Makes sense. Still, in general ISIS is (as far as I have seen anyway) remarkably faceless for such a self-righteous bunch

probably cos someone would find photos of them having cocktails with western leaders

little bit of politics there

Strange we haven't seen in the media the massed bodies of ISIS dead from Kobane etc. Wonder who this media-facilitated boogeyman benefits. Bashar Al-Assad? The aforementioned oil interests? Saudi Arabia? Israel? Iran? Allah? Who, who, who let the dogs of war out?

Don't let any blueshirts hear you saying that!

I don't think they're in the business of taking photos of their own war dead.
Maybe they are. I'm not privy to their media strategy.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. I hadn't seen anything like it before. It was all as if ISIS was defining the media situation.

Or spot them eating a bagel in a london cabie

Yes but why would should the Kurds or the ypg have the same media practice as other group's ? It is not necessarily the case that they would want to brodcast themselves fighting in the first place.
Besides of course there are imagies ISIS dead from Kobane.

Islamic teenagers aren't allowed to go for cans.

ISIS = emo/metal/goth for Muslim teenagers

 

[CinnamonBoy]

So like the staight-edge movement of the 2010s?

 

[ann post]

Its either ISIS or snapchat these days.

Yeah @7 - No tomorrow linked to that. It's just the western media cover ISIS as if they're pop stars releasing new YouTubes and it gives no actual context for how big a threat they are or how much opposition they are facing on the ground. It's almost as if they want to sell newspapers (proverbially, nobody can sell newspapers any more).

Wanting to rebel or wanting to be part of something bigger or wanting to have power when one is powerless etc.
