ISIS has recently published a bizarre online tourist brochure in a turn to try an re-brand the Islamic State as a holiday destination.
Pushing aside the beheadings as well as pushing homosexuals, it seems the extremists want people putting on their sun cream and packing their suitcases to have some relaxation time in the caliphate.
The ISIS travel guide features tranquil pictures of Jihadis swimming in an Olympic sized pool in Mosul, Iraq, scenes of a Jihadi beekeeper at work, not to forget a busy sheep farmers market.
The impression is one of normality – far from the reality of fearsome religious police, public floggings, sexual slavery and frontline fighting.
There is even an attempt to portray the terror stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria as a tourist attraction with sunset views across the Euphrates River which flows through the bomb-damaged city.
