WASHINGTON The danger posed by ISIS to Americans has come to the homeland for Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and a national publication may be making the ominous threat even worse.
Politico has reported federal officials are taking an online threat to the congresswoman so seriously she in now under 24-hour protection by a security detail.
However, Politico may be adding fuel to the fire by incorrectly reporting that the congresswoman had called on President Obama to declare war on Islam.
Bachmann has been publicly critical of not only ISIL, but also Islam, calling on President Obama to declare war on the religion during a speech at the conservative Value Voters Summit at the end of September, reported Politico.
The political website appears to have taken the remarks, particularly the word war, greatly out of context.
From the text of her speech, it appears Bachmann is clearly calling for war on the Islamic State.
She does cajole President Obama to recognize how a radical ideology that comes from Islam motivates jihadis such as the Islamic State, also called ISIS.
But she never calls for a war on Islam.

Glad they recognize this is a serious threat and she’s being protected.
(and it doesn't want to be).
I'm sure it was an innocent mistake. </massive_sarcasm>
Bachmann was the only Candidate consistently bring up the US Constitution in the last Republican Presidential debate.
Headline: Dagnabitt Under 24/7 guard.
I WOULD call for a war on Islam! Islam is the problem, not just the so-called radicals.
I knew the Democrats were responsible for Isis
“Sadly, our president has the wrong prescription. He even failed to acknowledge their motivations for bringing about jihad. Yes, Mr. President, it is about Islam. (Cheers, applause.) And I believe that if you have an evil the order of this magnitude, you take it seriously. You declare war on it, you dont dance around it, just like the Islamic State has declared war on the United States of America.”
So she mentions jihad, which the Korean calls on all Muslims to participate in. Then she says it is about Islam, not a specific group or sect. She says you declare war on “it”, but the only “it” available is Islam. Finally, she mentions ISIS, but only to say that we should act in a way that ISIS is acting (i.e., by declaring war), not by only fighting ISIS.
In my take she is calling for a war on Islam...and until Islam behaves as a political force, I don’t see much difference than calling for a war on Nazism in the 30s and 40s.
It’s win-win for them; they can endanger the life of an honest conservative, while simultaneously discrediting her with smears.
Keith Ellison, M-MN, The Grand Imam of the Caliphate of Minneapolis, has undoubtedly been talking to the Muslim Brotherhood about how to handle M. Bachmann, R-MN
Seriously I believe it's very likely.
Somewhere in hell, Goebbels is smiling.
I agree with you, Ellison is a snake in the grass. He’s a con artist who’s time will come.
