“In an Internet age, al Qaeda prizes geek jihadis as much as would-be suicide bombers and gunmen.”
Yep.
That 72 virgin enticement would be doubly attractive to a jihadi geek.
OPINION:
It depends on the geek.
The geek is focused on his cyberwarfare agenda, just like the recruiters (who are usually older and mostly men) get excited about pulling in the youth who do go out do the acts of jihad.
No one really has hit the jihad geek status yet of Irhabi 007 who is in Belmarsh prison for 16 years.

Gadahn (in pieces or hiding) was coming in second with his internet propaganda.
