Islamists target Christian journalist on website

Christian journalist and long-time friend of Internet Haganah, Jeremy Reynalds has been targeted for killing by Islamists on the Al Ansar forum (ansarnet.ws).

The thread:

www.ansarnet.ws/vb/showthread.php?t=27276

In a thread on the Houston-based site, the person who ran the now-defunct mawsuat.com site starts by blaming Reynalds for the site's demise, posts a POBox address for Reynalds, and asks if anyone else has more information about him.

In the discussion that follows, the Islamists first post Reynald's home address so that he might be "visited", then a picture of him and a wish that his ribs should be broken, and finally they offer their prayers to Allah that He should deliver to them Reynald's "fatty neck" - a clear reference to the current fad of decapitating anyone deemed to be a critic of the more lethal forms of Islam.

The thread closes with a heartfelt "amen".

When informed by the Haganah of the threat against him, Reynalds said that threats like this do not intimidate him and he has no intention of backing down. He is more determined than ever to help drive Internet terrorism right where it belongs - into the pit of hell!

And on that note:

Name: ansarnet.ws
Address: 67.15.48.24
Datacenter: Everyone's Internet, Houston, TX USA

RADICAL ISLAMICS TARGET JOY JUNCTION DIRECTOR AND CHRISTIAN WRITER JEREMY REYNALDS FOR KILLING

     For a few weeks, one of the hottest jihadi terror sites appeared to have been  www.mawsuat.com

 

     Fortunately, a few hours before the recent very successful Iraqi elections this site was taken down by its American Internet service provider (ISP) after I alerted the company to the contents of the site.

 

     Now thanks to my friends at Internet Haganah (http://haganah.org.il/harchives/003608.html), I have learned that the site's demise has made some jihadis very upset and they would like nothing better than to have my head on a platter.

 

     The following information was posted on the Houston-based radical Islamic site Ansarnet (www.ansarnet.ws/vb/showthread.php?t=27276), and the translation provided by Internet Haganah Owner Aaron Weisburd.

     Weisburd wrote ( http://haganah.org.il/harchives/003608.html) "The person who ran the now-defunct mawsuat.com site starts by blaming Reynalds for the site's demise, posts a P. O. Box address for Reynalds, and asks if anyone else has more information about him.

AMERICAN ISP HOSTS TERROR SITE WITH BULLETIN BOARD THREATS AGAINST REYNALDS

 

     I was fascinated to see that Ansarnet basically disclaims responsibility for what appears on its site.

 

     A disclaimer reads (www.ansarnet.ws)  in part (sic), "Bulletin boards are public access plat forms on which any member of the public can post comments, news or links to other sites. This member of the public could well be a Dictatorial governments agent trying to cause discord. It is ANSARNET.WS's policy, not to allow any posting which contains incitement to violence or could be interpreted as an original statement or publication of terrorist groups. These postings could stay for while before being noticed and removed by the web-master."

 

      Ansarnet.ws is hosted by the Houston based Everyone's Internet (www.ev1.net/english/contact/index.asp). Ev1.net attracted more than a little attention last year by its relationship with www.hostinganime.com, a small and free Internet service provider which used computer space owned by ev1.net and hosted as many as 20 terror sites.

 

     EV1 repeatedly refused to respond to inquiries from me and others about why it continued to allow Hosting Anime the use of its computer space. Fortunately Hosting Anime was sold a few months ago and the new owners appear to be much more discriminating in their policies.

 

     But maybe you're wondering what made me so upset that I wanted to see Mawsuat go off line?

   

   MAWSUAT --- A JIHADI "SNUFF" STORE

 

     Here's what I found after going through only a portion of the site. In addition to providing links to files of al Qaida publications, www.mawsuat.com also had about 40 Jihadi "snuff" videos (of killings reportedly committed by supporters of Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi) available for download.

 

     These were mostly short three to five minute videos of masked insurgents reading some sort of proclamation to a prisoner; followed either by the individual's head being cut off or shot in the head execution style.

 

     Despite the al-Zarqawi and al Qaida materials available on the site, a disclaimer read  "We would like to inform all the media outlets, all the governments and agencies that Mawsuat.com is not affiliated with any group or organization. The sole purpose of this project is to inform."

 

     The address provided for contact on the site was mawsuat@hotmail.com. I sent an e-mail to that address asking what the individual hoped to achieve by his site. It was answered like this.

 

     "To tell the other side's story without bias at the contrary of the most major networks in your land," the individual wrote. " (For) example, if you check some of the videos of some operations in Iraq, you'll find that the number of casualties of the American forces is far greater than what your Pentagon and your Fox News report."

 

     The individual continued, "First of all, the cyber space doesn't belong to anybody the last time I checked. What I put in my website is my business. To be honest with you, I find it kinda amazing that you will be offended by my website and its content, yet the thousands of porn sites that show women of all ages displaying themselves all over the internet seem to be fine by you "people" -- assuming you are an American".

 

      He added, "Now here's my question to you, if you are so sensitive and have a lot of 'moral values.' Why don't you condemn this war and ask your government to stop it --  especially that over 100, 000 Iraqi civilians were slaughtered so far by your war machine, or maybe you can't --  so you pick on the underdog."

