The Twitter Terrorism of ISIS

It is the trappings of Western society like the social media known as “Twitter” allowing fanatical terrorists to move with ease and freedom among the innocent and left-vulnerable-by-their-own-government masses.

In June when the Sunday Times revealed a threat made by London hip-hop artist Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary--now key suspect in the hunt for the killer of American journalist James Foley--what was done about it? “The lions are coming for you soon you filthy kuffs (infidels),” he wrote. “Beheadings in your own backyard soon.” (Yahoo News, Aug. 25, 2014 ) Bary, who recently tweeted a photo of himself holding up a severed head, is among three Brits identified as possibly being the masked Foley killer known as “John”. Bary’s tweeted June threat was anything but empty, as within a space of less than two months, Foley was decapitated with threats of the same fate for Islamic State hostage Steven Sotloff. Forensic ‘experts’ are now claiming that Foley was not decapitated on the viral video but killed sometime after the tape was released.

“THE beheading of American journalist, James Foley, at the hands of ISIS militants shocked the world but forensic experts have revealed the video was probably staged, with the murder happening off camera. “The UK Times reported that an international forensic science company, which has worked for police forces across Britain, said there is no question Foley was beheaded but that camera trickery and post-production techniques look to have been used.

““I think it has been staged,” said one expert in visual forensics, after he was commissioned by The UK Times to examine the footage. “My feeling is that the execution may have happened after the camera was stopped.” We can only hope that the story the execution may have happened after the camera was stopped does not transcend the story that James Foley was brutally decapitated. Why is the Islamic State being given the welcome mat to social media? Why do they get away with using YouTube as a propaganda tool for their horrific beheadings? Why are they afforded such ease in recruiting other misfit members for terrorist groups like ISIS online? These loathsome barbarians with Beatle nicknames had starring roles--online--before their YouTubed execution of James Foley caught them up in the glare of world publicity. Abdel Majed Abdel Bary was an aspiring rapper known as “L Jinny,” whose music was played on BBC Radio. Bary also appeared in music videos posted on YouTube for songs titled Overdose, Flying High and Dreamer. (Yahoo News) “Also under investigation are Abu Hussain Al-Britani, 20, a computer hacker from Birmingham; and Abu Abdullah al-Britani, in his 20s, from Portsmouth, the MailOnline reported. Mail Online reported that al-Britani was jailed in 2012 for stealing personal information from former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. How did he fall through the cracks? “Al Britani was reportedly radicalised by followers of firebrand ­Islamic preacher Anjem Choudary and walked out of his family’s plush West London home last year, saying he was “leaving everything for the sake of Allah.” (Yahoo News) In other words, all of these bloodthirsty evil terrorists were hiding in plain sight--online. “The real name of al-Britani is Junaid Hussian, and he has worked to fund the ISIS war chest by mounting jihadist cyber attacks on British banks and celebrities.” The real names of ISIS terrorists are rarely used. It is the former hostages held by ISIS who nicknamed the jihadists “the Beatles” because of their British accents. Understandable that hostages in dire need of morale building through humour could call Britani, “John” and two of his cronies “George” and “Ringo”, but shouldn’t the media refer to them as Terrorist Abu Hussain Al-Britani-, Terrorist Abu Abdullah al-Britani and Terrorist Abdel Majed Abdel Bary? British authorities now know the rat’s nest the terrorists call home. “Bary, is one of a group of at least six Britons believed to be in Raqqa, Syria. Their constant use of social media, including contact with people in Britain over the weekend, is said to be providing ‘valuable’ intelligence as agencies prepare for potential strikes on IS positions. (Daily Mail, Aug. 25, 2014) “The UK is ‘very close’ to identifying the jihadist believed to have beheaded American journalist James Foley, Britain’s ambassador to Washington revealed yesterday, as spies use a 'vein matching' technique in their bid to find the Briton." Let’s hope so because while in Britain spies are using a ‘vein matching’ technique in their bid to find Foley’s executioner, and while NSA spies in America continue to turn their spying inward on average American citizens, the ISIS terrorists are getting away with murder--and doing so right over the Internet.
