As we learn of the initial casualties in the fight to free Mosul in Iraq from ISIS, the terror group has resorted to playing games to determine who the “lucky” martyrs are. Morale is down for the jihadists as illustrated by some fighters being caught in women’s clothing trying to flee the city after leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had called for all of the women associated with the group to flee the city in light of the fighting. I suppose were I a poorly trained jihadist facing down American and Kurdish Peshmerga forces I would don women’s clothing and head for the hills as well.

Some of the less brilliant or more dedicated, depending on how you view them, have resorted to playing children’s guessing games in order to determine who the next “lucky” martyr will be to strap on a suicide vest and go to meet the 72 virgins of every Islamist’s dream. In the video below one of these geniuses acts as though he has won the lottery when he discovers that he is about to become the man of the hour. Indeed he seems to be the latest jihadi poster boy for ISIS as the star of their latest propaganda video.
