“Jihadis Counter ‘Censorship’ of Islamic State of Iraq”
By Abdul Hameed Bakier
(June 3, 2008)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “To break Western media obstruction, Imran instructs forum members to upload video clips from al-Furqan (The Criterion—a jihadi media outlet named for the 25th sura of the Quran) to forums and scientific websites after renaming them to conceal their jihadi nature. Several names are proposed for these clips, such as “To my virtuous shaykh,” or “Urgent—a matter of life and death.” Naming the clips after prominent Islamic figures and posting them to websites is another method that would deceive web users into downloading and watching them. Forum members should form a media front specialized in disseminating jihadi video clips to religious scholars, anti-jihad Islamic websites and all Iraqi websites regardless of their inclinations, whether Islamist or nationalist, according to Imran. Further methods include making CD copies of the clips and distributing them in mosques and libraries while making sure that the clips do not contain negative remarks about the anti-jihad Islamic ideologues as that would alienate their followers from the message. Reiterating the crucial need to break the media blockade, Imran says: “Muslims ignorant of jihadi operations make it easy for Americans to appoint pro-American religious authorities. America’s defeat in Iraq means erasing its presence in the whole Arab Gulf, [with America] consequently losing access to Gulf oil, its lifeline artery.”

Another forum chatter suggests targeting Syrian websites and all the forums and chat rooms of hot area countries such as Somalia, Algeria, Lebanon and Palestine. A forum chatter nicknamed Harqoos posted the email addresses of over 25 Islamic religious scholars.”
