The president of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), an American institute, has announced that [his institute] will launch a campaign [aimed at] monitoring some of the large Western video-sharing websites for expressions of hostility towards Islam, and in particular for what is known as 'Islamophobia.'

hopefully this will improve MEMRI's credibility among Arabs and Muslims who claim it's an anti Muslim website with an agenda.

the above is actually a translation from a Saudi newspaper that noticed MEMRI's announcement.

If it turns out to be more than window-dressing, then I applaud the effort. There's lots of Islamophobia-mongering about, let's wait and see how much they out it.

They've always been interested in various propaganda and disinformation techniques.

I wonder what the effect is of spamming people with negative images.

It's certainly not as incendiary as would be a handy list of links to Jew-hating videos. Looks like it might just be more hate-porn masquerading as a repudiation of hate: "Hatred is bad- now look at this, and this and this and this and this and..."

Hmm but think of the PR to be attained by taking the 'high road'; coincidentally right when certain developments are brewing in the homeland.

Maybe they'll choose their targets of exposure with a bit more - - selectivity - - ya think?
