The black and white ISIS flag has come to symbolise terror and inhumanity across the Middle East but churches in Australia are putting their own spin on it to use it for good.
That's thanks to a new poster by Outreach Media based on the challenging command from Jesus to love our enemies, even when that enemy is an outfit as brutal and merciless as ISIS.
On first sight, the poster looks like the ISIS flag but look a little closer and you'll see it replaces the Arabic text of the original with the words of Jesus telling his followers to "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" - Matthew 5.44.
