Following reports that copies of "Dabiq," the ISIS propaganda magazine, has been going on sale at Amazon, the online e-commerce company has reportedly pulled the title from its store's listing and is no longer on sale, according to BBC.
At least four volumes of the magazine were spotted being sold in its online stores across United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France and Spain. The site's description said that "Dabiq" is "a periodical magazine focusing on issues of tawhid (unity), manhaj (truth-seeking), hijrah (migration), jihad (holy war), and jama'ah (community)," but the magazine actually discusses the justification of rape, kidnapping and other terrorists acts, according to the Daily Mail.
One issue featured an article on the Yazidi Christian women and children slaves, while another issue showed the terrorist group's flag at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, which it had plan to topple, according to the Daily Caller,
Published by the Al-Hayat Media Center and named after a Syrian town, which is believed to be the site of the coming apocalypse, the seller listed the magazines using the CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, a public feature provided by the e-commerce site. This gives users free access to publish and distribute books and magazines.
Al-Hayat is also the media arm the ISIS uses to produce and release videos of their beheadings, as well as recruit members to join the group.
Many customers have left reviews on the "Dabiq" listings to express their disgust, prompting the operators of Amazon to remove the items. The company, however, could only confirm that the magazines were indeed removed, but made no further comments on the issue, according to the reports.
