'Why we hate you': ISIS reveal 6 reasons why they hate & fight Westerners
Monday, August 1, 2016
In an article entitled 'Why We Hate you and
Want to Fight You', ISIS spells out six reasons why they are hell bent
on destroying the West. Read them after the cut...
The
article begins: "Shortly following the blessed attack on a sodomite,
Crusader nightclub by the mujahid Omar Mateen, American politicians were
quick to jump into the spotlight and denounce the shooting, declaring
it a hate crime, an act of terrorism, and an act of senseless violence.
"A
hate crime? Yes. Muslims undoubtedly hate liberalist sodomites, as does
anyone else with any shred of their fitrah (inborn human nature) still
intact.
"An act of terrorism? Most definitely. Muslims have been commanded to terrorize the disbelieving enemies of Allah."
The
writer then goes on to list the top six reasons why the killers want to
destroy the West - although they appear to be two points repeated
several times.
1. Because you are disbelievers.
"We
hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers; you reject
the oneness of Allah – whether you realize it or not – by making
partners for Him in worship, you blaspheme against Him, claiming that He
has a son, you fabricate lies against His prophets and messengers, and
you indulge in all manner of devilish practices."
2 . Because you are liberal
"We
hate you because your secular, liberal societies permit the very things
that Allah has prohibited while banning many of the things He has
permitted, a matter that doesn’t concern you because you Christian
disbelief and paganism 32 separate between religion and state, thereby
granting supreme authority to your whims and desires via the legislators
you vote into power."
3. Because some of you are atheist
"In
the case of the atheist fringe, we hate you and wage war against you
because you disbelieve in the existence of your Lord and Creator."
4. For your crimes against Islam
"We hate you for your crimes against Islam and wage war against you to punish you for your transgressions against our religion."
5. For your crimes against Muslims
"We
hate you for your crimes against the Muslims; your drones and fighter
jets bomb, kill, and maim our people around the world, and your puppets
in the usurped lands of the Muslims oppress, torture, and wage war
against anyone who calls to the truth."
6. For invading our lands
"We
hate you for invading our lands and fight you to repel you and drive
you out. As long as there is an inch of territory left for us to
reclaim, jihad will continue to be a personal obligation on every single
Muslim."
"What’s important to understand here
is that although some might argue that your foreign policies are the
extent of what drives our hatred, this particular reason for hating you
is secondary, hence the reason we addressed it at the end of the above
list.
"The fact is, even if you were to
stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and
usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary
reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam."
Nigerian ringleader of global network behind thousands of online scams arrested in Rivers State- Interpol
Monday, August 1, 2016
A Nigerian suspected of being in charge of a network of internet
scammers, stealing around $60m (£45m), has been arrested in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According
to the international police organisation, the 40-year-old Nigerian
known as 'Mike', the head of an international criminal network behind
thousands of
online frauds was arrested in a joint operation by INTERPOL and the
Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
The Nigerian national is believed to be behind
scams totalling more than USD 60 million involving hundreds of victims
worldwide. In one case a target was conned into paying out USD 15.4
million.
The network compromised email accounts of small to medium
businesses around the world including in Australia, Canada, India,
Malaysia, Romania, South Africa, Thailand and the US, with the financial
victims mainly other companies dealing with these compromised accounts.
Heading
a network of at least 40 individuals across Nigeria, Malaysia and South
Africa which both provided malware and carried out the frauds, the
alleged mastermind also had money laundering contacts in China, Europe
and the US who provided bank account details for the illicit cash flow.
Following
his arrest in Port Harcourt in southern Nigeria, a forensic examination
of devices seized by the EFCC showed he had been involved in a range of
criminal activities including business e-mail compromise (BEC) and
romance scams.
The main two types of scam run by the 40-year-old
targeted businesses were payment diversion fraud – where a supplier’s
email would be compromised and fake messages would then be sent to the
buyer with instructions for payment to a bank account under the
criminal’s control – and ‘CEO fraud’.
In CEO fraud, the email
account of a high-level executive is compromised and a request for a
wire transfer is sent to another employee who has been identified as
responsible for handling these requests. The money is then paid into a
designated bank account held by the criminal.
