IS propaganda video aims to attract recruits

World Today

A new video is out by the the Islamic State terror group. It appears to be in response to U.S. President Barack Obama’s earlier speech, when he said the U.S. objective in expanded airstrikes would be to degrade and ultimately destroy IS.

The video screams at you with all the drama and hype usually reserved for a Hollywood movie trailer. But this is not make believe, and it’s not an effort to lure viewers to the big screen. Rather, it aims to attract detached Muslims willing to wage war for the Islamic State.
