ISIS Threatens to Kill Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey
A new posting by the Islamic State is encouraging its members to kill the founder of Twitter and other employees of the social network.
The declaration, which was originally posted on justpaste.it, and then translated by BuzzFeed, is addressed to Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter in 2006 and is now chairman of its executive board. The threat takes issue with Twitter's attempts to thwart IS's dissemination of propaganda on the social network. The company frequently shuts down any official IS accounts as they pop up.
"Your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you," the post reads. Though it was shared online by IS supporters, its source has not been confirmed. "We told you from the beginning it's not your war, but you didn't get it and kept closing our accounts on Twitter, but we always come back."
Twitter, as I've reported in the past, is one of IS's main avenues to quickly spread content; it has posted beheading videos on the service and has attempted to recruit new members there, too. In some cases, actual fighters tweet from the front lines of battle in Syria. A recent study showed that as many 46,000 Twitter accounts were used by IS sympathizers during a three-month period last fall.
Though Twitter's official terms of use policy bans "direct, specific threats of violence against others," the company told my colleague Mike Isikoff that it does not proactively monitor its networks for terrorist activity. This laissez-faire attitude has spurred Congress to pressure Twitter to ramp up its efforts at blocking the terrorist organization's online presence.
Now, it seems that IS is trying to intimidate Twitter executives with a call from all its members around the globe to attack the company.
"For the 'individual jihadi' all over the world, target the Twitter company and its interests in any place, people, and buildings, and don't allow any one of the atheists to survive," the post reads.

seems they are the kkk in black...
I've had enough.....this has to stop...
I shine a light on all of them that their faces are seen with their evil written on their faces
and they are recognized as evil
and a higher power crushes their evil by blessing them with a conscious and knowledge
of what they are doing..
You may have a possible description of a connection with how they seem to do things similar to some things that the KKK may have done or maybe still do in what you say Space Otter..
It may be just the start of other sites to be attacked in a similar way...
These things seem to always crop up sooner or later.. just hope it dies down again soon..

This type of zealous behavior is exactly why I'm an anti-theist. It's one thing to hold private beliefs, quite another to start decapitating people who don't agree with you on issues that are entirely subjective.
Sorry I deleted my post on this thread, somehow I seem to have got two threads mixed up.,

Agreed and been saying so for years..
.. but I am thinking there is no point repeating it. I have seen a steady decline in rational thought since the 70's I think the internet may be to blame, because before that our exposure to the world was small and local. Now we see and comment on everything that is happening and likely create it by focusing on it, certainly give it life.
Before we used to socialize in the real world and all that really mattered was in our own back yard... and we had relative peace

Encouraging anti-theistic attitudes is exactly what said behaviour is designed to do. Read Albert Pike's quote.
Works for me :P
Send all the God-Nuts into space to meet that comet! :P

As I think that the "anti" point of view is what creates fundamentalism, I try not to be anti any thing, my beliefs are just that, I don't have reason to consider them better or worse than anyone else's. :)

I'm anti-scriptural. I do not need the words of another man to know right from wrong. Spiritual matters are for your own soul and should not be based on the second hand spiritual material of another.

You gotta love how ironic ISIL's dependency on Western social media platforms. Engineered and thought up in a free democracy,

The only part that does not originate in a free democracy is their twisted philosophy. Funny that. ::)

What they design this behavior to do is cause widespread panic and fear, nothing more. Anti-theism isn't the goal, it's the inevitable result. Theism is responsible for so much anguish and despair in the world, as well as holding back the potential of the species. Abrahamic religions are a tattered remnant of the bronze age that we'd be better off discarding as soon as possible.

I don't think so, what is responsible is the way people act, and they act like that based on theism, politics, soccer clubs, whatever people can use as an excuse to have a target for their violence.

In scriptures like the old testament and Islamic law books, there are specific instructions to stone to death and various other inhuman acts. Belief that scripture is the law (or word of God just because you are told it is so by a human) is in no small part one of the primary causes of murder and war.
The crusades, the creation of a war crime state of Israel, the Inquisition, the wars to wipe out the Cathars, Jihad and the murderous atrocities of ISIL/IS are all massively influenced on idiots basing their actions on a couple of books.
Time to wake up. If you think the Babble or other works are a reliable guide to life then pull your head out of the proverbial sand. Stop being fools! >:(

True enough, I guess I should rephrase. Theism has been used as justification for so much violence, anguish, and despair in the world. While it's true that people can use anything as justification for violence, I think it's objectively true that theism has been one of the larger tools to that end in human history.
The Christian is miles away. Jesus was not God. She is right. On the other hand, praying 5 times a day is also utterly pointless - even if you love it. Give up scriptural Bollocks and start living.
If there is a God then you were gifted the ability to think and make decisions for yourself. If said God exists then the moment you hand over your actions to a book or another humans interpretation of it you insult that God by insulting the ability to think for yourself. Surely that stands to reason. Come on Sheeple. I'm the Shepherd of men and I say think for yourself.
QuoteIt chanced once on a time, while I was meditating on the things that are, my thought was raised to a great height, yet my bodily senses had been put under restraint as in sleep, though not such sleep as that of men weighed down by fullness of food or bodily weariness. Methought a Being more than vast, in size beyond all bounds, called out my name and said:
"What would you hear and see, and what have you in mind to learn and know?"
"Who are you?" said I.
"I am the Pymander, Divine Mind of the Sovereignity, the Shepherd of Men. I know what you desire, and I am with you everywhere."
"I long to learn the things that are, " I replied, "and comprehend their nature, and know God. This is what I desire to hear."
"Hold in your mind all you would know," the Shepherd answered back to me, "and I will teach you."

It does stand to reason. The problem is that believing that there is a magical sky wizard listening to all of your thoughts and then deciding entirely on his own whim to grant your wishes or not is not reasonable at all, and yet the majority of the world believes exactly that. Reason doesn't work on the unreasonable.

I have tested this scientifically. I have been waiting over 20 years for my millions in a Swiss bank account and yacht on the Mediterranean. If the sky wizard is there he also let my sister die slowly of cancer by the age of 20! He can sit on my cock! >:(

I can relate to that exactly. My sister died of cancer at 28, leaving behind 2 kids and a husband. I guess the sky wizard was too busy helping actors win oscars.
