I've Been Thinking:
ISIS released an interview with the Jordanian pilot they shot down last week.
The interview was in Dabiq magazine.
Dabiq is a very appropriate name for an ISIS periodical whose is to inspire followers and convince would be and wannabe followers to join the cause.
Dabiq is a town in Syria. But more importantly, in Islamic eschatology Dabiq is the central location of the final battle and the end of days.
It is the Muslim equivalent to Megiddo.
The interview with the Jordanian pilot, First Lieutenant Muadh al-Kasasbeh, has him describing how his F-16 was shot down on Wednesday by a heat-seeking missile near the Islamic State group's regional capital Raqaa in Syria. That to this day the U.S. denies is even possible.
This is a huge PR success for ISIS. And they have plastered it on the glossy cover of their new magazine.