‘Mike’ first came
onto the law enforcement radar through a report provided to INTERPOL by
Trend Micro, one of its strategic partners at the INTERPOL Global
Complex for Innovation (IGCI) in Singapore. This, combined with
actionable analysis and intelligence from Fortinet Fortiguard Labs in
2015, enabled specialists at the INTERPOL Digital Crime Centre,
including experts from Cyber Defense Institute based at the IGCI, and
the EFCC to locate the suspect in Nigeria, resulting in his arrest in
June.
Abdul Chukkol, Head of the EFCC’s Cybercrime Section said
the transnational nature of business e-mail compromise makes it complex
to crack, but the arrest sent a clear signal that Nigeria could not be
considered a safe haven for criminals.
"For a long time we have
said in order to be effective, the fight against cybercrime must rely on
public-private partnerships and international cooperation," said Mr
Chukkol.
"The success of this operation is the result of close
cooperation between INTERPOL and the EFCC, whose understanding of the
Nigerian environment made it possible to disrupt the criminal
organization’s network traversing many countries, targeting individuals
and companies," added Mr Chukkol.
Noboru Nakatani, Executive
Director of the IGCI warned that BEC poses a significant and growing
threat, with tens of thousands of companies victimized in recent years.
"The public, and especially businesses, need to be alert to this type of cyber-enabled fraud" said Mr Nakatani. "Basic
security protocols such as two-factor authentication and verification
by other means before making a money transfer are essential to reduce
the risk of falling victim to these scams,"
"It is exactly through
this type of public and private sector cooperation that INTERPOL will
continue to help member countries in bringing cybercriminals to justice
no matter where they are," concluded Mr Nakatani.
The 40-year-old,
along with a 38-year-old also arrested by Nigerian authorities, faces
charges including hacking, conspiracy and obtaining money under false
pretences. Both are currently on administrative bail as the
investigation continues.

Monday, August 1, 2016
Fayose said:
“I must tell you that I have learnt my lessons from my past experience. I will not openly identify or campaign for a candidate any longer. As part of our great party in Ekiti, I ‘m assuring you that I do not have a personal candidate and God knows I have not spoken to my people about any candidate.
“We will allow God to choose for us this time by ensuring that all aspirants have a level-playing ground.
“I have learnt my lessons on Ali Modu Sheriff and I take full responsibility for the consequences. Imagine, if we have allowed him to get there, with the way he is now behaving, it would have been worse than this.”Fayose lamented that in regards to the crisis rocking the party, some people were merely paying lip service to reconciliation efforts in the PDP because of selfish interests.
Fayose also condemned those going to court to express their grievances on party matters.
He said:
“Dry bones of the PDP will rise again”. “God will give the PDP a new leader that will reposition the party to progress in the country.
“In Ekiti, we have no anointed candidate; we would come to Port Harcourt with open mind and let God do justice”Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, who is running for PDP Chairmanship was in Ekiti State at the Jibowu Hall, Government House, soliciting for support.

"At as Sunday morning (yesterday), information at our disposal indicates that some Ijaw people resident in Lagos and Ogun states, for fear of attack, are already relocating from their places of residence to the South-South.”However, the IYC, however, said that the ROPC members and the leaders of the Yoruba nation should allow the police do their jobs by apprehending criminals responsible for the Ogun and Lagos attacks.
In regrds to the situation at Kaiama and the fact that people are relocating due to the fear of the Adaka Boro Avengers, Omare said:
“We call on residents of Kaiama town to be calm and go about their normal activities. There is no plan by the Ijaw people to declare a republic and the threat by Adaka Boro Avengers should be disregarded.
“We wish to warn groups and individuals not to further expose Ijaw and Niger Delta communities to unnecessary tension and danger. They should not abuse modern means of information technology to the detriment of our communities by issuing unnecessary threats and ultimatums.

They should check issues of security with the leadership of Ijaw nation instead of threatening or attacking innocent communities and people,” he added.
The New York Post publishes nude photos of Melania Trump taken for a now defunct French men's magazine (18+)
Monday, August 1, 2016
The Slovenian-born model, then 25 years old and known by her professional moniker Melania K, did the steamy photo session in Manhattan in 1995, according to Alé de Basseville, the French photographer who shot the sexy photos.
