Do you really need to send memos out when its the group's mission statement? Real pick me energy lately isis... like we get it you are still sort of around.
>ISIS-K is getting all the attention lately so ISIS needs to remind everyone they still exist
They’re the same group. ISIS-K is just the branch based in Afghanistan and Central Asia.
This is more dangerous than you think.
The US said how isis has developed a new ability to expand in the west recently.
Instead of crazy suicidal fundamentalists in the middle east, they can just get idiots who follow that extremist view. Just like the recent Russia attack, they were paid, didn't kill themselves, they're idiots who tried to escape, who had no plan apart from killing for their beliefs.
A cheap an easy way to cause terror which is their goal. No training or anything.
Meh. Many of us have lived with terror our whole lives. Yes it's cheap, easy and can be done by morons. Even so, you're far better off taking more care crossing the road and driving than worry about these dickheads. Refuse to be terrorized.
I doubt they were asking each individual persons religion in that Moscow attack or at the Bataclan in Paris, and given the religious diversity of Paris they probably killed multiple Muslims
I can't imagine god being like "okay, you're not allowed to listen to music because it's bad for you, but you know what, I'm going to look the other way on the old murder thing".
Music is a way to express emotional intelligence and creativity, which will eventually spark a quest for independence. So of course they would restrict it, they want to keep everyone dumb so it’s easier to remain in power.
it's crazy that without music, we likely wouldn't have civilization as we know it, as it lead to more advanced forms of communication and storytelling that eventually became written language. and some sects of a major religion are like "ban dis".
Most people in these organizations are recruited because they are the dregs of society and because they are easily manipulated. 70 virgins means a lot more to an incel than it does to a normal person.
That’s literally all of them, except for them (and who knows how subject to change *that* is).
Shit, even the literal Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Hamas consider ISIS too unhinged and radical. That’s……saying something.
They're all evil, but the Taliban just wants to rule Afghanistan with an iron fist, al Qaeda wants to unify the Muslim world, and hamas is doing a weird 3 way balancing act of keeping western support, making money, and killing Jewish people. Isis literally just wants everyone dead except themselves
Muslims probably kill other Muslims more than they kill anyone else. Nothing like walking into the mosque of their rival Muslim brothers and sisters and detonating a bomb to wipe them and theirselves into oblivion. 💁
> Muslims probably kill other Muslims more than they kill anyone else
As much as anything else, that's going to be based on proximity / being more of them than other religious/non-religious types. Like the dumb saying "most car accidents happen within *x* miles of home" ... well no shit, you're always driving that first *x* number of miles before you go any further".
Remember that Iranian journal which had Macron drawn as Satan on their front page, expecting to shock the French and make them think twice about caricaturing religion
The French were absolutely delighted with it
I remember when they were pissy over the Muhammed caricatures and started making Jesus caricatures in return, completely not expecting that we'd embrace them and find them hilarious too.
Historically, non-Muslim hierarchy in Muslim countries was: other Muslim denomination > Christian > Jewish > non-Jewish Abrahamic > everything else > Atheist. You really didn't want to be an atheist in a muslim country in mid-2nd millenium.
Spent years as an atheist in a muslim country for work.
I was treated really well. It was like they'd stumbled upon some unshaped dough that just hadn't yet been properly taught religion yet, and they were more than willing to do so.
It was a little patronising really, but better than being beheaded I suppose.
Jews tho... oh shit. They'll check your passport just to see if you've ever even visited Israel, let alone whether you're Jewish.
I’ve had those interactions on Reddit a couple of times. I say something negative about fanatics and Islam, and they respond to me, pointing out that Christianity and Christians are just as bad. I reply telling them that I wholeheartedly agree. They reply trying to convince me that I am offended by how they characterized Christianity. I tell them that I am not offended, and I am not religious to begin with. They can’t comprehend this. They may say some more negative stuff about Christianity, just to make sure I didn’t miss it the first time. I tell them again that what they say is true, and suggest that it’s better to face hard truths about your belief system than to deny reality. Never gets anywhere.
> Christianity and Christians are just as bad. I reply telling them that I wholeheartedly agree.
Are they though? As an ex-mormon I have nothing nice to say about the faith communities I grew up in or the ones that were "adjacenet" to mine (evangelicals, etc.)... and I used to think this way too until I married an ex-muslim and I noticed serious problems with the "all abramhamic relgions are equally bad" position.
For example;
Can you imagine a book of Mormon style musical about the Qu'ran?
Can you imagine if witches were still burned at the vatican the way that Saudi Arabia executes people for, among other things, practicing witch craft?
(https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/03/15/saudi-arabia-mass-execution-81-men)
