>A man who said he murdered a Glasgow shopkeeper because of his version of Islamic beliefs has released messages from prison calling on his supporters to kill other "insulters", say reports on Friday (23 September).

>Tanveer Ahmed, 32, stabbed to death Asad Shah because he felt the shopkeeper, who followed the Ahmadiyya brand of Islam, was guilty of "disrespecting the prophet Mohamed". The Ahmadiyya are accused of not believing Mohammed to be the final Prophet, which many Muslims regard as blasphemous.

>In one of five messages uploaded to the same YouTube account - apparently via a mobile phone - Ahmed said: "There's only one punishment for those who insult the prohphet: Cut off their heads, cut off their heads, cut off their heads."

Father Jacques Hamel was stabbed to death by Islamist extremists in July in his church near Rouen in Normandy.

Pope Francis has described as “a martyr” the elderly French priest who was stabbed to death at his altar by Islamist extremists, strongly implying that he will one day be made a saint.

In a forthright homily in the chapel of the Vatican guesthouse where he lives, the Pope said that anyone who murders in the name of God is “satanic”.

The world should have “the courage to tell the truth: killing in the name of God is satanic," he said.

He repeatedly described the Rev Jacques Hamel, who was knifed to death in July in an attack that was claimed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), as a martyr.

"He accepted his martyrdom there on the altar," the Pope said. "He is a martyr and martyrs are beatified."

The remarks strongly suggested that the Pope intends to make Father Hamel a saint. Beatification is the first major step in the path towards sainthood.

For a person to be beatified, the Catholic Church normally requires that a miracle be attributed to them. But that condition appears to have been waived by the Pope, who has established a reputation for “jumping over procedural hurdles”, as one Vatican insider put it.

The Argentinean pontiff spoke at a special Mass for around 80 Catholics from Rouen, where the 85-year-old was killed after two men barged their way into his church in the suburb of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray.

They forced him to kneel and then slit his throat, while chanting in Arabic at the altar. The two attackers were shot dead by police as they came out of the church.

The Pope said that before he was murdered, Father Hamel yelled at his attackers: “Satan, get out!” He added: “What a pleasure it would be if all religious confessions would say: 'To kill in the name of God is satanic'

>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Hillary Clinton Sunday night at a New York hotel, after conferring earlier in the day with Donald Trump for nearly 90 minutes at Trump Tower.
Clinton, the Democratic nominee, talked with Netanyahu during a closed-door meeting at the W Hotel in Union Square. It was hardly their first discussion -- the pair often held talks during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.

>Clinton and Netanyahu discussed the recently-signed U.S.-Israel defense Memorandum of Understanding to "strengthen the defense and intelligence relationship and work closely with Israel to ensure Israel's Qualitative Military Edge," according to a senior Clinton campaign aide. Clinton also stressed her commitment to countering attempts to delegitimize Israel, including through the BDS movement. That's an issue with potential to resonate with pro-Israel voters six weeks out from Election Day.

>They also discussed the Iran nuclear deal -- which Netanyahu has argued against vociferously -- and other regional changes, including the ongoing civil war in Syria. Also on the table: the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process. "The secretary reaffirmed her commitment to work toward a two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict negotiated directly by the parties that guarantees Israel's future as a secure and democratic Jewish state with recognized borders and provides the Palestinians with independence, sovereignty, and dignity," the aide said. Secretary Clinton reaffirmed her opposition to any attempt by outside parties to impose a solution, including by the UN Security Council."

>Anonymous critics on the internet can’t be unmasked by a defamation lawsuit unless the plaintiff proves with evidence that what they said was false, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled in a significant First Amendment decision released Thursday.

>“Without free comment on matters of public concern, totalitarianism can arise. And naturally, when public speech is ‘free,’ that speech will contain comments critical of those who seek to govern,” Justice Mary Noble wrote for the court’s majority. “Indeed, it is inherent in a democracy that only by exercising one’s voice can the individual citizen truly participate in the governance of society. Sometimes, negative things just need to be said.”

>In the case at question, Pikeville lawyer Bill Hickman sued two people, labeled as John Does number 1 and 2, for scathing but anonymous comments they made on the website Topix about his work as chairman of the Pikeville-Pike County Airport Board. His critics accused him of various bad acts, such as manipulating land appraisals, building himself an airplane hangar at airport expense and generally wasting millions of dollars in public funds.

>First Look Media, one of the financiers behind last year’s Best Picture winner Spotlight, is becoming the catalyst for another fascinating fact-based film. I’m told the company is going to finance We Do Not Forget, a drama to star Daniel Radcliffe and Zachary Quinto. Scripted by Stranger Than Fiction scribe Zach Helm to direct, the film is a fictionalized account of a real battle between the “hacktivist” organization Anonymous and the Mexican drug cartel known as Los Zetas. Antoine Fuqua is producing the picture through his Fuqua Films banner.

>Helm has turned a real confrontation into a fictionalized drama that is on track to shoot before year’s end. In reports about the real skirmish, Anonymous reportedly uncovered 25,000 Mexican government emails that had the names of Zeta members and their business information. The organization threatened to make the documents public after one of its members was kidnapped by the cartel. The decision to take on the powerful cartel riled the members of Anonymous, internally, which is understandable given the level of violence attributed to the group. The cartel hired security experts to track down the hackers, promising death to any whose identity was uncovered. The hacking effort, which was called #OpCartel, was abandoned and some reports wondered how serious it all got. But it seems a strong jumping-off point for a film. CAA packaged it, arranged financing and will sell the picture. It should be a package that comes up in Toronto.

>“We’re so excited to work with Zach on this,” said Michael Bloom, President of First Look Media. “It’s a subject that we’re close to, handled in a way that’s powerful and complex. And to be in the hands of producers Antoine Fuqua and Kat Samick and this talented cast, we’re sure we’re going to get a thrilling film.”

>Palmer Luckey, the creator of Facebook’s Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, is the secret backer of a pro-Donald Trump organisation aiming to turn the tide of the US election through “meme magic” and “shitposting”.

>The group, Nimble America, was publicly unveiled last week on r/The_Donald, the portion of social news site Reddit dedicated to supporting the Republican candidate. In its introduction to the world, now deleted, a moderator wrote “What we’ve been able to accomplish here has been amazing and much bigger than any of us and certainly much bigger than Reddit.

>“We’ve proven that shitposting is powerful and meme magic is real. So many of you have asked us, how we can bring this to real life.”

Black men who try to avoid an encounter with Boston police by fleeing may have a legitimate reason to do so — and should not be deemed suspicious — according to a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

Citing Boston police data and a 2014 report by the ACLU of Massachusetts that found blacks were disproportionately stopped by the city's police, the state’s highest court on Tuesday threw out the gun conviction of Jimmy Warren.

In its ruling, the court made two major findings: The justices said police didn’t have the right to stop Warren in the first place, and the fact that he ran away shouldn’t be used against him.
