A report from the Wiesenthal Center shows that racist, extremist and terrorist groups
are using the Internet to fundraise, recruit members and market their causes.
Extremist
and hate groups are becoming more proficient at using the Internet to raise funds
and recruit members, according to

 

“Digital Terrorism and Hate 2004”, the sixth volume of the Wiesenthal Center’s annual
report of over 4,000 “problematic Web sites”. Like legitimate non-profit and charitable
organisations, these groups are embracing the low-cost and global fundraising tool
that the Internet offers.
