ISIS in Raqqa put out an unusual piece of video propaganda over the weekend -- a drama. While it is not uncommon for jihadist videos to feature vignettes that dramatize propaganda elements, such as B-roll footage of someone at a computer, or in training, this is the first time I can recall that a jihadist outfit has put out a proper fiction story with a beginning, middle and end, featuring actors and characters with their faces shown.
