Dabiq (Arabic: دابق) is the title of the monthly online magazine used by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS/IS) for propaganda[1] and recruitment.[2] It was first published in July 2014 in a number of different languages including English.
Dabiq itself states the magazine is for the purposes of unity, truth-seeking, migration, holy war and community (tawhid, manhaj, hijrah, jihad and jama'ah respectively). [3]
Harleen K. Gambhir of the Institute for the Study of War considered that while al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's magazine Inspire focuses on encouraging its readers to carry out lone-wolf attacks on the West, Dabiq is more concerned with establishing the religious legitimacy of ISIL and its self-proclaimed caliphate, and encouraging Muslims to emigrate there.[4]
Details
The first issue of Dabiq carried the date "Ramadan 1435" in Islamic Hijri calendar.[2]
According to the magazine, its name was taken from the town of Dabiq in northern Syria, which is mentioned in a hadith about Armageddon.[5] ISIS believes Dabiq is where Muslim and infidel forces will eventually face each other.[2][6] After the infidel forces' defeat, the apocalypse will begin.[7]
On its October 2014 issue, a manipulated picture on the front story cover titled "The Failed Crusade", depicted IS's jihadi black flag risen atop the Egyptian obelisk at the center of St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.[8] Bosnian imam Bilal Bosnić was also quoted saying: "In time, the whole world will be an Islamic state [...] Our goal is to make sure that even the Vatican will be Muslim".[9] The same issue contained an article titled "The revival (of) slavery before the Hour", which acknowledged the enslavement of female members of the Yazidi sect after overrunning their villages in northwestern Iraq. The article outlined religious justifications for slavery and praised its revival.[1][10][11][12][13]
In February 2015, the BBC reported that Dabiq "listed Christians among IS's main enemies."[14]
Clarion project produce a website on Dabiq, which they identify as being published in order to recruit persons to the jihadi cause, and which they describe also as being a "glossy propaganda magazine ... sophisticated, slick, beautifully produced". [3]
