MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN trolling the so-called Islamic State online by explaining why they can’t join the terrorist group.
They were responding to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi calling for all Muslims to “join the fight” in an audio message. He reportedly stated: “The war on the Islamic State is a war on Islam and Muslims.”
Arab Spring activist Iyad El-Baghdadi tweeted some lines from the message:
Many Muslims took to Twitter to explain why they can’t join, with the excuses ranging from a Netflix binge to making carrot cake:
Nicely done.

Funnyiest sight of the day was celebrity candidate Graine Seoige on news— she actually looked shocked at getting trounced
@Frank Mc Carthy: nah the funniest is how you spelt funnyiest
@J B: Did you put your name on the ballot paper – don’t think so
I say
@Tim Brennan: shut up tim
@james rowan: didn’t know there was a grammar police I’ve never had to ring them but when trolls with multiple accounts come on here trying to be smart arses they should at least spell properly
@barry williams:
Capitalisation and punctuation are important too. You must have missed that day in school.
Thank you very much Meath East for Helen McEntee.hope yee are happy with this.
@Jb Walshe: Ye sometimes have to wonder. Worst minister for justice in living memory.
@Jb Walshe: can’t believe people were gullible enough to vote her back in no wonder the country’s the way it is now
@Jb Walshe: I’m seriously pee’d off too… Democracy?! I had THREE votes/ ballot cards- Dublin South Central, Dublin Central and DL/ Rathdown. Obviously I didn’t break the law and only voted once but I’m sick and tired of contacting the Dept to take my name off two of the electoral registers. I’m sure I’m not the only one. It’s farcical. To say I’m disappointed with the candidates who were voted in to the constituency in which I did vote would be an understatement.
If Hutch goes into coalition with FF/FG he can be just perfect Justice Minister.
@Sergej Simonov: ha ha ha thank you I actually just peed my pants!!:)
Delighted to have Noel Dempsey’s daughter representing and working for you
Just read the article again hadn’t noticed Lowry I’m laughing but not in a ha ha tummy laugh way… WTF is wrong with us as an electorate?! Whatever about the Healy Reas but Lowry like seriously?? Stockholm syndrome or what man
@Dave G Doe: get any sleep last night Frank,thought you’d be out like a light after them fine beers in Brushes. Sleep deprivation can create psychosis which could lead to multiple personality disorder Tim.
@Dave G Doe: see what I mean,sleep deprivation can create problems for you,”you are not taking this result well”… that’s just random,makes no sense Frank XD
Monk in great news!! He can lock up the old bill now who harassed him for years.
@Basildon Joe: Imagine being kept in custody for year on a murder charge with no evidence. Garda with MTK reg plates.
@Stephen: he is laughing now…a great movie of his life one day I hope.
@Basildon Joe: It must be sickening for those that actually worked for and in the constituency.
@Stephen: still….pales into insignificance compared to what those animals in America did to president Trump with their witch hunts and assassin’s bullets
@honey badger: when the Democrats were crying on news in US on Nov 6th…. some character held up a big sign that said…..” DEMOCRACY BABY”!!!
@Basildon Joe: I know three people who live out in Glasnevin. Two of them are Fianna Fáil voters and one of them is a Labour voter. All three of them gave Gerry Hutch their number 1 vote yesterday. He is an excellent protest vote as he is the exact opposite of the excessive elitism that has a stranglehold on the major parties. All three of them are middle-aged and middle-class average citizens but they were just fed up with the lack of common sense coming out of the Dáil. I’d rather an honest crook in the Dáil than the dishonest ones that we have now. At least gangs have honour codes. No such thing exists in the Dáil. Although he’s not in my constituency, I wish him the best of luck if he gets the seat. He’ll certainly shake things up, that’s for sure.
@honey badger: this is it, and sickening I’d say for youth workers in the north inner city. And commenters here painting him as some kind of Robin Hood character
@Frank O’Hara: agreed Frank, the ultimate protest. Gerry definitely will do more for the people than the shameless politicians ever did though. Good luck to him I say.
