ISIS Makes Direct Threats Against Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey (cnet.com)

wjcofkc writes: A group of ISIS supporters have threatened to take down Facebook and Twitter, as well as their leaders. In a 25-minute propaganda video released by a group calling itself "the sons of the Caliphate army," photographs of both technology leaders are riddled with bullets. The video was first spotted by Vocativ. The threats are being made over the two companies' efforts to seek out and remove terrorist-related content on their respective platforms. The group is quoted as saying, "If you close one account, we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete your sites, Allah willing, and will know that we say is true."

    So the lesson is that even a sadistic bunch of mediaevalist nutbag bandits aren't entirely bad...

    Well, not quite. You can see that with the Yazidis, where in captured towns, the men face genocide and the women sexual slavery.

    They also separate out different kinds of non-believers. "People of the Book" can pay the tax and be subservient -- Jews, Christians, and depending on who you ask, possibly Sikhs, Zorastrians, Mandeans, Hindus, and Buddhists. Yazidis are not people of the book, so they are are officially and explicitly in the "convert or die" camp -- Bahai, and atheists would also not be.

    Which is just the Arabic word for the one God worshipped by all three Abrahamic religions. The two words are semantically equivalent, only the language is different. Yahweh = Adonai = Deus = Dio = God = Got = Allah = Concept.Demiurge
