An apparent supporter of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant tweeted a photo Saturday depicting the black flag used by the terrorist army set against a backdrop of the White House, along with an ominous threat.
Utilizing a hashtag launched on Friday — #AmessagefromISIStoUS — the threatening tweet was posted with the caption: “we are here #America near our #target :) sooooooooooooon,” according to Twitter:

A second tweet with the same image was posted later Saturday, with the simple message that “we are everywhere.”

In a video posted Thursday by VICE Media, the terrorist group taunted the U.S. to “send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq,” and threatened to raise “the flag of Allah in the White House.”
“We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House,” said Abu Mosa, identified in the video as an ISIL press agent.
ISIL has been using social media to broadcast to the world its extreme brand of barbarism, and began posting disturbing content late last week with the Twitter hashtag, #AmessagefromISIStoUS.
But Americans hijacked the hashtag, creating a “reverse jihad.”
As for a “holy war,” Fox News host Eric Bolling captured the sentiment of many Americans when he said Saturday it “may be time to unleash hell” on ISIL.
“You want a holy war?” he asked. “We’ll give you one. It just may be time to unleash hell on radical Islam. Don’t worry, Islamic jihadists, your 72 virgins await.”