@Kevin Kerr: hi stalker…… simple question……. Yes or no……did Gerrard get totally vindicated in four courts & walk out the front door with his head held high to rapturous applause? YES OR NO??
@Kevvy kerrr: NO… he walked out of the CCJ not the Four Courts
@Brian Lyons: haha, whatever you say Mr pedantic,lol
@Kevvy kerrr: Gerry Hutch made a €1.2M settlement with CAB, being tax owed on income that he could not account for. This is a fact. The fact that he walked free in a murder trial is neither here not there – he is a gangland criminal, widely known to be responsible for armed robbery, drug importation and money laundering, not to mention tit for tat murders in Dublin. Veronica Guerin was not wrong when she reported on his activities.
@Basildon Joe: he’s running for the Dail not the guards you clown
First rule of law…..” Innocent until proven guilty”……we enjoy a legal system in this country — NOT some stalkers kangaroo court
@Andrew Speers: they work for him now, he is their boss.
@Andrew Speers:
@Kevvy kerrr: yes we do have a legal system, one that I respect – if the state can not produce the evidence, then it is only right that he is not convicted. But that doesn’t get away from what everyone knows about Hutch, and the fact that people knowingly voted for him is depressing. The fact that his probable election makes you happy says a lot about you, and not a lot of good. But hey, that’s democracy, isn’t that right?
@Kevvy kerrr: Courts of law do not return verdicts of innocent.
@Basildon Joe: old bill? You’re watching too much eastenders
@Frank O’Hara: you’re insane
@Frank O’Hara: “At least gangs have honour codes”
You been watching to much Netflix wee man ,every one of them will turn grass if they get caught.
Spend their time trying to scam everyone they know in order to get what they want,pushing drugs and ruining peoples life
@Basildon Joe: he didn’t laugh for long
Must feel like winning the Lotto
It’s hard to believe that as a country we have voted in the same shower that have mishandled every fragment of governance within this state.
It just proves the point that we are probably more divided than most nations,that we only care about the issues that effect us,f..k thy neighbour and all that.As a proud Irishman I’m ashamed.
Dun Laoghaire deserves everything that they can get voting in that horrible person getting in 1st you shower of W…..
@Bernard Connolly: just look at the areas in the constituency, killiney, dalkey, blackrock,foxrock etc areas unlikely to vote for left leaning politicians, though we get a token left-wing politician
the RTE graphics coverage is brutal
@Tim Brennan: Lol, you reckon they kept the “graphics” department after being slaughtered by the Irish people? hardly
With all candidates being Irish what am I missing that SF seem to think they own the Tricloour
@Ray Martin: It’s nauseating to watch they hijack everything it’s my flag too, and I’ll never vote SF.
@Paul O’Mahoney: have you seen what’s been done to our flag at anti immigration protests. Disgraceful.
Monk is winning
@Meatball Martin: Eh no he’s not Mary Lou actually won the constituency. Monk will scrape in 4th.
@Meatball Martin: Party at the CAB HQ
Best result was Brian Stanley getting elected and depriving SF of another seat despite the best efforts Mary Loo and her kangaroo court. You made your bed now lie in it Mary Loo ( unless your colleagues finally realize that you’re a liability and kick you out).
Turn was poor because the dole heads were in the pubs on Friday spending their hard earned welfare
The people have spoken and have decided they want FF/FG to run the country for the next five years. The election is over.
It disturbs me to see such glee on the faces of those who are facing what should be the most serious jobs in Ireland. Is it the power or the money they are celebrating?
Can’t beat the gravy train it’s the gift that keeps on giving with no accountability ever.
FI and ff are fluffy duster in government and the old generation voted for them. Sadly housing, health, police crisis will not change. Their attitude is to dismiss the electorate like Simon Harris dismissed the carer.
Off topic but kinda related… how has it taken 5.3 million to keep that boat tied up for a year.. wtf
@Andy Mc Laughlin: grease is expensive these days
have your say
