A shooting or bombing may be more than a simple crime: It may well have been prompted by one of the hate-filled Web sites that have increased from a handful a decade ago to more than 5,000, an expert says.
"There are no borders in this new kind of war," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, of the Los Angeles-based Wiesenthal Center, during a South Florida visit. "Someone who commits a crime may be influenced by someone on the other side of the world."
Cooper, associate dean at the center, gave his views Thursday at the Wiesenthal's South Florida office in Boca Raton. This week he addressed Miami-Dade police and Broward sheriff's deputies on the issue.
He says the granddaddy of such sites is Stormfront, a West Palm Beach-based site with the slogan "White Pride, World Wide." Founded as an online bulletin board in 1990, Stormfront bills itself as "the first, biggest, and fastest-growing pro-White Web site," with more than 72,000 members. . . .
