Apparently DA'ESH is afraid of COVID-19

There are not too many aspects of the Coronavirus pandemic about which it is possible or appropriate to laugh, but one of them is the news that, according to the Sunday Times, DA'ESH (also known as IS, ISIL, ISIS, or murderous barbarians) has apparently instructed their Jihadi fighters to stay away from Europe, referred to as "the land of the epidemic" in order to avoid catching COVID-19.

Don't think these people have quite thought their ideas through on this one - if this disease is a "torment sent by God" to strike down people he disapproves of, why should those who imagine they are holy warriors fighting for him expect to get it?

And for an organisation whose operatives are often suicide bombers to be afraid of getting infected with a virus is a bit like Kamikazi pilots going on strike for better pensions and improved health and safety conditions.
