ISIS Has A Wacky Rap Music Video. No, We're Not Joking.

ISIS recently released a new attack video that aims to shake fear in the hearts of the 'capitalist pigs' in the west through the power of their sweet beats. The video features beheadings and torture while hinting at suicide bombers in Germany and New York City all set to a rap sound track. The video is gruesome and should be taken seriously of course, but its hard to not imagine a masked member of the terrorist organization in their multimedia wing sighing and with a heavy voice asking, "How do I reach these kids?". The video made sure to promise that a lot of pain and loss of life would be coming because that's how you let everyone know you're an Original G in the international community nowadays, apparently.

The video included subtitles in English, though had a few sections in German for good measure.

What do you think will be ISIS next move? Let us know in the comments section below.

What It's Like To Live As A Women Under ISIS Rule

Militants working for ISIS' all-female police force in Syria have released a manifesto on the role of women - claiming children as young as nine should be encouraged to get married and condemning beauty parlours as the work of the devil.

The chilling document, titled 'Women in the Islamic State', demands women live a completely 'sedentary' lifestyle and that their role in life should be primarily to remain 'hidden and veiled' and at the service of men, who are described as their masters.

The manifesto urges 'pure' females to ensure they are married by 16, 'while they are still young and active', but insists that children as young as nine can 'legitimately' marry adult men.

It goes on to state that beauty parlours and shops selling fashionable clothes must not be tolerated as they are both instruments of the devil designed to encourage women to spend vast amounts of money to change God's design.

The document is the first of its kind to be released by ISIS' all-female Al-Khansa Brigade and while it claims not to have been written or approved by ISIS' leadership, it provides a disturbing look at the way women living under the terror group's barbaric regime can expect to be viewed and treated."
