Jihad in cyberspace (the Internet is the new radical Mosque and Madrassah)
The Washington Times/UPI ^ | Oct. 24, 2006 | Arnaud de Borchgrave

Below the radar screen of Western intelligence and security services, there is a global re-education process on the Internet to proselytize on the true meaning of an Islamic state. This "cyberwar" is transforming the political landscape of the Middle East. It is a slow, stealthy but massive campaign.

Salafist ideologues are reinventing Islam, firing the imagination of Internet-savvy Muslim youth from Morocco to Mindanao and from Sweden to Spain. Mohamed Atta trained his 9/11 teams face-to-face. The successor generation now meets in an Open University of Jihad on the worldwide Web.

We can no longer measure success as we did before 9/11. The death of a leader, even of Osama bin Laden, makes no difference at all. Violence is only the tip of a huge, previously uncharted iceberg.

MI5's Joint Terrorism Analysis Center has concluded the Internet is the key to the intelligence conundrum.

Those not computer literate in Arabic and English cannot begin to understand a multi-dimensional global groundswell of jihadi revenge.

A surprisingly high percentage of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Muslims in slums around France's major cities, as well as an estimated 20 percent of Britain's l.8 million Muslims and Germany's 2.2 million Turks navigate the global web....

Moderate Muslim regimes dismiss the danger because they are the majority. Ulph believes this is wrong-headed and can only be said by those who are not computer literate and rely on intel and security chiefs who are not computer literate either. These, in turn, rely on subordinates for their cyber skills. But those who acquire ether proficiency quickly transit over to the private sector where the take home pay is infinitely better than, say, in the Egyptian intel service

What to do?

A task force, with NO dems, to watch'em, get there addresses & personal info, keep absolutely quiet about it, no splashing in the NY Slimes, put them on a jihad list, arrest them where you can or otherwise quietly kill them with no credit taken.

This appears to be the most practical approach yet.

Yes.

However, there is a glut of jihad sites on the net.
There shouldn't be.
That's my opinion.

When the word gets around on the Internet, from one jihadi to another, and the where-is-jihadi X-,Y, and Z-question makes the rounds, the Internet will become as notorious a trap as the cell phones! LOL
