Muslim Twitter Responds to ISIS Leader: ‘Too Busy Doing Some Netflix’ to Join

ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi recently called for fellow Muslims to join the Islamic State in its fight against the United States, Western nations and all others who oppose the group and its jihadist dedication to Islam. Unfortunately, Al-Baghdadi didn’t count on Muslim Twitter’s snarky responses to the call.

That’s because Iyad El-Baghdadi, an “Islamic Activist,” tweeted excerpts from Al-Baghdadi’s speech online. Other Muslim Twitter users caught wind of El-Baghdadi’s tweets and decided to have some fun while renouncing the call to join ISIS.

So why didn’t they want to join the fight? Aside from not being murderous assholes, they were too busy celebrating their time off from work and school for Christmas:

Sounds like ISIS needs to take a cue from its online detractors and Netflix and chill out.
