Several fake Facebook and Twitter accounts under his name emerged thereafter, and Yilmaz repeatedly denied having a Facebook account or having a new Twitter account; having been banned multiple times. It wasn't until late 2014, however, that he joined the ranks of the extremist terrorist organization "Daesh", better known as the "Islamic State", and achieved his ultimate notability. On his social media accounts, Yilmaz defended the 2015 attacks in Paris and other terrorist acts around the globe, claiming it was never "Daesh" who declared open war on the West, but the US and its allies declaring open war on "Daesh". He also defended the punishment of homosexuals from an Islamic perspective, and sexual slavery in times of war. Lastly, Yilmaz attended a well-publicized AMA on Reddit and an abortive second attempt, a mere week before his death.
