IS millitants and their supporters expressed joy over the death of Saudi King Abdullah, 90 on social media Friday, as per reports in Dailymailonline.
The post on the social networking site read: “The thief of the two holy mosques has died,” wrote a militant supporter on Twitter. “He lived and died as a servant to America.”
Many extremists depict him as a “servant” of the Americans who connive with the West to kill Muslims.
The Saudi royal family was considered as corrupt and unfit to rule by many IS extremists.
Abu Azzam al-Najdi, a jihadi supporter criticized the late king saying: “He sent his warplanes to kill Muslims in (Syria). He imprisoned Muslim men and women and wherever there was a war against jihadis, he was the first.”
Loyalists of the IS and Al-Qaida group alike organized their comments under hashtags some that translate from Arabic into “Death of a Tyrant.”
Another jihadi supporter wrote in English: “The dog that was occupying (the land of the two Holy shrines) has finally
kicked the bucket, no Bush or Obama to save you from Allah.”
