The article gives general characterisation of the ways in which these organizations use modern communication technologies. Currently, every major terrorist organisation maintain robust media wings, which focus on producing videos, publishing magazines and sharing them with the public via the Web. The empirical system of reference is based on the activity of al-Qaeda, her franchise AQAP (al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) and ISIS (the so-called Islamic State). While analysing the media of terrorist organisations, the Lasswell model was applied. This formula is a standard research procedure used for investigating acts of communication by answering the questions: who, says what, in which channel, to whom, with what effect?. The author also present typology of videos produced by jihadist organisations, characterised the most important and active media actions of terrorist organisations and a typology of recipients of such messages. The article presents a number of reasons why the Internet has become such an important tool for terrorists.

Radical Islamic ideas, individuals, movements, organizations, but also states that have greatly contributed to the radicalization of the existing Muslim population of the Balkans and Bosnia and Herzegovina are not new. Ever since the Middle Ages, with the aggression and genocide committed by the Ottomans, the ideas of jihad have been present in various forms, especially in environments that interpret Islam as a great world religion in such a radical way. There is a noticeable connection between the bearers of jihadist ideas from World War II until today. This article not only provides a historical analysis of the preconditions for the widespread jihadist network that today produces jihad warriors who threaten the entire world but also provides an authentic overview of the preconditions of this global terrorist network to better understand elements such as this network – it’s functions, how it recruits new terrorists and how it uses the ideology of radical Islamists as a motive for committing serious crimes around the world. The schematic structure of the mujahedeen unit with command staff is shown, as well as the fact that the terrorists welcomed the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina who tried to hide their presence and to relativize all the worst crimes committed by the mujahedin.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the occurrence of anti-Americanism in the Muslim world and its influence on US-Arab relations. Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring, this phenomenon has been an important issue in this region. Anti-regime revolts evolved immediately into anti-American uprisings, as evidenced by the brutal assassination of the American Ambassador Chris Stevens and three US diplomats in Benghazi. This tragic event showed that anti-Americanism is not the exclusive domain of terroristorganizations anymore; it is an attitude of ordinary citizens. Al-Qaeda, apparently playing second fiddle, continues to operate by promoting propagandistic magazines that stir up hatred towards the United States.

Celem pracy jest przeanalizowanie zjawiska antyamerykanizmu w świecie muzułmańskim oraz jego wpływu na stosunki amerykańsko-arabskie. Od wybuchu Arabskiej Wiosny fenomen ten stanowi znaczący problem w regionie. Antyrządowe protesty szybko zaczęły zamieniać się w antyamerykańskie, czego dowodem było brutalne zamordowanie amerykańskiego ambasadora, Chrisa Stevensa, oraz trzech dyplomatów w Benghazi. Te wydarzenia pokazały, że antyamerykanizm nie jest obecnie wyłączną domeną organizacji terrorystycznych, ale stał się również postawą przeciętnych obywateli. Pomimo pozornego ukrycia się w cień Al-Kaida działa nadal, między innymi poprzez upowszechnianie propagandowych pism szerzących nienawiść wobec Stanów Zjednoczonych.
