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."

..possibly Sikhs, Zorastrians, Mandeans, Hindus, and Buddhists.

Sikhs: nope..friction between Sikhism and Islam has rumbled along merrily for centuries (one Muslim student described Sikhism to me as a 'piss take of Islam', general consensus of the Sikhs I knew was 'the only good Muslim was a dead one'..)

Hindus: not.a.bloody.chance. There was a general disdain of Hindu students by the Muslim students, this became outright open hostility towards Hindus on occasion by Pakistani and Central-North African Muslims (I had to break up fights).

Zorastrians: Tricky one this, I knew several Zorastrians, but they kept themselves to themselves, so cannot comment on their interactions with the Muslim students (other than to point out again that they made themselves inconspicuous)

Buddhists: See, the funny thing about not believing in any God as far as Islam is concerned is...The Muslim attitude I experienced ranged from total indifference from the liberals through to they're Kafir, kill with fire from the usual nutters.

All the while claiming to be the religion of "peace".
