U.S. State Department attempts to fightback against ISIS by launching a video mocking the terror group

* The video was posted on a youtube channel and is entitled ‘Welcome to the 'Islamic State' land

* In a web campaign called 'Think again, turn away' the video offers a glimpse into what the terror group really stands for and shows gruesome scenes

* However, ISIS continues to wage an online campaign in an attempt to grab the attention of viewers worldwide

The anti-ISIS video was produced by the State Department's Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, which seeks to combat ISIS extremist narrative on social media.

In the video, the opening images show a mosque being blown up, followed by a photo of a body with a severed head.

Sometimes a hashtag campaign just ain't enough, you need a good YouTube video.

Looks like Kerry's really taking the gloves off now...< /sarc>

Hillary and them know exactly how a video can exasperate a situation in their favor.

They should have enlisted Borat. s/

What are they thinking? These jihadists have butchered tens of thousands. Does State really think a shaming a la facebook or twitter is going to do anything? A little hastag diplomacy and maybe a few celebrity moons?

Really? How sophomoric are these dolts?

This is a little useless considering that people who go online can ignore videos talking trash about them. What’s funny though, is that Obama claimed such videos provoked Benghazi two years ago. What’s sad, really, is that the inconsistency and incompetence of our highest government leaders make me and my fellow Americans look bad, and make us look like a joke to our enemies.

Rediculous if you ask me, my personal experience with YouTube is that I can ignore or turn down videos I find offensive. So can they. Second, how often do plenty of these guys actually browse the web? If a few minutes, all they’re going to do is check e-mails and the likelihood of seeing Facebook or YouTube is close to zero. If they do, well, they can ignore YouTube videos. People in the State Department look pretty stupid if they actually believe the lies or tall tales they threw out about Benghazi. A wise liar doesn’t believe his/her own lies: they rely on other people to swallow it.
