A chilling video showing a group of Egyptian children staging an Islamic State (Isis)-like beheading with wooden sticks has sent shockwaves through the country after it emerged in the aftermath of the brutal execution of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christian workers who were abducted by IS in Libya.

The 24-second video follows the style of clips produced and shared by IS, with two small children kneeling before two bigger children who represent jihadi militants holding wooden sticks to their throats. The group is edged by two other children who hold their wooden sticks like swords.

Another boy speaks to camera and claims: “We have no religion or nation. We slaughter children, women, and the elderly. We have decided the following – to kill all the youths of the town of [inaudible]. Slaughter then, o men!” according to a translation by Bahraini blogger and journalist Amira al-Hussaini on Global Voices.

Then, the two fake militants mimic an IS execution by pretending to behead the victims.
