Reuters employee issues 'Zionist pig' death threat (to Little Green Footballs 5/29/06)

A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an American blogger.

The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut."

It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF) weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist terrorist activities.

In the threat, the Reuters staff member, who has not been named, left his email address as "zionistpig" at hotmail.com.

Reporting the message to his readers, Johnson wrote on his website: "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."

After bringing the threat to the attention of Reuters, Johnson was told by the news organization's Global Head of Communications, Ed

Williams: "I can confirm that an employee has been suspended pending further investigation. The individual was not an employee of Reuters' news division."

In an additional twist, Johnson traced the movements of the sender of the threat, and found direct parallels between the internet locations of the sender and Inayat Bunglawala, Media Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain.

Bunglawala, who contirbuted an editorial to the Guardian website, has attracted negative attention in the past after making anti-Semitic outbursts, and has declared that the British media was "Zionist-controlled."

In the comment section of the Guardian, underneath his own editorial, Bunglawala denied sending the threat, blaming "Zionists" instead.

"That was not me! Methinks some Zionists are up to mischief," he wrote.

Bunglawala called bin Laden a 'freedom fighter'

In January 1993, Mr Bunglawala wrote a letter to Private Eye, the satirical magazine, in which he called the blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman "courageous" - just a month before he bombed the World Trade Center in New York. After Rahman's arrest in July that year, Mr Bunglawala said that it was probably only because of his "calling on Muslims to fulfil their duty to Allah and to fight against oppression and oppressors everywhere".

Five months before 9/11, Mr Bunglawala also circulated writings of Osama bin Laden, who he regarded as a "freedom fighter", to hundreds of Muslims in Britain.

Sounds like Tex-oma.

Isn't Reuters Arab-owned?

This incident proves the following:

1) Reuters = Terrorist organization which threatens murder of innocents

2) Reuters supports murders of Americans by Islamic subhumans

3) Reuters supports torture of Americans by Islamic subhumans

4) So far there is no accountability for this terrorist organization.

"The ZIONISTS made me do it!"

NOTE: for younger FReepers. Picture of late comedian Flip Wilson, famous for his catch-phrase, comedic copout, "The Devil made me do it!" This was usually delivered, IIRC, by his alter-ego, "Geraldine":

Flip realized, however, you always have to pay up in the end. This OTHER famous catch-phrase was, "Here come the judge!"

Reuters didn't do anything. He wasn't a Reuters employee, but we suspended him anyway. Oh, okay. I feel so much better now.

"The individual was not an employee of Reuters' news division."

That is a photo of a prissy little b!tch.

This Bungahola or whoever couldn't issue a face-to-face death threat to a P.O.'d housefly!

Make that "Bungadahola". Sounds better.

Anyway, you have performed a public service to this thread by providing a photo of this little wussie wannabe terrorist.

No, for instance my main tool at work is a Reuter's machine ... and I'm on a trading desk at a brokerage firm.

Bunga's worse insult was to call the LGF guy "man-titted".

Man, that has to really have hurt. Vicious thing calling a man man-titted. I mean, those jihadist are getting worse by the day. He's gonna pull out the w word next <<hint, it starts with a w and ends with a double s.

These guys are retarded, that is my new stance. I swear, their average IQ is 85. Even their insults are lame.

And what kind of man calls another man "man-titted".

Has anyone here ever called another man that?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I get the impression that hit and run is the style for these folks. And who can be surprised that he works for Reuters?

The individual was not an employee of Reuters' news division.

Maybe he was employed by their Military/Jihadist Wing.
