ISIS Poll: "What Will Be The Color Of The Eiffel Tower" Next?

In an online forum, ISIS quizzes its gleeful supporters about the location of the terror group's next attack

ISIS supporters are euphoric over their “successful” terror attacks in Brussels—and have already started predicting where the group will find its next victims, Vocativ has discovered.

A poll published on al-Minbar, a main forum used by the group’s supporters, asks: “What will be the color of the Eiffel Tower in the next attacks?” The question comes after the iconic French landmark was illuminated with the colors of the Belgian flag on Tuesday to pay tribute to the victims of the Brussels attacks, which killed more than 30 people and injured more than 100 others.

More ISIS Supporters Celebrate Brussels Attacks With Free Candy
Twenty users replied to the poll, often casting multiple votes. Nine said the next target will be the United Kingdom, six voted for Russia, three predicted the U.S. will be targeted next and four others voted for Germany. ISIS loyalists who posted on the poll’s forum thread described the U.S., the U.K. and France as “the heads of infidelity,” followed by Germany.



A second poll asking ISIS supporters what country they think will be targeted next also appeared on Twitter, where an ISIS supporters asked: “What will be the next attack by the Islamic State?” The poll offered Italy, France, The Netherlands and Belgium as options, and had a total of 103 responses. The results were only available to voters.

A user affiliated with the terror group tweeted that “the Islamic State will attack London, Washington, Rome and all the infidels’ capitals.” Another declared: “the Crusaders are blundered and confused. Yesterday Paris, today Brussels, and they don’t know where will be the next attack,” a loyalist posted.

the next time they kill a leader of Daesh they're going to illuminate the tower in the blue, white and red of the French flag while blaring the Marseillaise from loud-speakers.

We may be hawkish as a nation...but nobody knows how to say "Go fuck yourself!" like the French. (En Francais: Va te faire foutre!)
