It is hard to overestimate the role of “Molla Nasreddin”, a satiric magazine in Azerbaijani, in the development of the press in Caucasus. It was a pioneering activity which led to creating similar publications. “Tips of a feather are the driving force for a sword”, this proverb fully describes the eight-page biweekly which became one of the most influential newspapers in the history of Azerbaijan. The analysis of the texts and caricatures published in the “Molla Nasreddin” indicate the common aim of its authors. It was propagating the European model of society though not its copying. The publishers of the journal often mentioned the role of culture and education in creating identity. They provided clear criteria aimed at helping to differentiate real liberal values proclaimed by Western intelligentsia from Russian authoritarianism. According to them, adaptation to modernity should be gradual with the visible separation of the religion from cultural and social transformations. The journal was published with some breaks for 25 years, from 1906 to 1931, against political unrest started by the revolution in 1905, World War I, the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, establishing Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and its Soviet takeover in 1920.

Within two years of intense activity, the Islamic State has grown to become the most dangerous Islamic terrorist organization, able to administer a quasi-state, established by it in Syria and Iraq. The success of the Islamic State became possible due to the well- organized propaganda. The idea of a state governed by the principles of Sharia law also seduced Islamic radicals in: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. Islamic radicalism in the Balkans developed during the civil war of 1992-1995 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was due to thousands of mujahedeen fighting on the side of the Bosnian army and Arab charity organizations that the Salafist ideology was distributed before spreading among the young generation of Bosnian and Kosovar Muslims, disappointed with socio-political processes after the war. Following the attacks on the World Trade Center, Bosnian Salafists limited their activities to sharing their ideology in selected mosques. The emergence of the Caliphate and the war in Syria and Iraq gave a new impulse to the continuation of the Holy War in the Middle East and reinvigorated fundamentalists in the Balkans. The Balkan Daesh militants, trained in Bosnian and Kosovar villages, are fighting in Syria and Iraq. They move freely between the Middle East and the Balkans. Trained in the techniques of guerrilla warfare and carrying out their activities underground, they pose a real threat to the communities to which they return. They participate in the preparation of terrorist attacks in Europe.
