Posts on a Jordanian
based internet hate site bulletin board hosted by an internet service provider
based in Atlanta, Ga. are discussing what they say are plans for a campaign
to poison Americans when they go out to eat at restaurants.
The information here is reportedly coming from a "trustworthy source."
The report was apparently posted with a view toward warning Muslims about
upcoming plans. The post appears to say that the writer is not someone who
believes that Muslims who support American owned businesses deserve death
by poisoning. The writer says that those who haven't up until now boycotted
American restaurants need to do so in the near future and spread the warning
to others.
A comment from another writer immediately following reads that after the
news about the alleged attack spreads, that American restaurants will increase
supervision over food preparation to the point that it will be very difficult
to poison food.
When another poster commented that it was important for the safety of Muslims
to post such a warning as this, someone else seemed to disagree, apparently
commenting that those Muslims who eat at American restaurants don't care
about the blood of the Palestinian children (who the implications seems to
be) have been killed by the Americans.
With that in mind, the individual continues that he or she isn't going to
waste a lot of time upon those who support the enemy. The writer apparently
hopes that the subject is quickly deleted because "god" (presumably Allah)
wants to hear about a mass poisoning in American restaurants.
The last post on this shocking thread appears to be that after this news
that "people (presumably Muslims) will become the bitterest enemies of the
American edibles," (in other words, they'll stay away!) but the writer's duties
will have been done.
As you process the shocking nature of these posts, please bear in mind that
I am not in any way vouching for their validity. A proposed attack upon American
restaurants may or may not be in the works. Obviously, I hope that it's just
the hateful ramblings of some demented people who have no intention or ability
of carrying out their actions. But you never know, and that's why I thought
it was important to pass this information on. (My educated guess is that
you're not going to hear about this from the government, even though law
enforcement authorities have been informed).
Note that because this site is in Arabic, this article makes use of a poor
but nonetheless still relatively helpful automated Arabic-English translation
tool available on line by clicking here.
I have tried to give you what I believe is the gist of the message from the
muddled English text that this service sometimes gives.
The contact for the site is listed as Palestine News in Nablus, Ramallah.
The site appears to be hosted by dv2.net. I suggest that you contact the ISP
at any of the following addresses and ask them to take the site down immediately.
