Social Networks & The Online Jihad
World Threats.com ^ | October 26, 2011 | Posted by Candice Lanier

SNIPPET: "In July, the British government warned that Al Qaeda’s exploitation of social networking websites is on the rise."

SNIPPET: "The massive and multifarious network of websites and social media has presented a challenge to authorities in trying to combat it. Additionally, civil liberty concerns have conflicted with government efforts to spy on communications.

Reducing terrorist activity on social media sites has been particularly difficult because users have adopted new forms of communication to conform with the new formats. Many Arabic speakers on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other sites use Arabizi, a form of colloquial Arabic written in the Latin alphabet and numbers. This allows the use of a standard English-language keyboard for typing messages. There exists, however, no standard version of Arabizi. It varies from country to country, even among groups within countries and is affected by differences in dialect."

shuratulmujahideen.blogspot.com/2011/11/they-desire-to-put-out-light-of-allah.html

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2011

SNIPPET: “After the arrest of our brother Muhammad Yusuf, who is also known as Jose Pimentel, for allegedly planning to set bombs off in New York and recruiting other brothers to do the same, of which is all lies aimed at scaring Muslims from using the internet and social networks for speaking the truth, Joseph Lieberman sent a letter to google calling on them to put in measures to restrict those who support the Mujahideen in using blogger as a platform to speak the truth.”

SNIPPET: “Due to America’s useless bureaucracies often its only until they receive a hard smack in the face do they realize they have any enemies. Often their only help comes from Jewish vigilantes such as the likes of forum.internet-haganah.com. The members of this forum spy on supporters of the mujahideen and collect information about them and their activities and give it to their governments who then make the arrests. I have found some of the blogs where they discuss their recent activities and share information between themselves.”

SNIPPET: “Their blogs and forums are open and as they keep an eye on us so should we keep an eye on them. Anyone who visits their site should use tor or any other software that hides ip adresses. If anyone can infiltrate their forum and gain their trust and in doing so gain information on them and expose it, they should do so. I understand this might be difficult but simply by saying this, if Allah wills, mistrust and suspicion for each other may enter their hearts. When they gather information on the supporters of the mujahideen, be it about their youtube channels and friends, blogger profiles and blogs or their facebook accounts, they share it among themselves by posting it on their forum (forum.internet-haganah.com). If any brother or sister is to come across this, make sure that you inform those who are being spied on so they may delete their accounts and start up new ones or at least so they may be more cautious.

It is expected that there will be some symbolic changes made by google after Joseph Lieberman’s request. It is quite possible that as they have been deleting videos of the mujahideen on youtube they will start deleting blogs that support the mujahideen. If that is their intentions then they have allot of work to do. I have noticed that youtube have recently slowed down in deleting Mujahideen Media videos as there is just too many to delete. My advice to the brothers and sisters is to spread the media of the Mujahideen as fast and as far as possible taking advantage of all social networks including blogger, youtube, twitter, wordpress and paltalk. Finally and most importantly make dua for our brothers and sisters who are kept locked up in the prisons of the kufaar around the world, may Allah help them to escape.
