ISIL: Savages of the world, unite!
The best marketing strategy that ISIL has at its disposal is having the U.S. and the West pose as its enemies on the battlefield. The stupid "Mujahideen" hear about the U.S. airstrikes and flock to the group that is fighting the "infidels." In reality, we know the U.S. is doing very little damage to ISIL's positions and military hardware in Syria and Iraq, and is secretly giving an endless amount of arms and money to the terrorist group via third parties such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
