WTF ?? WTF ??...ISIS Pledges to Send Fighters to Ferguson

[Rhinodawg]

ISIS supports Ferguson protesters: Islamic militants pledge to send over 'soldiers that don't sleep, whose drink is blood, and their play is carnage'

ISIS fighters in Syria post tweets declaring support for Ferguson rioters
•Urge protesters to embrace Islam and carry out acts of extreme violence
•Uploaded hand-written note vowing to send militants to the Missouri city
•But said rioters must first declare their allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi




The note Hussain posted on Twitter today is titled 'From #IS 2 Ferguson' and contains a promise to send militants to the Missouri city if protesters pledge allegiance to ISIS.

It reads: 'We hear you and we will help you if you accept Islam and reject corrupt man-made laws like democracy and pledge your allegiance to Caliph Abu Bakr and then we will shed our blood for you and send our soldiers that don't sleep, whose drink is blood, and their play is carnage.'

[jwirr]

1. Oh, wow, just what Ferguson MO needs - more violence.

[justiceischeap]

2. And more religious radicals

But hey, maybe the KKK and ISIS can duke it out.

[Derek V]

3. ISIS and the Ferguson Police

One of them is worse than the other.

[GGJohn]

6. Yeah, ISIS is much worse.

I haven't heard of mass murders or beheadings by the FPD yet.

[Rhinodawg]

32. Some people get confused.

[cali]

88. not really. comparisons are sometimes not only odious, they can be deeply stupid.

[Zorra]

4. Smells like dailymail doo-doo. nt

[Rhinodawg]

10. Read the note.

hit the link.

[Comrade Grumpy]

58. I can write a note, too, and trash rags like the Mail will run with it...

...if it says something that could conceivably fit its terror bogeyman propaganda scheme.

And people who hate Islam so much they'll pull anything out their ass will try to exploit it.

Say hi to Pam Geller for me.

[Comrade Grumpy]

59. Some unknown guy scribbled a note and posted it? Let's FREAK OUT!

[Rhinodawg]

62. How about Newsweek and Washington Post ?

see
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025878828#post13


and who said freak out?

You don't find it weird that ISIS wants to get involved in Ferguson?

[freshwest]

81. No, not weird. They feed off news stories to contact alienated people and recruit them.

[cali]

89. uh your ridiculous wtf post title said it, rhino!!! duh.

[truebluegreen]

5. This is what happens when America embarrasses itself so publicly. nt

[m-lekktor]

7. The Daily Mail is a crap source.

It's like the fucking New York Post or Washington Times. I never understand why people post their garbage here at DU.

[Fred Sanders]

8. LOL. Like Ferguson police tweeting they are sending Officer Wilson to fight ISIS, it is propaganda.

ISIS thanks you for the exposure.

Stop posting garbage from a garbage source.

[oberliner]

13. How about Newsweek?

Online activists for Islamic State (ISIS) have been using social media coverage of riots in Ferguson, Missouri over the shooting of unarmed black teenager Mike Brown by a white Missouri police officer to promote their cause.

Using the hashtags related to the riots ISIS activists have been reaching out to residents of the predominantly black St. Louis suburb of Ferguson urging them to join the ISIS wave of Islamist violence.

http://www.newsweek.com/isis-urge-ferguson-rioters-be-malcolm-x-287257

Or the Washington Post

Islamic State activists on Twitter are using the Ferguson protests to encourage its supporters to carry out attacks in the United States.

A Washington-based nonprofit group that monitors the social media activity of pro-Islamic State accounts said Tuesday that a “prominent group” is telling followers to use Ferguson-related hashtags to spread ISIS propaganda and incite more violence.

[Rhinodawg]

18. I will give you $10 if he responds.

nt

[Voice for Peace]

41. I'll take that tenner and get it to Oberliner for you.

[Rhinodawg]

43. Done

[Voice for Peace]

45. I checked my inbox, but it wasn't there.

[oberliner]

98. Donate it to the charity of your choice

Maybe this can be a new way to raise money.

[Voice for Peace]

99. It's a great way to raise imaginary money.

I've tried buying things with imaginary money however
and nobody will believe me.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Same propaganda garbage, citing other sources does not change the garbage.

[Voice for Peace]

42. are you saying it is propaganda garbage from ISIS, or from another source?

this dispute is confusing.

