Dr Mirza Tariq Ali, 39, who practised on the NHS, has appeared in a chilling recruitment video for the terrorist organisation, urging foreign jihadists to join him. He has also edited an online English-language jihadist magazine, called 'Ihya-e-Khilafat', Revival of the Islamic Caliphate, aimed at recruiting Muslim youths from the West.
