YouTube: A terrorist's dissemination and recruiting tool

YouTube ^

[StarCMC]

In the last post I put up, I showed you how the terrorists use the videos that they post at YouTube.  Now I'd like to show you what some of those videos are about.  I was surfing around terrorist websites and found this gem.  The site is Ansar al-Mujahideen, which is a website for the Mujahideen terrorists (as you might suspect from their name.)   Here are some screen caps of the page, with an anonymized link.  This video is produced by As-Sahab, the media wing of Al Qaeda.  Their logo is plainly visible in the lower right corner of the screen.

 

There are many, many places that these videos can be downloaded.  The idea is that people will download them and then upload them again to places like YouTube and LiveLeak.





The translation/description of the video is peppered with screen shots of the video, and the whole thing is available here on youtube.  As you can see, the full translation in English is right on the video itself.

 If you look over in the sidebar to the right of the video, you will notice that this full video is five segments long - which is most likely due to youtube's time restraint of 10 minutes per video.  

Each of the segments discuss martyrdom and some specific martyrs. 

If you skip to the 5th in the series this is the second scene:

The words on the screen are "Oh Allah, grant us martyrdom in this life and in death."  As these are gun-toting jihadi terrorists, there is little doubt as to what this might mean (unless of course you're the teleprompter in chief.)  In another scene the words are "Oh Allah, amplify your benevolence and your greatness on us by blessing us with martyrdom."

The video goes on to show the site of some hirabist's "martyrdom" (or in other words "jumping off point to hell.")  

At 1:59, we are treated to an imam calling for doctors to answer the call of jihad and go to the front lines to help heal the wounded Muj.  At 2:32 he says "oh healers of the Ummah, Advance! and remain in the state of readiness to fulfill the obligations!"

 

Back over at Ansarnet there's this post, at the end of the thread with the download links and descriptions:

I guess someone answered the call.

There is no doubt that this series of five videos has no other reason to exist other than to encourage the faithful terrorists and to draw more to their cause.  Is this not inciting violence, which is against YouTube's terms of service?  Why then do these videos stay on you tube's servers?

Why don’t you go after the terrorists and quit beating up on Youtube?

I just watched that 1st 10 minute video.

These people are so unlike us. They have no respect for life and their skills at propaganda are seriously lacking. How dare they show images of wounded even as they promote the indiscriminate slaughtering of civilians?

Their rhetoric is targeted toward the uneducated imbeciles that embrace “Jihad” because their own leaders have relegated them to miserable lives of squalor.

We are obliged to our children and theirs to deal with this vileness. Washington is too weak. They have lost touch with the concerns of their real employers.

I am so very disturbed at this garbage. You Tube seems to have no sense of what is proper in a civilized Society.

He is chucklehead. This is just one of the many steps we are taking to fight the terrorists.

If you're not part of the solution then you are part of the problem.

There are folks doing that too (see the Jawa Report here: http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/) but my focus is on how YouTube helps the terrorists. They ask for people to flag offensive (meaning against the posted Terms of Service) videos and then ignore the flags. The terrorists are using YouTube, a U.S. company, to distribute their propaganda and recruiting videos for free in order to gain more support for their cause - which I know you know is killing our soldiers and citizens. It’s against executive orders to give help to terrorist organizations — even if they are free. YouTube has an obligation to better police the people who are using it.

WOW.. Their Lies and Propaganda exceed those of the Liberals in this Country..

Pray for the Useful Idiots to wake up.

BTW.. Why is Jihad Recruiting allowed on YouTube? Oh, Never mind.

[StarCMC]

There is a video that has photos of one of our downed pilot’s body that’s been up for a very long time, and been flagged many, many times. If YouTube’s reason for leaving it up had anything to do with intelligence gathering (as some have suggested) it would be a very simple thing to copy the video, send it to the FBI, CIA, whatever, and then remove it from public view.

[StarCMC]

Eh - I love humblegunner. One of the Texas crew that makes me laugh. :-)

[StarCMC]

HA! Rhetorical question of the ages.

[humblegunner]

my focus is on how YouTube helps the terrorists.

They send crap through the postal system too.

Where is your outrage?

[StarCMC]

Maybe that can be your job! Are ya in?

[divine_moment_of_facts]

I flagged it.. ‘Inciting Hate and Violence” against “Religion” and “Is a terrorist recruitment tool.”.

[StarCMC]

It’ll be interesting to see if it goes down.

Look who is a friend of this YouTube jihadist.. jihadnow2 (Hasan).

[StarCMC]

Oh yeah - and believe me, you can spend a LOT of time looking through that stuff. Crazy.

[humblegunner]

Maybe that can be your job! Are ya in?

No, thanks.

I gave up tilting at windmills long ago.

I like Youtube, I find it to be an awesome free service.

Sure there are some ratbags that use it. Ratbags also buy groceries, ride the bus and mail letters.

This is not a reason to attack the stores, the transport systems or the mail.

This is not a reason to attack the stores, the transport systems or the mail.

In this particular case, I disagree. FRegards.
