This week a video of an Egyptian wedding went viral when the groom staged a mock Islamic State kidnapping. It was meant to surprise the guests and make people laugh at the terrorist group. Surprising, yes, but it is not the first video of this kind to trend. As the internet fills with more and more comic parodies of Islamic State’s propaganda videos, do they dilute the danger or are they a defence against fear? We speak to Neil Durkin from Amnesty International, and Egyptian tweeter Mona El-Ashry.
