[h=1]Inside the warped world of Jihadi Junior's British mother who shops for nappies with an AK-47 slung over her shoulder before her husband spends the night fighting for ISIS[/h]
Her toddlers stumble around a desolate living room littered with machine guns and a few blocks of Lego.
She later pops to the shops for nappies with an AK-47 slung over her shoulder just in case.
Meanwhile, her husband gets ready for his night shift – waging holy war for ISIS. But not before they've argued over who has the better assault rifle.
Welcome to the twisted world of British jihadi bride Grace 'Khadijah' Dare who has forced her four-year-old son to appear in a sickening ISIS execution video, earning him the nickname Jihadi Junior.

At home with the jihadis: British Muslim convert Grace 'Khadijah' Dare appeared in a documentary two years ago with her ISIS fighter husband Abu Bakr and her son Isa in which she boast about her new extremist life
Life of violence and fear: A fully-veiled Dare and her neighbour head to the shops with their children to buy 'hummus, nappies and a bucket' while carrying Kalashnikovs over their shoulders in case of emergencies
The Muslim convert, from South London, featured in a documentary two years ago at her spartan home in the Syrian city of Aleppo after swapping a comfortable life in Britain for the horrors of war.
In the video, published by Channel 4 News, she extolled the virtues of her adopted religion, declaring: 'I'm not oppressed. If I was oppressed I wouldn't be a Muslim right now.
'If I thought Islam was an oppressive religion, I would have left Islam. Islam has made me free.'
She urges other Muslims to 'stop being so selfish... focusing on your families or studies' and implores them to join jihad in Syria.
Her husband, Abu Bakr, is later seen walking into the house with his AK-47 which he lines up with other weapons in the living room and sits down to play with his son's Lego.

When she returns home, she engages in a bizarre debate with her husband about whose machine guns is better while her toddler son plays in a rubber ring.

In 2014, Dare posted a shocking photograph to her Twitter account of her then four-year-old son Isa, meaning 'Jesus', holding an AK-47 rifle. He bears a remarkable similarity to the child in the latest propaganda video
Back in Britain, Dare's lifestyle couldn't have been more different.
Friends told how she was known for her dimples and her love of her mother's home cooking and enjoyed wearing tight jeans and platforms.
As a child, she had braces and liked to watch football on TV.
When she was older she went to a local college to study media studies, film studies, psychology and sociology, and was a popular young girl.
But it was at the age of 18, that she converted to Islam and began worshipping at the Lewisham Islamic Centre – which has links to both the Woolwich killers of Lee Rigby and radical cleric Abu Hamza.

Her father Henry Dare told Channel 4 News that his grandson is 'definitely' the boy in the sick ISIS video. Mr Dare, who is also known as Sunday, has begged his daughter to return to Britain
Upon travelling to Syria, Dare lied to her family and told them she was travelling to Egypt to further her studies.
In the documentary, she admitted that when she began wearing the full face veil in Lewisham people on the street told her to 'go back to her country', to which she replied: 'I was born round the corner'.
And she was unrepentant of her decision to move to Syria and of her departure from the girl-next-door who traded her promising British life for one of violence and hatred.
It was a move that has propelled her innocent son, Isa, into the ISIS spotlight after he was forced to appear in a horrific execution video.
The four-year-old was paraded in military fatigues and an ISIS bandanna while being made to declare: 'We are going to kill the kaffir (non-believers) over there.'
His grandfather, Henry Dare, 59, said Isa made a desperate plea for help during a heartbreaking phone call just days before he featured in the barbaric stunt, begging: 'Please save me.'
His fate is currently unknown.
Mr Dare, who is also known as Sunday, told The Sun: 'I am devastated they have used my grandson like that — they are using him as a pawn.'

But in an earlier interview, he said of Isa: 'He's my grandson. I can't disown him.' He also urged his daughter to return to Britain to 'face the music'.
He told Channel 4 she had called him from Syria 'weeks ago', having 'brought shame' on the family.
His daughter had told him she was going to Egypt to study and when he found out she was in Syria, 'I dropped the phone on her because I was annoyed'.
Asked if he thought his grandson had any idea what he was saying in the video, Mr Dare – of Deptford, South-East London – said: 'No – he's a kid.
'He's a minor, he's under five. He's acting under the influence of ISIS guerrillas. He's too young.'
Mr Dare added: 'He's propaganda. They are just using a small boy. They are using him as a shield.'
Mr Dare said he had reported Grace to the police on three occasions before she left for Syria and told them "she's behaving in a very funny way".
He added: 'They told me, "She's free". They said she's above 18.'
Talking about his feelings for his daughter and her family, he said: 'I don't want to have any contact with them.
'They've let me down. I'm totally disappointed. She was a Christian, she was brought up in a Christian way – all of a sudden she decided to become a Muslim.'

[h=1]Survivors of ISIS Ramadi siege say the streets are filled with 'dogs eating the heads of Islamic State fighters' after battle to reclaim the city left it unrecognisable[/h]
Survivors of the battle of Ramadi have revealed the devastation left behind after Iraqi government forces reclaimed the city from ISIS militants last week.
The provincial captial of Anbar, some 70miles west of Baghdad, had been under ISIS control since May last year, but now only a handful of fighters remain in the city.
Civilians who have escaped the city say they had been without food for months and that only dogs now roam the streets of Ramadi, feeding on the bodies of dead ISIS militants.

