According to reports the Worlds, one of the most violent Islamic terrorist groups ISIS has called its followers to attack a large and prominent church in Dallas, Texas.

In the beginning of this Month, the Islamic group’s publication ‘Rumiyah’ named the Dallas Baptist church among other targets, and said the church was "a popular Crusader gathering place waiting to be burned down."

Law enforcement officials said to a news agency in Dallas that they are taking the threat very seriously and insisted that there was no immediate danger to the facility.

The station reports First Baptist has been in regular contact with the FBI and Dallas police for weeks. But the threat from the Islamic Group has not deterred the church.

Church officials said that “Bible tells us the Lord has not given us a spirit of fear,”

They said if they surrender to fear, ISIS will win. They will continue to do, for what the lord has asked them to do.

The ‘Rumiyah’ reportedly included pictures of the church, along with a list full of other targets such as, hospitals, nightclubs, schools and Shia mosques.

The magazine also urged followers to consider using fire as a weapon of destruction, saying, "Arson attacks should in no way be belittled. They cause great economic destruction and emotional havoc and can be repeated very easily."
