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

Islamic State jihadis call for steep escalation in online jihad

Mar 5, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Meanwhile, the social media giants are steadily working to shut down opponents of jihad terror.

“ISIS Supporters Around the World Rally for Steep Escalation in Online Jihad,” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, March 3, 2019:

ISIS-linked media groups are calling on supporters to help expand the virtual caliphate by escalating media jihad on a variety of popular platforms.

In a propaganda poster distributed online in English and Arabic, Muntasir Media, showing a grenade wrapped in computer keyboard letters, directed followers to “Support Your State”: “Help to expand, transfer and share the official contents of the Islamic State to other platforms.”

Arrows direct users to go to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter — platforms that have tried to crack down on Islamic State content for years, chasing many online jihadists to Telegram channels and lesser-known platforms to distribute propaganda and recruit members.

Muntasir’s previous releases include a six-minute, Spanish-language video released in December showing images of bodies in the August 2017 Las Ramblas attack and declaring that “the cells are ready” to strike “designated” targets again. It showed photos of veiled Muslim women being taken into custody by police in various situations, calling for a “new attack in revenge for our sisters.”

Other ISIS-supporting media groups have also been spreading the word for jihadists to take the campaign online now as never before.

Last week, a poster from the Al-Haq Foundation also encouraged media jihad, showing a hooded figure typing on a laptop computer in front of icons for various online platforms including Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vine, and Snapchat.

The same pro-ISIS outlet also released posters threatening air travel — showing a passenger wheeling an ISIS-logo suitcase through a terminal — and another showing a wolf howling at a full moon while urging a lone jihadist to be “the expected wolf.”

Al-Nur Media released an image of an operative at a computer, stating “O frere des medias tu es un mujahid” — “O brother of the media you are a mujahid.” Another poster from the group urged supporters to “prolong the fight in the media” as other jihadists fought on traditional battlefields. And yet another French-language image depicted a supporter on a cell phone with urging to “participate in the media front.”…

    While jihadis try to advance their messaging and recruit more youths to serve the caliphate, Western social media try to stop counter-jihadists from arguing against the jihad doctrine.

    Western social media are clueless about what Islam actually teaches, so they replace their ignorance with virtue-signalling and thus keep Muslims locked in the endless cycle of Islamic brainwashing.

    How will Islam be changed if no new information is introduced into the minds of Muslims.

    If they accept the Quran as the unchangeable word of their god and they wish to please their god they have no choice but to fight in any way that they can. Quran 9:29 tells them so. Anything from taking offense at being wished a merry Christmas to blowing up thousands of people with a bomb is not off limits to them in their fight. They have submitted and they must make others submit also. This is not the way the God in whom I believe wants human beings to live their lives. As nice as some Muslims may appear to be the religion which they follow is evil at its core.

    When does ISIS-linked media groups NOT call on supporters to escalate media jihad?

    I hope to see the day when social media goes extinct. These platforms are ridiculous and far more dangerous than “convenient.” Connect with family and friends via email…simple. I have no need for status updates, selfies, photos of a homemade lasagna, etc. clogging my inbox and exhausting my limited email storage space.

    ……………..

    But it is those who stand against Jihad terror who are being banned from social media. Madness.

      ISIS should not be too worried about encouraging more terror-attacks.

      Eventually they will prove to be largely superfluous.
