The Islamic State Threatens to Behead the Statue of Liberty
Published in Albawaba on 13 - 07 - 2015

The Islamic State threatened to behead America's Statue of Liberty in New York City. Jihadists published a picture of the headless statue holding the ISIS black flag on Twitter on Sunday.
Written beneath the picture were the words "soon the state of the Islamic Caliphate."
In the picture you can see the iconic skyline of NYC burning.
Twitter users responded sarcastically to the picture. One of them said "ISIS should get the Oscar for sarcasm."
Britain has also received threats of another attack. Abdullah Elmir, known as ‘the Ginger Jihadi' became a poster boy for the Islamic State when he moved there from Sydney Australia. He spoke to The Mail on Sunday announcing that he has ‘connections' to the UK and that "brothers that I know there... are itching to do an attack."
In case there was any doubt he added "this is a direct threat."
UK police are investigating the credibility of the threat.
The Mail on Sunday also confirmed that he has now gotten married, to Amira Abase of East London. Abase is one of three British Schoolgirls who ran away to the Islamic State last year with the intention of becoming jihadi brides.
