You just can’t scare the Italians.

As ISIS seemingly threatens to make their way into Italy with the hashtag We_Are_Coming_O_Rome via Twitter, Romans are taking it all in stride. In fact, according to WashingtonPost.com, Romans are retaliating by warning ISIS about the country’s best built-in defenses: its famously terrible traffic and frustrating public transportation.

On a more serious note, it is still unclear whether ISIS actually intends to head to Rome, or if the hashtag is code for the U.S., Turkey, or just the West in broader terms. But whatever the case, at this point there have been more snarky responses to the hashtag on Twitter than there were original threats against Rome, according to WashingtonPost.com.
