Supporters of the ISIS terror group tweeted thousands of messages on Friday bearing the hashtag #AmessagefromISIStoUS featuring gruesome photos and threats to U.S. soldiers and citizens after American airstrikes took out terrorist targets in Iraq for the first time.
Some tweeted photos depict dead U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. marines hung from bridges in Fallujah, decapitated men, human heads on spikes, and the twin towers in flames on September 11, 2001.

My Comment: I doubt that the Islamic State's "tweets" and other propaganda efforts will have a significant impact on the West. They are sensational to a certain degree .... . but The Islamic State's propaganda efforts are mainly targeted at their own people. They want to show to their supporters that they can stand up to the U.S. .... as well as stroking fears in their enemies.
