More information on Safar Al Hawali:

Saudi-funded al Qaida Recruitment Center in Michigan
http://haganah.org.il/haganah/archives/000373.php

...Two of the most radical sheiks in Saudi Arabia who provide religious justification for al-Qaeda, Salman Al-Awdah and Safar al-Hawali, have several fatwas (religious rulings) and statements plastered all over IANA's websites. These fatwas legitimize suicide bombings, terrorist attacks, and spit hatred towards the West. Both Al-Awdah and al-Hawali received phone calls from Mounir Motassadeq, a member of the Hamburg-based September 11 cell who was recently convicted in Germany of aiding the hijackers and being an accessory to over 3,000 murders. U.S. officials maintain al-Hawali is linked to the al Qaeda cell that bombed the U.S. embassy in Kenya in 1998. In bin Laden's 1996 declaration of war against the West, the terrorist commander "bemoaned" the arrests of the two sheikhs, who are frequently incarcerated in Saudi Arabia for their support of terrorism and for criticizing and condemning the royal family.

Paradoxically, however, it was Saudi Prince Nayef bin Abdelaziz who in 1999 released the two "religious scholars" from one of their stints in jail, and according to the Mideast Mirror, "warmly received" them and promised "there would be no official curbs on their activities." Despite the two sheikhs hatred for the Saudi royal family and their radical fatwas, the Saudi government continues to fund their fanatical propaganda on IANA's websites, but why? Any Arabic speaker familiar with the Arab world (which presumably those in the Saudi government are) can immediately recognize IANA's lineup of radical "scholars" who support and legitimize al Qaeda's activities. ...

Safar Al Hawali was not just a mentor of bin Laden -- but also provided the radical ideas for the Sept. 11th highjackers:

... Several of the young men attended the university and were, friends and family say, known to have recently tapped into the militant Islamic culture fostered by the tapes and pamphlets of clerics such as Eid Al Guerney and Safar Al Hawali, both of whom come from the southern province of Asir, and whose sermons often dovetail with the preachings of bin Laden....

There is at least one other jehadi site at the same ISP, "Innovation Place, Saskatchewan": http://www.islammemo.cc/

Islammemo is listed at the Haganah database:

http://www.weisburd.net/haganah/viewAllInfo.php?site=79

Affiliation: al Qaida
Type: Terrorist-affiliated News Service: Disinformation

Islammemo delivered threats to Christian activist, William P. Welty, accusing him of getting the website of Islammemo shut down, The site was actually shut down by the ISP (GoDaddy.com) for terms of service violations. "A few of those emails have contained death threats":

http://swansat.com/wpwelty/commentary/2003/2003_0222.htm

Also from the site, we have a picture of a ghostly spirit of bin Laden appearing to eye an airport (LAX: Los Angeles). The Arabic text quotes statements by the Calif. Attorney General:

The ISP is part of a high-tech incubator program funded by the taxpayers of Saskatchewan, and the Canadian government.

"More than 100 companies and organizations make their homes at Innovation Place".

Among them appears to be Islamist-jehadi groups supported by "Amanah Tech Inc."

Jehadi website ping: (let me know if you want on or off)

If I remember correctly, weren't there some recent arrests at a US university of Saudi exchange students who were making websites so that these clerics could post their fatwas online?

I'm sure there are dozens of similar websites registered through American providers as well.

Although they'll likely take action about it, because, as someone has rightly pointed out, we have hate laws, and part of those hate laws includes Islamics spreading hate. Canada doesn't tolerate that sort of thing from any group, be it whites, blacks, or muslims.

That said, what the heck are muslims doing in the middle of nowhere in Saskatchewan?

ISLAM ONLINE.net - Fatwa Applications - Ask The Scholar - Question from a person from Canada - Topic: "JIHAD AGAINST THE U.S. LED FORCES: MASS SUICIDE?" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Dear questioner, we commend your pursuit of knowledge and we earnestly implore Allah to bless your efforts in this honorable way. First of all, we would like to state that perhaps the US and its allies have attained some benefits by invading Iraq. However, this does not mean that they managed to defeat Islam. Hence, Muslims have to resist the invading forces by all possible means. They must not ever yield to pessimism and desperation and submit to the authority of those invaders as some authors in their works encourage Muslims to do nowadays. Sticking to the Islamic teachings, Muslims will defeat all evil forces and Allah will give them victory over their enemies. But let Muslims exert their best efforts. Responding to your question, Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, Deputy Chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, states the following: “It is improper for a Muslim to say that fighting against the invading enemy is mass suicide, for this accordingly means to submit to the enemies of Islam who are stronger than Muslims. In fact, fighting against the enemies who are invading Muslim countries is a legal obligation, and whoever gets killed in the course of such fighting is a martyr or shahid in the Cause of Allah. Muslims are enjoined to prepare whatever they can to resist invading forces, not to refrain from jihad until they prepare an army comparable to the enemy forces. Referring to this, Allah Almighty says: “Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force.” (Al-Anfal: 60) In this Qur’anic verse, Allah Almighty directs Muslims to the fact that by preparing all possible means of resistance, they will dismay the enemy. The rest of the foregoing verse says: “Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy.” (Al-Anfal: 60)" (April 24, 2003)

Interesting. Wonder about the two biotech sites here..

Ping

Amanah Tech Inc. looks like a perfect front - a web services/web hosting company that can handle all the jihadi business out there. No point in complaining to them about these sites...Sasktel is likely their biggest upstream provider.
