Mosques in Netherlands Launch Anti-ISIL Twitter Offensive

Dutch mosques are going to take to social media in an effort to counter the flood of youths being recruited by terrorist organization ISIL.

Young  Muslims are being encouraged to offer counter-discussions about the negatives of ISIL on the internet, to engage sympathizers to turn away from extremism, the Algemeen Dagblad reports.

Yassin Elforkani of the Contact Institution Muslims and Government (CMO) tells the AD that Imams from a total of 380 mosques in The Netherlands have agreed to enforce this measure, to fight ISIL on its own battleground and in that way hope to recover it.
Currently, social media is being used as a base point from which propaganda about ISIL is beamed out to the entire online world. A continuous stream of extremist recruitment rhetoric holds strongly to the internet as its main communication center. This exercise hopes to recover that online ground back from ISIL.
