A British jihadist who fled
Britain to join extremists in
Syria has posted a list of ISIS
“jobs” online for supporters
who do not want to fight.
A man writing under the name
of Abu Sa’eed Al-Britani insisted
that an aversion to battle was a
“sign of weak faith” but there
was work available for press
officers, fitness instructors and
bomb makers.
According to the list of 10 jobs
released earlier this month,
volunteers are needed to
indoctrinate children in Isis-held
territories, implement its violent
interpretation of Sharia law and
care for injured fighters.
Number one on the list is press
officers for the so-called Islamic
State’s “media centre”.
Accusing the Western media of
“negative propaganda” against
ISIS, Al-Britani writes that the
group needs to garner support
from the masses through
“internal media”.
Its workings have already been
seen in the glossy propaganda
videos showing the murders of
foreign hostages at the hands of
Jihadi John, and recruitment
magazine Dabiq.
Other posts needing filling for
ISIS apparently include doctors,
chefs and mechanics to keep its
military operations running.

Less routine is the “bomb
making department”, which
includes making explosives and
being willing to wear them as a
suicide bomber.
Describing the post as a
“beautiful job for those who
truly wish to reap rewards”, Al-
Britani writes: “The brothers in
the bomb making department
are the core and backbone of
nearly every operation…
imagine the reward in preparing
a car packed with explosives for
a brother to go detonate in
enemy lines – you would get the
same reward as the brother
who pushes the behindon and
sends 50 kuffaar (unbelievers)
to hell.”
The list also stipulates the need
for jihadists to man checkpoints
in ISIS-held territories, “a fun
and rewarding job” searching
cars for banned items like
cigarettes and evidence of any
contravention of its laws.
Islamic police are also required,
the document claims, to patrol
the streets to violently enforce
strict Islamic dress codes and
rules.
“They are the ones who carry
out the public lashings and
beheadings,” Al-Britani writes.
“They walk the streets with
their sticks, punishing all those
who break the law.
“They ensure all shops are
closed for salaah times, and if
women are dressed unislamicly
(sic), then their fathers,
brothers or husbands are
punished for not ensuring they
keep their womenfolk within the
confines of the law.”
ISIS’ Sharia courts are also in
need of admin staff, caretakers
and prison guards, although the
list carried a warning that
“spies get executed on the
spot” directed at any “kaffir
reading who thinks he can get
in”.
But the group’s attempt at
domination does not stop with
adults – it extends to children,
reports The Independent.
The jobs list advertises for
school teachers to teach the
“next generation…the correct
Islamic teachings”.
Al-Britani writes: “Imagine the
reward in nurturing a child upon
tawheed (oneness with God)
and jihad (holy struggle)!
“All his efforts and deeds he
does due to you teaching him
will earn you huge rewards. And
many of these children are the
sons and daughters of
Mujahedeen and martyrs.”
