#1 I guess once the food goes bad they can really fast.

So airlines IT and now power distribution infrastructure. What gets hacked next?

My guess is the hydroelectric dam control systems.

#3 This actually makes sense for a religion that tries to turn envy from a vice into a virtue - if I can't have it nobody can have it.

Expansionist Islam shares this terrible character flaw with another of the most toxic Christian heresies, radical secularist leftism.

#4 Hey, be happy that they correctly related a power substation to electricity. That's better than most correlations they make.

#8 The whole country has a listed (what they believe they can generate...inshallah) electrical generation capacity of 25,100 MW, about half of what New Jersey generates.

The stations they targeted (Hydro Infrastructure Stations, so Skidmark is on the right track) produce roughly 18% of the country's total power.

#9 ...hundreds of people protesting at the cuts by trying to set a power station ablaze...

They're not the sharpest knives in the drawer, are they?
