Middle East has recently witnessed a remarkable growth in the emergence of terrorist groups and organizations that threaten the security and safety of societies
and countries especially in Iraq. It is worth noting that these organizations ،which describe themselves as jihadists have given special importance to the media and
made it one of the most significant weapons which used by them in their conflicts. The pictures of sermons and video clips broadcast by these organizations take an advanced position among their followers. The field of pictures and media witnessed qualitative leaps of development that transformed from transferring data
and words to a propaganda arm which is capable of mobilizing public opinion. This research begins with the introduction about ‘Semiotic Propaganda’ including; 1.
The problem which is “how is the ideology of the terrorist organizations spread widely in addition to how the influence of power is reproduced in the discourse
of terrorist organizations”،2. questions as: “What are the strategies and ideologies that were used by terrorist organizations to convince their followers?”،3.aims
such as: “ highlighting the reasons behind ISIS spreading throughout knowing: Its hypothesis، procedures، and the value of this study”. This research، after that ،tries to mention definitions and explanations of some terms that related to this topic including principles and techniques of the persuasions، global media discourse، data analysis and dimensions of semiotics analysis. The last part focuses on presenting general conclusions. This research by using Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (2006) multimodal approach aims at revealing the embedded meanings within a number of pictures in various platforms of social media. Multimodal approach was used in this research to describe the gathered material that relies mainly on image analysis rather than on statistics without using questionnaires or interviews. Instead of that the research deals with the analysis of images in ISIS’s news papers، magazines or video clips in websites between 2013 and 2021
