Twitter doesn't work that way. You can't "direct" your message at someone unless you pay for an ad. People need to seek out these messages.

It does if friend Y starts retweeting those kinds of messages. Or if you happened to follow a dormant account that has since been commandeered by IS. There's a million ways for those kinds of messages to enter your stream.
