Australian Dr Tareq Kamlehan runs one ward, appearing in propaganda videos promoting his work and encouraging other medics to join up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Aussie poster boy for extremist doctors may already be delivering the next generation of blood-soaked believers, helping IS to grow and extend its influence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe idea of creating families to live within their Islamic State also provides further validation of ISIS\u2019s vision as a legitimate nation unto itself,\u201d said Clinton Watts, Fox Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. \u201cISIS believes the more people they can create in their image the better, and those born into violent ideology are usually the most committed to the course of their life.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><br class=\"Apple-interchange-newline\" \/><strong>In an attempt to show legitimacy as a professional and orderly government, IS is reportedly issuing birth certificates and related medical documents. IS leaders also have established guidelines for paediatric care for mothers giving birth within the caliphate, sources told FoxNews.com. One such directive forbids Caesarean births, calling them \u201cun-Islamic\u201d and asserting they could hinder future reproduction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to raise a \u201cjihadi baby\u201d has also been a key feature of IS publications, with one article, \u201cSister\u2019s Role in Jihad\u201d, underscoring that the \u201cmost important\u201d role a female can play within the caliphate is to indoctrinate her offspring as early as possible. Mothers should encourage boys to play with toy guns and steer clear of TV, as it \u201cmostly teaches shamelessness, anarchy and random violence\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Many of the Islamic State\u2019s mothers are sex slaves captured from Christian and Yazidi populations, as well as Western women who have travelled to the region to join the terrorist army.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/video\/id-lidnhwdDoJMKP_RhP_kt_K8GaZZrFI9i\/Australian-doctor-joins-IS\">http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/video\/id-lidnhwdDoJMKP_RhP_kt_K8GaZZrFI9i\/Australian-doctor-joins-IS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Syrian activist group \u201cRaqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently\u201d reported in April that the terrorists had opened a nursing school in the Syrian city that served as its headquarters, complete with standardised entrance exams and a mandate that nurses must speak fluent English so as to not put their patients\u2019 lives at risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A member of the activist group, a collective of underground Raqqa residents who report from the city at great risk, told FoxNews.com that IS had opened a medical school for both male and female students, ages 18 to 30, \u201con condition that they must earn an average about 80 per cent\u201d in their final high school grades. Experts say the message shows that IS sees itself as much more than a terrorist group.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cISIS is not only a terrorist group, but in the business of state building,\u201d Anne Speckhard, a Georgetown University professor of psychiatry and security studies told FoxNews.com. \u201cOne of the central tenets of ISIS recruitment is their promise to build a utopian state where citizens will be able to live by Islamic ideals.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The teams of medical professionals enlisted by IS are a combination of those willingly recruited into the barbaric faction and those forced to work against their will. But between patching up wounded fighters and trying to run its own version of a government health ministry, IS is almost certainly falling well short of the rosy picture its propaganda paints. Many medical professionals have fled the caliphate, and others have been killed for refusing to use their skills in the service of terrorists.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThey have massive problems paying the doctors and keeping the facilities running with power, equipment and medical supplies,\u201d said Daniel Koehler, director of the German Institute on Radicalisation and De-Radicalisation Studies. \u201cISIS has even tolerated things like men and women working together in hospitals simply because they need the staff to continue and didn\u2019t want them to flee. The situation is miserable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Residents of Mosul, IS\u2019s main stronghold in Iraq, are occasionally permitted to go to Baghdad for surgery or medical treatment beyond the ability of the terror group\u2019s medical teams, according to an Iraq-based US defence official. But to do so, they must pay a fee amounting to about $9500 and have a \u201csponsor\u201d in Mosul. If they don\u2019t return, their possessions are seized and the sponsor is killed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The propaganda emphasis on pediatrics and healthcare is one of many steps IS has taken in an attempt to disseminate the idea that the cities under its control are calm and competent. But those who have made it out alive tell a different story.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPeople everywhere are dying for food, clean water, jobs,\u201d said a man who escaped Mosul after IS took over his home and held his family for a month earlier this year. \u201cAnything good ISIS says is a lie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>source : news.com.au<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Islamic State is making dead sure it will never run out of new recruits with its most morally corrupt strategy yet.
