I've Been Thinking:
Amazon had a very embarrassing moment last week. They were selling ISIS's propaganda magazine for $12 a pop.
How would they know. The magazine is a glossy production called Dabiq and this was its 9the issue. It is produced in 5 different languages: English, German French, Spanish and Arabic.
As soon as Amazon found out, they pulled the product.
Dabiq is a town in Syria. It is the equivalent to the city of Megido. It is where the cataclysm will take place.
But, and this is the most interesting part, ISIS did not need Amazon in order to reach thousands and thousands of magazine buyers. Dabiq is an online publication. Amazon just made it easier. ISIS is selling the magazine throughout the web.
This latest issue of Dabiq is dedicated to explaining why and how young women become sex slaves. There are also two very long articles explaining ISIS. The point is that these women would not be sex slaves if only they converted and accepted the ISIS point of view and stance on Islam.
The articles are written by women. That is part of the ISIS propaganda machine. ISIS is justifying the denigration of women and hoping to recruit women, all at the same time.
