After the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris this past January, the hacktivist group Anonymous set its sights on the Islamic jihadist perpetrators. #OpCharlieHebdo was aimed at tracking and taking down the social media accounts of all terrorists and their sympathizers including ISIS. They are apparently doubling down after the latest multiple terrorist attacks in Paris with #OpParis.
One day after the carnage, they took down over over 5,000 Twitter accounts, though I'm sure by now it's more. They've also set up websites in case you want to help. Here's the official Twitter account for #OpParis, where they are warning that ISIS is setting up fake accounts. So beware.
They have also published the names, addresses and phone numbers of 5 ISIS recruiters living in Afghanistan, Somalia and Tunisia, and one allegedly living in Europe.
Of course, there is no way to determine how many they have really shut down, and naturally they will sprout back up like nasty weeds, but at least ISIS is somewhat thwarted by the hackers.
Here is their latest video.

Bill Maher Confronts Howard Dean After Claiming Muslim Terrorists Are As Muslim As He Is
Bill Maher ripped fellow uber-liberal, former presidential hopeful Howard Dean- infamous for that campaign scream, oh so long ago- for claiming, during the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo and Kosher deli massacres, that Muslim terrorists aren't, well, Muslim. Of course, he's not alone, but it's good to see Maher take him to task.
Howard Dean had said that the terrorists in Paris were "about as Muslim as I am," and after being confronted by Maher, he comes up with a pretty darn stupid explanation for why he believes that.
Interesting note- the audience kept applauding Dean.

And for a little humor, here's someones remix of that Dean scream.
Imagine if he had actually won the 2004 presidential elections.
