His only crime, being a Jew and once working for the Daily Mail.

/// Next came a barrage of links to a message board on Muslim website Ummah.com. The top post was headed: “i am pledging allegiance to the caliphate”. ///

/// It read: “salam my sisters and brothers we should get out of this evil country and pledge our allegiance to the Muslim sharia law and get out of evil west. who wants to join me so we can wage war and jihad against the corrupt west.” ///

Let us hope that some of his 'Brothers' and 'Sisters' follow his advice, and get out of our country.

I'm going to tell you this story, because it shocked me, and I think it might surprise you too.

My nephew, who is 23, decided to shut down his digital life, closing all of his online accounts and then start up with different accounts (He wanted to disassociate himself from a load of wasters whom he did not want to communicate with any more).

He killed his Instagram account, his Snapseed account, his Facebook account, his Youtube account, his Twitter account etc etc.

A few weeks after this, I needed to send him details of an event that he needed tickets for.

I asked him how I could get the information to him, and he told me, "Just email me".

I responded with surprise..."If you've changed all your online identities, how come you still have the same email address?"

He responded:

"LOL...no-one, but NO-ONE ever uses email...apart from you Uncle. It's for old people".

I laughed, and made a note to get him a rubbish Christmas present.

Yes I can quite believe your tale, sp. But the point is it is no use youngsters wanting to embrace all the latest technologies if they cause them so much grief that they cannot handle. They must learn to cope.

But why did the post come from his old Daily Mail IP address? It is not mistaken identity, someone did use it to purport to be an Islamic extremist and posted it on this website waiting for replies. If it wasn't him, who was it? Who else knew his login details?

It seems there is more to this than we are being told.

As I understood it somebody just made out it came from him/his ip address.

The website record the IP address of anyone who joins, and this pist came from the daily Mail Groups IP Adress but probably not from the individual named in the article.

So, it was either someone maliciously trying to blacken his name, or
Someone hacking into his account and using it to conceal their own identity. Apparently the post came from North Ametica, not London, so a third party would appear to ve responsible.

Apologies for all the typos in the above post.
