I was confused by the title, and reading the thread has not helped any.  Isis's what now?  They will never have a good image, so why do they bother?

The thread is essentially about irony. ISIS is a group that brutally murders people on video, then proudly puts those videos on the Internet. Now their leader has banned showing the murders in the videos because it makes them look barbaric to other Muslims, who are concerned that their children might see the brutality, not that they would support a group that is so brutal in the first place. Bottom line is that ISIS thinks by no longer showing the murders in the video, they can improve their image. The irony of a group that proudly commits such atrocities being worried about how that makes them look is amusing to me, as far as anything on this topic can be amusing.
