Jihad on the Internet (Special Report)

20 April 2002

CANADA (Online): A series of new web-sites have sprung up within the last few months, giving an alternative view on the current Crusade against Islam. A list of some of these web-sites are given here, some of which are not new, but nevertheless recommended. For the Muslims who are confused as to what to do and where to start, they can start by letting everyone know about the web-sites below, taking articles from them and emailing them around to their friends, and printing selected articles and interviews to paste on their mosque and prayer room noticeboards. In this way, the Muslims can easily counteract the American-Zionist controlled media via word of mouth over the internet, which is the most effective means of mass communication. However, it requires a collective effort. One person printing and putting up articles on their noticeboards is not the same as 100 people doing it, which is not the same as 1000 people doing it, etc. Be sure to put the reference of the web-site whenever distributing the articles.

5. The Palestine Information Center: The English web-site of the Palestine Information Center containing a detailed history on the land and conflict of Palestine, together with news and images.
