By conceptualizing the Islamic State as a ‘Schmittian state’ with a black and white world view divided into two camps, this research has sought to present the Islamic State’s self-narrative and propaganda techniques. It has shown that the Islamic State has identified Europe, along with the west, as the threatening foe that must be conquered and destroyed. Such sentiments should not be taken lightly. Identifying the most prominent propaganda devices employed by the Islamic State – transfer here, card stacking, and bandwagoning – makes it possible to counteract the Islamic State’s information campaign more effectively by illuminating its omissions, half-truths, and misrepresentations. The fact that Dabiq is intended for western audiences also sheds light on the Islamic State’s intentions to strengthen themselves by weakening European (and western) social fabrics. Exposing the fallacy of the Islamic State’s propaganda machine can both deter currently radicalizing individuals from joining the organization and prevent the acquisition of future recruits.