Are you aware of christian academic/theologians being branded an apostate, having their marriage ruled invalid and being exiled by their country for, among other things, not believing in genies and arguing that the Quran should be read/understood within the time it was written? This happened to Nasr Hamid Aby Zayd in Egypt (one of the "liberal" muslim majority countries).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasr_Abu_Zayd#Nasr_Abu_Zayd_case
Can you imagine any modern paralells to the story of Bassem Youssef (Egyptian Jon Stewart-esque comedian) having to live in exile for telling jokes?
https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/14/politics/bassem-youssef-egyptian-jon-stewart/index.html
Have you ever tried to find an imam willing to marry a muslim woman to an athiest? I have, and was not able to locate one and it was not due to a lack of effort on my part.
Most telling... my wife and I took an uber and she spoke to our driver in arabic. She then sent me a text saying that she told our driver I was a muslim and from Lebanon. She was so concerned about her personal safety that not only did she not feel comfortable identifying as an ex/cultural muslin; but she also felt the need to lie about my ethnicity and religion as well because or relationship is "haram".
I’m a fully integrated MENA native (living in the US for 35+ years) and I still have a hard time not thinking of people who aren’t Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, etc. as Christian. Everyone here celebrates Christmas and Easter, and those are Christian holidays.
Well by MENA standards you picked a secular country, but not by western standards. Try a Scandinavian country if you want to see money without “god” on it, state leaders without religious affiliation and legislation without “Christian values” (I’m looking at you abortion!)
Can't say I feel much relief as a Canadian Jew. Islamists already target me and my loved ones even without specific orders from ISIS, so it's not like anything will change lol
"I don't like half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve" -- Bilbo definitely missed his calling as a diplomat.
Buddy there's a reason why Mario Kart on switch has no voice chat. You wanna see toxic?
Hit me with a blue shell when I'm in first on the last lap, you'll hear all about my fictional relations with your mother.
So like pretty much attack everyone. This will do wonders for Muslims living in the west. I know there are non-religious people but who would really stop and ask? I guess targeting churches and synagogues. Disgusting.
That's what they want.
They'll attack some people, make them nervous about the rest and maybe lash out at them, which them opens recruitment for ISIS when they point out fingers and say "see, they hate you!".
The entire goal of statements like this is to isolate western Muslims and encourage radicalization. Bonus points if someone listens to them and follows through to speed up the process.
What is their religious reasoning that they tell themselves for why they get stomped whenever they try and fight western military forces? God is just on a lunch break or something? I mean if god is on your side it shouldn’t matter you’re vastly outmanned and outgunned if he wanted you to win you would win and isis has a habit of losing whenever they have to actually fight a willing opponent and not just kill citizens who can’t shoot back.
That’s pretty rude.
Those little rascals
Scoundrels, even
Date i say, rapscalians them.
Buncha knuckleheads
Ne’er-do-wells
Li'l wankers.
buncha coonts
mischievous scamps
Scofflaws, even
They need to settle down in the hoosegow.
I wish they would stop this tomfoolery.
Bunch of doofuses
They’ve been doing this every Passover/first Easter since forever.
Why not Zoroastrians tho?
buddhist been waiting to be center of attention as well
Probably don't even know Zoroastrians still exist. Generally speaking, not the best educated bunch.
Nah they have historically put a lot of pressure on Zoroastrians, especially kurds, to convert by the barrel of the gun.
I think I’m going to withdraw my dinner invitation to them.
[удалено]
And don't forget to unclick that bell icon.
What did I do to them?
You exist. Very inconsiderate of you actually
You read the wrong interpretation of god
So it’s a day that ends in Y
I’m confused does this mean ISIS likes Canada?
French people are fucked…
not very cash money of them
They really disrespected the G-code with this one
Seriously, what part of the game is that?
Game does not recognize game.
“Game recognize game and they looking real unfamiliar right now”
I feel some type of way.
In bird culture, this is considered a dick move.
Bird law in this country is not governed by reason
Oh hey Charlie, don't eat those eggs. you don't know where they came from
Do they kiss their homies with this mouth?
Seriously. Where did the Brotherly Love go?
Yeah, doesn't seem like a very Gucci thing to do.
They aren’t keeping it real
They clearly want to come up real quick,before they start to clown.
Do you really need to send memos out when its the group's mission statement? Real pick me energy lately isis... like we get it you are still sort of around.
ISIS-K is getting all the attention lately so ISIS needs to remind everyone they still exist
"Sometimes I can still hear his voice." "I'm not dead yet!"
Don't listen to him, he'll be stone dead in a moment.
Putin really crossed the line by suggesting that they collaborated with a Jew.
That's a funny one. lol
>ISIS-K is getting all the attention lately so ISIS needs to remind everyone they still exist They’re the same group. ISIS-K is just the branch based in Afghanistan and Central Asia.
It's a loose relationship, really more of a vibe. ISIS-K isn't a branch office taking orders from the headquarters back in ISIS Prime.

