Islamist militants turn to Twitter to debate the merits of late actor's films
Several singled out Williams' 1995 fantasy adventure film Jumanji for praise
Later condemned him after YouTube clip showed Williams mocking jihadists
Debate changed to films in general revealing Western past of ISIS fighters
19-year-old British-born fighter named Lion King as one of his favourite films
'Abdullah', who uses the Twitter handle @Mujahid4Life, went on to praise Star Wars and Schindler's List but attacked Game of Thrones for 'nudity'
ISIS militants fighting in Iraq and Syria have greeted the death of Hollywood actor Robin Williams with bizarre Twitter outbursts declaring their love for his 1995 film Jumanji.
As news broke of the 63-year-old's death in an apparent suicide, Islamist militants and their supporters took to social media to discuss the merits of Williams' long career in the film industry.
The expressions of love for his fantasy adventure film Jumanji were tempered somewhat by a number of terrorists condemning the late actor for jokes he made about jihadists during a filmed stand-up performance that has been uploaded on YouTube.
One known Islamist who goes by the name Abdullah and uses the Twitter handle @Mujahid4life was quick to voice his love of the actor's mid-1990s work. 'Abdullah' is understood to be a 19-year-old British born Islamist and ISIS supporter.
Responding to London-based user Ibn Fulaan, who declared Williams death a 'shame' because he 'liked Jumanji', 'Abdullah' tweeted: 'Good movie. Loved it as a kid.'
Fulaan responded: 'Same, I had it on video lol.'

Too bad Robin Williams isn't here to make a joke about it. Too bad these ISIS creeps still are.
This is surreal.
Manic terrorists who decapitate children now live by the immortal words, “Same, I had it on video. lol”.
Is this what we’ve come to? Even the bad guys sound lame.
What the heck?? This is too bizarre.
Oh Oh, They had better track down the Jihadi who saw “Game of thrones” and burn him alive for watching a decadent western film with nudity!Just saying...
A point for Williams for mocking jihadists
And they posted his jihad joke. So I posted some raisins.
The banality of evil.
The Nazi death camp and Communist gulag guards were just as shallow in their conversations.
Is this article a put on????
Feeling alienated? No employment prospects? Are you depressed? Girlfriend left you? Suffer from helplessness? Think the world is against you? Join a jihad! Learn how to make bombs! Make a difference & feel the power! Double power if you explode!..... well, that’s not exactly how IS recruits but you get the basic idea how they play with kids & young adults’ vulnerabilities. I read they give them cash, a car to drive, cellphone & after an intense process of indocrination turn them into sociopaths, who gradually become completely desensitized to beheadings & generally bloodshed. But that doesn’t mean these kids forget their fav movies, actors, etc.. especially the ones brought up in the west. These kids aren’t the real jihadists, only pawns doing the jihadists’ bidding.
Problem is, he classifies Schindler as a comedy.
