Humour triumphs over terrorism as Twitter Muslims responds to ISIS leader’s call to arms

Is there anything more annoying than when you’re trying to be all serious and call for a jihad and multiple beheading and people can’t be bothered because they’re too busy watching Star Wars?

This is what happened to ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, over the Christmas break when he released this statement below:

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

— İyad el-Baghdadi (@iyad_elbaghdadi) December 26, 2015

[READ THE POST WITH AL-BAGHDADI’S FULL COMMENTS HERE]

Iyad El-Baghdadi is a Muslim who takes delight in trolling ISIS (he is a genius at it) and when he retweeted the terrorist leader’s post, the responses have been both hilarious and indicative of the world’s feelings about ISIS and their insistence on being destructive.

If I were the real al-Baghdadi, after reading these tweets, I would go home and tell my mummy that the boys were being mean to me again. Mind you, that probably how all this started in the first place.

1. There’s this one that is really offended by the design of the whole thing:

@iyad_elbaghdadi sorry, but I can't trust a group that uses a deflating football and Arabic comic sans as their logo

2. Tell them how you really feel, son!

I urgently call upon every Muslim to join in ridiculing Baghdadi and his group of idiots. https://t.co/CqtIZBw4aJ

3. What can I say? When you have stuff to do, you have stuff to do! 😆

4. Have you seen the flights fares? They’re absolute murder!

@iyad_elbaghdadi Sorry dudes. Christmas week. Flights all booked.

5. Coffee? Christmas? What are these fun things of which you speak??

Sorry #ISIS. This Muslim is just waking up. Needs coffee. Also, it's Christmas weekend family time. Run along now. https://t.co/gUODLPdDy6

8. When you’re a part of the Netflix and chill generation, but some dude wants you to come fight a war:

Sorry, I am busy watching Netflix. https://t.co/YyLJ9cQ2nS

9. Priorities, priorites…

Can't. Brunch with family, then horror film marathon. https://t.co/GqI5LOw9VS

10. And by the way, what sort of brute calls for a holy war right at the release of the GREATEST FILM EVEEEEEER???

I've got Star Wars on Sunday. Maybe later. https://t.co/UQ71PkUi4j

Sorry mate, I don't want to risk dying before the next Star Wars comes out. https://t.co/vvnbXmsMfK
