All the publications of ISIS were forbidden of distribution in pretty much all western countries and reading one could actually lend you in trouble for terrorism charge. Banned book acquire a great popularity depending on what's the content of said book. If I write a book so sexually perverted it's banned, I can bet you my house and my dogs people will try to read it. If my book is simply a screed about killing Muslims, besides anti-islamophobic activists and islamophobes, not many others wil be tempted in reading it even if it's censored. I'm not sure you have read or even searched for ISIS propaganda and articles.
