They hate cartoons of Mohammad or criticisms of Mohammad, especially ones that lampoon or disrespect him. On the other hand, videos of actual beheadings, crucifixions and massacres of people alleged to be infidels, heretics or enemies are posted on the internet and proudly used for recruitment purposes by ISIS and other jihadist groups.
