ISIS Retracting Endorsement Of Jihadist Who Blew Himself Up While Masturbating To Quran Is Fake News

ISIS retracting their endorsement of a jihadist who blew himself up while masturbating to Quran is fake news. There is no truth to a report that the terrorist group was now denouncing a jihadist who had killed himself in a massive suicide car bomb explosion in Iraq as they had discovered he was pleasuring himself to the Quran. If the story sounds wild and crazy that is because it is just that as it is false.

Where did this fake news originate? World Daily News Report published the fake news article on Jan. 19, 2018, reporting that ISIS was now disassociating themselves from a man involved in a suicide car bomb attack because he was relieving himself with the use of the Quran. You can read the fake news below.

Al Badi | ISIS has awkwardly disassociated itself this week from a massive suicide car bomb explosion in Iraq after first claiming responsibility for the attack.

The suicide bomber, who is now believed to be Muhammad Ibn Shazam, died in a suicide car bomb explosion in Iraq this week targeting a Kurdish group taking on ISIS.

The attack, which was caught on camera by the jihadist himself and uploaded live on Facebook, made no human casualties except for the jihadist himself.

ISIS also quickly retracted its official endorsement of the attack after the uploaded video apparently showed the jihadist masturbating while reciting the Quran before dying from the explosion moments later.

However, there is no truth to the above story. What’s the problem with the story to make it false? For one thing, there is no legitimate news coverage of this happening.

Additionally, the origin of the photograph used in the fake news can be found here. The photograph is actually Abdelhamid Abaaoud who was a Belgian-Moroccan Islamic terrorist, who had spent time in Syria. He was suspected of having organized multiple terror attacks in Belgium and France, and is known to have masterminded the November 2015 Paris attacks.

Here are some examples of people sharing the fake news on social media.

Finally and most importantly, World News Daily Report carries the following disclaimer:
