SNIPPET: "I. When considering the matter of jihadis online, remember that most of what we think we know is based on analyses of the comments made by an handful of vocal activists. The vast majority of jihadis online, be they on forums or social networking sites[i], say nothing. Skillful translations and insightful analyses by definition tell us little about this potentially lethal yet silent majority."

UK Islamist Leader: Islam Will Dominate America
By Erick Stakelbeck
CBN News Terrorism Analyst
Friday, August 10, 2012
SNIPPET: LONDON Theyve been called megaphone jihadists, radical Muslims who take to the streets of Western cities demanding Islamic sharia law.
Its a rising movement in Europe that also shows signs of growth in America.
Meet Anjem Choudary
SNIPPET: Choudarys public support for jihad against British troops keeps his group on the radar of the countrys intelligence services.
Some of his followers have been arrested on terrorism charges.
SNIPPET: But Choduary gives no guarantees whether that will be the case. For now, hes encouraged by the Islamist regimes coming to power as result of the so-called Arab Spring and takes it as a sign that his goal of a global caliphate is inevitable.

UK Muslim Leader: Islam Not a Religion of Peace
By Erick Stakelbeck
CBN News Terrorism Analyst
Monday, April 05, 2010
WASHINGTON
SNIPPET: Choudary is the leader of Islam4UK, a group recently banned in Britain under the countrys counter-terrorism laws. He wants Islamic Sharia law to rule the United Kingdom and is working to make that dream a reality.
While Islamic radicals in the United States usually prefer to speak in more moderate tones while in public, masking their true agenda, Choudary has no such inhibitions.
SNIPPET: Choudary says his group is merely following core Islamic teachings and that Islam is much more than a religion.

SNIPPET: “Dear Israel, you have a problem.
First off, you have retired senior security officials whose email accounts have been compromised. Those accounts are being used now to distribute what is almost certainly malware wrapped in a .rar archive.”

“IRGC & Co. bag another online dissident”
(August 13, 2012)
SNIPPET: “I can’t say with certainty that the police acted against Maryam based on Yarahmadi’s work, but given how well-connected he is, that is a reasonable suspicion (and it was clearly his intent to publicly identify her has a threat to the regime).
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: While guys like Yarahmadi may be in Iran, there are many more like them out there, they are all on Facebook, and they are not all in Iran. You can sit there and say “gee, that’s too bad” or you can you join the hunt. The country you help may be your own, because this isn’t about being nice to persecuted Iranian college students - however much one might sympathize them. It is about defending the rest of us from Khamenei and his legion of thugs who, even without nuclear weapons, represent a serious threat to our national interests and security.”

Treasury Issues General License to Aid Iranian Earthquake Victims
8/21/2012
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of the Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today announced the issuance of a temporary general license to ease financial transactions related to earthquake relief in Iran. Since the August 11, 2012 earthquake that hit northwestern Iran, the United States has made it clear that it would offer assistance to the Iranian people as they recover and rebuild. The Iranian government has not accepted the U.S. offer of assistance, but non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been assisting in the relief efforts. To assist their efforts, OFAC issued a temporary general license today, which authorizes, for the next 45 days, NGOs with 501(c)(3) status to collect funds to be used in direct support of humanitarian relief and reconstruction activities in response to the earthquake. The general license is a demonstration of the Administrations commitment to supporting the Iranian people affected by this tragedy, and responds to the American peoples desire to provide immediate assistance.
Under the general license, which will remain in effect until October 5, 2012, an NGO can transfer funds up to $300,000 during the 45-day period to Iran to be used for humanitarian relief and reconstruction activities related to the earthquake response. NGOs interested in transferring more than $300,000 during the 45-day period may apply for a specific license. It is important to note that the general license specifically forbids any dealings or involvement with individuals or entities designated for support for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or terrorism, such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as listed on the Treasury Departments List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List).
Donations of food and medicine to Iran already do not require a license from OFAC. These donations, when intended to be used to relieve human suffering, are exempt from the sanctions on trade between the U.S. and Iran, as long as the donations are not being sent to the Government of Iran or any Iranian individual or entity on the Treasury Departments SDN List. For all practical purposes, such donations to the Iranian people, including transactions needed to ship permissible donations, can occur without a specific license from OFAC.

“Stakelbeck on Terror Show: Inside Jihad with Tawfik Hamid”
(August 21, 2012)
SNIPPET: “Dr. Tawfik Hamid knows the enemy of radical Islam firsthand. As a young man, he was a follower of Islamist ideology and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Ayman al-Zawahiri.
A native of Egypt, Dr. Hamid has since left the world of Islamism behind and is author of the book, Inside Jihad.
He is a leading authority on the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda, and the global Islamist movement.
I sat down with him recently on the Stakelbeck on Terror show for an in-depth interview about the latest events in Egypt and the broader Middle East.

Whither the jihadi forums?
INTERNET-HAGANAH.com ^ | August 1, 2011 | n/a
Posted on August 1, 2011 1:10:28 PM PDT by Cindy

“Whither the jihadi forums?”
SNIPPET: “There are currently only three jihadi forums that are sufficiently active and well-connected to be of any interest whatsoever. Why we claim to be on the verge of defeating al-Qaida while simultaneously watching passively as they use these forums to regroup and regenerate is beyond me.
These are the forums three:
al-Fidaa, a forum created by al-Qaida core. That it is directly linked to al-Qaida by definition moves it to the top of the list. Current membership: 2,462, all of whom can be considered “active” if only because they just joined the forum.
al-Shmukh, a forum with a long history that includes connections al-Qaida core. Current membership: 14,327.
Ansar al-Mujahideen Arabic Forum, which was stood up with the assistance of at least one individual with bona fide connections to al-Qaida core. Current membership: about 10,000.
Some conclusions and some speculation:
1. There are far fewer jihadi activists on the Arabic forums than there used to be. With each round of shutdowns a portion of the membership never comes back (they had probably already become inactive).
2. A portion of the jihadi community globally bypasses the forums entirely, and instead relies on Facebook and Youtube. This seems particularly true of Western jihadis, the HVEs.
