Abstract
The chapter presents insights into the non-linear development of the Islamic State (IS) online. Starting with the pre-IS period of Jihadi online activities, the emergence of IS online is analyzed as a swarm-like process across the platforms of the internet supporting the cause of IS via videos, texts, audio, and graphic files. The organizational aspect of these activities is included in the analysis. The online presence of IS is shown as resilient, being able to reconfigure its activities when needed. A coordinated effort of a non-hegemonic network is needed to confront the flexible online activities of IS built on evidence-based research, using multi-lingual sources, understanding the theological framework of IS and the internet.
