The crazed Islamists created the slickly-produced footage in a bid to stem the huge numbers of terrified people fleeing from the lands they have captured. In desperation they even urge people who have made the journey to return to the Middle East from "crusader" nations in Europe, bragging: “We have phones, internet and cars — where are you going?”

IG ISIS has released a video begging Syrian refugees to return

IG A militant speaks in one of the videos released by ISIS

In four seperate propaganda videos Islamic State fighters show heavily-edited shots of peaceful cornfields and bustling markets packed with fruit and vegetables which they say represent life inside the Caliphate. They juxtapose those with images of refugees abandoning a sinking dinghy and lying on train tracks in Greece, claiming that Europe is "humiliating" migrants. Amongst the images used to dissuade people from making the journey to Europe is the heartbreaking picture of toddler Aylan Kurdi lying on a Turkish beach. The three-year-old's family were fleeing the death and destruction ISIS has wrought in their home city of Kobane. The terror group has even put up billboards in Syria showing a picture of a life-jacket next to one of a bomb vest, accompanied by the question: "What would you rather wear on judgement day?"

In the film an unidentified ISIS militant warns that the lure of a better life in Europe is a "crusader deception", adding: “In the refugee camps they are stealing your money and exploiting you.” The videos warn Syrians against fleeing “territories of Islam” for “territories of the infidels,” and says that those who do will be punished by the Prophet Muhammad. One jihadist tweeted: “The land of the caliphate should be more important for you than the crusaders #where_are_you_heading_refugees?”
