,
"The Return of Khilafah" is focused on
the declaration of the caliphate and what that means. Some of the ideology
behind the group is explained in an attempt to persuade more Muslims to join.
It also explains the name of the magazine, and boasts of ISIS' victories. It also talks about efforts made to build support among local
tribal groups, reporting their pledges of loyalty to Abu Bakr al-Baghadi, the
self-appointed caliph of the Islamic State.
In order to combat
extremist groups, it is important to understand their underlying ideology.
Therefore, Clarion Project will continue to post the issues of Dabiq here as they are released.

Time to wake up and
get educated on this before it's too late! These savages mean business and have
$Billions of oil money to support their ruthless Jihad.

We need to find the head of this
snake. Once we do that, we can take this beast down. Where do the grunts get
their orders from? The bulk of their money is not from oil. They do not even
operate any refineries. They are selling raw stuff for dirt cheap to Turkey
taken across the border in trucks; but, it is worth the effort to find that
network and extinguish it too. The bulk of their financing comes from Saudi
Arabia and Qatar.
Understanding the simplistic minds of the slave, ISIS foot-soldiers, is as simple as picking up an elementary psychology book and doing some reading.

The Islamic world is more worried
about this worsening situation. The main targets of Isis are not Israel or non
Muslims but majority of the people who they kill are Muslims, Edword snowden
already said that thier leader got Training from isreal. May be this is a new
weapon of World Powers to carry on War on Terror and this time Middle East is
to destructed.

No. Dabiq is not named after the
apocalypse. The Dabiq plain in Syria was the site of the decisive battle
between the Turks and the Mameluks whereby the Ottokman invaded and ruled the
Arab world establishing a "Turkish Kalifat" in Istanbul.

I am a muslim and don't have that
much knowledge about the Islam but I do trust Allahu Almighty one and Huzurpak
(S.A.W) but i would like to know why we muslim have been killing innocent
people in the name of Jihad.
As much i know if anybody tries to spoil the Islam we should fight against to correct this but i think if we apply the all sunnah of Huzurpak (saw) then we don't need to be violent. I think we should obey what Islam teaches us !!! One day the Islam will take the world in its capture its true but not this way..The principles of Islam is enough to make others thinkable about that that there is only one religion Islam and only one God is ALLAH. but we should have to punctual about sunnat of Muhammad (SAW) .InshaAllah everything will be on track oneday but this type of violence act totally goes over my mind.

Syria says the US coalition airstrikes
have done nothing to slow down or stop ISIS, which is then confirmed by the
articles in Dabiq. That is because US airstrikes were taking out Syrian
businesses, factories and oil infrastructure, oh, and innocent civilians -- not
ISIS.

Watching TV I see a lot of news
people telling us how to win this ISIS problem. These people need some
experience, they need to be sent where the ground war is, hand them stick to
protect themselves, this should stop them in asking the people in the US to give
up their weapons for protection. Instead of listening to yak yak yak, with some
of their experience in a war zone they come back and talk with some common
knowledge. Find ISIS funds and you'll cut off the snakes head, wake up people.

I agree, we need to get seriously
educated. All countries need to stand united and invade these extremists with
one major attack. They are human, there has got to be something that will get
their attention

"The enemy of my enemy is my
friend" We need to group up with the people that hate ISIS the most
·
We need to get after the Arms dealers
who are supplying the weapons

Misogynistic, nostalgic,
non-progressive, anti-equality, anti-democratic, testosterone-driven,
anti-anything that doesn't involve the absolute control of individuals and
mind-shaping by a bitterly intolerant patriarchal elite. What's not to love?

From every non violent muslim I keep
hearing that Daesh are not practicing muslims. They are simply misguided
murderers. And it is recommended that we do whatever we must and use whatever
tools we have to defeat them to bring true peace to any area they exist in.
