Muslim YouTube Club Targets Anti-Terrorist Videos and Users
Suffice it to say that two can play this game.
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/185584.php:
Muslims have set up a group called Oul-Al-Albab/Oul-Al-Absar at YouTube that targets videos and users critical of Islamist violence. YouTube's poorly thought out flagging procedures encourage dishonest users to lie about content in order to suppress videos with which they disagree. YouTube has refused to change the system, despite numerous complaints from users that certain groups, particularly those sympathetic to Islamic terrorism, are abusing it (screen captures).
The group members share information about YouTube users who create anti-Islamist terrorist videos and instruct members to flag the videos and users as "inappropriate," often getting the videos and/or users banned.
Here, a user instructs a fellow Muslim about how to game the YouTube system to censor anti-terrorist videos:
jafour3 (1 week ago)
You can give them only 1 star and click on "Flag unappropriate" and choose "Hate Speech".. You can find it under each video you watch.
"jafour3" lists his home as Palestine. While the group includes 251 members from all over the world, most seem to live in Canada and the United States.
Thanks to YouTube user InfidelAndProud for tipping me to this group. InfidelAndProud credits fellow YouTuber infidel4life with discovering the group.

Report by Annette Ramelsberger: "On the Trail of Terror Networks on the Internet"
Sueddeutsche Zeitung
Tuesday, December 5, 2006 T12:12:03Z
Document Type: OSC Translated Text:
A new special unit of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution wants to uncover attack plans on the Internet In Germany too there is the danger that young Muslims who grew up here and are obviously well-integrated could commit attacks. "There was such a group in the Netherlands, there are such findings in Canada especially," warns the president of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (OPC), Heinz Fromm. "We are not free of such developments." The security authorities especially have "substantial concerns," Fromm said, after a group of young Turks evidently planned an attack in the summer on a concert of the singer Nena in Gelsenkirchen. The search is under way to see if there are similar plans elsewhere in Germany.
At the annual symposium of the OPC in Berlin, agency experts explained that the terror organization Al-Qa'ida is now deliberately trying to reach Muslims in the West, especially young men of the second and third generation of immigrants and German converts. The terror organizations exploit the cultural conflicts and alienation of these people, and do so in a very sophisticated manner: They use the old Arab oral traditions but increasingly put individual hero figures in the center of their propaganda videos, individual heroes that do not exist in the Arab world but appeal to men socialized in the West. Young Muslims now send each other e-mails with leads to particularly interesting Internet sites, and much is already going through mouth-to-mouth propaganda, Fromm said. "You can hardly prevent that, even if you can observe it."
The German Government is now making an effort to track terror plans on the Internet. Starting in January, an Internet unit will work at the terror defense center in Berlin that Fromm says will collect the research of the various agencies and avoid duplication. "We will obtain an improved output and be better able to assess the danger situation." However, Internet research does not protect Germany from attacks like the attempted suitcase bomb explosions in Cologne and Koblenz, said OPC Vice President Elmar Remberg: "It will still be a great challenge to uncover such plans quickly."
The security authorities are already preparing for the G8 summit at Heiligendamm on the Baltic Sea. Extensive barriers are planned to prevent possible attacks by Islamists. But the OPC also observes preparations from an entirely different side: There is a strong mobilization push among leftist militants, Fromm said. Globalization opponents have already carried out repeated attacks, but thus far only on property, not people.
There are also surprising alliances surrounding the G8 summit. The extreme right-wing NPD (National Democratic Party) is also preparing actions here. The protest against the dominance of the United States obviously unites all opponents, but the globalization protest is only attractive to the NPD members. The simple supporters are more drawn to other activities like citizens' offices, OPC sources report.
