Since the appearance of the so-called Islamic State, the world is encountering a terrorist organization with an outreach and operational model never before witnessed. With its unprecedented financial power, the theme of state-sponsored terrorism is resurfacing taking into consideration its possible correlation to the inexplicable domination of IS to the theatre of modern terrorism. In light of the existing threat posed by IS, and its expected proliferation in the foreseeable future, discussions on means to combat this phenomenon should attract more attention on academic, political, and social levels, with the hope of finding a comprehensive long-lasting remedy for this highly contagious plague.
