A video of a jihadist commander in Syria drawing inspiration for an impassioned speech to his fellow militants from a little girls’ favorite Hello Kitty note pad has gone viral on the internet.
The address by Zahran Alloush, the head of Jaysh al-Islam, was aimed against the rival Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
In late June, ISIS declared the captured territories, from Iraq's Diyala province to Syria's Aleppo, a ‘caliphate’, with its leader being Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and announced that from now on it should be called ‘The Islamic State’.
The two groups are currently involved in a battle for control over the Ghouta area, a collection of farms surrounding the south and east of the Syrian capital Damascus.
