Translation: Al Qaeda’s new propaganda weapon

The Islamic State (IS) is known for its propaganda material, and among the terror groups, it has the strongest propaganda media, and its reach is higher than one’s expectations.

Since its fall in Iraq and Syria, the focus has been extensively on propaganda rather than running the outfit like a conventional terror group. If one were to look at the Indian scenario, it does not have its own modules, but they are inspired. Any three persons who follow the ideology of the Islamic State can come together and form a module.

Such a module is inspired by the outfit, but not funded by it. Even the creation of such a module is done by people with a common thought process, and the Islamic State does not even oversee the creation of such modules.
