Islamic State threatens to kill former porn star

Monday, August 28th, 2017 11:08:31 by

The latest target on the hit-list of the Islamic State (IS) militants is a Lebanese-American ex-porn star by the name of Mia Khalifa. According to Khalifa herself, the IS threatened to behead her in gruesome mocked-up execution photos. She told reporters that the militants used social media to send her those threatening pictures.

The former porn actress was one of the top-ranked performers on the adult website called PornHub. She has left the porn business but this stint will always remain a part of her history.

Threatened by IS, Khalifa says in a recent interview with The Sports Junkies that she won’t give the extremists what they want: “You can’t show weakness. That’s exactly what they’re looking for. I really try and just make it look like it rolls off, but I’ll admit, it gets to you after a while.”

The 21-year-old history graduate, belonging from a Christian family, had moved to the US from Beirut, Lebanon, when she was 10-years-old. She settled in Miami, and apart from undergoing her studies, she also briefly entered the porn industry.

This move of hers drew criticism from many including those who from the Middle East, terming her a ‘disgrace’ to the region. In one of her porn clips, she is seen engaging in intercourse while wearing a Muslim covering on the head known as hijab. This enraged the Muslim community they termed the act as ‘problematic and gross’.

One Twitter user threatened her head “will be cut off soon”, while another warned her she would be “the first person in Hell fire”.

Khalifa now makes her living covering sports and pop culture through her own channel on the live-streaming service Twitch.
