Feds: Alleged terrorist was prolific user of Yahoo Answers

He adopted the username “AdeL” and he always seemed to be online.

One minute he was at his computer, typing out a lengthy answer to the question “Muslims: Whom do you hate the most, Jews, Christians, or atheists?”

The next, he was writing a facetious response to the teaser, “How do I stop my dog from eating poop?”

But in real life “AdeL” was more than just one of the most prolific users of the Yahoo Answers website back in 2011, according to FBI documents filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals this week, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

ISIS and Social Media

By Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich

Global Research, June 26, 2014

Few people, if any, would argue the existence of the ISISterrorists.  Fewer still doubt the origins and motivation of the group.  Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) said: “I think we have to understand first how we got here,” …..”I think one of the reasons why ISIS has been emboldened is because we have been arming their allies. We have been allied with ISIS in Syria.”   ISIS features prominently in every new outlet around the world – but what’s with the Twitter?

 Curiously, while the conflict in Syria has destroyed its infrastructure, amidst the bombing, fleeing, starvation, power cuts and fuel shortages, mainstream media would have us believe that ISIS has successfully set up shop in Syria to recruit “jihadist” using Google Chat, Skype, and Twitter (CNN).   Clearly, these terrorists are tech-savvy and know how to use in Twitter Digital Terrorism.

 In their study, Burson-Marsteller concluded that Twitter was ‘a powerful channel for digital diplomacy’ – but what of propaganda?  To borrow from President Eisenhower, surely, Twitter propaganda ‘has proved its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal.’
