The ISIS network uses a sophisticated terrorist propaganda on Internet strategy

The Jihadists broadcast messages in several languages, have accounts on social networks and calculate dates for publications

In matters of Propaganda, the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) knows his job. The audio message came on Sunday night on the Internet, a statement of 34 ISIS spokesman minutes, Abu Mohamed al Adnani, impressed by the quality of the recording. With the mellow tone of a reciter of the Quran, announces that with which jihadists long dream: the creation of an Islamic caliphate.

Almost at the same time, ISIS Internet distributed English translations, German, French and Russian. The message behind the message is clear: ISIS is not directed only to the believers in Syria and Iraq, but also to Muslims worldwide.

He was also well chosen time of message. The alleged return of the caliphate was announced by the ISIS not only on the first day of the month of Ramadan but just two days before the new Iraqi Parliament convenes (Today) for the first time in the capital, Baghdad.

The constitution of Parliament is accompanied by a bitter dispute between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds on the future prime minister of the country. Here also can be understood the message of the ISIS:while "infidels" are fighting each other and Iraq falls apart, Jihadists, "true believers", demonstrate strength and power. At ISIS him wine rather than the Iraqi army offensive against the terrorist group in the Iraqi city of Tikrit has slowed the weekend.

The German translation of the audio message, for example, you have 39 pages. Extremists even added footnotes and instructions to translate the Arabic alphabet to the German. The text is full of theological explanations and describes the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the new caliph Ibrahim.

Is "duty for every Muslim" to swear loyalty and support ", says the message. The Caliphate it extends from the Syrian city of Aleppo to the Iraqi Diyala. "Oh Muslims' Call spokesman ISIS their listeners, apúrense y reúnanse [around his caliph] so that they can return to what they were for years, kings and knights World War”.

The reference is clear and has to do with the early days of Islam, when the followers of the Prophet Muhammad conquered after his death in the year 632 huge territories and created a kingdom whose main political and religious leader was, at least in the formal, Caliph. The Caliphate ended in 1924 with the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Many believers associate the old caliphate with the golden ages of Islam, when Muslims ruled large territories and not felt as now under the yoke of secular Western powers. The stated goal is to return to the "one true Islam" from the time of Muhammad. How to read this for ISIS was made clear in his message of the weekend: in a town east of the Syrian city of Aleppo were executed and crucified eight men.
