Summary/Abstract

The Islamic State (IS) terror group continues to operate and endure five years after its founding in 2014 and after the loss of its caliphate in March this year. The IS has also endured the killings of its Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October and other senior leaders in the last few years. A factor in the resilience of the IS is the nature of its organisational structure – which is quite ambiguous, with no clear hierarchy – that is not severely affected by leadership decapitations or territorial losses. However, a larger force behind its survival is its ideological appeal and emphasis on using violence to achieve its ends. The IS has invested a lot of resources and expertise in propagating and micromanaging its ideological message across the jihadist landscape. The ideology of the IS – a mix of Salafi-jihadism, Sunni extremism and a nihilistic outlook – has found resonance among radical sympathisers worldwide and had managed to bridge the gap between jihadist thought and action by establishing a functioning Islamic caliphate in 2014, something that no other Islamist terror group had been able to do