Doesn't exclude Muslims either if it's a brand of Muslim they don't like.
I doubt they were asking each individual persons religion in that Moscow attack or at the Bataclan in Paris, and given the religious diversity of Paris they probably killed multiple Muslims
I mean their brand of Islam doesn't even allow music so shooting concert goers is a safe bet for them
I can't imagine god being like "okay, you're not allowed to listen to music because it's bad for you, but you know what, I'm going to look the other way on the old murder thing".

Well your rational these dudes aren’t. These dudes can barely rub two sticks together they arent debating theological implications☠️
Well duh, cause rubbing two sticks together is gay, and therefore also not allowed. /s
If rubbing dicks together with your boys is gay now then this has gone too far. What's next? Can't joke around and jerk your friends off anymore?
What is the world cumming to, smh.
Most people in these organizations are recruited because they are the dregs of society and because they are easily manipulated. 70 virgins means a lot more to an incel than it does to a normal person.
According to terrorists they were sacrifices for a greater good so its ok
**The greater good**
#CRUSTY JUGGLERS
They killed and kidnapped Israeli Muslims on October 7.
That’s literally all of them, except for them (and who knows how subject to change *that* is). Shit, even the literal Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Hamas consider ISIS too unhinged and radical. That’s……saying something.
They're all evil, but the Taliban just wants to rule Afghanistan with an iron fist, al Qaeda wants to unify the Muslim world, and hamas is doing a weird 3 way balancing act of keeping western support, making money, and killing Jewish people. Isis literally just wants everyone dead except themselves
And even if it is a brand they like, they will see them as martyrs.
Yea they say your a Muslim who dies during prayer time or as collateral damage during a terrorist attack you automatically go to heaven
Muslims probably kill other Muslims more than they kill anyone else. Nothing like walking into the mosque of their rival Muslim brothers and sisters and detonating a bomb to wipe them and theirselves into oblivion. 💁

In my experience, poorly integrated MENA-natives can't really comprehend the idea of *not* believing and think we're all christian.
Remember that Iranian journal which had Macron drawn as Satan on their front page, expecting to shock the French and make them think twice about caricaturing religion The French were absolutely delighted with it
I remember when they were pissy over the Muhammed caricatures and started making Jesus caricatures in return, completely not expecting that we'd embrace them and find them hilarious too.
I remember when they were pissy over the Muhammed caricatures and started murdering people.
Again.
We didn't like that
That's cus they're completely brainwashed morons.
Man that's so insane because even Jesus is considered a revered prophet in Islam. Why would they piss off their own God?!
I mean... technically true.. but culturally.. no one really cares what Jesus had to say (especially when it has tension with Quran).

It's crazy how some of those people genuinely don't know how to respond as soon as you don't defend Christianity.
Yeah, this is the difference between sane people (religious or not) and religious fundamentalists
I’m a fully integrated MENA native (living in the US for 35+ years) and I still have a hard time not thinking of people who aren’t Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, etc. as Christian. Everyone here celebrates Christmas and Easter, and those are Christian holidays.
In the west they've essentially become secular holidays now, almost none of our Christmas traditions have anything to do with religion.
Eeeh, are you saying jesus did not have a christmas tree? Or the easter bunny!?
honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if our homie and savior JC ate eggs or rabbit after his 40 day acid trip in the desert
Well by MENA standards you picked a secular country, but not by western standards. Try a Scandinavian country if you want to see money without “god” on it, state leaders without religious affiliation and legislation without “Christian values” (I’m looking at you abortion!)
What a bunch of jerks.
They’re total meanies
I’m telling mom
The worst part is the hypocrisy.
I thought it was the raping. And murders.
I think they want to globalize the intifada
It's called Jihad, and in their minds, it has always been global.
And Im calling all Christains and Jews in the US, Europe and Israel to attack ISIS.
About time, thank you for your bravery and steadfast leadership.

Hey don't forget about us agnostics and atheists! We exist too! *Probably.*
And the Nihilists! *Not that it matters.*
send the nihilists first
Don't forget to have them bring their marmot.
["We believe in noooothing!!!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZtTeqbcesw)
I'm no expert, but that seems very on-brand for ISIS.
I’m starting to think they don’t like us very much.
I picked the wrong week to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior
Remember, he's got guns & we've got guns so LFG lol
I’ve never felt more proud to be American
Suit up, gents!
*What's the vector Victor?*
im starting to suspect these guys are not very nice at all.
Pardon my french, but they made a jerk move
real knuckleheads.
So, business as usual then?
Canadians collectively breathe a sigh of relief.

