I've been waiting for this news story to turn up on the Internet at the very least in print form so I could link people to it:

Terrorists Take Recruitment Efforts Online (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/02/60minutes/main2531546.shtml)

And in case you want to cry "liberal bias" as a reflex, Little Green Footballs posted a link to it as well without any such comments:

http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=24701&only&rsssmall

And here's the one passage I found most interesting, perhaps one that everyone should take note of:

In Britain, authorities say Web sites create terrorists at home. Ulph says the approach to a new recruit goes like this. "They throw a bomb into his mental universe. They throw a bomb into it and then and shatter it. And, then say, 'Right. Here's how we're going to reassemble these fragments,'" Ulph explains.

"You're not a proper Muslim, but here's how you can be a proper Muslim?" Pelley asks.

"That's how they argue it. And, they say, 'And, you're not a proper Muslim, nor are your parents.' Very important implication there. If your parents aren't proper Muslims, if the sheik of a mosque isn't a proper Muslim, what are you doing obeying them?" Ulph agrees.

Asked what they're told a proper Muslim is, Ulph says, "Well, once they've softened him up and he's now in freefall, they say, 'This is your identity. We're gonna put the "j" back into Islam. It's jihad.'"

This points out that the online jihadi recruiters make it a point to use the True Scotsman Fallacy on impressionable targets, claiming that Proper Muslims wage jihad and kill as many of the infidels and enemies as possible.

Which made realize: By constantly demonizing all Muslims as "barbaric," "savage," "3b1l," etc. etc. people with attitudes on Muslims similar to those shared by New Mitanni, Eve "I Swear I'm Not Deep Kimchi" Online and F1 Insanity are basically making it easier for the recruiters to brainwash the undecided Muslim youth into becoming future suicide bombers. Self-fulfilling prophecy, not to mention instilling a "If I'm going to be treated like a terrorist I well as might be one" mentality.

Wouldn't that fall under "providing support" to the terrorists?

I have always maintained there are 'moderate' muslims, probably some 99,5% of them

but the 0,5% that are radical are loud, vociferous and willing to act, and often in control through intimidation.

You mentioned my screen name and stated that people like me make it easier for 'undecided Muslim youth' to become suicide bombers.

I reject that accusation. It can be compared to blaming Churchill for the holocaust because he never said a nice thing about mr Hitler.

Even in Nazism, the overwhelming majority were not radical nor predisposed to kill. But the tiny minority that did want to kill and ethnic cleanse, they were in charge. Because the silent majority let them. Because the majority was intimidated into silence.

I see it happening all over again. People are intimidated into not saying anything bad about islam (sometimes thats the very people who for decades said plenty of bad things about certain other 'religions'). Radical islam gets all riled up about a few cartoons (a dozen friggin cartoons!). They have no sense of humor and expect us to cater to their sensitivities all the time. Well I refuse. I am not into imaginary deities like 'Allah'.

And radical islam and Nazism have a common enemy, and between 1941 and 1945 a common history. It may not concern the majority of muslims, but it sure does concern islam. After all, we're not gonna say nice things about nazism just because the majority of Germans didn't kill a jew during WW II?

No, but we will not say that all Germans are scum and deserve to be deported. If you think that not saying Islam is evil or a cult is akin to allowing the Nazis to commit the Holocaust, your nuts. We have invaded a country to destroy islamists, we are fighting a war to destroy Islamists, we are doing plenty against Islamists. What isn't helping are nutjobs like you alienating all the normal Muslims and stirring up a hatred for Western nations among them, you are actively providing Islamists with recruits for their insane jihad.

First, why are you comparing ISLAM with the nazi's? The way you put it there made me believe you think all muslims are evil twisted suicidebombers.

Keeping quiet sure isn't going to help in a situation like this. And although standing up to those radical muslims isn't probably the best thing to do, it sure is better than allowing them to continue like they allowed* the nazi's.

I don't buy that aregument at all. The indoc takes place online and in the mosques.

What the mosques tell them to think isn't coming from me. And I don't demonize those who aren't radical Islamists (in particular, Salafists).

So your strawman argument dissipates in thin air.

LGF posted it just to show you how they think and plan - and how we should be aware of the fact that recruitment is in the open.

The Nazis could've been stopped with little effort in 1935 or 1936. In 1939 that was no longer the case. The idea is, to stop them before they get too powerful.

If Islam is the problem according to you, then you're flip-flopping on claiming you acknowledge the existence of moderates.

Finally, here's something from a different thread:

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12437118&postcount=28

Nope, nothing from you prior to this waddling, waffling backpedal that says "There are moderate Muslims."

:rolleyes:

How come the "If They Don't Condemn It They Condone It" False Dilemma can be legitimately applied to Muslims, but it's wrong when I try to apply it to someone who actively alienates and pushes moderates to join the extremists?

I see it happening all over again. People are intimidated into not saying anything bad about islam (sometimes thats the very people who for decades said plenty of bad things about certain other 'religions').

Funny, because nobody with a balanced perspective says Islam is perfect. Oh, and Allah is the same Abrahamic God that Jews and Christians worship, so does that make Him imaginary to you?

