These videos are then mixed with the blatantly violent speeches which he has produced, giving Awlaki an edge in recruiting youths who would not otherwise be interested in al-Qaeda’s message. He promotes the message that the West is at war with Islam and scholars who don’t speak about this have been bought by the CIA. Jihad is the only answer and the goal is an Islamic state ruled by shariah law.
Awlaki has also directly addressed jihadi media on the importance of their message. In his “Message about the Media,” Awlaki tells the story of Abdulelah Haidar Shaea, a Yemeni journalist who was temporarily imprisoned for promoting al-Qaeda. “A journalist is responsible before Allah for what he presents to people, as the media role in shaping minds is clear,” he remind jihadi video makers.
Many films also draw from preexisting Arabic media, and simply subtitle or dub them in English. Despite the simplicity of just translating existing mediums, it remains important for would-be terrorists to receive messages directly from al-Qaeda’s senior leadership and to feel themselves a part of the larger jihadi world.
English-language jihadi voices have even become celebrities in the Arabic jihadi world. Anwar al-Awlaki’s works are being translated into Arabic, while Adam Gadahn gave a speech in English for the new full length feature titled “For Incitement and Publishing: You Are Held Responsible Only for Yourself.”
“By the grace of Allah, the enemies’ interests are today spread all over the place and easily accessible,” Gadahn says. “So the opportunity to carry out the divine obligation of fighting the enemies of Allah is available to anyone who has the will and determination, regardless of where he might be.”
“And I advise every brother who wants to work for this religion not to undertake any action before taking advantage of the wide range of resources available today on the internet,” he adds.
If these videos are shown on jihadist web sites, wouldn’t it be funny if we could hack into them and dub over the voices with really funny text? Like maybe we could feed in the voices of the women on QVC or the Shopping Networks selling underwear over the film of a radical Jihadist praying for war? Humor would go a long, long, way in emasculating these scumbags. And it would be really funny too.
Why stop at sound dubbing? Create an image of a goat crapping in time with this guy’s speech. Dub his speech on to a blond woman in a bikini. Include extraneous ads that use the speaker’s speech patterns and accent to make a tampon ad.
Humor is the best medicine here. Poking fun at these people can be crude, silly, or perhaps even profound. But most of all, we must laugh at them. They will be outraged because humor is one thing they can not handle.
…Adam Gadahn gave a speech in English for the new full length feature titled “For Incitement and Publishing: You Are Held Responsible Only for Yourself.”
Adam is a piece of work. Grew up in southern California, into heavy metal, distinguished himself by getting thrown out of a southern California mosque.
A loser, gravitated overseas, got himself a wife (or so) and became a parrot for Al Qaeda.
As was true for the muscle guys of 911, so much of this movement is about recognition & prestige.
Al-Awlaki was arrested twice in San Diego for soliciting prostitutes.
An archeology video of findings in the Middle East that show who Allah really is. Sin the moon god. On the second part of the video, Muhammad can be seen marrying a six year old girl, then raping her at nine. Plus, Muhammad having a whole tribe of Jews having their heads cut off, and their women enslaved for not worshiping the moon god.
A correct history video would go a long way to showing the Ummah that Islam is a pagan religion, and Muhammad was a thief, lied, and murdered his whole life.
ROPMA!
