"GOOGLE, WHY ARE YOU APPARENTLY (CONTINUING TO REMAIN) EVIL?"
A Google-hosted blog featuring a computer manipulated image of President George W. Bush clad in an orange jump suit sitting before five Islamic executioners remains on line.
From http://mojahidmouslim.blogspot.com
Another graphic image on the same blog shows former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld all engulfed in flames.
The image below is also on the same blog.

The blog is at http://mojahidmouslim.blogspot.com
Other than featuring the graphics described above, it appears to primarily feature links to other sites such as http://www.angelfire.com/ok5/mojahdnet/m4.htm
Pictures of weapons and shooting procedures are clearly displayed on that site.

Another page at the same location (http://www.angelfire.com/ok5/mojahdnet/shabah.htm ) shows a graphic of Osama bin Laden and more weapons.
One site linked to by http://mojahidmouslim.blogspot.com provides a montage of, among others, wanted Islamic terrorists.

This blog, http://mojahidmouslim.blogspot.com , is not the only apparent terror friendly Google hosted blog.
Others were http://win972007.blogspot.com , http://ghostper.blogspot.com , http://ansary.blogspot.com and http://mojahidmouslim.blogspot.com
One link from
http://win982006.blogspot.com goes to http://members.hostedscripts.com/top.cgi?user=001
That appears to also be primarily a link page, the first two being the Taliban Online (broken) and the al Qaeda friendly Global Islamic Media Front (http://gimf.cjb.net ).
At http://win972007.blogspot.com , browsers can find links to many terror friendly videos which include titles such as "roadside bomb" and attack with mortars."
Four e-mails to Google's abuse department over a number of days were not immediately answered. Google may be contacted at abuse@google.com and source-suggestions@google.com
As much as I hate the type of blogs mentioned above, according to the US Constitution, anybody is able to make any comment, negative or not, about the government. That is what makes this country free. One day, we will have a president in office which we will not agree with, and we too will have the right to protest, complain, make fun of, and make ill of them.
One day soon, as well, that right will be taken from us, and instead of complaining about a website or web provider, some soldier will just come to collect us and put us to death for saying something negative against the "supreme leader".
Until then, although I dont like what these sites say and I do not agree with them, I at least recognise their rights to create them.