[Quantess]

64. Reminds me of Charles Manson reaching out to unstable young hippies.

Manson managed to lure in a couple of loyal followers.

[cali]

90. but who cares? only an absolute moron would take this threat as anything but

propaganda and capitalizing on this tragedy.

[oberliner]

92. Anyone who read through or commented on those articles

As well as those who commented on this thread.

The fact that ISIS (or whoever) is trying to capitalize on this tragedy and use it for their own propaganda purposes is, in and of itself, at least mildly interesting.

It speaks to the twitter world we live in and the way in which propaganda functions today as opposed to just ten years ago.

[cali]

93. I don't find it particularly compelling or meaningful.

and I don't think propaganda has substantially changed even if the delivery of it has.

[Rhinodawg]

16. Oh good...then you'll like this better

Ferguson protests used as fuel for Islamic State propaganda

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/in-the-loop/wp/2014/11/25/ferguson-protests-used-as-fuel-for-islamic-state-propaganda/



now, call that garbage !!!!

[Fred Sanders]

17. Yes, same garbage, different wrapper. The smell is the same.

[Rhinodawg]

22. That smell is not the wrapper.

Think inward.

[Fred Sanders]

23. What?

[Ykcutnek]

9. Good way to try and discredit a budding movement.

But no one intelligent will fall for it.

[stone space]

11. I sense a slight flaw in the plan...

But said rioters must first declare their allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

[Voice for Peace]

40. lol

they might snag a few. More likely to get more recruits if
they offer to fight against the protesters. Some KKK guys
might go for it.

[Art_from_Ark]

74. But wouldn't the KKK have to make Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

an honorary Grand Wizard or Reluctant Dragon or whatever before they could pledge allegiance to him?

[Voice for Peace]

78. hmm.. there's also the darkness of ISIS' skin

Maybe KKK is out.

[shraby]

12. Isn't that nice??

It's written in English..not only that, it's nice and neatly written. Wonder who actually wrote it??
I'm guessing not someone from the Middle East.

[DetlefK]

21. Some muslim Brits are members of ISIS.

[groundloop]

24. True... but that also rules out most r/w morans

I imagine some of the hacks at these right wing propaganda mills that call themselves "news" outlets might be capable though.

[99Forever]

14. Some people wil believe any fucking thing.

[Fred Sanders]

20. Yes, same folks that believed ebola was airborne will believe this. Fear is fun for some,

credibility and facts supportive of the fear are optional.

[99Forever]

25. I swear that the collective intellgence of America...

... is falling faster than a rock off a cliff.

[Rhinodawg]

26. Bwahahaha...

funny

[TBF]

61. Thank you - I was going to mention Ebola

but someone beat me to it.

[neverforget]

66. Some people are easily frightened too

ISIS said it so it must be true.

[99Forever]

67. Precisely...

... the boogieman is gonna get us.

[cali]

91. and some people just what to stir up hate.

[Rhinodawg]

95. Some people do...like

"The fact remains that fundamentalism within Islam, at this point in history, is a more powerful force than it is within any of the other major religions re the manifestation of violence."

oh wait....that's....you.

Glass houses and all.

[cali]

96. pretending you can't see the difference in what I wrote there and in my

position in general re Islam and yours, just doesn't cut it, dawg.

transparent, dawg.

[Rhinodawg]

97. Yeah....suuuure....

Still trying to bait me....I wont give you the chance.

just to quote your EXACT words......"go away. please. just go"

[DetlefK]

15. They are REALLY desperate for attention.

- constant military pressure
- somehow other muslims refuse to accept their caliph as the true caliph of all muslims
- Though they brought stability to some rundown parts of Iraq, they have no experience in administration and make things worse again by too much meddling.
- Despite what their propaganda tells, the locals only obey ISIS' laws at gunpoint. There is no happy muslim community in IS.
- ISIS has to grudgingly accept compromises to their fanatic doctrine to keep everyday-life running in their territories.
- Their occupied territories are running out of doctors and medical supplies. (BYOBD = "Bring your own blood-donor.&quot
- IS has recently begun issuing their own money. I think they are doing this so they can pay their own people with their worthless money while using the foreign currencies they get from trading oil for international deals for weapons.

