this is GREAT! Finally, western civilization is fighting back! so here's my question--if these jihadis can be convicted of cyber terrorism and threatening people, WHY can't imams who preach the same drivel in mosques also be charged?

So how will the British and thier unions deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism?
By boycotting the Jews, of course:

The Transport and General Workers' Union is, unfortunately, the latest UK union to endorse a boycott of Israel.

The subject matter expert seemed very nervous. At one point she was pretty obviously reading her material.

The presenter was extremely smug and condescending. She's got a future at CBS if she ever decides to move out of jolly olde Englande when the jihadis take over.

It didn't seem occur to anyone that these sites are left up so it can be determined whether anyone is in fact using them and, if so, who?

It might be fun to alter the bomb manuals in order to cause defects, ;-)

However, far scarier are the Bosnian terrorists, who appear in this vid. They just drip with evil - chilling men, and thank God they are in custody.

Yeah. Political correctness requires that we wait until they've 'harmed someone.' Then we start taking the steps of trying to open dialogue with them. After all, surely they will listen to reason once we show them our compassion and patience.

15 transient  Thu, Jul 5, 2007 2:12:14pm

Love that nonsense about 'even the US, which has been less reluctant to infringe on civil liberties' (paraphrase) --bah! The Euros are the ones making certain types of speech illegal if it offends or demonizes any group.

But surely something can be done here about the jihadi sites, I hope.

It's hard to say and I am not an expert but I'll take a stab at it ...

Does it mean the ISP is in the US?

Most likely yes. What it almost certainly means is that the network has been assigned to an entity in the US.

The creator of the site and the ISP are both in the US?

It's very difficult to verify where the creator of the site is, as all they need is internet access (which can be obtained anywhere on or near the surface of the earth, really).

Can an Isp located in the US host sites that are uploaded from another country?

Of course! And in fact several of the sites they were talking about were illegally modified (read: hacked) to host content not intended by the site's authors or owners.

28 Mich-again  Thu, Jul 5, 2007 2:29:40pm

Its not a freedom of speech issue when a website promotes murder and terrorism. It should be treated no differently than if the person were standing on a soapbox on a crowded street preaching the same jihadi message.

So I really don't understand why we let jihadis operate websites at all. I have no problem with anyone talking politics and criticizing foreign policy, but once they start advocating suicide bombing and attacks on US military or civilian targets the games over.

The website providers should be held accountable for the content they host. If they refuse to shut down jihadi sites, they should be charged along with the people providing the content.

Koskidz discover the source of terrorism; Right Wing Fascists.....
BBC VIDEO: when intel faked terror attacks in Europe

BBC News tells the story from the beginning, interviewing former heads of the CIA, foreign intelligence leaders, real Red Brigade terrorists, and those who infiltrated and redirected their efforts to serve right wing interests.
...
You might recall that the FBI had an informant living with two of the 9/11 hijackers. They also had an informant in the 1993 WTC bombing ring. According to the New York Times, that guy started taping his FBI handlers, when they told him to give the bombers real explosives instead of harmless powder. So are our intel services incompetent, or following the same model of setting up patsies to do terrorist attacks?
...
The Brits were caught doing this in Iraq, and Israel has carried out these kind of operations against us in the Lavon Affair, and it was probably the intent of the USS Liberty incident as well.
...
If you don't want the war on terror to last the rest of our lives, we need to eventually get this piece in the debate, and force Congress to investigate it,...

While I do spend some time checking out the jihadists every week to see what they're up to, when the day comes that half a dozen black Chevy Suburbans pull into my driveway I think my ability to recall half a dozen Ronald Reagan quotes from memory while getting misty eyed in the process will save me from Gitmo. Not so for the jihadists.

It is a known fact by those of us who have been grouped, and fighting these jihadi' filth on the net by spamming their websites,channels and videos, ...that we have no help from U.S. Agencies, OR "Google", You Tube, Broadcaster .com,Live Leak, My Space, etc. etc.
I have a friend from Greece, who is now an American Citizen, who has received daily Death Threats, because of her knowledge of the Koran she uses to dispute them,... and Google, You Tube and as of yesterday, The F.B.I. has done nothing, to help pursue these individuals that are the jihadi who post video of American Soldiers being Killed, various other VERY Anti-American propaganda, etc.
If any of you would like to do a small part in helping fight these scum, just go to you tube, and type in Islam in the search bar, go to their video, and blast them, or refute them. their are other things to type in , like 'American Soldiers', Jihad, Mujahdeen,[?] etc., etc. You get the Idea..

