The media is viewed by the Islamist terrorist organizations as one of the fronts of jihad against their enemies. The media platform most favored by activists and supporters of Islamist organizations is the Internet, due to its anonymity, availability, low cost and instantaneous communication. The organizations and their supporters disseminate their message via websites and forums in different languages, targeting diverse audiences worldwide. These organizations also utilize the Internet for military and operative purposes in the service of the jihad fighters in the field, but their primary use of this medium is for indoctrination and propaganda. They distribute various messages aimed mainly at glorifying the organizations' activities, spreading their extremist ideology and enlisting support and legitimacy, as well as threatening and influencing their enemies. This Internet activity is described as “propaganda jihad” or “media jihad”, waged by those who cannot participate in the actual fighting. Furthermore, Islamist sites constitute an arena of confrontation in their own right. These sites are targeted by hackers trying to disrupt their activity, and in turn encourage Islamist hackers to target “enemy” sites. Islamist organizations also confront the activities of elements suspected of being intelligence agents infiltrating their sites. In addition, the sites constitute an environment for Arab attempts to initiate dialogue with the extremists in order to persuade them to renounce their extremist views. Finally, despite their view of the West as an enemy and of Western culture as corrupt, Islamist organizations do not hesitate to utilize the services of Western Internet companies, and many of their sites are hosted by Western servers. Consequently, it is largely up to the West to come up with solutions, by appointing a body that will issue warnings to the public about sites that disseminate incitement and encourage terrorism, or through legislation that will ban this activity.
