See also a survey of Islamic news groups such as [email protected]
which reveals a pattern of regularly orchestrating email campaigns to
terminate employment of offending commentators and authors.
Instead of responding to issues, the response is…[ad hominem]
attacks on people [who offend such Muslims].
In such actions, the call- to-action cites the Koranic Sura 3:104
[i.e., Qur’an, ch. 3, verse-law 104]:
“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all
that is good, enjoining [sic: promoting]
what is right, and forbidding what is wrong.
These are the ones to attain felicity.”…

The above
U.S.
Department of Defense briefing paper poses rare, critical thinking. Some
U.S.
Christians and non-Muslims are asking
questions. The briefing paper yet explains the ignorance of
U.S.
and other television news and print media.
Fortunately for IRForces, journalists ask irrelevant questions.
Unclassified, this paper (above slightly
reformatted with added, bracketed information) addresses this influential
IRForces weapon of misinformation.
Very helpful to the Islamic Radical Forces, it causes peculiar and
useful, enduring confusion
in the minds of
U.S.
and non-Muslim politicians. IRForces
intend to conquer or destroy their constituencies.
IRForces’ misinformation has successfully thus controlled
the minds and speech of political and media spokespersons in the
U.S.
and other democracies. The
above military briefing paper
calls it positive-bias information. Propaganda
is another word. Whatever
called, such misinformation
splendidly benefits the Islamic Radical Forces in this ongoing war.
It is a formidable ideas-weapon.
