Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi recently asked Muslims across the globe to join his group of radicals in their fight to take more territory in Iraq and Syria.

When his message was translated and tweeted on Dec. 26 by activist Iyad El-Baghdadi, Muslims responded by suggesting some of the other ways they'd prefer to spend their time.

Eating Big Macs, watching Game of Thrones, playing Fallout 4 -- it was really a long list.