The bombshell photos show Melania wearing nothing but high heels and pouting for the camera, in a series of images shot from the front, the back and the side.
"Melania was super-great and a fantastic personality and she was very kind with me," de Basseville told The Post, adding the former model never once felt uncomfortable posing for the nude pictures.Melania’s sexy photo spread appeared in the January 1996 issue of Max, a French men’s magazine that went out of business in 2006. For de Basseville, the inspiration for the pictures was the Renaissance and a celebration of the female body.
"I think it is important to show the beauty and the freedom of the woman, and I am very proud of these pictures because they celebrate Melania’s beauty," he said.At the time of the shoot, Melania had just recently arrived in New York City from modeling stints in Paris and Milan, Italy. In Gotham she was booked for mostly commercial work and was later featured in an ad for Camel cigarettes, the source said.
When asked about the photos, Trump told The Post:
"Melania was one of the most successful models and she did many photo shoots, including for covers and major magazines. This was a picture taken for a European magazine prior to my knowing Melania. In Europe, pictures like this are very fashionable and common."
Muslims pray with Catholics over priest's murder
Monday, August 1, 2016
"I thank you in the name of all Christians," Rouen Archbishop Dominique Lebrun told them. "In this way you are affirming that you reject death and violence in the name of God."
"Being united is a response to the act of horror and barbarism."Notre Dame church in southwestern Bordeaux also welcomed a Muslim delegation, led by the city's top imam, Tareq Oubrou.
"It's an occasion to show (Muslims) that we do not confuse Islam with Islamism, Muslim with jihadist," said Reverend Jean Rouet.Muslims were responding to a call by the French Muslim council CFCM to show "solidarity and compassion" over the priest's murder on Tuesday.
A woman wearing a beige headscarf who sat in a back pew at a church in central Paris said:
"I'm a practising Muslim and I came to share my sorrow and tell you that we are brothers and sisters." Giving her name only as Sadia, she added softly: "What happened is beyond comprehension."At the Saint Leger church in the northern city of Lens, around 30 Muslims attended mass wearing T-shirts emblazoned with messages such as, "Terrorism has no religion or identity".
Father Hubert Renard told the congregation: "We are not alone; our Muslim brothers are here too."
Many were moved to tears during the sign of peace, a regular part of the liturgy when the faithful turn to greet each other in the pews, either shaking hands or kissing.
Muslims also attended Catholic masses in Italy, notably at Rome's Santa Maria di Trastevere church, in response to a call by the Sant'Egidio community known for its international mediation efforts.
Also on Sunday, dozens of prominent Muslims published a joint letter pledging: "We, French and Muslim, are ready to assume our responsibilities."

14 year old girl slits her brother's girlfriend's throat and tells her 'Have a nice afterlife'
Monday, August 1, 2016
According to police documents, Bookey attacked her brother's girlfriend, in the girl's bedroom, by first trying to suffocate her. She is then alleged to have smashed two bowls on the victim's head, and finally cut her throat with a shard from one of the bowls.
After she slit her brother's girlfriend's throat, Bookey called the St Croix County Sheriff's Department on 27 July, claiming that two men in a green pickup truck attempted to kidnap her while she was out for a bike ride.
She then claimed that she told the kidnappers that her brother's girlfriend was home alone and they should take her instead.
The Police arrived at the house and found the girlfriend in her bedroom, bleeding profusely. The girl, 15, was then taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Fortunately she survived the incident and told the Police that during the attack, Bookey asked her if she wanted to die or bleed out, with the 15-year-old opting for the latter.
Bookey told the victim that she was a 'crazy psychopath' looking for her first kill, then after she slit her throat, told her to "have a nice afterlife" and left the trailer.
Police investigators say that Bookey admitted she hated the 15-year-old because she made her brother happier than she was able to, and planned the attack a week and a half before, during previous bike rides.
Bookey confessed to the Police that on the day of the attack, she had left her home at around 4am and rode 11 miles on her bike to her victim's trailer, stating that she wanted to scare her brother's boyfriend so that her brother would "come back to the family" because he was so in love with the girlfriend.
