I BET THEY'LL USE A VERY STRICT DOCTYPE
Friday, March 28th, 2008As reported by the BBC, a new international web design competition has been announced:
“A new twist has surfaced in the cyber war being waged by Islamic militants.
A message has been posted to several radical Islamist - or jihadi - websites announcing a competition to design a new site for a militant group in Iraq.
The prize offered is the chance to fire missiles remote-controlled by computer at a US military base in Iraq…
The winner will be given the chance, the group says, to fire three long-range missiles at an American army base in Iraq by - in the words of the announcement - “pressing a button on his computer with his own blessed hand, using technology developed by the jihad fighters”…
It is similar to an advertisement recently put out on radical Islamist websites by a group called the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) - asking for applications for posts as video editors, writers and translators for a weekly TV bulletin presenting news from a jihadi perspective.
The GIMF aims to be a clearing-house for information from and about groups linked to al-Qaeda…”
Well, I suppose their content would be filling a niche market, since even Indymedia doesn’t have an outpost in Mecca…yet…