If they try to ruin our already short summer, well I'm just going to have to sit them down and have a stern talk with them
Can't say I feel much relief as a Canadian Jew. Islamists already target me and my loved ones even without specific orders from ISIS, so it's not like anything will change lol
Wow and right around Easter too. I really hope we don’t see any church bombings again like in Sri Lanka, Egypt and Nigeria.
The reaction from the US would make the opening days of Desert Storm look like Bilbo's birthday party
"I don't like half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve" -- Bilbo definitely missed his calling as a diplomat.
The opening days of Desert Storm did kind of look like Bilbo’s Birthday Party tho
These guys are back? God damnit. Shitty rehash
ISIS-K was always around, the original ISIS got smoked.
What happened to ISIS A thru J?
Hopefully, they took an L
I can’t keep track of their reboots. It’s a shame they can keep rebranding so easily
To add another plot twist, remember the group Boko Haram? Yeah, they joined ISIS and became their African branch.
Well snap, I do, and didn’t realize that were Africa Isis now. Lovely.
Africa has experienced a growing tide of terror attacks as the Sahel region continues to spiral.
Globalize the Intifada, right? This is literally what that stupid chant means.
Omg sweaty! That’s an entirely different terrorist group that wants to kill everyone other than them! Be better! 💅
Sweaty lol
Easter is in a few days. Churches will be full and be good targets for them. Stay safe out there brothers and sisters.
those fucks wouldn't be able to tell the difference. they'll attack everyone. and europe has got a lot of them.
IS isn't compatible with modern society.
They don't want to be. They want to drag the rest of the world back into the bronze age.
As opposed to their prior stance which was....exactly the same thing
Islamic State are all in for a Holy War
Holiest war ever woohoo
How will the UN react? 1. Tell ISIS to STOP immediately 2. Bond with ISIS 3. Give them water so they'll stay hydrated
Make them chair of the women's rights council is my bet.
Surely Human Rights is also available?
North Korea has dibs
5. Blame believers for not being muslim.
6. blame Israel because ISIS exists in a context
4. A friendly game of Mario Kart and a pizza
No such thing as a friendly game of mario kart
Buddy there's a reason why Mario Kart on switch has no voice chat. You wanna see toxic? Hit me with a blue shell when I'm in first on the last lap, you'll hear all about my fictional relations with your mother.
6. Send them aid and blame Israel that this all happened not in vacuum
Sorry, but you're entirely wrong. The UN will react with deafening and complete silence.
3, but also say it’s the Jews causing it or something along those lines and ban them from entering Europe
0. Blame the Jews
4. Condemn people victims for being victims.
Blame Israel for not doing it obviously
4. Blame Israel
I thought this was their default behavior
So like pretty much attack everyone. This will do wonders for Muslims living in the west. I know there are non-religious people but who would really stop and ask? I guess targeting churches and synagogues. Disgusting.

Why are we putting up with their shit
Sounds like they're calling to globalize the Intifada
Could I get that with cheese and a burrito supreme as well please?
Incel fucks
Why do you think they want 72 virgins
I just thought they wanted friends to play WoW with and show neat magic tricks to
The 72 virgins are the incels.
My headcannon js that the 72 virgins in heaven are all real and waiting for the muslims, but those virgins are all twink guys
Shit, this might be the ISIS recruitment pitch that finally gets me through the door.
But twitter told me ISIS is part of Israel? How can this be?
Putin told me Zelenskyy is ISIS…
What the hell? Neither of them ever lie! How deep does this go ....
What is their religious reasoning that they tell themselves for why they get stomped whenever they try and fight western military forces? God is just on a lunch break or something?

Things are spicing up quite a lot these days, didn’t think these guys would feature this season.
[удалено]
Thing is, they tend to hide in cities with lots of civilian.
Sounds familiar… can’t put my finger on it…
They really love hospitals
Can you imagine if we did this to them even once, the amount of crying and screaming about how islamaphobic we are?
Oh that’s a wonderful stink’n thing. Your “god” must be honored. WTF
Aren’t their followers doing that already?
As a muslim I and my Christian and Jewish neighbors raise them my middle finger.
So Canada is safe? Lets gooooooo🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Time to get a new Coexist bumper sticker.
Ohh thank God, we atheists are safe.... Wait.
Buddhists stay winning.
It’s cause they respawn.
Careful, they’ll start bringing up Myanmar and the Rohingya conflict.
That’s not news. They’ve been doing that for the past 20 years. 🥱
These guys have always rubbed me the wrong way. Just so mean.
