Multiply - Algerian Bank Scam

OK well I didn't expect this but it has already happened. Here is a copy paste of the first scam phishing bank scam I recieved here. This type of scam (below) is called an Agerian bank scam.

Be sure not to click on the web site (actually I will remove their links from the paste) Be sure not to respond or open pages or web site from anyone who sends what looks like a scam. Even if it E-mailed from a friend. If you receive one from a friends E-mail, kick them a couple times, call them names, have them remove your name from their email list, and then educate them on computer security. If you open a web site from a phisher/scamer you are taking risks with your computer security. Flash and many friends / social networks do have holes that attackers can abuse, so be carefull out there in cyber space.

Wahhabism - Please Read This

Wahhabism is not a sect. It is the name of a reform movement. It is the conduit of the modern spread of terrorism. The previous Posts show you legislation regarding Saudi Arabia's influence and spread of Wahhabism in America. The goal of the Wahhabist propaganda is to create more terrorists. This ideology "Wahhabism" has recent roots in Serbia, Bosnia, Somalia, Sudan, Algeria, and is spreading. It teaches hate, much like the Hitler Youth Movement in the 1930's, the terrorists/Wahhabists goals are to brain wash young minds and mold them into people who will hate anyone who does not follow their views. Currently the European infestation of the Wahhabi ideology stems from the Bosnia War. The Wahhabist are the people who wage Jihad. They spread hate propaganda much like Hitler and Gerbil. We must stop these people by any means necessary. My Next Post I will give some insight into how to spot a follower of Wahhabism.- Ian Bach

The following is some of the information I found regarding Jihad and Wahhabism and how it has spread throughout the World and why it must be stopped as soon as possible. - Ian Bach

Wahabism is a branch of Islam practiced by those who follow the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, after whom the movement is named. Ibn Abdul Wahhab, who reintroduced Shariah (Islamic) law to the Arabian peninsula, was influenced by the writings of scholars such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taymiyya. This theology is the dominant form found in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, as well as some pockets of Somalia, Algeria, Palestine and Mauritania.

"Wahabism" is among the most conservative forms of Islam?[says wikipedia - I call BS on that. - Ian bach]

Others have described the doctrine as inspiring violence and intolerance. [I agree says Ian Bach]

Ibn Abdul-Wahhab went so far as to declare jihad against Muslims who practiced so-called acts of polytheism. Ibn Abdul-Wahhab's views were totally opposite to those of the renowned Muslim scholars of Mecca and Medina of that time. For example, he called intermediation of the Prophet an act of polytheism.

Wahhabis see their role as restoring Islam from what they perceive to be polytheism and innovations, superstitions, deviances, heresies and idolatries. There are many practices that they believe are contrary to Islam, such as:

• Listening to hymns in praise of the Prophet Muhammad
• Praying to God while visiting tombs (praying near the Prophet Muhammad's tomb is also considered polytheism by the Wahhabis)
• Blindly following any madhhabs (schools of thought) of Islamic jurisprudence in their legal expertise, "except for one who is under necessity and can not reach the Sunnah
• Using non-literal explanations of God's attributes exclusively in preference to literal explanations.
• Celebrating the milad (birthday of the Prophet Muhammad )
• Supposed or actual innovations (bid'ah) in matters of religion (e.g. new supplementary methods of worship or laws not sanctioned by Ibn Abdul-Wahab)
• Killing of any Muslim or Non-Muslim who opposes them in any way
• Killing of Muslims who interact the Non-Muslim is considered as Jihad and the best way to enter paradise to the extent that it is more important than praying salat (one of the pillars of Islam).
• Killing of Innocent Women and children as acceptable even if they are casulty of war, although in Islam these group of people are protected whether Muslims or non-Muslims.

Wahhabism also denounces "the practice of unthinking adherence to the interpretations of scholars and the blind acceptance of practices that were passed on within the family or tribe. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab believed in the responsibility of the individual Muslim to learn and obey the divine commands as they were revealed in the Quran and in the hadith."

