Islamist Campaign to Foster anti- U.S. Sentiment Using U.S. Web Forums

Special Dispatch-Jihad & Terrorism Studies Project March 20, 2007 No. 1508 . Islamist Website Instructs Mujahideen in Using Popular U.S. Web Forums to Foster Anti-War Sentiment among Americans . To view this Special Dispatch in HTML, visit: http://www.memri.org/bin/opener_latest.cgi?ID=SD150807 . . In the past few months, Islamists engaged in "media jihad" have increased their efforts to expose as broad a Western audience as possible to their jihad films, which purport to document the growing success of the mujahideen in Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of this endeavor, they have posted jihad films on popular free video-sharing websites such as YouTube, LiveLeak, and Google Video, hoping that such films will tip public opinion in the West against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan – thus pressuring Western governments to withdraw their troops from these countries. . As part of the campaign to foster anti-war sentiment among Westerners, and more specifically among Americans, a member of the Al-Mohajroon Islamist website with the username Al-Wathiq Billah instructed mujahideen in how to infiltrate popular American forums and to use them to distribute jihad films and spread disinformation about the war.

I think they've been doing it for awhile.

They've been doing it for a while from the looks of the DU and Kos.

I know it happens, occasionally I get even a flame here about a comment or an acronyn that most any averge person living in the US is aware of and this one person gets all personally upset, because they never heard of it.
And with the recent Hillary Utube video these analislamofascists are most definately going to use the internet's forums to sway our comments. Maybe here at FR we should have at the home page a blacklist of posters that have been found to be unacceptable? It may not be 100% efficient but its a start and sends a message.
