ISIS supporters from around the world are tweeting in a perverse social media campaign to show support for an upcoming ISIS statement that might have to do with the EgyptAir plane crash:
#ISIS puts so much emphasis on upcoming Furqan speech, I can't help but wonder if it's related to Egyptair #MS804 crash. @akhbar

Here’s more about the anticipated speech:
Al-Furqan, a propaganda arm of ISIS which releases media statements, said an announcement is “imminent”, sparking fears that the murderous group was behind the Paris to Cairo plane crash.
The jihadis dedicate a lot of their time to propaganda as they seek to wreak terror and spread messages of death to the West.
It was Al-Furqan that released a video of the beheading of American hostage James Foley and a stream of other atrocities.
Al-Furqan’s said the message will be delivered by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, ISIS chief and the world’s most wanted terrorist, and will be translated into 11 languages including English.
Al-Baghdadi is called the “caliph” of the Islamic State, and he rarely makes appearances or releases statements, so this would be a pretty big deal.

And yet, people still push for more Muslim immigration to the West.
We’ll post more information on the speech as soon as it’s released or we find more details.
UPDATE!!
ISIS has released the audio statement, but it had no mention of the crashed plane at all:
Ten minutes into this #ISIS recorded audio message and I have heard no reference yet to EgyptAir #MS804. @akhbar
— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) May 21, 2016
This whole #ISIS speech has no point. Summery: America is evil, Jews are terrible &anti IS Muslims are the worst. Lots of bla bla. @akhbar

Just In: Audio by #ISIS spokesperson, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani just released by al-Furqan https://t.co/xSK8ne2Wug pic.twitter.com/iXLN86Vpcw

It wasn’t even from al-Baghdadi, as was previously reported.
The speeches released by al Furqan are meant to be religious, political and literary statements archived for the future – not breaking news

It sounds like a generic ISIS statement. This would have been the perfect opportunity for them to take credit for the crash. If they didn’t do it, then who did?!
