Islamic State Magazine Sold on Amazon

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Dabiq is an English language publication focusing on jihad and tawhid (unity), according to its publisher, the Al Hayat Media Centre

The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil) is apparently using online retailer Amazon to sell propaganda magazines aimed at recruiting Western jihadists.

Issues of Dabiq, an English-language e-zine, have been available to purchase on the website since May 24. The seller is listed as the Al Hayat Media Centre, the same name as the extremist group’s most famous media arm.

The magazine, which retails at between five and seventeen pounds, can be delivered to a buyer in one working day, and can even be gift-wrapped. The Telegraph did not purchase a copy of the magazine to verify its contents.

The Al Hayat Media Centre describes it as “a periodical magazine focusing on the issues of tawhid (unity), manhaj (truth-seeking), hijrah (migration), jihad (holy war) and jama'ah (community), including photo reports, current events, and informative articles on matters relating to the Islamic State.” » | Louisa Loveluck | Saturday, June 06, 2015

Now ISIS Boasts About Invading the Vatican: Propaganda Magazine Says Terrorists Will 'Conquer' Rome and 'Break Your Crosses'

MAIL ONLINE: ISIS publishes picture in Dabiq of their black flag flying above the Vatican / Militants' flag superimposed in magazine on obelisk in St Peter’s Square / Its article also urges Muslims to attack and kill 'every Crusader possible'

Islamic State jihadis today issued a clear threat to the heart of Christianity, as they published an image of their black flag flying above the Vatican.

In a picture on the cover of their official magazine showing a mock-up of Caliphate-controlled Rome, the militants’ flag is superimposed on the obelisk in St Peter’s Square.

It is the front cover of the fourth edition of the ISIS online propaganda magazine Dabiq, which calls in its latest issue for a war against the Catholic Church.

While the headline reads The Failed Crusade, the article threatens to ‘conquer’ Rome and ‘break your crosses’.

The article in Dabiq - named after a town in northern Syria where in 1516 the Ottomans defeated the Mamluks, establishing the last Islamic caliphate - also urged faithful Muslims to attack and kill ‘every Crusader possible’.

It added that ‘it is lawful to kidnap the women of the infidels and use them as sex slaves’. » | Hannah Roberts for MailOnline in Rome | Monday, October 13, 2014
