The Islamic State group is taking to social network Twitter to find mates for its jihadists fighting in Syria. According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, the account called @JihadMatchmaker finds partners for militants in Syria, purporting to set up liaisons that measure up to the terrorist organization's interpretation of Islam, FOX News reports.

The account's tagline reads that Jihad Matchmaker is here to link up those seeking marriage in Syria in a "halal" manner- that translates to anything that is sanctioned by the Muslim religion. The account has just 83 followers- one of the reasons why it hasn't been taken down like many other "matchmaking" Jihadi sites that were removed for drawing too much attention with growing number of followers.
