Muslims Drown ISIS Leader’s Message With Humour on Social Media

In a reminder that majority of people follow Islam peacefully, Muslims mocked Baghdadi’s message on social media.

The Islamic State (ISIS) released a new audio message on Saturday, purportedly of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, challenging the United States of America and its allies to confront his extremist group on the ground in Iraq and Syria.

However, in a reminder that the overwhelming majority of people follow Islam peacefully and detest radical ideas, Muslims around the world have mocked Baghdadi’s message on social media.

ISIS leaders: We urgently call upon every Muslim to join the fight, especially those in the land of the two shrines (Saudi Arabia), rise.

When the Arab Spring activist Iyad el-Baghdadi (no relation) translated the message, dozens of people sent back these funny replies.

Some Just Made it Awkward for the ISIS Leader

How annoyed Baghdadi must be, when it is clear that so few Muslims regard his call for any kind of jihad, personal or communal, to be valid.
