Pennsylvania Woman Tied to Plot on Cartoonist

...

The indictment said that in mid-2008, Ms. LaRose, using the aliases JihadJane and Fatima LaRose, began posting on YouTube and other Internet sites messages about her desire to help Muslims. A MySpace profile for a woman who refers to herself as JihadJane displays pictures of bloodshed and violence in the Middle East scrawled with messages like “Palestine We Are With You” and “Sympathize With Gaza.”

...

The indictment refers to e-mail messages in which a conspirator, citing how Ms. LaRose’s appearance and American passport would make it easier for her to operate undetected, allegedly directed her in March 2009 to go to Sweden to help carry out a murder. She agreed to do so, writing, “I will make this my goal till I achieve it or die trying,” the indictment says. She and another unnamed American later posted online solicitations for money for that project, the document said.

I turned in Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose to the FBI -- A Jawa Report Exclusive

 

***Exclusive***Sticky***

Here is The Jawa Report's exclusive report* from the person who notified the FBI about Colleen "Jihad Jane" La Rose's online activities in support of terrorism.

There have been so many media inquiries made to The Jawa Report and YouTube Smackdown about our involvement in the "Jihad Jane" case. We here at The Jawa Report and the YouTube Smackdown Corps were involved to varying degrees in tracking and "smacking down" her various YouTube videos and accounts. By "smacking down" we mean we helped with an organized campaign to "flag" terrorist propaganda videos uploaded to YouTube in an effort to have those videos removed.

Howie and Stable Hand at the Jawa Report, for instance, were much more active in following Colleen -- who in addition to calling herself "Jihad Jane" also used the name "Fatima LaRose".

Andrea, Sabby, The Bartender, Celebrimbor, & Lam from the Smackdown Corps also followed Jihad Jane over the years. And Star CMC was instrumental both in the Corps and in enlisting the help of members of the Free Republic forum for various YouTube smackdowns.

But one individual in particular decided that Colleen's pro-terrorism videos and statements crossed a line last year. I think we all thought of Colleen as pathetic and perhaps deranged. But at some time a year or more ago she also caught this person's attention and they made the judgment that Colleen was also dangerous.

This is their story...

This is the post she had up asking for people to contact her about how to support the muj. Big congrats to all the Smackdown folks here at FR - you had a big part in this!

This is awesome. Smack downs aren’t easy to do because I watch the videos sometimes and they can be disgusting and demoralizing. Excellent job! She is really deranged.

Very interesting turn of events

Tomorrow in class, we are going to be discussing a segment in our geography text book on the clash of cultures going on in Denmark now.

Basically it tried to weigh freedom of press with respect for religion.

This is an added bit of information that I will be adding to the discussion.

Well done!

The mind boggles at what sort of diseased mind it takes to do this.

Execute Colleen LaRose, cut off her head, and mount it on a pike in the town square to show these b*st*rds that we’re serious.
