With little sign that the allure of Islamic State is diminishing, the Government is refocusing its anti-extremism programmes.
The Prevent initiative is now almost entirely devoted to the threat from IS.
Sky News was given rare access to an anti-extremism workshop in Walthamstow, east London.
A class of 20 boys, some as young as 11, were given an uncompromising message.
The objective of Islamic State, they were told, is to "create hostility, to create harm, to kill people".
Addressing the group was Hanif Qadir, a former jihadi fighter who is now an outreach worker helping to steer young people away from extremism.
As the group sat in silence, he told them the methods used by Islamic State were brutal in the extreme and against Islamic law.
He said the terror group advocates killing non-Muslims by any means.
He said their refrain was: "If you can't use a bomb, use a bullet; if you can't use a bullet use a brick.
"Do whatever you can and if you can't do that spit in their face... and if you can't do that, you're not a Muslim."
Mr Qadir told the youngsters: "Now we all know this is nonsense."
It is a stark message, but he told Sky News: "The only way to tackle this problem is do exactly the same as they [Islamic State] are doing, only a little bit better. That's the only way you can do it."
He added: "Using online and social media has been very effective and very potent... we need to do the same and harness social media and the internet as well."
Mr Qadir's group recently released its own internet video, using the Not In My Name hashtag.
The video went viral and was praised by US President Barack Obama.
With confirmation that hundreds of young UK citizens are still being drawn to Islamic State, the Government acknowledges the work of Mr Qadir and his anti-extremism task force has never been more vital.
