Malaysia Takes Action On Anti-Islam Internet Surfers
Insulting Islam on the Internet in Malaysia could
prove costly from now on, as the government has
warned that offenders face fines of up to $1,300
and/or three years in prison. This draconian
warning came from Abdul Hamid Othman, a minister
in the Malaysian Prime Minister's Department
Monday, when he said that any Muslim world
Internet surfers who insult the Prophet Mohammed
and the Koran, the Muslim equivalent of the bible,
on the Internet, face dire consequences. The legal
action, he said, will be taken under Syariah
criminal law - the Law of Mohammed - which all
Muslim states adopt. Othman's comments are likely
to attract condemnation from Western Internet
users and experts, many of whom, say Islamic
proponents, do not understand the teachings of
the Prophet Mohammed.

Cyberterrorism Is Not Just for Kids
Cyberterrorism is real, said the speakers at a
conference here on Monday on confronting online
terrorism and anti-Semitism, and it is no longer
child's play. "The terror has stopped being a
tactical threat and is becoming a strategic one
which influences public opinion and forces
governments to make decisions," said Shabtai
Shavit, chairman of the board of the International
Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) at
the one-day conference organized by the Anti
Defamation League and the Minister of Israeli
Society and the World Jewish Community. ICT's
webmaster, Yael Shahar, went into more detail
about the different types of what she preferred
to call "information terrorism", from electronic
warfare, where hardware is the target, and
psychological warfare, which involves inflammatory
content, to hacker warfare. It is this last which
is in fact cyberterrorism, she said.
