Foundation say they have found evidence young fighters are being brainwashed into believing they should eat human bodies if supplies are scarce during a time of jihad or religious war.
The secret syllabus also advises on what bits to eat and how to prepare the body, the Daily Record reports.
Quilliam chief executive Haras Rafiq said: “We have found the curriculum that Islamic State use to indoctrinate fighters and the indigenous population in areas under their control.
“There are all sorts of things in there, but one of the most horrific is a section on cannibalism which they are teaching in classrooms.
“They are trying to use a theological-based argument to say that cannibalism can be carried out when there is no food during a time of jihad.
“They say that if there are no supplies, it is OK to kill another non-Muslim or a Muslim who doesn’t follow their version of Islam."
He added: “As a Muslim, I find it utterly revolting. They even give advice on the parts to eat and how to prepare the flesh.
“These views on cannibalism are not mainstream but they are gaining traction.
“It’s new to see them advocate cannibalism. They are using Salafism – a fundamentalist theology and political Islamism - to justify their views.”
The news comes after Isis militants fed a desperate mum the mutilated remains of her kidnapped son after telling her it was cooked meat and rice.
The worried mum had bravely visited the terror group’s headquarters in a bid to speak to her son, who had been captured and taken prisoner by militants in Mosul, Iraq.
They told her she should eat before seeing her son because she had travelled a long way. She was horrified when she found out the meal they had given her was bits of her son.
The Quilliam Foundation was set up by two former members of the Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir who renounced terrorism and now aim to challenge extremism and promote democracy.
Rafiq said Quilliam is keen to come to Scotland to root out jihadism in schools, colleges, universities and jails.
Rafiq said: “There are hate preachers who go to universities and indoctrinate youngsters.
“We are doing one event a week in universities to show there is an alternative view to extremism and we are keen to get involved in universities in Scotland.
"It is vitally important that we get to the youngsters before they become radicalised and get a chance to dissect the propaganda they are getting.
“People going to the so-called jihad in Afghanistan were aged between 25 and 35 years old and there were virtually no women. But with Islamic State, the average age is 14 to 25 and 10 per cent of recruits are young girls and women.”
The revelations about ISIS cannibalism come after a number of real-life Hannibal Lecters have come to light.
In Russia, two men confessed to stabbing a victim and then beating him with a hammer.
They then cut up his body and ate part of it, before selling some of it to a kiosk that sold doner kebabs and pies.
Notorious Joseph Kony, chief of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda, has been responsible for a long list of horrific crimes including cannibalism.
One particularly disgusting attack was meted out on a group of women Kony wanted to make an example of.
A woman called Laweel was told that she and 10 others were to be mutilated, and sent home alive as a warning to others not to join the fight against Kony’s troops.
They were lined up and kidnapped children were told to sharpen the knives and machetes laid there, and one by one the women had their noses, lips and ears cut off.
They were then made to eat their own flesh.
In World War II Japanese troops practised cannibalism on enemy soldiers and civilians.
They sometimes cut flesh from living prisoners of war, according to documents discovered by a Japanese academic in Australia.
In most cases the motive was apparently not shortage of food, but ‘to consolidate the group feeling of the troops’.
Brendan Higginbotham was forced to eat part of his own ear and needed plastic surgery to repair horrific injuries inflicted on him by thugs in Newbridge, County Kildare in 2011.
He was attacked by a gang in the town who dragged him down a lane and beat him with a hammer and a metal bar.
Higginbotham was injured on his head, jaw and leg and he lost part of his ear.
Police spokesman John Joe O’Connell said at the time: “Part of this man’s ear was cut off and he was actually forced to eat it.”
