sympathiser whose other posts include<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The image comes days after another RIBSS activist posted a picture of a baby sleeping next to a grenade, a handgun and what appears to be a birth certificate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span id=\"ext-gen44\">It was uploaded by Abu Ward Al-Raqqawi, a self-proclaimed &#8216;founder of the Syrian

earlier ISIS propaganda which attempt to radicalise the next generation of jihadis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Terror experts revealed to Daily Mail Australia earlier this week that such images attempt to showcase the group&#8217;s supposed longevity.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 634px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

ISIS propaganda, like this one of a baby lying on an ISIS flag surrounded by weapons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The post says the newborn child is called &#8216;Jrah&#8217;, while its mother&#8217;s name is &#8216;Om&#8217; and its father&#8217;s name is &#8216;Abu.&#8217; It claims the certificate next to the baby is an &#8216;ISIS issued ID for a child.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The image was believed to be posted by Al-Raqqawi in the hope of garnering attention to the international threat posed by ISIS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Australian National University terrorism expert Dr Clarke Jones told Daily Mail Australia the image appears to be authentic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;By showing the birth certificate, and the fact that the group are indoctrinating babies, I think ISIS are indicating they will be around for a long time.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It&#8217;s an interesting signal of life within the caliphate. Obviously by posting opposition to the Islamic State from within their borders the activist is operating with great risk.&#8217;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 634px\" class=\"wp-caption
