Homosexual foodies, take heed. Islamic State militants are threatening to overrun Rome and throw you from the top of the “Leaning Tower of Pizza.”
On Sunday, ISIS sent out two tweets that were intended to sound scary, but failed miserably:
“#We_Are_Coming_O_Rome, we will conquer & establish the justice of #shariah. We will use your leaning tower of pizza to throw off homosexual,” the first tweet read.
“#We_Are_Coming_O_Rome with slaughter,” said the second.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Evidently, the terrorist group’s social media intern doesn’t have access to a map or he would have known the tower is actually 200 miles outside of the Italian capital. Then again, if he was looking for the city of “Pizza,” not even a map could have helped him.
Italians took the threats with stride, offering the terrorists restaurant recommendations and warning them about traffic.
“Tomorrow is strike of public transport,” one person wrote. “Good luck.”
“Hey just a tip,” another person said, “don’t come in train, it’s every time late!”
Others responded by suggesting their favorite gelato flavors.
Just to be on the safe side, Italian security officials have approved plans to deploy nearly 5,000 soldiers on the country’s streets and around “sensitive sites” to prevent potential terrorist attacks.

LOL… that’s hilarious. And empty threats too… they can’t even handle the Kurds with 50 year old rifles lol.

Why should terrorists be any smarter than anyone else?

Thanks for the dinner suggestion. I was having a difficulty deciding on what to eat tonight.

Hmmm . . . hatred of homosexuals. Seems this group has a lot in common with certain U.S. factions.

That doesn’t sound all that threatening, until you remember that gay people don’t do carbs.

Well, it’s a self-evident truth that you have to be pretty dumb to believe all that religious crap. Read the rantings of whack-job Christians and you’ll see they also have no concept of spelling, grammar, geography, history or psychology.

That’s silly, the Leaning Tower of Pizza is in Minneapolis: http://leaningtowermpls.com/

Ignorant homophobes with lots of guns. Hmmmm… that sounds vaguely familiar.

@Paco: Little Caesars is selling their bacon-wrapped crust deep dish pizzas, starting today. That’s what I’m having for dinner.

N.B.
A few of us may not know that ISIS actually _is_ throwing gays from the tops of towers, and stoning the ones who don’t die from the fall.

@blackberry finn:
AND destabilizing the region makes oil prices go up. I notice that nobody was begging the U.S. or gays to fear Uganda when they were passing a law approving the killing of gays, or what about right on our boarder? Narco gangs out of Mexico have killed thousands of people including many many many many more Americans than ISIL has and yet we hear nothing about them.
Well of course not, ramping up fear about them doesn’t increase oil prices so there is no reason to. The same people screaming about ISIL/ISIS are the same people who were screaming that we needed to invade Syria and Iran, two countries we are now told are our wonderful allies against ISIS. Those folks don’t really care whats going on, they just want oil prices to go back up.

Why in hell is this site making light of this situation?
Because the offender made a silly typo?
Ever notice how many typos Queerty makes?
And those posting comments think the systematic murder of gay men by religious wackos is funny?
Another stunning example of PC ignorance trumping common sense or decency.
Cam
@BJ McFrisky:
Did your comment have a point? You just rambled through a bunch of different attacks.
Please explain how this is PC? Explain how Syria and Iran were said to be the worst things in the world, and now the same people who said that are calling them our allies. Explain how two American deaths are more dangerous than the multitudes killed by the narco drug gangs, and lastly why are two American deaths somehow enough to go to war over, and yet when a dozen kids are shot in schools, you right wingers are fanatically desperate to have the rest of the country ignore that.
So again, nice try BJ.
southernscot
I hear they think they only have to throw 1 and the rest will fall like dominoes?

@BJ McFrisky: Take a page out of fox news? Queerty doesn’t make many typos.
You are just another right wing fanatic.
Cam is right. The US has neglected Mexico, and its President has been incompetent. Even Mexico’s prior President was more effective than Pena Nieto.
McFrisky wants to go to war in Syria and Iraq. Oh yeah… troops on the ground!!! GUNS BOMBS!!! Yes… wouldn’t that be great? Because the last time the US was in Iraq they did just awesome right? Mission accomplished? BJ, your President Dubya stood under that banner and said “the mission was a success!!!!”.
Jeez, maybe use your head before you post.

@BJ McFrisky: BJ! How are your new reading glasses? You’re spotting typos now instead of seeing words that aren’t there, that’s awesome. 🙂

I have read Bjs past posts. All of them defending Christians as being better than Muslims. May I remind this right wing fanatic is that it was a Christian Republican who launched the war in Iraq and was directly responsible for the deaths of tens if not hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Christian fanatics are just as bad as ISIS. Christian fanatics want to bomb other countries and kill thousands. I just saw that exgay blogger article from some weeks ago where BJ commented and all his statements are ignorant and wrong. Nevermind there is no such thing as an exgay.

@Giancarlo85:
@onthemark:
At least we all now know that you’re okay with gay men being murdered, as long as it’s done by Islam and not Christianity. Which leads me to the question, Why is it that the Muzzies always yell “Aloha snackbar” before killing gays?
Giancarlo85
@BJ McFrisky: Your posts are that of a child. Christianity kills too. Like in Uganda. Kill the gays bill ring a bell? Why are you so blind to that fact? Gay people get killed in other Christian African countries too.
BJ McFrisky
@Giancarlo85: Yes, but this article isn’t about killer Christians, it’s about killer Muzzies, so stop being an Islamic apologist making feeble attempts to divert attention away from the real killers.

@BJ McFrisky: It is more sane to consider death by bumble bee, You statistically have a better chance of getting hit by lightning or drinking yourself to death than you do dying in one of these cowardice attacks.
Should I take a threat like I am going to kill you with bumble bees seriously? No sir, I will laugh at the pathetic nonsense. Nothing to see here but a bunch of bumbling ninnies. Yes they do terrible things but they are no real threat, they will be killed off eventually like every other disease.
