Obviously trolling has been around since the foundation of the internet, but perhaps some newer trolls have a political objective in mind.

Islamist Website Instructs Mujahideen in Using Popular U.S. Web Forums
Islamist Website Instructs Mujahideen in Using Popular U.S. Web Forums to Foster Anti-War Sentiment among Americans

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..."

They think I'm pissed at my government, then they wouldn't believe how pissed I am at them. Sons a B****es. :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:
 
And that releates to this how?
Legal and Political: Get informed on issues affecting the right to keep and bear arms and other civil rights. Coordinate activism, debate with allies and opponents. Discuss laws concerning firearm ownership, concealed carry and self-defense.

Better suited to Armed Polite Society I think, and indeed already under discussion there. ;)

..

It pertains to this forum because the article is about this forum. It says people are being trained to spread discontentment on forums that aren't deliberately political, and to do so in most busy sections where people discuss popular topics.

It's all the fault of George W. Bush, the Republican Party, and Israel. Things are getting better now and will be all right real soon.
 
Frankly, I don't think they can do anything our domestic "America sux" crowd hasn't been doing quite successfully without their help for the last forty-odd years, but it's nice to know they're trying I guess.
 
Next time I criticize the war, I can't wait for someone to call me a "jihadist". It has so much more pizazz than "traitor". :p
 
how convenient that they communicate with each other in English

ya wanna maybe check the links?

"mohajroon.com" ain't in English.

memri.org is an organziation specifically devoted to translating stuff coming out of the middle east, radical/militant stuff in particular.

self-edited for some non-High Road comments. Sorry Scandinavian. :eek:

Good point :)

Edited to add - your apology is unneccesary, you made a valid point. :eek:

Heh - It would be a boring world if we were all perfect wouldn't it? :)

The Only thing they are Succeeding in doing is making their own Religion look bad with such Fanaticism.

Not to Say that members of other Religions can't do the same, because they quite often do.

Before you ask, Yes I am a religious person, I am simply pointing out what some prefer to ignore.

If you ask me, if the Muslim Religion wants a good way to show they do not support nor agree with these Fanatics,
they should simply publicly expel them from the Religion, It may sound harsh to some, but has the proper effect,
it is both a lesson to the public that these types are nither tolerated or supported, and a lesson to the few of the
nut-jobs who still have the ability to listen (it will cast doubts), and will cause the whole group of Fanatics to crumble from within.
 
How exactly is one expelled from a religion?

" You there Mustaffah, you are no longer permitted to believe in my god!"

Just curious.
 
Guys, this just means we need to keep something in mind.

The internet is largely lacking in peer review. It has very few checks and balances.

The next time you see someone vehemently trashing something, and you don't know someone who knows them face to face, you've gotta ask yourself if they may be trying to sway you politically in a direction that you ordinarily wouldn't go.

These folks are NOT stupid. Heck, we sent a lot of them to some very good schools. And due to the international nature of the internet, they're right next door.

It's been going on a while. For the past few months, I've seen a very distinct rise in the "Anyone but a Republican" and "Out of the Middle East NOW" type of posts... A rise far above the CNN-type poll numbers would indicate.

These folks may sound intelligent. That's because they are. They may sound reasonable - that's because they're trying to gently steer you. But they DO NOT have your best interests in mind.

Then tell me who does?

Please don't say either the Democrats or the republicans.

And Bogie, I'm a little shy on electrolytes, so from now on, does any one who disagrees with you get labeled a terrorist?:evil:
 
If you're interested in the source of that portion of my sig, check out the movie Idiocracy.

I'm not a blind follower. And I tend to vote "lesser of two evils" more often than not.

But when someone consistently tells me that someone who is 90% against me is better than someone who is 90% for me, I start to get a little nervous.

Well, the thread's already closed so why not. The reason you won't see what you suggest is because the Fanatics are at the top, and the nature of the religion (nay all religions) is not conducive to questioning. As a matter of fact that's a strong sin, to question the Mullah. And to make matters worse, when the radicals take over a country they pass laws making it illegal for you NOT to go to prayer - so you are forced, by law, to go to the brainwashing sessions and not allowed to question anything. That's why the moderates have to flee their countries and go to the west.

Right now there specifically is the divide in the religion you speak of, but the battleground is in the West - the moderates in our countries are challenging the radicals which infiltrated their mosques. In my city a Muslim professor from my college became outraged when a radical mullah decided to use a funeral service as an attempt to expound on why they should hate the west. The professor got mad and questioned him publicly, called him a welfare bum, and now is banned from all mosques in the city.
