An Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant has reportedly taken to Twitter to debate the merits of Robin William's movies and to express his love and admiration for him.
According to the Daily Mail, a jihadist, who called himself Abdullah, responded to a tweet by a user who was expressing his love for the actor's 1995 film Jumanji. London-based Ibn Fulaan wrote that Williams' death was a shame and he liked his movie. Abdullah, who uses the Twitter handle @Mujahid4life, replied by tweeting, "Good movie. Loved it as a kid."
The jihadist then replied to several queries about his favorite movies. However, when the Twitter users expressed their disbelief at a jihadist talking about his love for western flicks and actors, Abdullah retorted by saying that the militants are humans too and asked why they wouldn't watch movies.
ISIS is an Islamic militant group that has captured large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria and has declared the caliphate in all the areas under its control.
