Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is getting a security detail after an Islamic State savages made an online threat against her, according to a report.

The protection for the Minnesota Republican will continue until her planned retirement from Congress, at the end of the current session this year, Politico reported Monday. The nature of the threat was not disclosed.

Bachmann has been highly critical of Islam and has called on President Obama to “declare war” on the religion. She also proposed a bill to renounce the citizenship of Americans who join the Islamic State’s bloodthirsty army.
