    I've just seen this on Facebook via The People's Voice (an online-only news channel originally crowd-sourced and set up by the brilliant David Icke, who has since fallen out with them, by all reports, and completely distanced himself from them) and Your News Wire. I just wanted to relay the info to the Star Wars community as a whole, along with comments from locals who refute the story. The article states:

    However, the entire article is then countered on The People's Voice comments section linking to the article:

    Regardless of your feelings on the whole ISIS thing (I personally don't believe the official story on most things and refuse to buy into the whole media-led Islamophobia, but that's just me), I was genuinely upset by the piece and worried for the sets being damaged or destroyed (and therefore not preserved for future generations to see), but when I read the comments from locals stating that it was rubbish, I was partially furious, and partially relieved. So I felt the need to relay this to you all and let you know not to panic about it too much.

    Please don't take my opinions too much to heart, we're all entitled to our opinions, and if you don't agree with me, that's fine - I accept our differences, and you're not obliged to agree with me, so don't feel offended. :)

    I just realized something: If you give ISIS force powers and red lightsabers, you pretty much get a real life version of the Sith...