Any help you give will be to help America and our Soldiers against this filth.
YOU guys on here are smart enough to do something! FIGHT where YOU can!

Unfortunately, due to the structure of the Labor Party, Organized unions, such as the TGWU have power quite disproportinate to their actual numbers. I'm afraid that unless Labor is voted out, this sort of thing will just continue and Labor, rather than alienating its base, will play along. I'd like to think that a Tory government would be an improvement, but I don't know if the Brits still have the guts to deal with the problem. Things like the inability to describe terrorists as moslems, for instance, despite the input of Brussells and the EU, have me worried.

I don't disagree with your take on this. I don't see it as a freedom of speech issue either for them to be shut down. Before they get shut down though, I want investigators to catch as many as they can while leaving it up to trace them. You never know how deep this stuff goes and their footprints that are found on the internet can be very useful in breaking up terrorist rings.

I could easily support legislation that exposes their internet tracks to investigators and was disturbed to hear that libraries were fighting the gov't on giving up listings of jihadi type books checked out or who was using their computers to visit such sites. Last I checked that was our tax dollars running libraries. Then I began to really get pissed when I saw their banned books included much loved books that I read as a kid. Mkay...don't help the gov't nail terrorists but at all costs..don't let kids read those banned books!

To say nothing of the unions being major fund contributors to the Labour party. Labour and the unions have always been affiliated, like two peas in a pod. The British Government won't deal with the problem satisfactorily any time soon, the Tories are an absolute mess with 40% of their supporters going absolutely spare because David Cameron is an absolute disaster as a conservative.

The British people, however, are getting more pissed off with things every day, 'cos they want to be governed by people who will call a spade a spade and do something positive that takes their views into consideration. Sooner or later, we may just decide to start doing it for them.

Right out of the gate the interviewer asks whether, since nobody has been harmed yet, jihadi bomb instructors should be arrested, etc.

The interviewer's subsequent questions could have been completely left out, including her smug attitude. Seems she was more suspicious of the US than the jihadis. She just got in the way of an informative journalist's report.

76 ChildOfMary  Thu, Jul 5, 2007 3:05:00pm

Found this article linked from Jihad Watch. Written by Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress.

Some quotes:

The current state of affairs in Britain is not just the fault of the Islamists and their apologists.

It is also the fault of politicians such as Tony Blair, who, after foolishly entrenching Islamists at every level in British society, then lied about weapons of mass destruction and helped U.S. President George W. Bush launch his illegal invasion of Iraq. Blair set up state-funded Islamic schools and knighted a known Islamist, a person who had defended the death sentence on Salman Rushdie.

To make matters worse, Blair endorsed and funded the so-called "Radical Middle Way" for British Muslim clerics. This "middle way" has become a front for all those who provide convoluted academic analysis, explaining the root causes of Islamic terrorism and falsely promising the British taxpayer that they will counter the ideology of hate against secular societies.

...

Even the new British prime minister failed to take the bull by the horns. Instead of stating that there was no room for jihadi ideology in Britain and challenging the Islamic organizations to join him, Gordon Brown coyly referred to "moderate majorities" and "extreme fringes."

Time has come for this to change.

Time has come for ordinary Britons and Canadians to say that if our politicians do not have the spine to stand up to the Islamists, we will. We have to say to those apologizing for Islamists, "Enough is enough," and stand up to the Jihadis and Jihadi-Lites.

...

Muslim organizations must come out and state clearly that the only laws that matter in Canada are the laws of this country, not medieval shariah laws of the ninth century.

If they do not reject the doctrine of jihad as an option for Muslims, they should be considered part of the problem, not the solution.

Couldn't it be argued that, in order to uphold the first amendment and protect the freedom of speech, those who would coordinate, enact, or teach others how to perform terrorist acts should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

I mean, I realize that the answer is probably no, but considering these bastards don't believe in free speech and will do away with it if given the opportunity to squelch the opposition (read: infidel; read: USA), wouldn't it be prudent to protect the first amendment?

