Großangriffchen auf den Cyber-Dschihad

Von Yassin Musharbash

Am 19. Juli rief "jveritas" im Internet dazu auf, von ihm identifizierte Pro-Terror-Websites auszuschalten. Seine Idee war simpel: Die Hostingfirmen mit massenhaften Beschwerde-Mails dazuzubringen, die Seiten zu sperren. Und sie funktionierte auch - ein bisschen.

Seit einem Monat herrscht im dschihadistischen Internet ein kleines Erdbeben. Ein knappes Dutzend prominenter Websites (so weit ich zählen kann) ist ihm bereits zum Opfer gefallen. Das Qaida-nahe Diskussionsforum "Das Paradies": bis auf weiteres geschlossen. Die Bekennerschreibenabwurfseite "Welt-Nachrichten-Netzwerk": eine Cyber-Ruine. Das Terroristen-Blog der englischsprachigen "Globalen Islamischen Medienfront": nicht mehr existent.

Abgeschaltetes Blog von Terrorsympathisanten: Unter neuer Adresse schon wieder auferstanden Großbildansicht

Abgeschaltetes Blog von Terrorsympathisanten: Unter neuer Adresse schon wieder auferstanden Angefangen hat das Massensterben in der zweiten Julihälfte. Ein gewisser "jveritas" löste es mit einem Aufruf auf freerepublic.com aus, einem Treffpunkt von Internetaktivisten, News-Junkies und, wie es scheint, stramm bis rechts-konservativen US-Patrioten. "Wir sollten versuchen, jede bekannte Terroristen-Website auszuschalten, um eine schockierende Nachricht an die islamischen Terroristen zu senden und ihnen einen psychologischen Schlag beizubringen", schlug "jveritas" vor.

Gesagt, getan - schließlich war die Methode, die "jveritas" sich überlegt hatte, denkbar einfach: Weil viele dieser Webseiten von US-amerikanischen Firmen gehostet werden, sollten seine Mitstreiter sich dort beschweren. Zu diesem Zweck veröffentlichte er eine Liste mit URLs von Pro-Dschihad-Websites, dazu gehörigen IP-Adressen und den Adressen der Provider beziehungsweise Hoster. "Jveritas" formulierte sogar Beschwerde-Mails vor. Er fand schnell viele Helfer, die sich beglückt äußerten, selbst endlich einmal etwas gegen Terroristen tun zu können. Das Forum, in dem sie sich austauschen, umfasst mittlerweile 143 Seiten. Nach wenigen Tagen gab es erste Erfolgsmeldungen: "Gute Arbeit! Eine weitere Seite geschlossen!", hieß es etwa am 20. Juli über "Das Paradies".

Fish Hawk speaks for 99 percent of those here is all.

It you think that is true, then you have a case to report this thread to the Admin Moderator.

Why don’t you do that and stop with the tantrum?

[sam_paine]

Solidwood, please ignore the fools who reprimanded you for adding content to the site.

Thanks for bringing our attention to it before you did (or could) translate it.

The way Freerepublic works is that it brings articles such as this to the fore so that people can comment on it.

Much better to have a pro-FR german post than another anti-FR english post about something BOR said!

I'd much rather see things like this logged immediately, subsequently translated down-thread, than for you to delay putting it up.

Three cheers for Solidwood. Two jeers for fish and bubbalon.

[Calpernia]

Big bump.

[BlueDragon]

Looks like you've covered the main issues very well. Good work. It will help others who may later browse through this thread.

[Calpernia]

I’ve seen Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, Polish, Russian and Italian posted here at FR.

Someone always manages to translate them.

I don’t know why this is being trolled.

[sam_paine]

Fish. Calm down.

You are at a disadvantage because you cannot understand german....that’s your problem.

I know enough german to at least be able to skim this, but not enough to fully translate it.

Thus, I’m glad solidwood put it up.

If you don’t like it, move...along....

[Calpernia]

LongJack gave us a nice cliff note too.

[sam_paine]

Like I said, I'd rather see a pro-FR German article posted than a full-Enlgish anti-FR article from Bill Oreilly.

Why not ban all of the science/tech threads which are also beyond the comprehension of some?

[Calpernia]

Then we can start on the legal doc type threads. Who here really speaks lawyer?

:)

[Hot Tabasco]

Check it out! The article is in German.

I'll just bookmark it for later........much later if I ever decide to learn German.

My computer keyboard only has so many "click on's" and to think I just wasted one.

[SolidWood]

Thanks for your replies.

jveritas deserves our gratitude and I’m glad he finally got some media recoginiton (although rather ambiguous from an leftist German magazine) for his tremendous work.

[Vinnie]

Vinnie is a 1%er.
If you don’t like the thread, move on. That’s what I do.

[fish hawk]

It’s ironic to me that those who would tell Hispanics to either speak English or go home don’t hold the same rules for other ethnic groups. I wonder that if this thread had been in Spanish what the reaction would be.

[MizSterious]

"I don’t know why this is being trolled."

I tend to think that when a good article is being trolled like this one is, it's because someone doesn't like it when the truth gets out. I kind of like the truth myself, though, so I'm glad it was posted, and subsequently translated.

[fish hawk]

see post 54

[sam_paine]

First rule when you’re digging a hole....stop digging.

Try it. Yer making yourself look positively foolish.

[fish hawk]

By the feedback I am getting maybe I was wrong. Maybe the one quarter of one percent I claimed should have been one half of one percent.

[MizSterious]

Most people who are speaking Spanish in our stores, on our streets, or in our schools are not saying anything of particular interest to the public in general—THIS article, however, is. Plus, I’ve seen some articles posted here in Spanish, often alongside a translation, and I’ve not seen anyone whine to the degree you have.

Use the little red “x” box on the top of the window. It will close this thread down, and you can move on to something more to your liking—perhaps there’s a nice article in English about the latest adventures of Paris Hilton.

[Calpernia]

The article is in it’s native language from it’s native country’s publication. That is what makes the internet so wonderful.

Now, if it was in a language other than English in a USA publication such as USA Today, then you would have sympathies for your complaints.
