ISIS released a new propaganda video recently, and while President Obama wants the world to think these bloodthirsty marauders are just “a bunch of killers with good social media,” the terrorists don’t seem to align their actions with Obama’s words. And they’re clearly not cowered by the president’s military actions against them — actions often criticized as feeble and inadequate.
The slick new ISIS video features the voice of an English speaking man hammering the United States as cowards and calling the countries currently fighting the Islamic State a “coalition of devils.”
Despite Obama’s hollow rhetoric that’s dismissive of the terrorists’ capabilities, the video starts off by pointing out that ISIS currently controls territory that’s larger in size than Great Britain.
It then goes on to call America “a secular state built on man-made laws, whose soldiers fight for the interests of … legislators, liars, fornicators, corporations and for the freedoms of sodomites.”
ISIS also said their warriors are waiting for another 20 nations to join the “coalition of devils,” citing the Koran, saying, “Our prophet said [they] would reach 80 in number and then the flames of war will finally burn you on the hills of death.”
The lowest, most cruel point of their propaganda video for some, though, was pointing out the tragedy of U.S. service-member suicide rates.
“We continue to haunt the minds of your soldiers and sow fear in their hearts, with eighteen of your soldiers committing suicide each day,” the narrator said
NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism, John Miller, recently told the Today Show that this video is part of the marketing strategy forISIUS, a way they recruit.
“Their main bread-and-butter has been recruiting people online,” Miller said. “The videos are part of the cheerleading section of that. That’s for one audience. The flipside of that audience is fear is the grist of the terrorist mill and the videos are meant to inspire that. So one part is for potential recruits, the other part is for us, but we operate under a fairly high state of alert normally (in New York City).”
Despite what many characterize as his persistent misconceptions about ISIS, one thing President Obama has right, though, it that the terror organization has good social media.
“One thing that ISIS understands almost better than terrorism is marketing,” Miller said. “What you saw last night was a commercial. It was meant to sell a product. The product is fear. Could it happen here? Of course it could, but that’s because it could happen anywhere. Are we better prepared here than most if not all other places? The answer to that is yes.”
