“Allah Akbar and thanks to Allah, and the crumbling of the Crusader alliance continues. #Canada stops its strikes against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.” The Islamic State jihadis know who their friends and allies are, although they don’t seem to have noticed that Obama’s airstrikes are largely cosmetic in nature and face-saving in purpose, and aren’t a genuine attempt to “degrade and destroy” the Islamic State.

“Pro-ISIS Activists React Joyously On Twitter To Canada’s Elections,” by Elliot Zweig, MEMRI, October 29, 2015 (thanks to Tony):

…The October 19, 2015 federal elections in Canada, in which Justin Trudeau led his Liberal party to victory and assumed the post of prime minister-designate after nearly a decade of Conservative rule, has elicited the usual diplomatic reactions of congratulations from world leaders and ambassadors. Less known, but perhaps of greater significance, is the reaction by what can be described as “online ambassadors” of the Islamic State (ISIS) and other jihadi fighters and online activists via their social media, and particularly on Twitter….

Prolific pro-ISIS cyber-security activist Abu Adam Al Maghrebi (@wilayatFezzan) tweeted on Election Day: “Reports coming in that Canada’s Liberal Party will be taking a majority position in tonight’s elections.” The next tweet read: “If they win the elections, they will eventually withdrawy [sic] from the anti-IS coalition.”

Others commented on Al Maghrebi’s tweets, including AbuAiysha (@WilayatAnbar):

Justin albequw: “I highly doubt they will withdraw cause at the end of the day Canada is a u.s. lab [sic] dog and the u.s. is owned by the yahuud.”

AbuAiysha: “Trudeau’s father was also the PrimeMinister.”

AbuAiysha: “Your right, Liberals said ‘we will support fight against IS but won’t send our jets'”

Ustaz Hussein: “Trudeau was a decent man, his son is like him. This will be a huge antiwar political victory in Canada.”