This theology spread into Oman during the mid 1700's AD where it played a role in the internal disputes and succession struggles of the country. Ultimately however, its influence lessened over time

Modern spread of Wahhabism

In 1924 the al-Saud dynasty (who were influenced by the teachings of Abdul Wahhab) conquered Mecca and Medina, the Muslim holy cities. This gave them control of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage, and the opportunity to preach their version of Islam to the assembled pilgrims. However, Wahhabism was a minor current within Islam until the discovery of oil in Arabia, in 1938. Vast oil revenues gave an immense impetus to the spread of conservative Islamic theology. Saudi laypeople, government officials and clerics have donated many tens of millions of US dollars to create religious schools, newspapers and outreach organizations.

Wahhabism is also thought to have had a large impact on the Qatar peninsula. It was embraced by many of the tribes of the peninsula and was a motivating factor in the efforts of the Al Thani clan (the current ruling dynasty of Qatar) to resist attempted conquest by the Al Khalifa clan (the current ruling dynasty of Bahrain) who rejected Wahhabism. Wahhabism also set Qatar apart from the rest of the Persian Gulf States. This may have been part of the reason that Qatar did not join the United Arab Emirates as was suggested by the British at the time.

Wahhabism in Qatar and Saudi Arabia

Get out your Google Earth and check look at Qatar this is a small country but it is significant in the war on terror. There are many followers of Wahhabism here. Wahhabism started in mid 1700s in Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism faded out for many years up until about the early 1900's

It has spread now to many other Countries. These include Pakistan, Algeria, Somalia, Sudan, Qatar, Palestine, Serbia, Bosnia, and now it is being spread throughout Europe, Americas, Southeast Asia, and even Australia. Saudi Arabia has been a big producer of propaganda magazines to spread Wahhabism. In 2005 the US Senate started to take further actions against the hate propaganda.

Please understand not all Saudis' or Arabs are Wahhabist. But today most of the people approx. 90% mostly the poor and disenfranchised in Saudi Arabi are followers of wahhabism. The Royal Family are not followers and do not want Wahhabism. Since about 1995 Bin Laden and his followers have sought to takeover the power of the Saudi Royal Family and to overthrow the Saudi Arabian government. There are some very powerful and influential people and some Clerics in Saudi Arabia who preach and spread Wahhabism. One area is in the Southwest of Saudi Arabia is where Bin Laden spent much of his time in the Mosques as a young man. This is where he first started to learn about Radical Wahhabism and he started to practice and preach the hate and lies that wahhabism represents. End Note....

NOTE: People like Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Al Zarqawy, etc... are the preachers and teachers of Wahhabism today. End Note....

Bin Laden who is sorta the bastard child of royal family had syrian mother who his dad divorced soon after bin laden was born. Bin Laden has never been a true part of royal family, he was not included in family vacations and he has been described as a loner during his childhood years, and this may be part of reason he talks so bad about, and hates the Saudi Royal Family.

Prior to 911 Sudan wanted to kick Osama out of Sudan, But the Saudi royal family had already disowned him by this point because of his actions. It has been stated by many reputable sources that Sudan attempted to hand Bin Laden over to USA but the Clinton Administration did not want the Liabilities that may have occured. This is about the time that Osama went to Afghanistan.

(In fact my investigations and that of others has shown that the Clinton Administration made many mistakes most of these were due to white house lawyers who felt doing anything would have unknown implications.... Well it's too bad they didn't make the move when they had so many chances.)

Saudis themselves do not use the term "Wahhabi", preferring to call themselves Unitarians - believers in one indivisible deity.

The Wahhabia movement Started sometime, around 1748 AD. The movement faded out somewhat until about 1928 when an alliance was created between the Wahhabi religious movement and the House of Saud - the family that has ruled the Saudi kingdom since its creation in the 1930s. In daily life, the Saudi religious establishment - the ulema - have imposed strict segregation of the sexes, an absolute prohibition of the sale and consumption of alcohol, a ban on women driving and many other social restrictions. The rules are enforced by the "mutawa", or religious police, who patrol the streets and shopping centres on the look-out for anyone breaking the rules.

