Since its very beginning, as the symbol of postmodern terrorism in globalization era, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) attempted to use globalization tools such as cyberspace incuding the Khalifa book (Caliphate book) website for recruiting, establishing terrorist cells network and expanding itself by globalizing terror. Meanwhile, ISIL defies western modernity and intends to undermine the basis of globalization. In this regard, ISIL use social media and complex propaganda system to attract people around the word. This paper aims to elaborate how ISIL can confront the theoretical foundations of globalization while using communicational tools of this emerging phenomenon.
