Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria are seeking to attract more foreign recruits by opening two  English-language schools in the terror group's de facto capital city. Activists working undercover in the ISIS stronghold Raqqa uncovered plans for two schools - one for boys and one for girls - where most lessons will be taught in English, not the local Arabic dialect. The plans are just ISIS' latest attempt to build establish a fully-functioning state within the vast swathes of Syria and Iraq it controls through a campaign of rape, massacre and brutal oppression. Last summer the terror group declared the territory a so-called caliphate and said it as the duty of all Muslims around the world to live under the regime. Since then tens of thousands of foreigners have done just that, with English becoming a lingua franca among the militants and their families.

Posted images online of a poster announcing formation of the two schools

One school is for boys while the building next door will be used for girls
@highlight
Religious lessons, Mathematics and English Language will all be in English

But Arabic Language lessons and reading the Koran will still be in Arabic
The purpose of opening English language schools in Raqqa is two-fold - firstly to stop English-speaking families leaving the territory over concerns about their children's education, and secondly to raise a generation of bilingual young men to continue the @placeholder reign of terror for years to come.