Victory is right around the corner. Just a few more dead hostages and the Golden Age of Islam will return. Victory is right around the corner...

[socialist_n_TN]

30. Their biggest problem is probably the PKK.........

That notorious "terrorist" organization on the US and NATO list of terrorist organizations. The ONLY ones that are actually kicking ISIS's ASS in Kobane.

[DetlefK]

36. About the PKK...

Their leader, Abdullah Öcalan, ran a racket in Germany by collecting protection money from immigrated Kurds.
That's why he got arrested in Germany and that's how he ultimately ended up in a turkish jail.

[socialist_n_TN]

46. Yep. And quite frankly, their politics are flawed too......

Too much anarchistic leanings. BUT they ARE the only ones giving ISIS a run for their money AND they're doing it without NATO help. And sometimes against active NATO resistance.

[KingCharlemagne]

48. PKK also supports the Ferguson resistance. I saw a photo of one their female

fighters holding a sign that pledged solidarity with #Ferguson. It was a very moving photograph and, wouldn't you know it, I can't lay my hands on it just now. Not going to spend all Thanksgivign Day in a mad, fruitless search for it, but have asked a couple Socialist comrades to be on the llokout and forward it to me if they see it.

[socialist_n_TN]

49. I believe I've seen that photo somewhere.......

There's a ton of true internationalism going on now days. People worldwide are seeing the same things, a system that's built to oppress the rest of us. That internationalism is now just in the solidarity stage on social media, but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't get more serious as the situation gets more serious.

[Rhinodawg]

29. No comment

have fun.

[JonLP24]

31. I believe it is reported as is

It is consistent with their propaganda.

As far as what ISIS is claiming, like I said its propaganda

ISIS is the best group in terms of using social media, no doubt, and in Iraq they already have the monopoly.'
https://news.vice.com/article/isis-fighters-and-their-friends-are-total-social-media-pros

Their videos also appear to have high production values
https://news.vice.com/article/isis-has-a-really-slick-and-sophisticated-media-department

Whoever is behind their propaganda campaign, there is a bit of a Hollywood touch.

[Voice for Peace]

39. some sociopathic geeks who were bored to death in their parents' basements.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. We know they can design good web pages; why are you surprised they can troll you too?

Haven't you noticed that they have people in ISIS who know about the internet? They know how to attract attention, especially from click-bait sites like the Daily Mail, and use it for mutual advantage - the Mail gets page views, and you keep their name in people's consciousness and higher on the search page results. Which might help paint them as 'resistance to the wicked West' in some deluded would-be jihadist's eyes.

Well done.

[oberliner]

34. What about Newsweek and the Washington Post?

They both had articles on this as well.

[muriel_volestrangler]

47. Why would you be surprised that Newsweek and the Washington Post publish click bait too?

Hell, Newsweek pretty much has to - it's been on the verge of folding for years. But they did bother getting a quote from the Qulliam Foundation: '“bandwagoning national and international social media trends” is something ISIS are quite adept at'.

The Washington Post does manage to take a more sober view of it - "Ferguson protests used as fuel for Islamic State propaganda" and "it’s not unusual for the Islamic State, or other militant groups, to use current events to instigate their followers".

[kelliekat44]

33. I give even the thugs in Ferguson more credit than to fall for ISIS who would skin them alive in a

heart beat. This is the danger of an unjust, and racist society. It makes everyone fertile ground for hate.

[Rhinodawg]

35. ^^^^ this

[Voice for Peace]

38. ++

Fox will have some fun with this, I think.

[Voice for Peace]

37. I know this isn't funny but

it's kind of hilarious, in a bizarre way.

[Stellar]

82. Agreed, LOL!!!

[JonLP24]

83. I couldn't help but this also made me laugh

As someone who played first person shooters the "respawn" part made me laugh. Jannah is an eternal paradise, like a heaven.

[Iggo]

44. lol.

Come on.

[n2doc]

50. I think John McCain and the Savage Wiener just came

Their dream come true!

[Scootaloo]

51. Well, I'll give them an E for effort

[Rex]

52. Ugh.

[SomethingFishy]

53. They're just pissed off that they are off the "front page"...

"Reject Democracy".. They don't know too much about Americans do they...

