Now that ISIS is Threatening to Kill Twitter Employees, maybe Twitter will Stop Hosting Terrorist Accounts

Twitter liked claiming credit for the overthrow of Mubarak, but now its social media organization is largely at the disposal of Jihadis. The company has had a fitful and uneven record when it comes to cracking down on terrorist accounts.

Despite occasional takedowns, multiple ISIS accounts are active and running including ISIS Media Hub. You can easily see ISIS Jihadists displaying photos of prisoners, trophies and corpses.

But even the occasional shutdowns have angered ISIS supporters who until recently were thanking their Allah deity for Twitter.

“Praise be to Allah, who gave Twitter to the mujahideen so that they may share their joys and not have listen to the BBC, al-Arabia, Al-Jazeera,” an ISIS affiliate wrote on his Twitter page in Arabic.

The message posted under the profile entitled “Soldiers of Iraq and the Levant,” triggered enthusiastic responses from dozens of jihadists who ‘Praised Allah” for the media platform.

But now they’re less enchanted with Allah’s work on Twitter.

ISIS-affiliated terrorists tweeted a series of death threats to Twitter employees in San Francisco and across Europe, encouraging “lone wolf” attacks on the company’s workers as revenge for shutting down ISIS accounts.

The Twitter account, @dawlamoon, claimed to represent Al Nusra Al Maqdisia, which declared its loyalty to ISIS last February, Vocativ reports. The group, apparently displeased with Twitter for shutting down the accounts of ISIS terrorists, tweeted several threats to the social media giant’s workers, targeting those in San Francisco and Europe.

Along with the hashtag “#TheConceptOfLoneWolfAttacks,” the account signaled its anger with Twitter management’s apparent “campaign” against the vicious terrorist group. The group also included the note “AttackingTwitterEmployees” in one tweet.

“The time has arrived to respond to Twitter’s management by directly attacking their employees and physically assassinating them!! Those who will carry this out are the sleeper cells of death,” one tweet read, according to Vocativ’s translation.

Now that the terror is hitting home, maybe Twitter will finally stop hosting terrorist accounts. Aside from ISIS, Hamas and Hezbollah are both on Twitter.

Twitter also insisted on keeping the Taliban up because they weren’t an official terrorist group.

Joe Lieberman, chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, called on the firm this week to shut down accounts that support the Taliban.

Twitter reportedly rebuffed his call on grounds that the Taliban is not officially designated as Foreign Terrorist Organisation by the State Department.

The Pakistani Taliban account is still up, it just hasn’t bothered to Tweet since last year.

    twitter should keep the accts up, its a way to see what is going on. i read there are 28,000 new ones. sorry i dont remember the source.

  • mollysdad

    Twitter should publish the home addresses of the camel piss drinkers.

  • roccolore

    Just like the Muslims who threaten Europe while demanding the welfare benefits.

    • Sarfaraz

      Welfare is for Christian drop-outs and lazy night-owls – Muslims work and earn by servicing the country they live (they pay tax – unlike the good-for-nothing native Christians).

      • roccolore

        Explain Anjem Choudary and his goons them. No surprise you take the side of jihadists and Sharia apologists who think that benefits are a “jihad seekers’ allowance.” Muslims like you blame the victims for what happened in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, Derby, and Liverpool.

      • Una Salus

        How many Christians are getting welfare handouts in ye olde Muslim lands Sarfarazina?
        Why don’t you get your own style instead of stealing everybody else’s you poser?

        Sarfaraz

        “I am he who is trying to put more ‘non’ into nonsense!”

        Karachi (Sindh-PAKISTAN)

  • Gee

    Kind of like the rioters in Missouri. Burning down businesses to complain about the lack of businesses in the area. Works everytime

  • Jack Schitt

    To stop supporting terrorists on facebook would be a direct violation of their community standards, and it’d be un-islamic

  • Hard Little Machine

    Twitter? In San Francisco? I’m amazed they haven’t simply become ISIS.

  • Sarfaraz

    So it’s proven that ISIS is backed by Europe and the USA (including Canada – Australia).

    • roccolore

      Muslim fascists like you are apologists for ISIS.

    • glpage

      Yeah, right, and Mohammed loved ham sandwiches and beer.

    • Una Salus

      I am he that neglects the Qatar funding of ISIS because Islam’s problem is always somebody else’s issue.

    • laura r

      correct. the US is in bed w/ islam just like europe. look @ the white house.

    • Damaris Tighe

      And of course 9/11 was a Mossad and/or CIA plot. Nothing to do with Muslims. Have you people any idea how detached from reality you are?

  • JERSEY FATMOUTH

    #IslamStinks

  • greatattractor

    Kill these vermin on sight!! Burn them alive, do whatever it takes, but them out of order!!!! For good!

  • laura r

    the muslims have invested in twitter they own part of it.

  • Damaris Tighe

    Useless people who’ve never created anything positive in their lives & who believe that twitter is from allah, not productive human beings.

  • Zerozee0

    Think I’ll place MY faith in Oppenheimer and Einstein….. Just need to start sending “Prayers” of Neutron Bombardment pretty much blanketing the Middle East. Then we’ll only have to deal with the few who are still in the Western nations…..
