Trolling Al Qaeda... For Peace?

The Mister Purple writes "There is a small initiative underway to combat Islamic militant recruiting on the Internet... by trolling them. Quoting the article: 'The program, called Viral Peace, seeks to occupy the virtual space that extremists fill, one thread or Twitter exchange at a time. Shahed Amanullah, a senior technology adviser to the State Department and Viral Peace's creator, tells Danger Room he wants to use "logic, humor, satire, [and] religious arguments, not just to confront [extremists], but to undermine and demoralize them." Think of it as strategic trolling, in pursuit of geopolitical pwnage.' So, does this mean that I'm promoting peace when I post YouTube comments?"

While I'm all for trolling Muslims

[Chrisq]

While I'm all for trolling Muslims, they are not going to decide to ignore the teachings of their faith and be peaceful, respect equality, free speech just because of logic. They're incapable of basic decent humanity, let alone logic. Oh and to preempt those who say that pointing out the evils of Islam is "racist", white Muslims are Just as Capable and likely to be terrorists as brown ones, and there are plenty of brown victims, the peaceful Coptic Christians for example.

Slashfuck bitches are too limp to do this

[Anonymous Coward]

Because too many of you all are Christians, and that's the limp-wristed version of Islam, still crazy and fucked up but send poor people armed with advanced tech to fight your fights instead of blowing your self up to do it.

Fuck the lot of you. You religidiots are all losers. Fuck you.

they are incapable of irony

[gelfling]

Just like 'progressives' the other terrorist cheerleaders you can't impress them with satire or irony because they don't understand that. Better to just erase them all from the face of the earth.