And radical islam and Nazism have a common enemy, and between 1941 and 1945 a common history. It may not concern the majority of muslims, but it sure does concern islam. After all, we're not gonna say nice things about nazism just because the majority of Germans didn't kill a jew during WW II?

Yet there hasn't been any "Germans = Nazi" thread floating around in NSG recently has there? Nope. And as Pyotr pointed out, intelligent people know better than to lump in the whole barrel with a few rotten apples. Again your posting history is the kind of mindless rhetoric that gives the jihadis "We Told You So" material to help them recruit more martyrs.

And it seems to me we're allready too late to stop a jihad from happening. We've got some serious troubles going on around the globe, and if we don't act in time, it's WWII all over again (only they'll call it WWIII then :p ).

Very true, but simply sitting around bashing Islam and stereotyping Muslims isn't going to do a damn thing.

*I have to contradict myself here, "they" didn't allow the nazi's to continue their actions, what do you think WWII was about in the first place?

WWII was about two insane, agressive regimes in control of one state in Europe and another of an Island state in the pacific. These two states were stopped by a force of allied nations. Comparing our present conflict with that of WWII is just nonsensical. The radical Islamists have no state, they have no standing army, they have no unified leader. The two wars are completely different.

First of all, in all those examples I mentioned islam, not muslims.

Second, Allah is NOT the same as God or Yahweh. Allah is the invention of Muhammad who liberally copied and twisted bible and torah stories. Allah isn't the same as God just because some 6th/7th century psycho said so. And Muhammad declared himself the final prophet, thats mighty convenient isnt it? And every time he and his fellow travelers went and killed a bunch of people and raped the women and sold the kids into slavery, Muhammad had a 'vision' and claimed Allah approved of everything. How convenient. I think maybe I should try that, find some nice looking women, rape them, and then claiming I am a prophet and my deity approved it all.

And third, its unlikely any jihadi would read these forums. And they gonna try recruit 'martyrs' anyway. And as mufti Al-Husseini proclaimed in 1944, they will try to find and kill the jews because that pleases 'Allah').

I don't remember reading Jesus advocating violence agains 'non-believers'.

You know what one of the problems is? Extremists who shout that "All muslims are Evil" or "Islam is an Evil religion" or "Muhammed was a murderous rapist and no prophet" and does not want to understand the deeper currents of discontent that set the riots in motion during the time those cartoons were published, people who see Islamic culture as a homogenous entity, and who fail to take into consideration the political aspects running through it all. They shout and make so much noise that the more moderate critics - critics who take a more factual approach - are drowned out if not ridiculed by the extremists themselves, often marginalized as 'apologists' or submissive idiots.

When people present their hate-filled and ill-informed drivel, many sensible people choose not to speak out because they don't want others to get the impression thet they are in league with such people. Sometimes they're driven to defend the people they would rather be critizising, but that's because the extremists are pushing it too far and make them into defenders.

And so it may happen that such angry speech can end up driving the moderate muslims into the lair of the extremes.

The way you're posting now isn't helping anything or anybody. So for the love of cheesecake, LEARN SOME FUCKING CIVILITY! And try to be a little more precise in your criticism.

It will make this world a better place.

You shouldn't be bending and twisting other peoples words.

People can be moderate even if their ideology isnt.

That copout is on the same level of pathos as "I hate blacks but I'm not a racist." If you demonize a religion as a whole, then you're either saying the "moderates" are a part of the problem, or they're too fucking stupid to bail out.

The # of attacks is too high to be coincidental. What you should understand is that the people who committed the attacks all think they have done so because islam commands it and Allah would be pleased by it.

you made that last bit up didn't you? Always putting words in peoples mouths. And yes, actually, Muhammad WAS a murderous pedophile. Historic evidence leaves no doubt whatsoever. And if those 'muslim marines' value anything the republic stands for, they'll think it's free speech protected by the first amendment.

And that's the one thing islam will never accept. The freedom to mock and ridicule. After all, there is no such thing as the right not to be offended.

They're not allowed to interpret if the qu'ran is clear and specific.

They can only interpret if the words are ambiguous.

Thirdly muslims follow the same god as christians, jews and catholics. They even had Jesus as a prophet

just because they say so doesn't actually make it so.

I too could liberally copy from the torah and the bible, bend and twist some stories in my favor, recognize all the mentioned prophets and then declare myself the latest/last prophet. Which is what Muhammad did.

Oh, and Jesus was the son of God, which is what islam specifically denies. And therefore, I deny them the status of religion. But of course, they are free to not believe that Jesus was the son of God, I believe that people are allowed to believe what they want. But that doesn't mean I have to like what they believe. What they believe is not compatible with what I believe because of the very point I mentioned. But I am not gonna go and suicide bomb them or anything or slit their throats.

Muhammad is without any doubt the most influential man of the last 15 centuries. He was extremely intelligent and way ahead of everyone else at the time. It's a bit like the Time's man of the year thing, it doesn't have to be good (or bad).

And that gives them a hell of a lot of wiggle-room. You've obviously never met a lawyer if you don't see that...

