In screenshots from a new video purportedly released by the ISIS titled "Two Years Since the Caliphate," or "Khilafa," ISIS celebrates its reign of terror, particularly in Iraq and Syria. The video was released on June 27 on ISIS terrorist channels from "Wilayat Halab," aka Aleppo, Syria. Viewer discretion is advised.
The video begins with a parade of ISIS militants in cars with ISIS black flags attached. The footage is overdubbed with a celebratory tone of the so-called caliphate’s expansion. A map is then shown, with Iraq and Syria at its center but with North Africa and the Sinai Peninsula also claimed.
Later in the video, footage of everyday life is shown in ISIS-occupied regions, including punishment under sharia law. At this portion of the video, cigarettes are shown being mass burned, a man is being publicly flogged, but most grotesquely is the execution of an accused homosexual and an alleged spy.
The video ends with a “memoriam” of sorts, with footage and pictures of dead ISIS fighters used.
Despite the celebratory tone, ISIS is on the run and being defeated in the Middle East, Heavy reported.
