ISIS leader abu Bakr al-Baghdadi orders more 'family-friendly' execution videos
TIKRIT, Iraq — ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has ordered the group’s execution videos reflect a kindler, gentler jihad that will appeal to the whole family, sources say.
“So far the beheadings of infidels have been for adults only,” he said in a statement. “We need to create videos of brutal murder that the whole family can enjoy.”
Al-Baghdadi has been worried about the graphic content of the execution videos, according to aides. The self-proclaimed "caliph" is reportedly concerned that execution of captives by beheading, shooting squad, explosives strapped around the neck, and fiery cages, may offend fellow Muslims and children who find such images repulsive.
