ISIS Magazine "Dabiq"

In a world ruled largely by media, it should not come as a surprise to realize that even the Islamic State, or ISIS, has their own magazine issue titled "Dabiq." In these magazines, there are many shots fired toward Christians, American soldiers, and even President Obama himself. According to the Clarion Project, the tenth issue is titled "They Plot and Allah Plots." In this magazine, the Islamic State supports and attempts to justify sexual slavery, even going as far as threatening to sell First Lady Michelle Obama into slavery. In the fifth issue, "The Failed Crusade", they state that their religion "is the one with promised victory." The cover is of the Vatican flying the flag representing ISIS, displaying their attempt at conquering the world. Lastly, issue three is titled "The Flood" with an image of what appears to be Noah's ark. They explain this as meaning, "You're either with us or against us," but it may be seen to some as an indirect shot at the Christian faith.
