He should have posed as a “Mipsterz”.

‘You can do what you want with your husband when you’re alone with him. You owe him anything and everything. But only him.
‘You need to fulfill his every wish. You can wear whatever you want under your sitar and burqa. Garter belts, fishnet stockings, anything your husband might like.
‘Do you like pretty lingerie, baby?’
It makes the skin crawl just reading these slimy words, intended by a high-ranking ISIS jihadi to seduce a young western woman into joining him in Syria as his wife.
But the 20-year-old Muslim convert Abu Bilel thought he was sweettalking on Skype was actually a French journalist pretending to be in love with him.
The reporter Anna Erelle, the pseudonym under which she has published a book about her month-long ‘relationship’ with Bilel, also uncovered the 38-year-old militant’s embarrassing attempts at seduction.[…]
It all started when Melodie, a profile Anna had used before to explore the world of cyber jihadis, absent-mindedly shared a video of Bilel’s in which he poses in fatigues with an M16 rifle boasting about how it had been stolen from a marine in Iraq.
In the footage Bilel, himself originally from France, took off his Ray-Bans to reveal eyes plastered with eyeliner just like Melodie’s – a trick allegedly borrowed from Afghan soldiers to stop them tearing up when exposed to smoke.
Within hours the highest-ranking French ISIS fighter in Syria, a man claiming to be a jihadist for 15 years who was close to the group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had messaged her.
‘Salaam alaikum, sister. I see you watched my video. It’s gone viral – crazy! Are you Muslim?
‘What do you think of mujahideen?
‘Last question: are you thinking about coming to Syria?’
Melodie humours her new suitor, who sends a disbelieving Anna a picture of himself ‘puffing out his chest’ with an M4 assault rifle ‘slung across his shoulder’.
Having yet to see Melodie’s face, Bilel the ‘honey-tongued’, ‘evil genie’ begs if he can ‘be [her] boyfriend’.
Bilel is soon pressing Melodie to speak to him on Skype until a couple of days after he first message her, they are looking at each other across a computer screen, her face covered by a veil but his eyes ‘still accentuated by dark eyeliner…smoulder[ing] as he gazed at the young Melodie, as if trying to cast a spell.‘
‘A lot of women fantasise about us; we’re Allah’s warriors.’
‘I kill anyone who tries to prevent Islam from dominating the world.’
‘You’re my jewel, you’re pure.’ […]
When she expresses reservations about flying to Turkey so she can make her way to Syria and be with Bilel, he rants: ‘From now on you’re going to shut up.
‘I’m part of a terrorist organisation. You can’t talk to me like that. Don’t you know who I am? I command 100 soldiers every day.
Scary: Anna’s book ends with a fatwa being taken out against her, as she is branded ‘more impure than a dog’
‘I haven’t even told you a quarter of the truth. I’m wanted internationally; that’s why I can’t even go to our cities in Turkey.
‘I can only travel to Iraq. I’m 38, you brat, and you and your friend can’t bring me down.
‘You don’t know who I am. You’d better tread lightly.
‘Where are you, you little bitch? I swear to Allah, you’re going to pay’
‘You wanted to make an idiot out of me; I’ll make you pay. ROFL.’