And you also forget the changing situation. LIke the sattelite dish: Does the Qu'ran allow muslims to own and use one or not? That's got nothing to do with ambiguity.

Also, what about the Burqa or the Hijab? And why muslim women are treated differently in different muslim qountries, do you understand why?

So not only will the Imams and the scholars interpret the book, but the culture and politics will have a lot of influence on it too.

There is simply no homogenous entety that is Islam.

Civilians is an irrelevant terms, every US citizen collaborates to perpetuate such imperialism around the world, thus becoming legitimate targets. Somehow the US is to be taken seriously when it completely ignores the geneva convention and law of war by using wars of aggression, torture and invasion, yet it is to taken seriously when it's own 'civilians' are killed? Get over yourself, it's war, 9/11 was a military attack, you make your own rules, then expect opponents of your imperialism to play by international laws when the US doesn't.

Which made realize: By constantly demonizing all Muslims as "barbaric," "savage," "3b1l," etc. etc. people with attitudes on Muslims similar to those shared by New Mitanni, Eve "I Swear I'm Not Deep Kimchi" Online and F1 Insanity are basically making it easier for the recruiters to brainwash the undecided Muslim youth into becoming future suicide bombers. Self-fulfilling prophecy, not to mention instilling a "If I'm going to be treated like a terrorist I well as might be one" mentality.

Wouldn't that fall under "providing support" to the terrorists?

As a percentage of islamist terrorists recruited, those who are recruited online is very minuscule. Vast majority is produced from madrassahs where there are no computers. And islamist terrorism predates internet. And if internet vanished tomorrow, there will be no dent on the pool of jihadis.

You are just setting up a strawman.

I don't remember reading Jesus advocating violence agains 'non-believers'.

Matt 13:40-42
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matt 12:30
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

John 3:36(Jesus speaking)
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

This is a good one...
Luke 19:27(Jesus speaking in a parable)
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

And so on...

Civilians is an irrelevant terms, every US citizen collaborates to perpetuate such imperialism around the world, thus becoming legitimate targets. Somehow the US is to be taken seriously when it completely ignores the geneva convention and law of war by using wars of aggression, torture and invasion, yet it is to taken seriously when it's own 'civilians' are killed? Get over yourself, it's war, 9/11 was a military attack, you make your own rules, then expect opponents of your imperialism to play by international laws when the US doesn't.
So m'dear, if civilian is an irrelevant term, does that apply across the board? Because looking at all civilians as collectively responsible could result in some ugly things if it was turned the wrong way. For example, would it have been acceptable for the Russians to go and napalm a few Chechen schools after Beslan? Or for us to kill the families of the London bombers to deter potential suicide bombers in future? After all, civilian is an irrelevant term and we're all complicit in these wars. What's good for the goose and all that....

You are just setting up a strawman.

You make a mistake in assuming this is simply about recruiting personnel to carry out suicide attacks. Al-Qaeda and other jihadi groups are using the Internet as a medium where they can preserve, present and spread their twisted form of Islam as the versions most faithful to Qu'ran, not to mention their target audiences go beyond locals attending madrassas. It's about subverting moderates into joining their views if not their ranks outright, and obviously Al-Qaeda would be stupid to not exploit and capitalize on the global reach and relative anonymity the Internet provides, much vaster than every single subverted madrassa in the world could ever hope to achieve.

This is not simply about adding more suicide bombers. This is also about trying to convince future Muslims that their Islam is the proper Islam. It's psychological warfare, proselytizing and propaganda at once. And it's a bigger threat than you're giving it credit. Otherwise the U.S. military intelligence and Aaron Weisburd wouldn't be giving shit about the proliferation of jihadi sites in the first place.

That's a bunch of malarky, that is. It seems to me that you're trying to create a post facto justification for the attacks. If not, please show me when the US ignored the laws of war by using wars of aggression and invasion before 9/11.

Actually, you needn't bother, not that you'll find anything if you decide to try. But it's irrelevant, as opposed to the designation of "civilians" which is extremely relevant.

There was no justification whatsoever for the attacks on the WTC. None of the civilians there had collaborated and become a legitimate target.

I suggest you go shopping for some morals and a pinch of ethics, while I stay here and not get over myself. I like my humanity.

Who do you think stops the US government from nuking the whole f***ing region, the US citizen! If it wasn't for the fact that we can recall the asshats in charge, they would of carpet bombed Iraq and Afghanistan into oblivion. If we really didn't care about the Geneva Convention, we wouldn't be losing the war in Iraq because we could just shoot everyone and take the country for our own.

So are US citizens perfect? Hell no, we are ill informed, susceptible to FUDs, and tend to be apathetic toward things that don't involve us directly. How do you think Bush got into office in the first place. However, we can also be caring, compassionate and protective of our children to a fault.

Making sweeping generalizations and lumping the will of governments with the will of its people is dangerous and misguided. This is what Eve Online and F1_Insanity do and does no good but sow resentment and perpetuate stereotypes. I expected better from you.

My dad used to get these weird magazines every once in a while, gun enthusiast type mags, and in the back were these ads that never came right out and said, 'assassin for hire' but seemed to be exactly that.

Point being, meh.
