J.M. Berger, an analyst and consultant on al-Qaeda and extremist groups as well as author of the book Jihad Joe: Americans Who Go to War in the Name of Islam , successfully launched an effort to troll jihadists who were using a hashtag to solicit media tips on Twitter.
According to terrorism and extremism expert J.M. Berger, al-Qaeda was using this hashtag to solicit ideas for media ops.
The hashtag translates to "suggestions for the development of jihadi media," Berger said.
After soliciting help, the jihadist hashtag was overtaken with people sending tweets mocking the hashtag's original purpose.
