| LGF (blogger) Now Getting Death Threats From Reuters |
| 2006-05-26 |
| Early this morning at about 3:00 am on the West Coast, someone in Sweden Britain connected to the Internet and browsed over to this article at the Guardian by Inayat Bunglawala, media secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain: This code could open doors. Bunglawala’s piece (about the Da Vinci Code) is in the section of the Guardian site where readers can comment, and someone posted a link to LGF as a rebuttal to Bunglawala. Our Swedish British visitor clicked that link, leading him/her/it to this post: Swedish Muslims Demand Shari’a. At 3:23 am, this creature used our contact form to send the following email with the obviously phony Hotmail address ‘zionistpig@hotmail.com’ and the subject line, “You bunch of wankers.” I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut.... Well, isn’t that tolerant. But this particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News: RIPE Whois Database: 192.165.213.18. (Please note: the name and address below are those of Reuters’ technical contact, not the name of the freak responsible for our hate mail. Please do not send him email...) Ordinarily would be put in 'Opinion', but in this case, the blogger is part of the story. |

| #13 Radical Islam = China > they can wage war forever in the name of Heaven, but no one else has the right to wage war against them. |

| #12 And, of course, the most likely culprit -- Inayat Bumwad -- is threatening to go to the police. My bet -- he doesn't, because he's connected to the threat. |

| #10 Doublespeak to soothe the masses. If not an employee, they cannot "Suspend" him. Bullshit. |

| #9 From lgf, a reply from Reuters to CJ: "Following your email regarding the posting of an offensive message that was sent from a Reuters IP address, I can confirm that an employee has been suspended pending further investigation. The individual was not an employee of ReutersÂ’ news division. Yours sincerely Ed Williams" |

| #8 According to the latest LGF update, Reuters confirms an employee has been suspended "pending further investigation". I think they found the rascal who did it.... |

| #6 Islam has already declared war against America and Israel, India, and a host of other civilizations. One of these days, somebody somewhere will respond in kind and declare war on Islam. I'm looking for a leader with balls here, any takers ? |

| #5 probably not a psycho probably just a committed islamofascist who happens to be on the Reuters payroll and who has received verbal encouragement from his coworkers |

| #1 They don't call them Rooters for nothing. Sad that they are rooting for the downfall of Western Civilization. |
