US Church Website Hacked with ISIS Threat: 'We Will Break Your Crosses and Enslave Your Women'
"You have realized the threat of the Islamic State."

An American church's website was recently hacked by the pro-ISIS group known as the United Cyber Caliphate with a threatening video declaring a war on Christians in the name of Islam's god, Allah.
It was a 15-year-old girl who discovered the defacement, according to FOX17. Elizabeth Storteboom was trying to find a telephone number for the Lamont Christian Reformed Church in Michigan on Friday and was met instead with the threatening message:
"You have realized the threat of the Islamic State… We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women by the permission of Allah, the Exalted."
After she clicked the website link, Storteboom said the video started playing. Frightened, she called her dad in and covered the camera on her computer.
"It was just talking about hating Christians and how Allah was God and everything," the girl said. "I was just confused. They were talking about taking women and children and stuff."
The website was fixed by the next day but the damage had been done; only six people showed up to services on Sunday morning.
This isn't the first church whose website has been hacked by ISIS sympathizers and it certainly won't be the last. But it's also no surprise that a Michigan church fell victim to the latest Islamic cyber attack, as the state and its cities, particularly Dearborn -- which boasts the largest mosque in America -- has fast become the Muslim capital of the United States.
