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 predict that Slashdot readers will be too cowardly to address my observation.

    Not at all... You are full of shit... Nothing more need be said... You're welcome

    The hackers didn't use that word. That word comes from a tweet by the Ohio State Treasurer, who is, surprisingly enough, a Republican.

    And to this day, there's zero evidence that they have. Terrorist attacks in those countries have been perpetrated by people either born and raised in Europe, or who have been living there for decades. Not "refugees", or even refugees.

    False statement.

    Not that I think the offspring of failed immigration politics and multiculturalism being the problem would offer any support & defense for continuing with or doing it in the first place.

    Here in Sweden we've just had just a few attacks.
    2010 Taimour Abdulwahab blew a car and himself up in Stockholm. Born in Baghdad, Iraq.
    2015 Abraham Ukbagabir stabbed two Swedes to death at IKEA after not being granted asylum, born in Eritrea.
    2017 Rakhmat Akilov drew a truck through people in Stockholm, born in Uzbekistan.

    So ... what does that make them? I don't know if the second one would be a jihadist though, his claimed reason (and who can't understand him?) for doing it was that "everyone else got to stay" and since he wasn't he was "treated unfairly" so he wanted to show that.

    I think you need to try again, Mr/Ms AC SJW dishonest lying fuck-face.

    I'm not going to sit and google all the terror attacks in Europe.
    Checked the Charlie Hebdo attackers and those where born in France, but by Algerian parents. Doesn't really make things better .. May very well be that refugees are better than their children due to how shitty multiculturalism and the destruction of our nations and people are but that just mean that there's worse to come from the shit-politics which is the Muslim and African invasion of Europe. Doesn't help.

    But you're wrong when claim all of them has been born here.

    In the USA - in the past 9 years, Islamic groups have launched 63 attempted attacks of which 76% were prevented by law enforcement. 13% of successful attacks had fatalities. Overall death toll: 90 (mostly because of the high deathtoll in the Orlando nightclub shooting - which it is not certain was, in fact, an Islamic terror attack)

    Rightwing Christian terror groups planned 135 attacks of which only 35% were prevented. 33% had fatalities. Overall death toll: 79 (pretty close considering they haven't had a nightclub shooting outlier in there - and of course if the Kansas Mosque/Appartment bombing hadn't been prevented - it would have been in the hundreds, and since they get prevented far more rarely, the odds are in their favour).

    http://www.newsweek.com/right-...

    The FBI, and 238 police organisations in the USA all consider rightwing militias the greatest terror threat to US citizens.

    Globally the Christian Lords Resistance Army alone has killed more people every year of it's 20 year existence than all the Islamic terror groups combined in total, ever - even 9/11 is a blip on the radar next to the LRA (a group also known for using child soldiers and engaging in cannibalism).

    When you add other terror groups however the Islamic numbers turn into a rounding error. They just make better news in the West.

    That said there is no religion with clean hands. In 2003 over 3000 Muslims in Southern India were killed by Hindu extremists in an act of attempted genocide, the main ringleader of that attack is now the prime minister of India. Meanwhile in Myanmar as we speak thousands of Muslims have been killed in an ongoing genocide attempt by Buddhists (yes, Budhists - their pacifism apparently does not extend to their Muslim fellow citizens).

    But there is no doubt the overwhelming majority of terrorists are Christian - it is only logical, as the largest religion on earth by far, they must also have the largest number of radicals.

    ""Known to security services" at best means they have been arrested for actual crimes before."

    No it doesn't.

    Rightwingers always dismiss anything they don't agree with as 'leftwing' as if that makes it false, and thus remain idiots. The article DID in fact give you the full details on the study it reports from, and a mere few minutes of googling would confirm that the FBI does consider rightwing christian militias the biggest terror threat in the USA from multiple sources - including the FBI's own website.

    None of which will convince you since your beliefs are based on personal prejudice rather than any concern for correlation with reality.

    I challenge you to find any poll of Christians that that think the actions you listed above are never justified below 95%.