Bookey's mother, Dawn Bookey, told the Associated Press she had no idea about the planned assault.
"We had no clue," the mother said. "There were no signs. We're all very, very sad."
Bookey is currently held without bail in juvenile custody before a preliminary hearing slated for 8 August.

I wasn't part of the 2016 budget padding- sacked Appropriation committee chair, Abdulmumin Jibrin says
Monday, August 1, 2016
He said:
"Well, I wasn't part of the insertions but I think I also didn't help myself because I started speaking quite late. The event that pushed me to start talking doesn't look too attractive to people because they are saying why am I talking now that I have left the position".
Jibrin in the interview denied claims of inserting projects worth N4.1 billion for his constituency into the budget
"Absolutely false. My problem is that I wasn't talking. I came into the National Assembly pretty young and psychologically, you are made to believe that when you are chairman of appropriation, you have to be secretive"he said.When asked if the House of Representatives is corrupt, Jibrin said "There is corruption in the house of Representatives. There is institutional corruption and these are things I can prove".
According to Jibrin, Former President Olusegun Obasanjo wasn't completely wrong when he described the National Assembly as a house filled with rogues and thieves
"Obasanjo is not completely wrong. There is corruption. The only thing is that we keep living in denial. I have been part of the system and I know there is corruption in the system and there is also institutional corruption in that system"he said.Jibrin says even though he has been in the house for 5 years, he has never been involved in any act of corruption.
"I have never been in any act corruption. I have never shared money in the National assembly. Never!"he said
Army/Shiite clash: Kaduna state government release report by judicial commission
Monday, August 1, 2016
The report indicted members of the Islamic movement as the ones responsible for the clash. The report, which was signed by all the members of the commission, recommended the trial of army personnel that were involved in the extra judicial killing of IMN members during the clash.
It also recommended the trial of members of the Islamic movement who took part in the killing of an army officer during the incident.
The Commission in the report made a number of recommendations to the Kaduna State Government and the Federal Government to address all specific areas that led to the sad incident.
THE KADUNA STATE GOVERNMENT
i) Considering the nature and organizational structure of the IMN, where the leader has the total control over the members, Sheikh Ibraheem EI-Zakzaky should be personally held responsible for all the acts of commission and omission of the entire membership of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria in its clashes with the Nigerian Army for refusing to call his members to order when required to do so.
ii) All incidents of violence and aggression by the members of the IMN against individuals, groups or communities, which have resulted in grievous bodily harm, destruction of properties and deaths, should be fully investigated and culprits brought to book. Where appropriate, compensations should be paid.
iii) The State Government should investigate and repossess all illegally acquired public lands from IMN and utilize same for Public Interest.
iv) IMN should be made to conform to all constitutional requirements and the provisions of other by-laws in obtaining land, building or acquiring structures. It must conform to all building regulations, however, whenever and wherever it so desires to build or acquire land or property
v) All the dangerous weapons recovered from the IMN members should be turned over to the Police for further necessary action.
vi) The Government should deal with the IMN in accordance with the laws and regulations of the land and be made to conduct its activities and affairs within the ambit of the law at all times.
vii) Intelligence reports by security agencies regarding threats to security, law and order should be taken seriously and acted upon timeously to nip in the bud such occurrence.
viii) Mechanism should be put in place for the proposed Bill on Religious Preaching to be passed into law as quickly as possible and implemented with a view to purging Religious Groups which embark on provocative teachings and preaching.
ix) Compensation should be paid to all those persons who complained before the Commission that their properties were either destroyed or damaged as a result of the clash.
x) The Government should make effort to reduce the number of idle hands that might otherwise be willing recruits for the Movement by providing employment to the teaming masses of the State. xi) The prospects of constructive engagement with the leadership of the IMN should not be foreclosed.
xii) The State Government should ensure that investigations against all persons under detention in respect of these clashes between the NA and the IMN on 12th— 14thDecember, 2015 are concluded and treated expeditiously.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
i) The Commission is of the view that the use of excessive force by the Nigerian Army, which led to the heavy casualties recorded in the Cordon and Search Operation is an act of commission for which the NA is directly responsible. The Commission therefore recommends that steps should immediately be taken to identify the members of the NA who participated in the killings of 12th— 14thDecember 2015 incident with a view to prosecuting them.
