The project of the Muslim Brotherhood to conquer the world

According to Sylvain Besson, a Swiss investigative reporter, Swiss authorities found a fascinating document when they entered Yusuf Nada’s villa in November 2001. Nada is by the way viewed as one of the bankrollers of Al Qaeda; he is the head of the Al Taqwa Bank. The document seized entitled “The Project” is a fourteen page leaflet dated December 1982 calling for the Muslim Brotherhood’s conquest of the world.
It is a detailed roadmap to attain this objective. The Muslim Brothers must infiltrate existing institutions rather than create their own. It calls for a guerilla war against Israel in the Palestinian territories and support to diverse armed Muslim groups from Bosnia to the Philippines. Swiss investigators confirm that the Project is the proof of the Muslim Brotherhood’s role in supporting and inspiring the worldwide jihad. Also a Western official who studied closely the Project assesses that it is the biggest threat for European democracies in the next ten years. He affirms that Europe will witness the birth of a parallel Muslim society, a parallel Muslim Parliament and so forth. Just as a side for most European secret services, Tariq Ramadan, the new adviser to British Prime Minister Blair on terrorism, is the unofficial head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. It looks like the infiltration is working fine!

Private Investigation Leads to Swiss Cyberterror Arrests

As a result of a month-long private cyberterrorism investigation conducted by Globalterroralert.com and reported on exclusively in the Swiss journal Die Weltwoche, Swiss police in Geneva have announced the arrest of two North Africans in connection with the fraudulent use of a University of Geneva computer lab in disseminating jihad propaganda videos and "inciting racial hatred." Neither of the unnamed pair--a 27-year old Moroccan and a 41-year old Algerian--were legal citizens of Switzerland. According a statement from Swiss police, "these individuals were observed using computers at the University of Geneva, over several months, for websurfing and visiting... violent extremist sites." In order to gain access to the computer lab, the two men had stolen the access code of a former student who had inadvertently left theirs available on a public access terminal.

Though the two men have denied uploading any material and have insisted that they were only "curious", digital forensic evidence archived by Globalterroralert.com indicates that, over the space of at least three months, a user in the same computer lab at the University of Geneva uploaded thousands of megabytes of Al-Qaida-related multimedia to various free Internet servers for other militants around the world to download--including recent audio recordings from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the testimony of a Saudi Al-Qaida member who escaped from Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan, and the latest video of UBL deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri concerning the October 8 earthquake in Pakistan.

This case should serve as an example of how silently gathering information on cyberterrorists who choose to "camp out" in "Western cyberspace" and using that information to track and detain human operators can often be a more efficient approach than merely shutting down their prolific websites. Just as the Internet can be a "Wild West" for savvy cyberterrorists like the notorious Irhaby 007, it can also be a "Venus Fly Trap" for other, less-sophisticated online personalities.
