Anonymous Tries to Take Down ISIS with Moe Character
- 25 July 2015 -







[size=110]
"Ever since the Sunni rebel group, the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Da'esh) took control of much of northern Iraq in the summer of 2014, Western governments and neighboring countries have puzzled over how to fight it. Should they go for a direct military intervention, or restrict their involvement to air strikes? Can other local rebel groups be trusted to put up a resistance? Can anything be done to hinder the spread of its radical Islamic ideology? While Japan has played a limited role in these discussions, Japanese members of the international hacker group Anonymous have a very Japanese idea: turn the image of the Islamic State from a terrifying rebel group into a harmless teenage girl."

"As such, Twitter accounts belonging to individuals spreading pro-Islamic State messages are being bombarded by images of "ISIS-chan," a 19-year-old girl clad in a modified burqa. Instead of committing violence, she uses her knife to cut up melons, her favorite food."