 

        The writer closed by saying, "If you find my English to be pretty good maybe you should assume I'm educated."

 

     The site was registered to Karim Berrada. The tracking information for his e-mail also gave the same name. The address provided for site registration was "28, sidiberezzouk st, rabat 10000 United States."

 

     That information is of course false, as Rabat is the capital of Morocco. Googling Karim Berrada (www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22Karim+Berrada%22&btnG=Google+Search) produced a small number of results, many of which were Moroccan affiliated. However, the e-mail tracking information indicated that it probably originated in the United States.

 

     Mawsuat.com was hosted by an American Internet service provider "Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com). When alerted of the site's content, the company initially removed it for a short time. However, it was back on line by the next morning -- pending, company officials said, a more thorough investigation.

 

     A couple of days later the site was again down. Thankfully, visitors are now greeted with the words, "This site is currently unavailable. If you are the owner of this site, please contact us at 1-480-505-8855 at your earliest convenience."

 

     A Go Daddy representative said after the company finished an internal investigation of the site contents, it appeared that the site was violating the terms of service and so it was taken down.

 

AND NOW?

 

     While I take any threat seriously, I refuse to be intimidated by terrorist thugs using the Internet as a platform to broadcast their message of death and destruction. Working in conjunction with fine groups like Internet Haganah I intend to continue shining a light into the darkness of cyber terrorism and covet your prayers as I do so.

 

     To further draw public attention to this abuse of the Internet, I have had a book proposal in the works for some time. I would ask that everyone who reads this in addition to praying for my continued safety also prays that the Lord would touch the heart of a major American publisher so I could provide a quality resource for those wanting to help join the battle.

For those who think that those hundreds of terror sites are being kept online so they can be "monitored" by some nameless government entity I have three words: "You are wrong".

[Destro]

Know your enemy! Help fight Islamic terrorism by visiting johnathangaltfilms.com and jihadwatch.org.

[Destro]

Thank you for being brave such a brave journalist when you uncovered the al-Qaeda and Bosnian/Balkan Muslim connections.

[backhoe]

Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP™ )? Click this picture:

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you aren't informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be mad, all over again.

[redgolum]

Prayers for his family. If he is in TX, I bet he has a rather nice protection piece.

[Trippin]

Time to get the FBI involved.

[Publius6961]

Why can't we just have a master list where all names and addresses are kept for these "guests" who appear to be here merely to abuse our legal system?

Surely, intimidation works both ways...
And they have a lot more to fear from being identified and photographed than we do.

[JohnathanRGalt]

Prayers for his family. If he is in TX, I bet he has a rather nice protection piece.

He's in NM. In that state the CC law passed in 2001 has been challenged by the liberals: so he has no means of personally protecting himself.

Jeremy puts his trust in Jesus Christ.

[CedarDave]

Like just about everything else in NM, the State Police web page is "dated" (ie. outdated). The NM legislature revamped the concealed carry law in 2003 and concealed carry licenses have been issued beginning in January 2004. See this NMSP page and links for more current (though not current) information:

Correction to my own post: it's not that "he has no means of personally protecting himself". He could, of course, pack a piece openly with the proper permits.

(I wish FR had a 'edit your own post' feature with a history so trolls couldn't abuse it).

[hushpad]

I wonder if the war-mongering "Religion of Peace" Crowd understands that Americans have the right to bear arms?

They Should.

[hushpad]

He could, of course, pack a piece openly with the proper permits. ..

I might be mistaken, but here in Texas, without a conceal-carry Permit, a person MUST Carry his weapon out in the open - or be in violation of the law.

If I have a conceal carry license, I must Carry, and I must Conceal. If not, my legal firearm could be strapped to my hip as far as Law Enforcement in concerned.

If islamofacists start up around here - that is exactly where I'm wearing my weapon of choice. I'd like them to see it coming.

[JohnathanRGalt]

It worked in Israel -- the Islamists couldn't target individuals with guns because people would shoot back. So, the Islamists went to suicide/homicide bombs.

[KDD]

"Jeremy puts his trust in Jesus Christ".

To keep his soul maybe.

I'd put my personal safety in the hands of Smith and Wesson. The Model 29.

[speed_addiction]

I can't keep firearms because I am a convicted felon, but I have 20 years experience with this:

BRING THEM ON!

[hushpad]

It worked in Israel -- the Islamists couldn't target individuals with guns because people would shoot back. So, the Islamists went to suicide/homicide bombs.<<<

Oh Ho! Bunch of Cowards.

I've often said that Israel always took the high road even when they were getting slaughtered.

Now, I wonder if islamists Really Believe that All Americans will take the same High-Road. . .Or take Pot-Shots...Hmmmm like I said. . .Muslims really should think about it long and hard..

This is not Israel.

[sheik yerbouty]

A rude shock will await them if they get ferally friskie.

[NYer]

Just like the family of Coptic Christians who were slaughtered for their faith in NJ, two weeks ago ... excuse me "murdered during a burglary".

When will the MSM wake up!!

[nw_arizona_granny]

Ping

[hushpad]

A rude shock will await them if they get ferally friskie.<<<


I'm pretty sure of that.

Bunch of muslims will find themselves on the outside looking in - or worse.
