The organization is its members, and this is exactly what you said it is: a propaganda magazine. That's the message to prospective recruits. "This is what you're signing on for. This is your mission, should you join us".
I've no doubt that there are some members of ISIS, including at the leadership level, who are exploiting the faithful for cynical reasons, because that's true of every purportedly religious organization. But when you see people blowing themselves up and killing people in the process, this is the message they've latched onto, and why they think their deaths are righteous and necessary.
