Supporters of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group decided to attract young recruits in their ranks with the help of an attractive animation language for them. The militants began shooting the cartoon about the adventures of Jihad warriors. However, experts believe that terrorists cannot achieve the desired result, BBC writes.
According to the London Center for Combating QULLIAM extremism, separate shots from the cartoon are located on one of the jihadist sites. The author of the article writes that Al -Qaeda Cartoon on the Arabian Peninsula is an exciting story about who exactly betrayed Islam and the Prophet. ”
"The purpose of the film is to convince young people to follow the footsteps of the jihad warriors. There are scenes based on real events, as well as scenes of the heroic exploits of Mujahideen on the prophet peninsula. We are talking about clashes, armed clashes and murders," the author writes.
He added that this film is "an alternative to the poison that our children and youth is shown on television." The article is illustrated by four personnel from the film.
The expert of the Center of QULLIAM and the former jihadist Noman Benotman draws attention to the fact that al-Qaeda uses new methods to make terrorism attractive to young people and even for children. ” But, according to him, this cartoon can lead to reverse results. "Many Muslim family will consider this an attempt to split into the family and undermine the authority of the parents," says Noman Benotman.
He also believes that al-Qaeda has so lost its former influence that she is forced to resort to such tricks.
Advisor to the US Government on the fight against terrorism and radical Islam specialist Will McCants deeply doubts that someone actually removes a similar cartoon. “But if this is true, and if this film is really similar to those personnel that appeared on the site, this means that al -Qaeda uses increasingly sophisticated methods to attract young people to their ranks,” he says. “They just have to start to produce toys,” adds McCants.
