"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

IS propaganda pushes state-building, Quilliam study finds- BBC News

Most propaganda from the self-styled Islamic State now aims to prove it is a genuine nation, rather than glorify acts of violence, a study suggests.
Security think tank Quilliam said the fighting group was going to huge lengths to sell itself as a viable and functioning transnational state.
IS media teams produced 900 separate reports, rulings, videos and radio programmes in one month, it found.
It said 469 of these - more than half - focused on civilian life and statehood.
These were spread worldwide through social media search terms and hashtags, to dodge attempts to close down its "official" social media channels.
