The explosion of slick and professional ISIS videos online is so great that many people are referring to it as the virtual caliphate. Within seconds, ISIS can reach a global audience using popular social media sites, disseminating hateful propaganda to recruit new fighters and promote its extreme ideology. More and more, the virtual caliphate is calling on its followers not necessarily to go to Syria or Iraq or Libya now but to take up arms and attack where they are at home. "The smallest action you do"-in their words-"the smallest action you do in their homeland is better and more enduring to us than what you would if you were with us." That is the message being pounded into would-be jihadists and it is a message that is being pounded into many Americans. We know that terrorists consume Islamist propaganda over the Internet. The attacks in Brussels, San Bernardino, Orlando, Paris are tied to ISIS' online efforts based on the web sites visited by those undertaking these terrorist attacks. Indeed, ISIS' online dominance is just as critical to that organization as the large amounts of territory that it controls in Iraq or Syria or Libya or other training bases that they have set up.
