SNIPPET: "The site's contents included three graphic videos:
— A so-called "martyr" statement from a soon-to-be homicide bomber;"
SNIPPET: "Facebook Jihadist Group Gets Shut Down
"Maybe the day will come when one of the martyrs is asked [by Allah] who urged you to Jihad, so he answers saying: a message came to me from Facebook asking me to support the Mujihadeen. The message impacted me therefore I went to Jihad to destroy the places of the cross worshippers.""
SNIPPET: "To protect identities, members of Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra were told to use fake names and new e-mail accounts to avoid detection. Most of the discussions were carried out in Arabic, and there was an explicit appeal made for members who speak English, in order to help with English-language propaganda.
It was unclear how many members were based in the United States, although several members claimed to be Americans. According FOXNews.com's source who regularly monitored the group's discussions throughout the week, at least several of the members appeared to be American because of their writing style.
On Monday, the group announced on Facebook that it had created a formal structure of seven "battalions," responsible for duties ranging from spreading religious materials to military knowledge."

Islam in America Series: Internet Jihad

During the Islamic terror attack in Mumbai, India last year, tech-savvy terrorists used BlackBerries and Google Earth satellite-imaging to plan and carry out their atrocities. Once again, the West’s enemies were employing 21st century technology to spread its dangerous 8th century ideology. Since September 11, 2001, experts have been increasingly concerned about the rapid growth of the “internet jihad.” The SITE Intelligence Group monitors YouTube, which has become a favorite platform for the disseminate Islamist propaganda and terrorist how-to videos. For example, a password-protected forum run by Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra (”Knights in Support of the Invasion”) offered step-by-step instructions to radical Muslim sympathizers on how to post videos to YouTube. The same radical group has called for an “invasion of Facebook”, the hugely popular social networking site.

“Jihadi Campaign to Invade Facebook”
SNIPPET: “Last week on the password-protected jihadist forum Faloja, Umar Abd al-Hakim (aka Omar Abdul Hakim) posted an outline of a campaign to invade Facebook by jihadi propagandists.
Called “Ghazwat al-Nusra2” (Aid Invasion2), the campaign is compartmentalized and hierarchical. See the disturbing outline below the fold.”
SNIPPET: “Umer also explains how to sign up for Facebook and describes the organization of the campaign. Seven brigades comprise the effort, each with a commander.
1. Sharia Brigade: spreads Salafi-Jiahdi doctrine and responding to doubts planted by erring people to misguide Muslim youth. It will distribute articles and audio messages from Salafi-Jihadi scholars.
2. Media and Planning Brigade: distributes Jihadi media files and incitement plans
3. Statements Brigade: posts Jihadi statements
4. Preparation Brigade: distributes military training material
5. Security Brigade: distributes security info required for Jihadi media and also security courses
6. English Media Brigade: posts Jihadi media and statements in English
7. Martyrs and Prisoners Brigade: distributes bios, writings, and videos of martyrs. Also material on prisoners. [sic all]
Each week, brigade commanders will prepare a written report to the leadership council which will then prepare a report on the campaign’s progress.
Thanks to an anonymous tipster.

“Invading Facebook: Theory And Practice” December 17th, 2008 | Jihadi media, propaganda
SNIPPET: “That’s the title of a post last week by Faloja member `Umar `Abd al-Hakim in Syria. `Umar believes that Jihadis have successfully penetrated Youtube and it’s now time to more directly market their materials to the masses. To this end, he gives an overview of Facebook and why it will be useful for Jihadi propagandists. To get the ball rolling, `Umar and others announced a campaign yesterday, “Aid Invasion2” (Ghazwat al-Nusra2). Below is a summary of `Umar’s introductory post, followed by the announcement of the campaign.
Note that the Facebook invaders believe the propaganda front is outside of the Jihadi forums, a point I have made repeatedly. Moreover, this is not an attempt to replicate the social networks that exist on the forums; the members of the campaign want to exploit existing networks of people who are hostile to them and presumably they will adopt new identities once they have posted their material. Additionally, `Umar believes this is a solution to the recent closure of prominent Jihadi forums and channels of media distribution. Finally, the structure of the Nusra2 campaign organization is interesting: compartmentalized and hierarchical.`Umar’s “Raiding Facebook: Theory and Practice”:”
SNIPPET: “I’ve called this campaign “Ghazwat al-Nusra2” (Aid Invasion2) because we are aiding our brothers on the forums: Hesbah, Firdaws, Boraq, and Ekhlaas.”
