Did anyone watch this on Channel 4 last night ? It's about young 'British' people going to join ISIS - not exactly the best time to be showing this drama, but apparently Channel 4 refused to postpone it.
Alex,
Returning to the point, I suspect you've read this:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/aug/21/the-state-isis-recruits-characters-television-dramaYou no doubt appreciate that the 4 Jihadis aren't real - we don't actually see the real jihadis, but simply actors who are performing to a script written for Channel4. Rachel Shabi, who wrote the piece above, claims, rather disingenuously, that we see the jihadis as real people, and not ignorant, uneducated, fanatics. But how the stuff are we supposed to know, if we don't see real murderers leaving our shores to behead other Muslims in Racca, what are we seeing.
Let's face it, The State is the usual propaganda pumped out by Channel 4, because it is inconvenient for us to see the real fanatics as it does not fit with Channel 4s view of the world. It is ludicrous, when Rachel Sarbi claims, at the time of Barcelona, it opportune that we see murderous fanatics as human, just like the rest of us.
The Guardian and Channel4, these days, are asylums without walls or straitjackets.