[U4ikLefty]

54. ...and the IDF would be there to back up the Feguson PD?

[whatchamacallit]

55. They're comin to get ya

Piss yourself and run to give away your rights!

[Rhinodawg]

65. Yes, we are all scared.

[TheKentuckian]

56. I'm not grasping the concern nor the emotion. Seems like a guilty conscience

so aware of the systemic wrong that it supports that it legitimately fears such an offer from such refuse would be of interest to too many oppressed folks.

Seems like America needs to worry a whole fuckload more about it's self and less about sand lice on the other side of the world.

[bluedigger]

57. Well, aren't they just precious?

We'll leave the lights on for them!

[heaven05]

60. amerikkan racists bring

Last edited Thu Nov 27, 2014, 04:30 PM - Edit history (3)

stuff like this down on their own heads. Nope appreciate the offer but stay over there and we will takr care of our problems. We are capable enough. And I also ask why would I replace one racist blood lusting religion for another blood lusting religion. No thanks,the good christians have been enough of an example of a bloodlusting, hateful religion. I'll just believe that, God is.

[bravenak]

68. +1

Thank but no thanks. Got enough problems here without the extra killings.

[AverageJoe90]

73. And ISIS is actually a lot worst than even many of our own racists:

They have outright massacred the Kurds in damn near every place they've come across, that has any significant Kurdish population. For all our problems, be thankful that we do not, at this time, have a group this nasty, with the firepower and the will to back their murderous rage up.....yet.....

[AgingAmerican]

63. I'm sure when FOX news gets wind of this

Their heads will all explode in unison.

[darkangel218]

69. We need to send boots on the ground and anihilate ISIS

Enough is enough.

[Rhinodawg]

70. I dont know if you are serious or joking.

?

[ForgoTheConsequence]

77. So when are you enlisting?

Keyboard warrior.

[JonLP24]

84. Boots on the ground will probably help with their recruiting

They want us over there, its part of their propaganda.

We had boots on the ground in Iraq for years which led to ISIS being created in the first place (also US run prisons didn't help which didn't allow detainees to challenge their detention--where the Baghdadi got most of his initial recruits)

The only way ISIS will be defeated is if poverty stricken Sunnis reject them.

On edit - the also have our weapons & equipment, I don't know how they acquired them (the butt stock of the M16 photo in the link as me curious as the military writes numbers on the butt stocks) but more weapons & equipment in the area will probably find their way into their hands.

[Blue_Tires]

71. Yeah, seems totally legit

ISIS is just trying to piggyback off of the Ferguson media coverage, and if they are lucky, maybe get 1-2 suckers to try to join them...

[AverageJoe90]

72. Not sure I'm buying this, TBH.

Yes, strange bedfellows have happened before, but one thing many people tend to forget is that most Islamists, to be truthful, are actually rather bigoted, and in many cases, even outright racist, against people not like them.....just look at what they did to the Kurds!

[morningfog]

75. Hahahaha. That's hilarious. It's the internet troll trifecta!

[ForgoTheConsequence]

76. Some of the dip shits in this country believe anything that shows up on the internet.

If you take this seriously you're completely lacking in any sort of rationality or critical thinking skills.




























BOO! Be scared of the Muslim and young black teen boogeymen!

[neverforget]

80. ISIS is coming for you.

Their propaganda says so so be afraid.

[Recursion]

79. There is a small, persistent belief among some mujahideen...

... that the African American population (the rate of whom follow Islam they seem to vastly overestimate anyways) is a usable fifth column for them. IIRC Bin Ladin mentioned it during his 2004 "message", but it was seen as a sop to the "near enemy" adherents (which philosophy eventually morphed into ISIS); the "far enemy" people like Bin Ladin and Zawahiri were much more skeptical of the idea (and, at any rate, tended to have a race problem of their own making, c.f. Al Qaeda's multiple early stumbles in sub-Saharan Africa).

[Rhinodawg]

85. You remember correctly.

[Recursion]

94. Funny, though, how quickly that news disappeared, isn't it? (nt)

[hobbit709]

86. there's a better chance of you getting shot by the Ferguson cops than ISIS coming here.

[cali]

87. no kidding. It appears that the op scours the web for anything that portrays Muslims negatively

while frequently feigning shock; all under the guise of "only hating violent extremists.