You want to put a stop to this tonight, pass legislation that all owners of any provider located on U.S. soil and its territories serve mandatory 25 years in solitary confinement for allowing jihadi bomb making material to reside on their server.

And if you look or even act Muslim, the penalty goes to life without parole or death by electrocution - and the general public gets to vote.

I'd wage a large sum of money that the "freedom of speech" argument would quickly become a moot point.

Mike, people are already making suggestions, and, indeed, clever use of asterisks, other odd HTML characters, bold, italics, etc, while not as useful in promulgating vital information, can still play a vital role.


Like taking the A-10 Warthog out of service, and using the A-1 Skyraider instead for close ground support.

Not quite as effective, but tough times call for tough measures.

I can't say I understand the reasoning behind any of your argument, but that second part has really lost me. (and to be honest is sort-of offensive too)

The reason one cannot pass legislation is because it would be considered unconstitutional, and over turned. Secondly, if you are promoting bomb making material, and Islamist Propaganda, what would it matter if you are Muslim or not?

Lastly, and probably the lamest part of your suggestion is that last quoted line above as it rest solely on one "looking" or "acting" Muslim. A bit broad of a net don't you think? That would include Indians, Israelis, Native Born Christian Arabs, Jewish Arabs, Whites, Blacks, Asians, etc. (What exactly does a "Muslim" look like? You want to make that "Arab" then I would at least know what to look for, but the idea is still emensely flawed as it would include at a minimum the first four of the aformentioned "groups" ) I won't even get into "acting" Muslim.

Serious question for those that know more the me (that would include most of you):
I know that we import Mexicans so I don't have to pay $12.00 for a head of lettuce, but why the hell do we let ANY muslims into this country?

So we don't have to pay $12 a pack for smokes at your local gas/party/package/convenience place...

/UnPC

Seriously, they did a LOT of the 'immogrant labor' thing in the factories and salt mines (yes, salt mines) here for quite a while.
Now, there are lots of 'anchor' families bringing relatives over.
And, mostly, they're not a problem. Rumor is, the community is largly self policing. Granted, there are the radicals, and we NEED to know who THEY are and watch / deport them, but MOSTLY they ARE decent people who work hard and assimilate well by the 2nd generation.
Except for the clothes, and you can still see many 'ethnic' folks in different areas who have funny hats (Jewish men, in particular) or wear scarves over their hair (Polish, Italian grandmothers)
So there ARE reasons.
As well as reasons to be careful.

Bodyguardeagle, that is a bit of an unfair comment. Many posters here comment regularly at YouTube and various other places online. Never assume that simply because no one has commented on your off-topic post that no one cares.

re: #104 galloping granny

Thanks for the reply, but I fail to see that since the article is about 'web jihad' that my post was off thread, and many of the 'weather comments' are..

I realize that I'm not an oldster here, and that I may not have the regular 'status of some. But, even as a 'newbie', just because I asked a question, doesn't mean that I assumed anything.

109 Mich-again  Thu, Jul 5, 2007 3:27:46pm

Some TJ3 wisdom from a couple centuries ago.

"More than a generation will be requisite [for an unprepared people], under the administration of reasonable laws favoring the progress of knowledge in the general mass of the people, and their habituation to an independent security of person and property, before they will be capable of estimating the value of freedom, and the necessity of a sacred adherence to the principles on which it rests for preservation." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1815. ME 14:245

More than a generation? Umm, Run-DNC says 3 years is long enough to declare complete failure. And who's smarter? Thomas Jefferson or Howard Dean. Duh. Which one is a Dr.?

re: #99 BODYGUARDEAGLE
Yes, I get upset about the jihadists. I notify the site admins of WordPress or Blogger or YouTube whenever I see it. At that point I assume that they ask their own lawyers about the ramifications of hosting such stuff. I assume (a big guess, but not without some experience in such matters) that they notify Homeland Security or the FBI. The fact that a lot of the stuff stays up after notification tells me one of two things:
1). They have now notified the proper folks. Such folks are now going to track the traffic in and out of such sites. Which could very well be a very good thing.
2). They don't care if they could go to jail and lose their business.

