Abstract
The media plays an important and influential role in shaping public opinion trends and attitudes and formulating its positions and behaviors through the news and information provided by various media outlets. A person cannot form a certain position or adopt a certain idea except through the information and data provided to him, which confirms the ability of the media in all its forms and shapes to bring about changes in individual and societal concepts and practices by disseminating knowledge, awareness, enlightenment, forming opinions, and disseminating information and various issues. At a time when the media has become an essential part of the lives of peoples and societies, this research provides an in-depth understanding of the strategy of ISIS terrorist gangs in intellectual expansion in various digital media. At the beginning of their emergence, terrorist gangs employed mosques and places of worship in the recruitment process and spreading their takfiri ideology. However, with the development of social media and the dominance of globalization on the stage of social relations, as well as political and international relations, ISIS terrorist gangs exploited this development and employed it in the service of recruitment, training, logistical support... and other things that we will discuss in this research, with the presentation of a package of measures and solutions for the relevant Iraqi authorities to limit this phenomenon.
