Actually, although the owners of Azzam are in England -- Azzam publications has connections to the famous Finsbury Park Mosque, home of the shoe bomber Richard Reid, Abu Hamza, and several other high profile terrorists and special training for Muslims with AK-47's inside the Mosque and you thought the English don't allow guns. -- the Azzam.com website is broadcasting from Pennsylvania.

Yes, http://www.azzam.com has a base page at IP address: 216.40.201.216 -- owned by Everybody's Internet in Houston Texas (which, by the way, also hosts the Qassam.net site in the USA Today article). But look at the nested frames of the HTML structure of the web pages and you will see that the real site is at:

This is really BurstNet.net

Now, we have found that someone deep inside the U.S. Government is forcing both BurstNet in Pennsylvania and Everybody's Internet in Houston to host terrorist websites against their will! And you thought that this was a free country. We have contacted both ISPs and that's what they told us.

Almost all the terrorist websites are hosted by USA and UK ISPs. And, those ISPs should have the absolute right to shut down terrorist sites when they violate the TOS (terms of service) or AUP (acceptable use policy) agreement between the ISP and the terrorist website owner.

Once I finally convice people that the terrorist sites are located at US ISPs, the standard knee-jerk reaction is: "the Govt. needs to keep all these sites up so they can monitor the IP addresses of the terrorists". Strangely, I have never heard this statement from anyone in the FBI or any other Government agency.

I want an answer. I have launched a petition to: DEMAND ANSWERS: Why are ISPs forced to host terrorist web sites?

Here's an exception to the general rule of terrorist websites being from the USA or UK. JihadUnspun.net appears to be Canadian....

jihadunspun.net is the worst, as it has the audacity to target an American audience. They spammed me 3 "invitations" to their site in 2 days. I would love to see that site taken down...

Thanks for the pings! -- Here's a story on another jihadi website appearing in today's Guardian. I wonder why the authorities came down on this guy's website when there are other groups such as Azzam, Almuhajiroun.com, SupportersOfShariah.com and dozens of others operating openly in the UK. They all seem to be giving instructions on "bonecrushing" and the "Islamic art of war".

Website 'tried to recruit militants'

The Guardian

A website owner offering firearms training was trying to recruit militants to fight a Muslim holy war, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.

Suleyman Zainulabidin, 44, a chef, denies inviting people to receive instruction or training in making or using firearms or explosives between February 20 and October 2 last year, an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The jury heard that the Sakina Security Services website he set up offered courses in "bonecrushing" and the "Islamic art of war".

He is charged over a £3,000 course in live firearms training in the United States which was advertised on the site under the title "the ultimate jihad challenge".

The court heard that in two years just one person had gone on it through Mr Zainulabidin, and he was a security guard at a Sainsbury's store in south-east London.

Mark Ellison, prosecuting, said Mr Zainulabidin's claim that by jihad he meant a "struggle" as opposed to a holy war was bogus. He said emails recovered from the hard drive of his laptop included one from a person inquiring about the course which read: "Let me sacrifice for the jihad."

Others asked for help in getting to Chechnya, another for help in getting to Pakistan or Afghanistan in case the US attacked them after the September 11 attacks.

Mr Ellison said there were links on the site to militant groups, including Harkat ul-Mujahideen. In March 2001 the then home secretary, Jack Straw, decreed that membership and support of the group was a criminal offence.

The jury of nine women and three men heard that Sakina was a front for attracting would-be Muslim fighters, and had never filed accounts.

Mr Zainulabidin had told police he founded the company in the hope of making money and he believed there was a market for "Islamic threat assessment" and other services he was offering such as bodyguard training and survival courses.

He had been born Francis Etim and converted to Islam in 1979. He was arrested in October last year after he went to police to say he feared for his safety after a newspaper article about his firm.

Police raided his home in Greenwich, south-east London, where they seized documents. The laptop was found at his work address. The trial is expected to last until next month.
