From The Gathering Storm:
The jihad continues to advance in cyberspace. Global Islamic Media Front Instructs Islamists to Infiltrate Popular Non-Islamic Forums to Spread Pro-Islamic State Propaganda. The Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) has announced a new comprehensive media campaign titled “The Battar Media Raid to Defend the Islamic State [of Iraq].
In a message titled “The Battar Media Raid: How to Participate? How to Help? What Is My Role?” the GIMF announces the beginning of the campaign and provides a detailed description of the campaign’s goals and ways of accomplishing them, including infiltrating non-Islamic forums for the purpose of posting pro-ISI propaganda.
The media blitz will also include infiltration of entertainment forums:
Here’s the plan for innocent infidel entertainment sites – their end-game of the raid.
“The raid demands of you many things… such as expertise, especially in the following areas: seeking religious knowledge, montage, translation into any language, uploading material onto various types of websites, web design, graphic design, journal and publication design, and hacking and security. If you have expertise in any of these [fields], contact the GIMF representative on any of the forums. If, however, you do not possess this expertise… there are other matters you can [promote]: for example, posting matters related to the raid in most [jihad] forums… posting [material] in non-jihad forums, posting in non-Islamic forums such as music forums, youth forums, sports forums, and others. Anyone who undertakes to post the material must look into the [appropriate] manner of spreading [the material for each type of forum]… The way in which members of music forums address one another differs from the way members of jihad forum address one another.”
Counter jihad activists should be alert and pro active in dealing with this menace.
