Another horrendous piece of news – from Tom Porter at the International Business Times (which so far seems to be the only English news outlet reporting it) –
So that’s appalling.
Isis supporters have called for lone wolf terrorists to target Franco Moroccan cartoonist Zineb el-Rhazoui, who survived the attacks on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo last month.
Thousands of supporters of the jihadist group have tweeted under the hashtag translated as #MustKillZinebElRhazouiInRetaliationForTheProphet, reports Vocativ, posting her personal details, pictures of her husband and sister, and a map showing places she had visited taken from her Facebook account, as well as pictures of Isis beheadings.
Money has also been offered in reward for information on her or her husband’s homes or places of work, reports Alyaoum24.com.
What can we do. Murderers can defeat us, because they’re happy to murder.
John Morales says
Focusing on soft targets is a sign of impotence; the signature of terrorists everywhere.

Murderers cannot defeat us. There are more of us than them, and always will be.

500 people turned up to the Copenhagen murderer’s funeral. Full of sympathy. How shitty Europe is becoming.
Ophelia Benson says
Ugh.
Harald Hanche-Olsen says
Today in Oslo, about 1300 young Muslims formed a «circle of peace» around the synagogue in a show of solidarity with the (far less numerous) Jews.
Not everything is shitty in Europe.
wannabe says
Um.. Isn’t soliciting murder a violation of Twitter content policy?

Oh, please, get real. The “STFU or die” strategy is working just fine. An axe wielding maniac invading someone’s home because mo, indeed has the dampening effect on the free flow of ideas these bullies intend. This is the goal, it’s what these cultists want. The murderers laugh gleefully that they have so successfully fucked with our daily existence.
Ophelia Benson says
Seriously. What a completely ridiculous claim.
What is that even supposed to mean? Try saying that with an added dateline – Rwanda, Srebrenica, Cambodia, Kosovo, Sarajevo, Nanjing, all of Europe from France deep into Russia – the Americas in the 15th & 16th centuries, the US in the 19th century, King Leopold’s Belgium, Amritsar – and on and on.
One armed murderer who likes murdering can very easily and happily defeat a larger number of people, and anyway “us” and “them” is not a stable pair of categories. People can become murderers in a heartbeat. (They can also reverse the process.)
Ugh I hate that kind of wishful-thinking platitude.
Kamaka says
All the apocalyptic cultists have to do is post a video to interfere with other people’s freedom of movement. They are control freaks. They hate freedom of movement. They want submission. Kneel and plant your face on the rug 5 times a day, or die.
It won’t be long, our malls will be like The Mall of Asia in Manila, PH: to get in you must submit to a search.
