The government-funded television outlet, Channel 4, in the United Kingdom has jus created a video that, in essence, glorifies jihad — a shocking segment that’s been likened to a propaganda effort by Nazis to recruit Jew haters.
The video includes a discussion by a black British doctor who speaks in fawning language about defection to Syria. And this all comes just five days after the terror attacks in Barcelona.
Will the left ever learn?

The Daily Mail has more (h/t Jihad Watch):
A really super-cool club. That’s how a young black British doctor describes Islamic State in tonight’s episode of The State, her eyes shining as she records a YouTube message urging other young women to follow her example and defect to Syria.
‘A really super-cool club.’ There’s no irony in her voice. Dr Shakira Boothe (played by Ony Uhiara) is a single mother from London who claims to be part of the first generation of Muslims building a religious paradise on earth.
This, then, is how Channel 4, a publicly owned British broadcaster, depicts Islamic State five days after a terrorist attack in Barcelona that killed more than a dozen people – during a year that has seen British children killed by a suicide bomber at a Manchester pop concert.
A four-part drama screening on consecutive nights, The State is supposedly based on real events in Syria and Iraq, seen from the viewpoint of several British recruits who fled their homes to join the jihad or Holy War. It showcases graphic footage of torture and dismemberment.
The second episode tonight includes an appallingly callous tableau of dead babies in an incubator ward, after a bomb strike on a hospital.
It is sickening. But it isn’t the gore and scattered limbs that leave a tight knot in the stomach: it is the moist-eyed adulation as The State pleads with us not just to sympathise with the British jihadis but to love them.
All the women are elegant but strong – independent heroines making a positive choice to sacrifice their freedom for the sake of their pious religious convictions. Joans of Arc, every one. All the men are sensitive and soft-spoken – driven to fight in God’s army for their love of their families. Everyone is deeply intelligent and multi-lingual, with extensive knowledge of the Koran.
And they are all ridiculously good-looking of course, with the occasional Poldark moment for the boys as they strip off their uniforms to reveal waxed chests with moulded six-packs. The soundtrack is all swelling orchestras and throbbing drums, with moments of sad Spanish guitar when a character dies.
No one will be surprised to discover that the writer and director of the State, Peter Kosminsky, is not a veteran of the civil war in Syria. He did not carry out research missions to Raqqa and Aleppo.
In fact, middle-class film-maker Kosminsky is 61 years old and Oxbridge-educated, the epitome of the London media luvvie who is desperate to demonstrate that he is less racist than anyone else at his Hampstead dinner party. He’s been the subject of a South Bank Show profile by Melvyn Bragg. You get the picture.
The dialogue of The State gives him away at every moment. It’s Dad-speak, a middle-aged man’s failed effort to sound ‘down with the kids’, which parrots comical slang last used in the 1970s by the Bay City Rollers – words such as ‘super-cool’.
In tonight’s opening scene, one fighter waves his AK47 and shouts: ‘This is better than flipping burgers!’ It’s meant to be a victory shout – but instead, the line is fake, patronising and, in its assumption that well-educated British Asians like him are destined to work at McDonald’s, dismissively racist.
Kosminsky’s dead ear for dialogue is matched by his inability to smell out lies. Because all the scenes are based on second-hand research, they mirror the propaganda videos that cascade on to the internet, showing life under Sharia law. Much of the series consists of the director’s attempts to capture the camera angles common in phone videos of battlefields and marketplaces.
It’s baffling that a man who knows how the television world works – he won Emmys and Baftas for his adaptation of Wolf Hall, after all – seems blind to the crass manipulation of Islamic State’s official videos. Kosminsky believes that the choreographed beheadings and the carefully curated aftermath of bombings are true and accurate depictions of ISIS life.
For fear of imposing his own opinions on viewers (good liberals never do that) he offers no comment on the medieval morality of Islamic State. Racism is endemic: the leading characters soon learn to sneer openly at the pathetic white fighters, who are mostly fat, tearful, closet homosexuals.
All of the characters have left their homes without saying goodbye to their parents, though Kosminsky is at pains to point out that this doesn’t mean they are ungrateful or unloving – it’s just that they didn’t dare risk alerting the forces of government oppression.
The men practise dismantling their assault rifles with their eyes shut, and learn the basics of misogyny: ‘A woman in this life is defective!’
And when the bomb strikes that baby ward, there is no hint that any blame lies with the ISIS cowards using the hospital as their shield. If anything, the fault is with the unseen hand, presumably American, that fired the missile. The only explanation for the characters’ betrayal of Britain is summed up in one line: ‘I ain’t never going back to that kuffar dump, bruv.’ Kuffar, as the constant scroll of Arabic dictionary definitions tells us, means dirty, foreign and unholy….
Kosminsky cannot be incapable of understanding how most viewers will regard his perverted vision of ISIS. But he only cares about the opinions of his peers in a deluded bubble. Any decent human being, anyone who has felt despair and heartbreak at the terrorist attacks sponsored by Islamic State, will feel nothing but revulsion for his characters. They are traitors to their families and friends. Society has provided so much entertainment and education to enrich their lives, and they are turning all of it to the most evil uses.
The State is no sort of truthful drama, as it claims to be. This is a recruitment video to rival Nazi propaganda of the Thirties calling young men to join the Brownshirts.

This is the path of Brittainistan, Islam has come to stay, and the Brits are all too happy to giftwrap their wives, sons, and daughters for the delight and debauchery of Islam.

I watched this 4 Part Series, in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM, WAS THIS PROMOTING ISIS.
In fact such a claim shows you have not watched it. It would put anyone off ISIS, better still, it would put off anyone in becoming a muslim. It was graphic, and showed the very real brain washing aspect of Islam. I hope more like this is made.
Remember, Channel 4 did one on Tom Holland, based on his book Shadow of the Sword. It only got one viewing, due to British muslim’s complaining, as it showed the Quran was totally man made. The Sana Qurans prove that.

Look at the headline picture. He lovingly looks at the younger man and thinks,”Is he still young enough for me to analy rape without being considered gay?”

The more traitors and criminals that defect to islamic republics the better, That will reduce the number of enemy combatants interspersed with the non criminal population. Plus, saturation bombing of terrorist cities will be more effective.

Freedom of speech, a hallmark of enlightened, western civilization. It’s that “enlightened” part that is problematic when this level of mendacious, perverse, agitprop, whether intentional or motivated by ignorance, reinforces an already widespread fog of deception concerning the true nature and Quranic roots of Islamic Jihad. Freedom of speech is not the problem. The problem is widespread ignorance of Islam, constantly reinforced by accusations of “Islamophobia,” claims of non-existent “victimhood,” racism and obsequious, mindless ruminations by “enlightened” western law enforcers and commentators concerning the “unknown motivation” behind every terrorist attack, accompanied by shouts of “Allahu Akbar.”
The cure for this ignorance is not the abrogation of freedom of speech; it’s a fervent, determined effort to learn the truth by questioning and exposing the immensely successful, massive effort by the alphabet soup of Muslim organizations (CAIR, ISNA, MPAC, IIIT, MSA, MAS, the OIC, etc.) to suppress any attempt to connect Islam with all terrorist activity around the world by accusing any such reports or assertions to be the incoherent ravings of lunatics afflicted with the strange psychosis of “Islamophobia.”
How successful? 9/11, by no means the 1st terrorist attack in the U.S., was almost 16 years ago and these attacks have continued with increasing frequency, around the world, ever since. And, if anything, Muslims are a far more protected class of alleged victims of “racism” today than any other group in the world. This black hole of fanaticism is in desperate need of some sunshine and the rats within need to be exterminated.
