Radical Islamic Internet Forum Debates Poisoning Water in Europe
A post on a radical
Islamic Internet forum provided details on how to poison supplies in
Denmark, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere in Europe in retaliation
for the publishing of cartoons that satirized the Prophet Mohammed.
The Jamestown Foundation’s Global Terrorism Analysis in September
reported that the posting on the radical Al-Ekhlaas.net web site
caused an intense debate among readers of the site on whether the
suggested attacks are justified.
The plan called for using a decoy to distract the security services
of the targeted country and using a blonde-haired operative with
light skin. Some readers of the forum discussed how best to carry
out the attack and discussed various poisons that could be used. One
even asked for information on how to obtain an aerosol distribution
system that could be used to spread the poison through the air.
While the majority of the forum’s readers supported the plot, a
minority argued that it was unjustified and required a fatwa, or an
Islamic religious ruling, to permit the large-scale killing of
civilians. Others also took issue with the fact that Muslims would
inadvertently die in such an attack. The report noted that the
debate showed the struggle between radical and moderate Muslims.
“[Moderate Muslims] often succeed in dissuading indecisive Islamists
in the forums from carrying out extremist violence by challenging
the militants with strong arguments they cannot refute,” the report
stated, “unfortunately, moderates rarely jump into debate with
extremists for fear of being accused of apostasy.”
