Abstract: The article is primarily concerned with the media role of «the Islamic state» (the organization is prohibited in the Russian Federation) in development of the political radicalism in the
context of globalization. Currently ISIS's proponents have realized the relevance of «the soft power». Constantly they work on outreach, they have an impact on the behavior attitudes and political consciousness. The combination of these factors leads to involvement of young people to participate in destructive organizations. ISIS's outreach is qualitatively different from messages of other terror organizations. In its form it is similar to mass-media culture. The article considers the innovational technology of the control of human's mind. The article discriminates the continuum of research of mass-media role in escalation of Islamic radicalism. Also the article considers the main ISIS media.

Keywords: radicalism, Islamism, media, propaganda, information war.