Saved: Iraqi security forces and allied Sunni tribal fighters help trapped civilians in Ramadi on Monday, as they advance into the city in the wake of the siege last week
A woman who fled the city this weekend told of how Ramadi has been reduced to rubble during the battle, and that most ISIS fighters have either fled or been killed in the siege.
'We saw ISIS fighters when we left our houses, we saw their dead bodies in the streets,' she told CNN.
'Dogs are eating their heads. We only saw their hands and their legs.'
She also revealed the dire state families have been left in while ISIS has been in control of the city.
'We have been without food for two months, no water for the past ten days,' she added, speaking from a refugee camp in Habbaniyah, 25 miles east of Ramadi.
'We were surprised when we left our home and drove outside the city, we only saw destroyed houses and roads. We could not recognize the city. It looked like another city.'

Crisis: Witnesses have revealed that civilians in Ramadi have been without food and water for weeks while under ISIS control, and many have been trapped in their homes during the siege

Destruction: A burned out car lies amid damaged buildings in Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad after Iraqi government forces drove ISIS militants out of the city

Marked: A member of the Iraqi security forces runs after planting an Iraqi flag in the ground in Ramadi
Iraqi government troops have been met by civilians waving white flags as they have advanced through the ruined city over the weekend.
'They (Islamic State) are not Muslims, they are beasts,' one of the men rescued from the central district told a reporter accompanying the advancing Iraqi column.
'We thank our security forces, from the soldiers to the generals. They saved us,' the man said before breaking into tears.
Another man added that the fighters had killed seven people who refused to come with them to another district where they were making a stand.
Major Salam Hussein said that ISIS have been using families as human shields. More than 52 families had been rescued so far in the city, he said on Friday.
Another military officer, reached by telephone from the battlefield, said security forces were using loudspeakers to urge civilians to head toward the advancing troops, before calling air strikes from a U.S.-led coalition on residential blocks still held by the militants.
ISIS has recently lost control of Baiji, Sinjar and now Ramadi - all in Iraq - as well as a key dam on the Euphrates in Syria.

Destruction: A picture taken last week as Iraq declared the city of Ramadi liberated from ISIS
Recapturing Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar, was one of the most significant victories for Iraq's armed forces since ISIS swept across a third of the country in 2014.
Iraqi forces backed by US-led coalition air strikes had punched into the city centre last week, with the fighting over the final days of the battle concentrated around the former government complex.
ISIS fighters had been defending with snipers, suicide car bomb attacks and hundreds of roadside bombs and booby traps.The advance by the government forces had also been hampered by the possible presence of dozens of families trapped in the combat zone and used by ISIS as human shields.
After Ramadi, the army plans to move to retake the northern city of Mosul, the biggest population centre under ISIS control in Iraq and Syria.
Dislodging the militants from Mosul, which had a pre-war population close to two million, would effectively abolish their state structure in Iraq and deprive them of a major source of funding, which comes partly from oil and partly from fees and taxes on residents.
Patrick Martin, Iraq analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, said the Ramadi win was the reversal of an earlier loss and would fall short of seriously crippling IS in the area.
'ISIS (IS) remains capable of launching attacks across Iraq without Ramadi, which is more significant for the Iraqi security forces and the Iraqi government than it ever was for ISIS,' he said

[h=1]Woman accused of adultery and prostitution is buried up to her neck and stoned to death by Al-Qaeda in Yemen[/h]
A woman has been stoned to death in south-east Yemen after being accused of adultery and prostitution by an Al-Qaeda Sharia court.
The married woman was reportedly killed in a public execution in the city of Al Mukalla, which has been under the control of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) since April last year.
Al-Qaeda militants 'placed the woman in a hole in the middle of the courtyard of a military building and stoned her to death in the presence of dozens of residents', according to an eyewitness report.
+2
'Justice': The woman was stoned after reportedly 'confessing' to being a prostitute and a pimp, according to a Sharia court set up by Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) (file photo)
'This was the first time we have seen such a thing,' a witness said.
A copy of the purported verdict issued by a local Sharia court set up by the militants in December, said the married woman had 'confessed in front of the judges to committing adultery'.
The verdict said the woman also admitted 'without any coercion that she practised prostitution, as a pimp... and that she worked with a group of women in brothels'.
She also confessed to smoking hashish, it added.
The verdict said that the woman was sentenced to be stoned to death for 'committing adultery as a married woman... and eighty lashes for consuming hashish'.
According to Islamic sharia law, married men or women can be stoned to death for having sex outside wedlock, while those who are unmarried face being lashed.

Stoning as a method of execution have been reported in areas controlled by militant Islamist groups across the Middle-East, including ISIS controlled areas in Syria and Iraq, as well as Taliban territory in Afghanistan.
In Yemen, AQAP militants have carried out summary executions, especially of people accused of sorcery, and chopped off the hands of those accused of theft.
They have also destroyed ancient Sufi mausoleums in Al Mukalla, the capital city of the Hadhramaut coastal region in Yemen, as they consider tombs to be a form of idolatry.
Last week, AQAP militants killed a woman in the southern port city of Aden after accusing her of practising sorcery, just days after ten men were lashed in the city, for consuming alcohol and hashish, witnesses said.
AQAP is considered by the United States to be the most dangerous affiliate of Al-Qaeda and has been taking advantage of the Yemeni state's weakness to expand its control in several areas, including the vast Hadramawt region.
