The AP is reporting that, “Several current and former WebOps employees cited multiple examples of civilian Arabic specialists who have little experience in counter-propaganda, cannot speak Arabic fluently and have so little understanding of Islam they are no match for the Islamic State online recruiters. ‘It’s hard to establish rapport with a potential terror recruit when, as one former worker told the AP, translators repeatedly mix up the Arabic words for ‘salad’ and ‘authority.’ That’s led to open ridicule on social media about references to the ‘Palestinian salad.’”
Darn. And Trump just told our best sources of Arabic language specialists and Islam specialists to go jump off a bridge. What a pity. Is this part of Trump’s yet undisclosed plan to defeat ISIS? They laugh themselves to death?
