Abstract
In today's world a terrorist group has managed to seize a territory and establish a factual state. The DÁESH imposes its law in part of Syria, Libya and Iraq but its influence is global. The Internet carries the message of Jihad to potential adherents around the world whether Muslim or not. A message that promises hope, honor and a better life in a convulsive world and a Western society weary of itself and prone to the sensationalism and paroxysm proper to the absence of equilibria. The present study takes into account all the factors that explain this phenomenon from a multidisciplinary perspective taking into account the historical, geopolitical, sociological, philosophical, legal-criminal and criminological prism to unravel the rise of Islamic terrorism and its essential characteristics as a way of minimizing its effects.
