Joy Junction Director Jeremy Reynalds
Profiled on CNN's Anderson Cooper
for his Attempts to Catch Terrorists
Long time Albuquerque resident Jeremy Reynalds is best known for his work with Joy Junction, the shelter for homeless families he founded in 1986 and continues to direct. However, there's another side of Reynalds that is not quite as well known – as a terrorist hunter.
For the last 21 months Reynalds has investigating a number of Islamic terrorist web sites, many of which are hosted by American Internet Service Providers.
Most recently Reynalds has been looking at a Yahoo hosted group called Global Islamic Media (GIM), which some experts believe is a mouthpiece for the al Qaeda. After the recent tragic beheading of Nick Berg, there were several links from this site to where copies of the execution video could be found. In addition, prior to the train bombings in Spain there was "chatter" on the GIM site discussing the then upcoming incident and after the attack there was even more talk about what happened.
The CNN segment looked at Reynalds' attempts to get the GIM site taken off line. Interestingly, Yahoo did not respond to requests for comment by CNN.
Reynalds said, "Some people wonder what the director of a homeless shelter is doing trying to apprehend radical Islamic terrorists. That's an easy question to answer. Above anything else, Joy Junction is a faith based ministry which shows the love of Jesus Christ in spiritual and practical ways to the many homeless women and families who come to us looking for help. Unless we start taking the fundamentalist Islamic agenda seriously and realizing that its ultimate goal is to impose shariah (Islamic) law over the entire world, we'll be in trouble. We won't be able to have faith based ministries like Joy Junction – they'll be illegal. People need to understand what's going on here"
