Little Big Attack on Cyber-Jihad("Spiegel" on Freerepublic, jveritas work against Cyber-Jihad)

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".

I’m guessing he was joking; I thought his post was funny.

But thanks for posting, it would be good to see it translated.

Since July 19 we have recorded over 40 terrorist websites and forums that were shut down.

SolidWood, thank you so much for finding the article and taking the time to post it so that others may translate it for us.

Thank you, longjack, for your excellent translation! That certainly was worth the wait and the read.

Finally, thank you, jveritas, for your important work. You’re a great patriot.

At least it will be harder for jihadist to use the Internet if each time a known web site is created, it is shortly shut down.

Thanks for the translation, longjack. As one who speaks several languages and enjoys learning more, the German language is not one of them so I appreciate when someone takes the time to interpret for those not able to communicate in a foreign tongue.

Cheers!

Do you have a link where someone such as I can go to help? I would enjoy helping to shut those sites down!

Some people can’t see the forest for the trees. I say you did nothing wrong. We all know we’ve FReepers who speak and write German who can get the whole article translated. Some people are a little too eager to be as parochial as they can be, but in the real world, other people speak other languages. They should not become a scold just because of it.

Well, as most conservatives are a resourceful group of people, many of us saw the article in foreign language as an obstacle to overcome. Liberals are by far a lazy and helpless group, and when faced with an article in a foreign language would probably whine about it.

I didn't translate the title of the article correctly.

When I translated the article I didn't do the title until the very end, kind of as an afterthought.

Großangriff is the word for full-scale attack, and that's what I thought the word was.

Großangriffchen has a completely different meaning. The 'chen' suffix is a diminutive, and in this case is added on to a word, Großangriff, that normally wouldn't use any suffix.

In this context it means an atttempt at a full-scale attack that petered out, or that didn't have the effect it intended. The closest English equivalent I can think of is a 'less than powerfull full-scale attack.

The 'chen' suffix is used mostly in a satirical manner. For example, in a soccer game if an attacker lines up for an open shot or Schuß, but miskicks it into a dribbler, the announcer might say, "that wasn't a Schuß, it was a Schußchen."

The rest of the article didn't seem derogatory to me, so I would say the author's use of the word play Großangriffchen in the title refers to his opinion that size of the terrorist organization makes the web site undertaking futile, even if well-intentioned.

I'm sorry about that mistake, I shouldn't have missed it on the first translation.

I decided to work on the translation around doing other things here, and I didn't really read throughall the posts.

I find it hard to believe that some people were actually busting your chops for posting the article and trying to get a translation.

It's an important article.

First of all, jveritas made it onto a major European publication as the major player in a sucessful grass roots iniative and he deserves the recognition.

Secondly, the article presents FReepers as enthusiastic activists who are willing to work for a cause and are willing and thankful to be able to help out where they can.

That's why I feel this was an important article for the Freerepublic community and I think you deserve to be acknowledged for finding it and posting it.

So, that being said, thank you very much for posting the article and trying to get it translated.
