Isis Loves Pringles, Nutella, and Red Bull

Hmmm, seems like the Jihadis have a thing for U.S. junk food. Pics at link.

ISIS fighters hate West, but love Western snacks like Red Bull
Jihadi fighters go for ‘Pringles and Snickers

Isis guys buy those by the box to share at the front,’ reveals one shopkeeper.

They may hate the West.

But Jihadi fighters with the Islamic State just love our Red Bull and Pringles, according to a report in the Financial Times.

Foreign fighters who have flocked to Syria and Iraq are still desperate to get hold of the Western snacks despite their war against everything the West stands for.

Local shopkeepers told the FT that demand for the snacks has been driven by the Westerners who had fled their own countries to fight for the Islamic State.

Hypocrisy is both the mother and the child of devout religion.

We are the mightiest consumers on the planet - we can kill them with brand name products. Send crates and crates of Little Debbie's made from animal lard. Nothing below 50% unsaturated fats for the day. Each chocolate roll cooked in one complete stick of butter.

Red Bull and high cholesterol, the silent killers.

Thanks, I don't want to help in any way. What would be worse than saturated fats? HFCS? Redbull?

Aren't quite as totally indoctrinated as some of their fellows might be.....similar, perhaps, to a '50s Klansman not liking blacks at all, but who may not have that much of a problem with individual Irishmen or Jews.
