It was one of the centerpieces of their especially goofy take on Islam and the various prophecies (which have a track record almost as good as Christian prophecy).

To have lost Dabiq in any sort of battle would have been bad enough. To have simply run away is something they'll have a tall order to 'splain to the true believers in the places they still occupy.

Oh, well. Armageddon will simply have to wait for another day.
