..and this forum is a hotbed of anti-Islamic hate speech, xenophobia, through to generalised calls to barbarous violence.
Off the top of my head, as per their recent written comments, these following AnandTech forum members are alligned with Anders Breivik:
- monovillage
- Incorruptible
- Geosurface
- OCGuy
The owners of this forum have made a managerial decision to welcome and host generalised anti-Islamic extremist rants and incitements. I recall just and rational decisions to cease hate speech upon blacks and Jews, but Muslims remain fair game.
As was ironically desired by
both the film makers and behind the scenes extremist political puppet masters in Middles Eastern states (embassies are easy and cheap easy targets to rally their own sheep for domestic political gain -- as with both World Trade Center attacks, London underground bombing, Bali, and Madrid rail acts, the USA and others are not strategic targets, simply fodder for domestic political rallying cries), the xenophobia and whipped up irrational anger and fear against any Muslim is rising in Europe and the USA. AnandTech will find its reputation thoroughly soiled when and if a member associated here (as Anders Breivik was upon other forum sites) opts for their personal mission of terrorism.
Moderation would be best to tighten the reigns right now. Too much extremist speech against a singular target has found a home here and it frightfully mirrors much of Goebbels' inciting propaganda against German and the rest of European Jews.
Supplant
Muslim for historical hate speech filled against
blacks and
Jews and we have direct parallels for whipping up supremacist and irrational fear.
