Last Monday, the group declared Friday ‘ISIS Trolling Day’ and began encouraging anyone with an anti-ISIS stance to harass members of the terrorist group and their supporters through, well, meme-based mockery.
The idea was that we should not be scared of them; the mainstream media always shies away from mocking Daesh for fear of being Islamophobic. But we need to realise that Islam and these maniacs are two completely separate entities. It’s important that we are able to ridicule ISIS without fear of judgement or retribution.
People certainly didn’t disappoint. The posts were hilarious and certainly prove that we will not be cowed, or scared into submission. Everyone was posting under #TrollingDay and you soon realise that most of the jokes were based around goats… Yes they are pretty crude and some might find them offensive, but remember, the target of these are ISIS… Not anybody else.
Here are the best of them:

Although ISIS might find this annoying there is no doubt that it won’t effect their operations. But that really isn’t the point; it’s important that we are able to ridicule these maniacs. It makes them a lot less scary and that can only be a good thing.
