Dzhokha's twitter avatar: Freak coincidence or deliberate? His twitter handle speaks volumes

https://twitter.com/J_tsar/status/324397718099353601


Out of curiousity I googled what a lion symbolized in Islam as Dzhokha's twitter avator is a roaring lion (his twitter handle @j_tsar speaks for itelf)

From MyIslamicDream.com -

"The lion is a ruler, a tyrant, or a powerful and very dangerous person, in view of the ferocity and devastating anger of that animal. It also symbolizes the warrior, the swindler, the thief, the treacherous worker, the policeman, the insatiable enemy, and perhaps hardships and death, because he who stares at it turns pale, loses his self-control, and is as good as dead, says Ibn Siren."
