An animated video titled "Obama and Twitter" was recently released by the "Media Front for the Support of the Islamic State" and the "Scandals of Secularism." It is the second installment that the pro-ISIS group of activists has released of a series titled "The Diaries of Jihadi John. In April, the group released the first video, showing the beheading of Obama by Jihadi John (MEMRI TV clip 4866). After the second video was posted on Youtube, access to the channel has been blocked.
Following is an excerpt:
