-♻RetweetOnline Jihadis Arrested in Austria

Wed, Sep 12, 2007 at 10:49:51 am PDT

The Jawa Report has interesting details on the three members of the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) arrested in Austria: Three GIMF Online Jihadis Arrested in Austria.

GIMF is the European propaganda arm in support of al Qaeda and other radical Islamists organizations. They are also longtime ‘friends’ of The Jawa Report. GIMF operative know who we are. As such can I be the first to say ha-ha!

The video was first released on GIMF’s Voice of the Caliphate online television station in March of this year. The station regularly played al Qaeda produced propaganda. It was especially supportive of the Chechen jihad. The “station” still maintains, although no longer updates, a website on Google’s blogspot platform here.

In addition to showing and distributing al Qaeda produced videos from al Furqan and as Sahab, GIMF produces it’s own documentaries in support of jihad. Recently al Qaeda in Iraq sent a thank you note to GIMF for their supportive propaganda efforts.

The web based TV station is no longer active, but GIMF is. Most GIMF publications are now released through Islamist forums. They still do videos, including the release of the hostage video of Fox News reporters Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, but their mainstay has always been an online print magazine.

The group is also responsible for the release of the terrorist “training” video game, “The Night of Bush Capturing”. The climax of the game is one-on-one combat against President George W. Bush.

And only a day or two after Petraeus emphasized stepping up the fight against cyberterrorism. Though I'm sure this was in the works beforehand.

GIMF? Is that anything like PIMF?

A note to the libs: This would be a terrorist Media cell, as opposed to a political or militant cell.

“The Night of Bush Capturing"

Sounds like a bad 70's porn movie.

now this is just sad...

maybe they should have done all of thier trolling in saudi arabia

These guys aren't that hard to find, and the Europeans could easily round them up if they only tried. Reporters from Germany's Die Zeit and Spiegel TV were able to interview GIMF leaders simply by requesting an interview in the comments at their now defunct website.

Let see, round them up or die, round them up or die. Let me sleep on that.

Though for them, "The Night of Sheep Capturing" would likely be more popular in the porn market.

Speaking of Austria & the jihad, I meant to post this in yesterday's "poem-off" thread:

...Dim drums throbbing, in the hills half heard,
Where only on a nameless throne a crownless prince has stirred,
Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half attainted stall,
The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall,
The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung,
That once went singing southward when all the world was young.
In that enormous silence, tiny and unafraid,
Comes up along a winding road the noise of the Crusade.
Strong gongs groaning as the guns boom far,
Don John of Austria is going to the war,...

I finally watched United 93 on the evening of September 10, in order to prepare myself for remembrances of Sept. 11. It's good to see that other countries are being vigilant about finding and locking up Islamofacists. It seems like the Europeans are waking up to and doing something about the enemies within their midst.

After watching United 93, I was troubled. Have we learned anything since then? Is our military more prepared. Do we have leaders (civilian AND military) with the "balls" to make hard decisions? Can we please start profiling the right people (youngish Arab men and women) instead of wasting our time at airports taking off shoes?

I would like to read about more U.S. nabbing of suspected terrorists. This would give me a bit more confidence that we would be able to stop another 9/11. Surely there are more arrests than we know about (I would HOPE).
