Isis exploits online loophole to spread murder videos and hate
Tens of thousands of Isis videos, speeches and publications have been shared on an internet archive site despite repeated warnings that it is being exploited to spread terrorism. Isis content that remains accessible on archive.org includes a 124-page booklet on manufacturing explosives made by the “Islamic Media Center” and a video of the Paris attacker pledging his allegiance to the Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before his rampage. The Counter Extremism Project, a nonprofit group, contacted the archive in 2015 and again in February this year, drawing attention to specific posts.
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
