Isis terrorists have a new poster boy – a bearded Egyptian known as the ‘hipster jihadi’ who sports trendy curly hair and black-rimmed glasses.

He’s been pictured on the back of a horse carrying a machine gun and waving a scimitar in the air – and standing in front of a dusty car holding the same weapon.

On Twitter he’s posted gruesome pictures of decapitated heads in a basket and rants glorifying Isis and its murderous leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
