Pakistani Taliban recruiting via Facebook
PESHAWAR: The Pakistani Taliban has set up a page on Facebook to recruit enthusiasts to write for a quarterly magazine and to edit video, a spokesman confirmed Friday.
The Umar Media TTP page, which has more than 270 likes, appears to have been created in September and has just a handful of messages written in English.
“Umar Media is proud to announce online jobs oppertunities (sic),” says the first post on the networking website, written on October 25.
“Job discription (sic) is video editing, translations, sharing, uploading, downloading and collection of required data,” it says, giving an email address and asking readers to “plz spread it. This fb account ma be deleted.”
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan confirmed to AFP by telephone on Friday that the faction was “temporarily” using the page “to fulfill its requirements” before launching its own website.
US-based organisation SITE Intelligence Group says the TTP uses Facebook as “a recruitment centre”.
“Through its official media arm, Umar Media, the TTP has taken to Facebook to recruit contributors for their media work and the group’s forthcoming publication ‘Ayah-E-Khilafat’ (Sign of the Caliphate),” it said in a statement.
The TTP Facebook page describes the publication as its “official quarterly magazine” and asks writers to submit articles “on (a) topic of your choice”, or on jihadi current affairs, history, Islamic movements or the plight of Muslims.

If they set up a discussion forum on their upcoming website, will they be advertising positions for mods as well? :cb:
how can such a pure Islamic movment use kuffar’s internet and what if a woman visits their site , would they close down the site. Can women apply for these posts? In the TTP world is any women even intelligent enough when compared to the geniuses who run this organisation. Can Malala apply?
maybe head polo, shooting competitions and awards to the family members for the best suicide bombers…
