Fight For Freedom On FaceBook

FACEBOOK has provided a new way to wage war against Islamic supremacism, and we should take advantage of it. I'm on FaceBook as Charles TheHammer, so if you're already on FaceBook, click here and make me your friend.

What else can you do on FaceBook? Here's what I recommend:

1. Join groups and causes. There are lots of a good groups and causes on FaceBook, and each cause acts as a sifter of sorts. So if you join the cause, for example, 1,000,000 against Jihad, you have already filtered out anyone who would not join such a group. Almost everyone who joined the cause is on our side.

2. Invite people in those groups to be your friends. Do it a little at a time. FaceBook doesn't let you just go through and invite a thousand people a day to be your friends. They consider it spamming. But you can invite ten every day. When you invite someone to be your friend, you have the opportunity to write a message. I recommend you use that opportunity and write something like this: "Hello John. I am committed to stopping Islam's relentless encroachment and because both of us are members of the group 2 Million people against Female Genital Mutilation, we share a common goal, so I think we should be friends." Not everyone will accept, but many will. Over time, you can have hundreds of people who are interested in defeating the third jihad.

And you don't have to confine yourself to inviting people who are already committed. You can find other causes that may be related, and invite those people. That way, you can introduce new people to the cause. If they start being negative or leaving harassing comments on your page, you can UNmake them your friend. It's easy. Go to their page, and scroll down to the bottom left-hand side, and you'll see, "Remove from Friends." Click on that, and they can't leave comments on your page any more.

3. Post an exceptionally good article on your FaceBook page every day or every other day or once a week or whatever. Your friends will see these and if the post looks interesting, they'll read it. This keeps the mission alive in others and increases their knowledge. It also introduces uninitiated people to the cause because often your friends will put some of your posts on their page, so you're helping to spread awareness and information on Islamic supremacism, which is the most important thing that needs to be done right now.

Make your post on FaceBook look good. It helps give your posts a certain amount of credibility and authority when they're well done. Here's how: Go to an article you want to share and copy the URL. Then go to your FaceBook page and click on "Post Link." Paste the URL there and click on "Preview." It will show the title of the article and a little bit of the article. Click on the title and change it if you want. Usually, for example, it will say the name of the blog, and then the title. You can remove the name of the blog to make the title shorter and more eye-catching.

Now go back to the article (in a different window) and take the juiciest, most enticing, intriguing two paragraphs in the article and select them. Right click and copy the text. Go back to FaceBook and click on the text below the title and paste your paragraphs there. Then click "Post." Now you've got a good-looking post with a pithy excerpt that will make people want to read the article.

If you use FaceBook mainly for friends and family (or business), and if your friends and family don't like your interest in the freedom movement (counterjihad), you can sign up on FaceBook as a different name, and just use it for promoting freedom in the way I've described above. Then you can sign in as either identity.

Another alternative is to keep your identity on FaceBook, but post a link or article only every week or so. Keep it low-key. And post "beginner" material — the kind of thing that might not offend too many people, but still says something valuable.

Sometimes someone in your family may make a comment on one of your posts, arguing with you or criticizing you or the article. If this happens and you don't know how to answer it, please write to me and I'll help you formulate an answer. I'm serious about this. I want to know what people are saying. This is where the battle is taking place — right at the point where someone who knows about the third jihad says something to someone who doesn't, and the response is negative. If we don't handle those moments well, we will lose this war. It's that simple.

So write to me. I will help you, and I will probably post the answer as an article too, because if someone says it to you, others are probably hearing the same retort.

4. Post a good political cartoon or picture that says a thousand words. You can post a picture one of two ways: You can download the picture onto your computer and then upload it onto FaceBook (by clicking on "Add Photos") or you can click on the picture wherever you find it. Usually clicking on a picture will take you to a page that has nothing on it but the picture. Now copy the URL and paste it into "Post Link." After it's posted, if the picture is small, you can edit the post. One of the options is to make it larger.

Pictures capture the eye. Each person on FaceBook has a home page and can see the activity of all their friends. Pictures you post on your page will really stand out on your friend's home page, and will attract attention. One of the reasons pictures are appealing is because they represent a very small investment of time. People know that, so they'll often take the moment and look at the picture. So post pictures once in awhile in addition to articles.

By using FaceBook in these ways, you can join with others, you can help gain recruits to the cause, you can help educate the public, and you can lend your weight to many worthy causes. Join the FaceBook revolution and defeat the third jihad using one of our most powerful weapons: Freedom of speech.

