Overview
Twitter personality “GreenBirdofDabiq” is an advocate of militant Islam on social media. Proclaiming to live in Raqqa, Syria (ISIS’s de facto capital), she regularly advertises the terror group’s latest exploits and summons Muslims from around the world to venture to the self-proclaimed caliphate.GreenBirdofDabiq, Twitter post, June 28, 2015, 9:55 p.m., https://twitter.com/GreenBirdDabiq/status/615382985634754560.
GreenBirdofDabiq draws her name from Dabiq, the town in northern Syria that is, according to certain readings in the Muslim canon, the site of the final clash of armies before the apocalypse. GreenBirdofDabiq frequently promotes anti-gay material, including posting pictures promoting gay rights and claiming that ISIS would never abide such freedoms.GreenBirdofDabiq, Twitter post, June 30, 2015, 8:56 p.m., https://twitter.com/GreenBirdDabiq/status/623022031697657856.

In Their Own Words:
We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].
