Ohio Government Websites Hacked With Pro-Islamic State Messages (bloomberg.com)
An anonymous reader quotes Bloomberg:
The websites of Ohio Governor John Kasich and other state government agencies were hacked on Sunday with a posting professing love for the jihadist group Islamic State. Ten state websites and two servers were affected, and they've been taken off line for an investigation with law enforcement into how the hackers were able to deface them, said Tom Hoyt, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services... The same pro-Islamic State message, accompanied by music, were also shown on Sunday on the website of Brookhaven, a town on New York's Long Island about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Manhattan, the New York Post reported... Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2018, posted on Facebook that the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website had been hacked and said, "Wake up freedom-loving Americans. Radical Islam infiltrating the heartland."
I'd really like to see Slashdot readers try to defend their hypocrisy. I won't even bring up the apologists who defend Islam, which is responsible for numerous terror attacks, while slamming Christianity, which is generally not associated with violence. In this post, I'm objecting to labeling anyone who criticizes Islam as a racist while encouraging racism against Indians.
Let's say you want to subject Muslims to enhanced screening before they board aircraft, because Muslims have committed acts of terror on commercial aircraft in recent history. Intelligence also indicates that Muslim terror groups still want to attack commercial aircraft. Furthermore, nobody is born a Muslim; people choose to be Muslim and can change at any time. Well, that enhanced screening is racist and anyone who supports that is a racist.
Let's say you don't like H-1B tech workers from India, who simply want to have a good salary and work for American companies. Let's say you want to kick them out of the United States and send of them back to India. Well, that's not racist at all. In fact, it's encouraged.
My post will quickly be censored to -1 to avoid addressing this hypocrisy, but it absolutely needs to pointed out. I predict that Slashdot readers will be too cowardly to address my observation.
