Iran's Cardboard Khomeini: Now Available As Malware

An anonymous reader writes "Symantec has identified a Malware embedded into a Iranian recipe app for Android that destroys images stored on a camera by stamping the cardboard image of Khomeini on it. The controversy stems from a bizarre February 1 ceremony that sought to recreate Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's triumphant return to Tehran in 1979 after 14 years of exile. Immediately fueling a firestorm of ridicule drawing a cult following online. The threat only appears to be focused in App for Farsi and only in third party app markets, according to Symantec."

    Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

    Crazy-ass fundamentalist Islam is against those. Same as fundamentalist Christianity. In both cases they are small minorities of their respective religions, yet you paint the 99.9999% of followers who aren't fundamentalists with the same brush. You are, in fact, just as ignorant and intolerant as the kind of Muslims that you hate. I'm against fundamentalism, and other flavors of intolerance and ignorant hatred such as yours.
