“ISIS using TikTok to recruit young suicide bombers in bid to carry out Christmas attacks,” by Neil Doyle, The Sun, November 20, 2021:
TIKTOK is being used by the terror group Islamic State to recruit young suicide bombers to carry out attacks during Christmas celebrations.
A Sun investigation has found dozens of accounts on the social network, which is popular with children, posting ISIS propaganda and inciting hatred against non-Muslims.
One of the videos posted this week urged supporters to launch mass-casualty terrorist attacks in the West during the Christmas holidays.
The video features moody background sounds and starts by describing Christmas as “the celebration of the Kufar [non-Muslims] & Crusaders.
“They do not believe in Allah, and they make fun of the sacred.
“They are Shaytan [Devil] slaves.”
After showing scenes of Christmas markets and celebrations, the narrator adds chillingly: “Prepare yourself, O soldier of Allah to shed the blood of these Kufar.”
It called for people to become suicide bombers, adding “enter the crowds disguised in their clothes.”
They tell them to bring hidden explosives and to “explode it and plant panic and terror in their hearts.”
The account used to spread the ISIS videos has been operating for 18 months which has been watched thousands of times….