You're not terribly bright, are you?

If you couldn't figure out 90% of that was tongue-in-cheek, then I suggest you get a girlfriend who can help you with the social graces. You're beyond my help.

But if you think I'm going to walk on eggshells on account of something you don't like, I suggest you start cuffing it. You're going to be waiting a long time.

The other thing you have to be careful about is commenting and watching the video. Sometimes evil only has the power we give it and little else.
By commenting, and by watching, you are increasing the popularity ratings of the vids. Better to just flag them and notify the management. You also by commenting encourage the jihadi, who says "Aha! I am having some effect! See the enraged comments I am getting?"

That's what bugs me about links to KOS from here. How much less traffic would they have if Charles didn't link them every other day? On the other hand, as insipid as KOS is, they aint the real enemy.

I agree to some degree with you about the number of 'hits a video gets and the flagging, but I always comment in a civil tone and just rebut anything they say with fact which always enrages them when you can give sources for everyone else to see also.

I watch (as much as I can stomach) and then flag, but never comment; for the reason you give.
I noticed today that DinnerJacket has jailed a bunch of the "gas station bombers" in Iran based on the videos that got posted on YouTube. There is talk of death penalty already. Right now, I don't have an completely trustworthy translation or I would post it.

OK,..Sorry,.It looks like I probably Killed the thread this time, so I'll just leave you guys with my thought on this...I know it matters to some of you, the others at least will have something to think about if they will.

I believe that if every patriotic American who owns a computer and wishes to fight this scum in some shape form or fashion, even though they can not be beside our soldiers there, would ALL at least go to one of these sites and and write a complaint to that site, and at least flag one or two videos of our soldiers getting killed, it WOULD make a difference.
NO action most always causes no results.

Thanks to those of you who commented to let me know that I am not alone here.

That's silly. Did you get offended because there weren't a rash of enthusiastic and detailed answers to YOU, or to your IDEA? There's a difference.

Many posts never receive a reply for one reason or another. Most, I would think! I did not reply to your comment because I am not one who knows how to do much on the net besides read. I don't go to the Tube. I think most of the people here are already doing as much as they can, and some are more qualified than others to do so. I think most of the people here are on the right side in all this and don't need to be urged to do something, neither do they need to be chided for not answering your particular post.

I guess the easiest way to tell and show you is to ask you to go to [sic] Google, and type my user name (BODYGUARDEAGLE) in the search bar, and read all of my comments posted on there. How ever it happened, either inadvertently by my not specifying NOT to link You tube with Google or if the Islamics just transferred them, I don't know, but about 99% of my comments to these scum are linked there.

Maybe that will help, otherwise, I don't know how to belay your doubts, other than my word, ...THAT " I'M AN AMERICAN BY THE GRACE OF GOD...SOUTHERN BY BIRTH AND CHOICE..."

Thanks, for your insight and your honesty. I was not offended by either, but got the desired reaction I was after. Did my post offend you? I'm sorry if it did, because I was trying to solicit comments to see how many people would go back and then reply and how well they read the post.

It was for my own questions of how many even read the comment and how much of it they read.

I do apologize if it offended you in any way, that was not my intention

Hey, Kasper, Great work, as always!

Would you please make a point of sharing Channel Four's IMPORTANT (and exceptionally RARE) exploration of "The War on Britain's Jews"?

From posted interview with host, Richard Littlejohn:

"... But there is this assumption that anti-Semitism is something that's just made up by the Jews, and nobody else would ever really pay any attention to it.

... When I went up to Manchester for this film, I saw that they were putting on patrols on a Friday night so that the Jews could go to worship without being attacked. It was like when the army had to escort kids to school in Northern Ireland. Except there, the world was horrified. Yet the situation in Manchester is ignored - it's not considered a story.

If it was an Islamic school, it would be the lead story on Channel 4 and the BBC, and Panoramas about it every night of the week. Yet I didn't even know this existed. The media isn't interested in anti-semitism.

...(Belittlers will say) anything rather than acknowledge the truth. I couldn't care less. But watch the programme, read the parliamentary report, open your eyes. This is going on.

DemoCast.TV

UK viewers should all record it Monday, 9th of July, 8pm.
(And let me know how I can watch it through your SlingBox).
