ISIS have apparently issued travel advice telling terrorists to avoid Europe because of the virus!
Every cloud has a silver lining!

So they're not scared of blowing themselves (and innocent others) to smithereens, but they are scared of a bout of flu ?

Doesn't say much about their faith does it ?

You know it’s bad when even the terrorism industry is taking a hit

you gotta laugh!

I think they advised this as there wouldn’t be any people on the streets, so any terrorist activity wouldn’t have any impact.

@GrumpyHoonMain that could be the reason! The article I read said that they did not want their fighters to become infected in ‘the land of the epidemic’

They'd also be quite noticeable! GrinGrinGrin

They're old news for the moment.

"Fuck, what the hell was that?".
"That dodgy looking bloke with the beard and rucksack just shouted Allahu akbar".
"Oh is that all? I thought somebody sneezed, I was shitting myself".

@GrumpyHoonMain That figures. It would hardly be concern for the young terrorists' welfare, would it? They're quite happy for them to blow themselves to smithereens along with others who are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

They may have just bobbied off to Iran.
All Iranian health workers have been martyred by iyotollah wassisname so suicide bombing v nursing?

isis-issues-coronavirus-travel-advice-terrorists-should-avoid-europe

all a bit odd - it's hardly like they're worried about returning with COVID is it ?

Suddenly not only do they not seem remotely scary, they also emerge as a bit comical. I'm going to hazard a guess we'll have to have a(nother) name change soon so they can regain their gravitas.
