Italians take to Twitter with travel tips in response Islamic States' threat to conquer Rome

What the exact meaning of "Rome" is to the Islamic State is unclear

In a recent video by the Islamic State that showed the killing of 21 Christians in Libya, the Islamic State issued an ominous warning: “Today we are south of Rome,” one masked militant said. “We will conquer Rome with Allah’s permission.”

The Islamic State have begun using a hashtag to warn of their plan to reach "Rome."

What the exact meaning of "Rome" is to the Islamic State is unclear - some experts say it may actually be a reference to the United States or Turkey, or even the West in general. But Italy is worried. Libya is just a short boat ride across the Mediterranean. Since thousands of refugees already make this journey to Italian shores every year, what's to stop the Islamic State?

As word of #We_Are_Coming_O_Rome spread across the Italian media, Rome residents took the opportunity to respond to the Islamic State. And they did so in a rather amusing way for a country that’s just been put under a terror threat by one of the world’s most notorious and barbaric terror groups.

With warnings about the traffic.
