[IsraelTimes] Islamic State fighters cradle cats, eat Nutella and hand out sweets in ad campaign for potential supporters
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... fighters are a bunch of softies who love to cuddle with kittens and eat chocolate spread, a new jihadist media campaign suggests. Recent images on the internet depict fighters with a feline in one hand and an AK47 in the other, holding jars of Nutella spread, or handing out sweets to children. The pictures -- the cat images were tweeted under the heading Islamic State of Cat, and have since been removed -- came to light during a visit to London by John Carlin, a top US counter-terrorism official, who said IS understood that "kittens sell," the UK’s Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday. Carlin, assistant attorney general for national security, was in the UK to discuss how to counter the terror group’s efforts to persuade young people to leave home to join the organization or to perpetrate attacks where they live. "We have an obligation to stop our citizens from going to commit those atrocities. And we need to figure out a way to stop these people getting radicalized, (the notion of ) no passport no travel required, this call to kill where you live," he said. Carlin revealed that directors from Hollywood, advertising executives from Madison Avenue and tech gurus from Silicon Valley are being recruited to help fight the terror group’s propaganda. According to the Guardian newspaper, Carlin also said that America’s success in integrating Muslims had helped intelligence experts to deal with the domestic terror threat. He refused to be drawn into commenting about US presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s bid to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States. In other remarks, Carlin called for the threat of terror in America to be kept in proportion, saying there were probably "only hundreds" who were attracted to Islamic State. | |
