hello my name is Martine D Domenico and
I know when you look at this title you
may feel confused puzzled
maybe a little worried but I’m here to
tell you that this is so much more than
we know you should not be worried in
fact you should be amazed I thought what
out of what technology has spiraled and
has what has become I think this is
exactly why I’m here to talk to you
today many young adults in our
generation do not know the specifics of
Isis where it began how it started what
threats they have posed but we do know
the use of social media like the backs
of our hands in fact raise your hand if
you know what Isis in fact raise your
hand if you know what insta is
abbreviated for reason why now raise
your hand if you know what Isis stands
for okay well as you can see this is a
much smaller number than when I asked
you to raise your hand
for what and so it’s abbreviated for no
one on that fault for this since it is
not a part of our education system I
know there’s a lack of information in
this field simply from teachers posing
questions and classrooms and students
having no idea how to answer them I know
I know if you’re seen Bernhard’s there’s
a colonel men’s club and not a current
events class that we can take in fact in
fact students students can only join
this club out of their own time and is
not a part of their own schedule what’s
going to feed you may see 300 people its
bombed in the Syrian bombing now what
does this truly mean how many people
were killed what what bomb where was
this on where did this bombing occur how
did this happen what events leading up
to this made this happen some may say
technology is easy to use while others
have a difficulty now Isis a widely
known of Isis which stands for Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant or ISIL
which is ISIL or at la McStay of Iraq
and al-sham which is Isis is it’s it’s
fluent in this technology most of their
rulers like Abu Bakar al-baghdadi
have banded in the use of social media
and recruitment of Isis soldiers doesn’t
it seem odd to you
overseas Isis members are using
technology the same exact apps that we
do Twitter Facebook Instagram
except they’re back they are using them
vastly differently 9 out of 10 high
school students use social media
according to CBS 4 Isis they have over
90,000 accounts Isis related accounts
following you are probably your friends
maybe some of your family members but
for Isis they have over 5,000 followers
on each one of their accounts according
to Time magazine Isis has the most
sophisticated propaganda machine out of
any terrorist organization it is a
global communication strategy that has
puzzled counterterrorism officials while
making significant strides amongst us
advocates 3004
Westerners have gone to Syria to join
Isis 200 have attempted to go to Syria
to join Isis but it is hard to discern
how many Isis sympathizers there are on
US soil so what is terrorism what have I
been speaking to you about today
terrorism is defined as the act of
violence and intimidation used for
political aims this is exactly what Isis
is doing when using social media in fact
they don’t simply just know how to use
it they are fluent in it their fluency
and Twitter has caused over a thousand
accounts to be suspended the anonymity
of social media is what makes the
detection so tricky it they’re able to
attacked fortunately most American
computer masterminds are able to detect
their encryption tools which were once
only accessible to America to to the
government intelligence agencies not
only it’s Isis imposing threats on
social media but they are there they are
simply taking Islamic beliefs and
spreading them throughout social media
Isis play in liliane lis post videos of
attacks beheadings and killings these
videos have made headlines on MSNBC Fox
CNN etc they have struck France Tunisia
Kuwait and even of a country similar to
ours England this is what puts the
severity into perspective when I read
these articles of women or Westerners
joining Isis I am amazed they simply
seemed so vulnerable and they seemed so
easy to manipulate all these women
attempting to join Isis range from all
different backgrounds coming from Denver
all the way to London they they have
become jihadist fighters and 550 women
are already raising the next generation
of jihadist fighters
some Westerners have gone to use their
expertise and help Isis with medical
assistance although most of the motives
are unknown there are they are though of
the ones known they are of a mixed
background no pilgrim fits one profile
they are ranging from rappers to X to
grandparents to students like us this is
not the first time this has happened in
American culture pilgrimages from China
and the Soviet Union simply proved how
in this case desire Trump’s reason Isis
sympathizers and recruiters feel the
need to join because they want to be a
part of a perfect social system and they
want to be a part of something that can
combat US forces sociologist Karl
Mannheim said quote wishful thinking has
always figured in human affairs and
quote the persuasion and intimidation of
Isis is what is what overcomes critical
thinking in 2014 three girls from Denver
attempted to travel to Syria they told
their parents that were going to the
library and in the next second they were
gone one stole $2,000 from her father
and she fled according to investigators
these girls have been planning to travel
to Isis for months before they all the
FBI could not detect all of their all
their online activity and that is where
the u.s. is at fault that is where we
are failing one of Isis’s motives is to
bring a perspective of utopia to the
Western Hemisphere based on recent based
on a recent poll of people that have
immigrated to Isis
what Westerners feel the need to join
because they want to express their hate
for prejudices against Muslims what
these women’s claims themselves as
victims but how are they putting
themselves in this pose
Prime Minister David Cameron has spoken
much about this topic and he has said
that Isis makes themselves look victim
like an iconic instead of villainous and
murderous in a study based on the recent
pilgrims to Islam state they have all
said that they push again they push
aside threatening information and
instead they they make a sense of utopia
from what they hear of Isis on social
media today I’m not here to scare you
about what Isis is doing overseas and
how they are how their how their
presence in the United States here is so
large it is so much larger than me
standing here and telling you all these
facts instead I hope you came out of
today feeling enlightened feeling like
you found something new and feeling like
there’s something so much more something
that you can take from this speech thank
you
[Applause]