ii) The Federal Government should ensure that investigations against all persons under detention in respect of this clashes between the NA and the IMN on 12th— 14thDecember, 2015 are concluded and treated expeditiously.
iii) All incidents of violence and aggression by the members of the IMN against individuals, groups or communities, which have resulted in grievous bodily harm, destruction of properties and deaths, should be fully investigated and culprits brought to book. Where appropriate, compensations should be paid.
iv) Considering the nature and organizational structure of the IMN, where the leader has the total control over the members, Sheikh lbraheem EI-Zakzaky should be personally held responsible for all the acts of commission and omission of the entire membership of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria in its clashes with the Nigerian Army for refusing to call his members to order when required to do so.
v) The Federal Government should explore diplomatic means to dissuade other Countries from interfering in the Internal Affairs of Nigeria.
vi) The prospects of constructive engagement with the leadership of the IMN should not be foreclosed.
vii) The Government should deal with the IMN in accordance with the laws and regulations of the land and be made to conduct its activities and affairs within the ambit of the law at all times.
viii) Members of the IMN should never be allowed to carry any unlicensed weapon under any guise. Whosoever found so doing should be prosecuted immediately.
ix) All the dangerous weapons recovered from the IMN members should be turned over to the Police for further necessary action.
x) Intelligence reports by security agencies regarding all threats to security, law and order should be taken seriously and acted upon timeously to nip in the bud such occurrences.
xi) The Federal Government should have the political will to deal with such threats posed by the IMN and similar groups. Testimonies at the proceedings of the Commission by various stakeholders, pointed to non-implementation of the recommendations of previous reports of other Commissions of Inquiry relating to the IMN and other groups who were found to have posed grave threats to law, order and peaceful coexistence. Of particular relevance were the Galtimari and the Sheikh Lemu Presidential Commission pertaining to Boko Haram insurgency.
xii) The Federal Government should be proactive in its dealing with threats posed by groups such as the IMN.
xiii) The Federal Government Agencies should respond positively to requests for information by Commissions of Inquiry such as this Commission to enable it make informed decisions or come to a firm findings on issues based on credible data held by them that is not in the public domain.
xiv) The Federal Government should ensure the presence of the Nigeria Police and other Security Agencies in every community and other flash point areas for effective maintenance of law and order.
xv) Efforts should be made by the Police Authorities to revisit the system of Nigeria Mobile Police Force Unit, as it was in the yesteryears, so that involvement of the Military in the management of civil disorder would be minimized.
xvi) The Police Authority should ensure that recruitment into the Force should be done on merit, suitability and good character as the Nigeria Police of today contains all manner of characters.
xvii) The Federal Government should ensure professionalizing the Nigeria Police and other Security Agencies through capacity building, procurement of civil disorder management equipment and improved welfare.
xviii) The Security Agencies should ensure 'watch listing' of IMN members ?,rid other persons of security interests, whenever they are going out of or coming back into Nigeria with a view to discovering the sources of their funding, foreign contacts and other relevant and useful information.
xix) The Federal Government should not ignore the touted boast by the IMN that it has its members all across the security services who feed it with counter intelligence.
xx) The Security agencies aside having an effective synergy should further strengthen their intelligence gathering mechanism in respect of the activities of the group so as to ensure prompt and timely interventions.
xxi) The Federal Government should facilitate the establishment of Community Policing in its real sense in Nigeria with a view to curbing immediately any breach of law and order in any Community.
xxii) The Federal Government should ensure that it develops and implement properly intelligence driven operation policies for the country.
xxiii) The Federal Government should review the adequacy of the existing rules of engagement pertaining to internal security operations and bring them into conformity with constitutional stipulations and in accord with democratic norms and humanitarian best practices.
The Commission made some general recommendations that affect both Federal and State Governments relating to employment, responsibility of parents to their children, enhancing citizenship, the role of traditional institutions and proliferation of small arms and light weapons in the country.
