Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State publishes a ‘how to’ outfox Twitter guide

“Islamic State’s presence on social media is here to stay even as it loses ground in Iraq and Syria and after a serious crackdown by Twitter.”

They have nothing to be concerned about. Twitter is far more concerned with clamping down on alleged “right-wing extremists.”

“ISIS publishes a ‘how to’ outfox Twitter guide,” by Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, November 20, 2016:

Islamic State’s presence on social media is here to stay even as it loses ground in Iraq and Syria and after a serious crackdown by Twitter. The terrorist entity has published a guide on how to outfox Twitter’s efforts, according to an advance copy of a report by the Jihadi Websites Monitoring Group of IDC’s International Institute for Counter-Terrorism obtained by The Jerusalem Post.

The Amaq media group, which Islamic State uses to “raise awareness about safe and secure Internet use,” recently published several graphs on its Telegram instant messaging-service account regarding the organization’s activities on social networks, according to the report.

Amaq’s data includes some staggering statistics, namely that last month alone, 5,994 new Islamic State-linked accounts were opened, including 732 on Facebook, 5,162 on Twitter and 100 on Telegram, along with 50 virtual telephone numbers to be used to open fictitious accounts on social networks.

This means a 25% increase from September in its use of social networks.

Besides those published graphs, the ICT report said that Islamic State announced that it intends to expend “significant efforts on the wide distribution of the organization’s propaganda materials in light of the Twitter administration’s systematic removal of IS[IS] supporters’ accounts.”

To accomplish its goals, Islamic State provides several “tips on how to outfox the Twitter management and continue to publish propaganda materials,” and recommends that its supporters join the group’s efforts to distribute materials on social networks.

In another exclusive ICT advance-copy document obtained by the Post, it is reported that “Horizons” (Afaq), an Islamic State-affiliated media outlet, released a guide titled, “Introduction to I2P and the Darknet and how to use them,” providing instructions in Arabic on installation of I2P (Invisible Internet Project, an overlay network and Darknet that allows applications to send messages to each other pseudonymously and securely) on Android devices.

The guide was published on November 9 on a website that allows registered and anonymous users to store texts and images and distribute them using a public web page….

    Maybe this is not such a bad thing – conservatives with an active Twitter presence might want to read it, seeing how Twitter is shadowbanning and banning conservatives.

      That was the first thing that occurred to me too.

      Give Twit and TwoFacebook a reality slap upside the head.

    “ISIS publishes a ‘how to’ outfox Twitter guide”

    Muslims all realize in their gut that they are at war to outfox and defeat the dirty kafirs that they must hate for the sake of Allah.

    Muhammad says, “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.”

    He says those words in the most canonical hadith collection, Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 84, Hadith 57.

    Various other canonical hadiths attest that Muhammad called for death to those who leave Islam. That’s why even today all the schools of Islamic law prescribe death for apostasy from Islam.

    Check out these links to news stories, and also these links to news stories about people being killed for daring to leave Islam. And many, many more such stories have been reported in the global media.

    A December 2010 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found relatively widespread popular support for the death penalty as a punishment for apostasy from Islam: in Egypt (84% of respondents in favor of death penalty), Jordan (86% in favor), Indonesia (30% in favor), Pakistan (76% favor) and Nigeria (51% in favor).

    ISIS is finished- it just doesn’t know it yet! Last report I read said ‘estimated 3,000 ISIS still in Mosul.
    Used to be 12,000 or more a few weeks ago.
    In another report the Iraqi Army asked UK for thermobaric weapons to exterminate the rats in their tunnels.
    To my shock the UK MOD replied it did not have any. WHAT??

      I wouldn’t write them off as a threat too quickly, even if those numbers are accurate. How many of them are dispersing to their countries and cities of origin ready to carry out attacks there?

      Honestly, I’d rather see them all congregate in one place to fight.

    Surely infidels should take a leaf out of their book and work to take advantage of the Muslim Internet to “destroy the miserable house of Dar-al-Islam from inside.”

    Surely Muslims do have their own Muslim-created halal Internet with five daily down times for prayer?

    Anyone leaving the U.S.A to fight with our enemies is a TRAITOR.
    They should NEVER be allowed to renter this nation.
    And, when they do sneak in, dart them like you would any dangerous animal then return to the wilds of:
