The Islamic State has a reputation for brutal violence and social media savvy. While their brutality isn't in question, their social media reputation took a hit recently after a tangle with the Italians over Twitter, according to the Global Citizen.

People often comment on how advanced the social media tactics of the terrorist group known as the Islamic State are.

After a typo-riddled tweet threatening to attack Rome and throw "homosexuals" off the "leaning tower of pizza" from an IS supporter, Italian tweeters hit back.
