The failure of ISIS' Jihad Fatah strategy caused a new terrorist strategy to be placed on the agenda of Islamic fundamentalists, based on which a new organizational structure is formulated according to the intelligence elites of the rivals. This issue has caused the speeding up of attacks, the secret nature of these attacks, the use of virtual layers of internet communication, membership and internet operations, and the ability of security organizations to deal with these groups has greatly decreased. In recent years, extremism, fundamentalism, and terrorism have spread throughout the ideological spectrum with a "post-organizational" process, and in this process, with the increase of online activities, the membership and support of specific groups have become more ambiguous, and the growth of transnational movements has flowed more fluidly. Terrorist attacks are carried out by people who have no clear connection with identified organizations; But a similar method and common ideology can be seen in all of them. With the assumption that extremism will spread in the form of "post-organizationalism" in the coming years, this article aims to answer the question of what are the components, variables and structure of modern terrorism based on post-organizationalism. The purpose of this article is to analyze the strategies and virtual functions of post-organizational fundamentalism as the fourth generation of Islamic fundamentalism using the explanatory method.

Keywords: Extremism, ISIS, post-organizationalism, virtual space.
