Hackers Declare War On Al Qaeda To Avenge Charlie Hebdo Massacre

In revenge for the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the Anonymous hackers declared war on Al Qaeda and jihadist websites.


The Belgian hackers posted a video online addressed to “al Qaida, the Islamic State and other terrorists.”

In the video, which was uploaded to the hacking group’s YouTube account, a man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and a hood says in a distorted French voice, “We are declaring war against you, the terrorists.”

In declaring cyber war against jihadist groups, Anonymous said it would protect free speech from “obscurantism and mysticism.” The hackers expressed their disgust at the “cowardly and despicable acts,” and offered their condolences to the families of the murdered victims and said it was now their duty to react.

“Disgusted and also shocked, we can’t fall down, it is our responsibility to react. Expect a massive reaction from us.”

Do you think they will be effective?

Do you think they will be effective?

At least as effective as a hashtag campaign.
In other words, not effective at all.

The only way to counter terrorists is to kill the ones here and now and reshape the culture so there is no terror tomorrow. Tearing down their e-posters and hacking their websites to show gifs of Mohammed fellating Allah to the dulcet sounds of Slayer isn't going to do anything.

I hope they make it very difficult for the terrorists to recruit. And I hope they hack enough to where the cartoons that were so offensive, show up on terrorists websites.
