"New Website Incites Electronic Jihad"
By Abdul Hameed Bakier
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The latest criticism of Islam being a violent religion, which was sparked by incendiary comments made by Pope Benedict XVI, has caused internet jihadis to launch a new website called Electronic Jihad, located at http://www.al-jinan.org . The purpose of the website is to help organize an electronic jihad against websites that insult Islam and Islamic sacred figures. The site has been well publicized on more established jihadi websites. Jihadi forums are posting quotes from the Quran in order to encourage and convince jihadis and regular Muslims of their duty to engage in electronic jihad and to attack anti-Islamic sites in order to shut them down. Furthermore, postings from August on the Electronic Jihad site already claim that they successfully shut down the Israeli website http://www.haganah.co.il . Thus, it seems that while street protests in response to Western criticism of Islam have died down in the Islamic world, the battle is still raging on the internet."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On the Electronic Jihad website, the moderator of the website claims that the site organizers do not belong to any specific Islamic group or sect, instead pointing out that they are fighting on behalf of all Muslims, united under one flag to defend Islam. The website domain, however, is registered to an "Ahmad Adel" who has an Iraq mailing address, although it is not clear whether this is a false name and address. The site itself appears to be hosted by Saudi Arabian company IBTEKARAT.com, based in Saida. Software companies and programmers will, eventually, figure out ways to counter the hacking programs used by Electronic Jihad, but it will only hold off the determined jihadis temporarily until they devise other methods to attack sites that they believe offend Islam."
