The Al-Muhajireen Foundation, an outlet with known links to ISIL, distributed a poster praising the man as a “hero” on Sunday. The apparent joy from the enemies of ISIL, also known as ISIS, upset jihadi supporters, who started complaining on Telegram, an online messaging service, according to MEMRI. “In their folly they publish publications which serve the Crusaders and the enemies of the (Islamic) State,” says one message discovered and translated by MEMRI. The video was taken after the Canadian was captured in a firefight, when he led an attack on a checkpoint. The Canadian was captured in Deir al-Zour, part the diminishing remnant of territory in eastern Syria held by ISIL.
