Who needs vetting when there is trolling to be done?

But these pathetic fictional women 'fighters' make excellent cannon fodder for ISIS.

Big hug from ISIS to CNN and Fox, special hug for Fox for their never ending and very helpful recruiting efforts on their behalf. Millions of dollars of free ads.

The Nutella angle though explains why ISIS wants to conquer Italy next.

Nutella! New depths sunk to by CNN to 'spread' fear. How pathetically lame.

Watch every guy who can't score a date show up with a kitten in one hand an a jar of Nutella in the other.

And that cat seems to be acting sneaky, too. I'll have to bring this up with some women I know.

They wink and grin about the stuff. I thought it was just chocolate and hazelnut. Must have some secret ingredients...

Cocoa is toxic to cats and dogs in large enough doses. Usually a cat doesn't like chocolate, in this case I suspect it's the milk in the Nutella the cat is finding so yummy. I bet they had an upset tummy after sneaking their treat.

I had a rescue cat who'd grown up eating cheeseburgers and chocolate chip cookies. It didn't seem to harm him, though, even though I resisted letting him have the cookies and thought the cheeseburger thing, despite the memes, was a bit odd. He didn't care for tuna, he wanted that beef patty.

I didn't know about Nutella and dairy, though, since it never tasted quite right to me and I gave away the only jar of it I bought. I tried to make a sandwich out of it, since I love hazelnut and chocolate, but not together, I found.

Just think about that paw going in there over and over again to get that stuff and having to lick it off... Might be a little bit of fur in that Nutella for the owners, huh?

having the other things would be redundant. I'm sure that there is a reason you are single (not that there's anything wrong with that). Perhaps you're too young to commit.

ISIS goes nuts for Nutella: Brutal Jihadists reveal bizarre soft spot for the chocolate hazelnut spread

Members of the jihadist group posed for photographs holding jars of the Italian sweet treat while standing in supermarkets inside the Islamic State - the group's self-declared caliphate.

The images were subsequently uploaded to Twitter - sparking an intense debate among the fighters and their supporters over the virtues of Nutella.
...
There is also a Twitter account dubbed the Islamic State of Cat, which features masked and gun-toting jihadists holding tiny kittens.