Taleban version
There are some similarities between the Saudi interpretation of Islam and that of the ruling Taleban movement in Afghanistan. The Taleban, too, represent an unusually strict form of Sunni Islam - and restrictions on women, for example, are even tighter than in Saudi Arabia. But the Taleban are not Wahhabis. They belong to what is known as the Deobandi movement, named after the small town of Deoband in the Indian Himalayas. It was here that the movement was founded, in the 1860s, during the period of British rule in India. Over time, the movement has become a broad umbrella, including in its ranks Muslims who wish to remain aloof from politics - and others, like the Taleban, who are politically militant. It would be wrong to see either Bin Laden or the Taleban as typical of modern Sunni movements. They represent a radical fringe, rather than the Sunni mainstream.

Al jazeera TV is a propaganda of hate and lies Wahhabi use this to Spread their lies and to create more fear and to recruit more followers.

Recently Al Jazeera TV started to air its hate and lies in English. But American Business men made sure that all TV networks and Cable Providers would not broadcast Al Jazeera in America. But the al Jazeera TV station has gained more listeners. Now Iran has announced a new 24/7 Satelite TV station and this is very bad for all the world.

Yahoo Questions and Answers

I really enjoy the Yahoo forum called "questions and answers". Someone once said "there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers."

Having said that you can view my dumb (wink) answers link on right side of the Yahoo Q&A - Bar below.

Here was a good question and my attempt to answer same:

Question?:
How do I edit my Blog Roll?

I want to make links to my blog posts.

Also how do I add a favorite web site?

Answer:
How to add Links to your Yahoo 360 Page / Blog Roll.

Say I do an Entry about yahoo Q and A.

What I do is add “tags” (link is on the bottom of you Blog entries)

Add “tags” like:

yahoo, questions, answers, .yahoo_q_a

Something like .yahoo_q_a would be a good Target “tag”

Here are two (2) methods to use this:

After you publish the Blog entry click the tag with the “.text” copy the address from your internet explorer address bar. It should look like this:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-maffXBw4eqgt97WCgUjX?tag=.yahoo_q_a

You can also do it this way:

Copy/past your Blogs Address, then Edit it and add you yahoo id and the tag as follows

Example Copied Link shown here:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-maffXBw4eqgt97WCgUjX

Another way is say I want to link my entry about Ahmed Shah Massoud the “Lion of Panjshir”

So I click “top page” (link near your yahoo picture, top left) not “my top page” then click “Blog” not “My Blog”

It may look like this:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-maffXBw4eqgt97WCgUjX

Then you will need to edit that

Use your yahoo id and the dot “tag” (.massoud in this case)

Then replace the text in “Blog Roll” as follows

Delete the “blog-maffXBw4eqgt97WCgUj”

Add your info (yahoooID?tag=.text) like this, ianbach?tag=.massoud like shown here:
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/ianbach?tag=.massoud

Add a link: Click the “Edit My Blog Roll”

Copy the web page address

Paste it on right side and write a description of the Link on the left.

Add you profile link: Be sure like mentioned above that you don’t click “My Top Page” or the link won’t work since that’s Your logged in status page, and can’t be viewed by others. So click the “Top Page” link above your yahoo Avatar or Picture.

It should look like this:

http://360.yahoo.com/profile-maffXBw4eqgt97WCgUjX

If it looks like this you are looking at your view not public view:

http://360.yahoo.com/my_profile-maffXBw4eqgt97WCgUjX;_ylt=AvDPWdpU68xf.EdwLawn33mqAOJ3

Best Wishes,

Islamist Guerrillas in Northwest Africa IV

In light of yesterday's attacks in Algiers, Abu Muqawama is going to link to some reading on Islamist militant groups in Algeria and the attacks themselves. First is Emily Hunt's piece on the GSPC. Emily spent time in Algeria researching this piece last year and has written a good primer on one of Algeria's militant groups -- albeit from a U.S.-centric perspective. Next, a timeline from Le Figaro showing other Islamist attacks in Algeria since 2000. Third, here is a link to Le Monde's coverage of the attacks, which has lots of videos, background reading, pictures, and a link to today's editorial. Finally, here is a link to the BBC's coverage, which includes a link to BBC World's video report.

Le Monde is one of the better sources I like. But the link above isn't working so here it is