Here are some causes I recommend you join right away:

1. 1,000,000 against Jihad

2. Citizens' Declaration of Threat & Plea for Relief

3. 2 Million people against Female Genital Mutilation

4. The Truth about Islam

5. "Wake Up!!!!" campaign against Honor Killing

6. Stop Islamisation Of Europe

The Adopt-a-Mosque Program

Awhile back, I read the book, Terrorist Hunter: The Extraordinary Story of a Woman Who Went Undercover to Infiltrate the Radical Islamic Groups Operating in America, and a particular passage has been gnawing at me. Rita Katz (a Jew working for an NGO intelligence agency) had dressed as a Muslim woman and was registering to attend one of the many talks scheduled at a Muslim convention in Chicago. Under her burka, she had a hidden recording device.

"The clerk at the front desk directed me to the registration table in a far corner of the lobby," Katz wrote. "A queue had already formed there. As I joined it, I began to get jittery. This was an IAP conference. Islamic Association for Palestine. Many of the attendees, therefore, would be Palestinian. Any of them would recognize from my accent that I was an Iraqi. What if they asked me about it? What if they asked me other questions? What if I got tripped up on some detail of my story? The people at the registration table were very suspicious of anyone they didn't recognize or who didn't look Middle Eastern. They grilled several people standing in line. Some of the answers they approved, and those people they signed up. But just ahead of me in line was a guy who didn't look Mediterranean. Nor did he speak Arabic. They asked him a few questions. He tried to explain himself, but the organizers weren't buying his story. They were polite — and very firm that he was not getting in."

There are several points I'd like to make here about this incident, and then I have an idea for a possible action we can take. First off, Rita Katz looked Middle Eastern and she spoke Arabic, so she got in. And they preached firey jihad against the West and promoted sedition and the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. This was taking place in Chicago.

Second, these Muslims were practicing racial profiling. They were guilty of discrimination based on race.

Now, here's my idea. What if we went in groups of five or six (for safety) and brought either a hidden camera, an audio recorder, or a newspaper reporter with us, and tried to get into these conferences? Would they throw us out? If they did, isn't that newsworthy? Are they being racist? What do they have to hide?

What if this happened to mosques and Islamic conferences all over the United States and Europe? One of two things would happen, both of them good for the cause. Either Muslims would be publicly exposed as racist and secretive, or they would let non-Muslims into their conferences and Friday sermons. So either they would get bad press as racist, or non-Muslims would be monitoring what they say inside these normally-Muslim-only communication stations.

This seems like a legitimate and viable form of protest that could be taken without any violence. It would have to be done carefully so anyone trying it would be safe — like going with a group, making sure people knew where you were, keeping your cellphone on you, etc.

I think this idea has some merit. What do you think?

Why Won't People Listen?

If you have ever tried to tell friends and family about the dangers of Islam (and I certainly HOPE you have!) you've probably run into what seems to be a brick wall, at least occasionally. People seem to deliberately refuse to understand what you mean. Why?

In an article at Political Islam, Bill Warner has a great list of what's getting in the way of people really listening to you. He says, "Once you understand the doctrine of political Islam, there is a question that naturally arises. Why doesn't everyone know about this? ...It is not only that we don't know, we have also developed a systemic social theory of why we will not learn."

Those of us who want to reach the people who do not yet know what we know (and I should think that includes all of us) better clearly understand what this brick wall is made of, so we can fashion ways over or around it.

I think Warner's list is good. Probably a few more things could be added to it.

His list is (he explains each in more detail in the article):

1. Inertia
2. What will we have to do?
3. I know this Muslim and he is nice.
4. Afraid of being called a bigot.
5. Islam cannot be worse than Christianity, so why learn?
6. It's too hard; non-Muslims cannot learn Islam.
7. Fear.

I would add that you sometimes see a look in someone's eyes that says, "I think you're one of those nutballs who gets obsessed with some obscure paranoid threat, and I don't know if I should encourage this by listening."

Calling All Bloggers

On September 27th this year, thousands of bloggers will be publishing articles on ending abuse. I thought it might be a great opportunity to awaken a wider audience to the danger of Islamism for the Infidel Blogger's Alliance to post articles here and elsewhere on the abuse women suffer under Shari'a law.

What women have to live with every day in an Islamic state will probably put to shame most of what others will write about.
