The fact is Islamist Website Instructs Mujahideen in Using Popular U.S. Web Forums to Foster Anti-War Sentiment among Americans . Read the whole thing and then please place your comments , here is the link incase you want to get it from the source - http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=sd&ID=SP150807

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.

The following are excerpts: [1]

"Raiding American Forums is Among the Most Important Means of Obtaining Victory in the Fierce Media War… and of Influencing the Views of the Weak-Minded American"

"There is no doubt, my brothers, that raiding American forums is among the most important means of obtaining victory in the fierce media war... and of influencing the views of the weak-minded American who pays his taxes so they will go to the infidel American army. This American is an idiot and does not [even] know where Iraq is... [It is therefore] mandatory for every electronic mujahid [to engage in this raiding]."

"It is better that you raid non-political forums such as music forums and trivia forums... which American people... favor... Define your target[ed forum]... and get to know it well... Post your contribution and do not get into... futile arguments..."


Indicate You Are an American

"Obviously, you have to register yourself using a purely American name... Choose an icon that indicates that you are an American, and place it next to your nickname [in the forum]."

"In my experience, the areas most visited in American forums... [are titled] 'Random Thoughts' and 'What's going on in your mind?'... [The former] takes priority in the American forums, and is highly popular. You should post your contribution there... This should include films of the mujahideen in Iraq, mujahideen publications in English, and images and films of the Americans' crimes, [such as] killing unarmed civilians in Iraq... etc."


"Invent Stories About American Soldiers You Have [Allegedly] Personally Known"

"Obviously, you should post your contribution... as an American... You should correspond with visitors to this forum, [bringing to their attention] the frustrating situation of their troops in Iraq... You should invent stories about American soldiers you have [allegedly] personally known (as classmates... or members in a club who played baseball and tennis with you) who were drafted to Iraq and then committed suicide while in service by hanging or shooting themselves..."

"Also, write using a sad tone, and tell them that you feel sorry for your [female] neighbor or co-worker who became addicted to alcohol or drugs... because her poor fiancé, a former soldier in Iraq, was paralyzed or [because] his legs were amputated... [Use any story] which will break their spirits, oh brave fighter for the sake of God..."


How to Make Americans Feel Frustrated With Their Government

"You should enter into debate or respond only if it is extremely necessary... Your concern should [only] be introducing topics which... will cause [them to feel] frustration and anger towards their government..., which will... render them hostile to Bush... and his Republican Party and make them feel they must vote ton bring the troops back from Iraq as soon as possible."

"Do not... discuss issues pertaining to Arabs or Muslims at all, whether negatively or positively... because this could be a trap for you... In addition, do not ask people to circulate the material [you have posted] in other forums... as these types of requests will expose you..."

Any comments ?

They don't care. It's not a serious war for them. Look around this site: it's not a war, it's "Bush's Folly".

Nothing's sacred to liberals. The only thing that matters is their power.

They are right about the Americans not knowing where Iraq was. As a research project for school, I went to an anti war protest and found out that only 3 in 10 could find Iraq on a map in less than 30 seconds. Kinda pathetic how passionate they were about something they knew nothing about. Don't worry, people like me would never be swayed by this kind of crap

MEMRI is a 501(c) organization like Move-On and Christian Coalition. I would take anything they say with a grain of salt as they have an agenda to push.

Interestingly enough, the link on their page to the "news" story doesn't work. A Yahoo search for the article mentioned in their story had a bunch of dead links. Makes you wonder about the accuracy.

They've been all over the internet for a while now with their jihad crusade even Amadinejad has made pleas with the American youth on the internet. Its just another border for them to cross which they have used very successfully in their favor. Secure our borders even the internet borders!

Plus they know what is going on inside America. They know that Bush has a 30% approval rating. They know that the majority of Americans disagree with Bushs handling of the war. So you can lay a lot of the problem at the white house doorsteps.
What was that domestic spying thing about?
Us or Them

Good Stuff, Partner! I echo the fear that everyone has in this Panel. It's further proof that we need to rally Troop-America. And show up at the Polls and vote what's right for America! Have a Great Weekend.

I've been aware of this for several days and have often wondered what they must think of the bickering and fighting we do. I imagine that they're laughing their heads off at us.

There's little doubt that every one of these forums are being well monitored by these sickos.

I think there is certainly some truth to this concern.

I think though, that what they will really see, if exposed to sites like this, at all, is that we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

They don't. The notion that we must curb our freedom of expression because they will use it to strengthen their negative opinion of Americans is as ridiculous as the notion of the Liberals, that we should be appeasing terrorists.

Please, The American people became very anti-iraq war before any of this. And, we've become frustrated with Bush long before any of this alleged propaganda. I think the actions of Bush and his administration is testimony enough and is action enough to frustrate the american people. I think these muslims are kind of stupid if they think they can influence the American people on these forums. Most of these Americans have their mind made up one way or the other by this time.

I think you've contributed some of the most important information that everyone needs to see and read!! I hope you post this more than once!

I think that is ridiculous, the grip on the media is overwhelmingly pro-state. There's no way of knowing if someone is a terrorist or if they are a CIA agent, which is almost always the same thing anyway
