The Muslim Brotherhood - spamming the blogosphere
http://whataretheysaying.powerblogs.com/posts/1173286873.shtml


   As the [1]financial hub of the billion dollar Islamist terrorist
   network, it's no surprise that the [2]Muslim Brotherhood has a very
   active public relations department.

   It is suprising to discover that they're spamming the blogs.

   Two years ago, I wrote a post about the Brotherhood's branch office in
   the United States, the [3]Muslim American Society. I titled that post
   [4]The Muslim American Society: Not Moderate.

   I got a comment from a [5]"Fared Mohammed" who basically cut and
   pasted the Muslim Brotherhood's FAQ page into my comments box.

   The funny part is, if you google Fared Mohammed, you'll see that he's
   done the same thing on a whole lot of blogs, pro-Brotherhood blogs
   like Juan Cole's, and anti-Brotherhood ones like, well, mine.

   I'd have to guess that "Fared Mohammed" is a bot (carbon or
   silicon-based) that searches the blogs for the mention of Moderate
   Muslims and the Muslim Brotherhood together.

   As [6]M. Simon of [7]Power and Control noted, the Brotherhood links to
   [8]some posts that are critical of the Brotherhood, when said
   criticism is not overt. I was once linked to by the Stormfront, who
   seemed to use the same criteria. Zealots don't get subtlety.

   Terrorism and spam. We all knew they have to get together sometime.
