The #BurnIsisFlagChallenge’ reportedly started several days ago by some teenagers in Lebanon has apparently brought about the first response by the Islamist terrorist group which reportedly has kidnapped fifty Iraqi villagers who burned the ISIS flag.
Writing at IraqNews.com Amre Sarhan reported:
“A security source in Kirkuk province on Thursday stated that “The ISIS group have kidnapped 50 civilians who belong to one of the villages in the province, shortly after the people of the village burned the ISIS flag to declare their opposition of the ISIS existence in south of Kirkuk.”
Sarhan goes on to report that clans in the area are planning to attack ISIS if the kidnapped villagers are not released.
For those who want to join the #BurnIsisFlagChallenge, here is a simple how to video. Just print out an image of the flag and ignite. If you choose to do so indoors like the person seen in the video to avoid being kidnapped and losing your head to an ISIS terrorist, please be careful not to burn your house down.
And don’t worry about offending Muslims. This is not the same as burning a Koran. It’s like burning the Nazi or Soviet flags.
