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.

America is now the frontline in the war on terror. Notice how fast each new report comes out after the last?

Anyone not armed better get armed because this is going to get bloody – fast.

Our spineless, cowardly, Godless leaders have chosen to turn away from this threat. Why? Because they are not the ones threatened by this front in the war. They have the secret service and personal bodyguards to protect them so they need not worry about or address this.

This threat is directed at us. You and I. Since our cowardly leaders have condoned this by not confronting it, that burden falls to us. You and I.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

I've been locked and loaded, ready and waiting, since 9-12-01. I've also received 3 death threats; one came in another email this morning, on my home machine.

[ariamne]

I've posted this on other threads, but it bears repeating--several of us wrote/called America's Most Wanted and asked that murder of the Coptic Christian family be profiled. Maybe they were planning to anyway, but after several "thanks for your interest e-mails", I received one saying the Armanious family's murders will be profiled on 2/19. Please write AMW and request this not be a MSM whitewash piece. And if it is, please write post-show and ask that they look into the web-site threat by islamic thugs. We MUST NOT let this crime slide into cold case obscurity. For the sake of the Armanious family and any of us who are on the forefront of this battle against terrorism in our homeland.

[ariamne]

We know how serious this is. Don't let the MSM sweep these threats under the rug; let's keep talking--hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. We will not turn the other cheek.

[appalachian_dweller]

Did you pass them along to the FBI?

If we could get these death threats on the news do you think anyone would wake up?

7.62, maybe you should create a buddy system (like I have). ALWAYS let your buddy know where you are and tag up at regular time intervals. If you don't tag up, your buddy can check on you. I have that system in place now.

Watch you back man. Worried for you.

[nw_arizona_granny]

I will raise your bump............

[Velveeta]

I've also received 3 death threats; one came in another email this morning, on my home machine.

You did report this, right?

[nw_arizona_granny]

This is beginning to add up in numbers, too many freepers are getting threats.

Texas have you had more threats since last week?

[Tijeras_Slim]

New Mexico CCW is a reality now.

[OXENinFLA]

Such a peaceful religion CULT!

[Calpernia]

>>>If we could get these death threats on the news do you think anyone would wake up?

The Jersey City community families recend threats on the Net and mailed to their homes.

The news went no further than the local community newspaper.

[Betis70]

Can you still wear on your hip there? (with some restrictions as I recall).

[Peach]

Oh, no. He must be freaked out. I'm surprised Steven Emerson is still around the the level of security he takes is what's saved him so far.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yes, open carry OK except in liquor selling establishments, courthouses, and schools.

[SheLion]

[7.62 x 51mm]

I emailed the first two into the FBI, with headers expanded. They've now shut down all email services, so the one I got this morning is still in limbo.

[mommadooo3]

I wonder if it would do any good to write to AMW, asking them to profile this family's butchering, AND letting them know BEFOREHAND, that we FREEPERS are asking/waiting to see their presentation of the facts.

Let's face it....FR has a 'reputation' for getting to the TRUTH and getting it OUT where the sheeple are made aware of it. AND for getting a story out BEFORE the LSM.

[broadsword]

I'm not going to get fired up.
I'm not going to get fired up.
I'm not going to get fired up!

[appalachian_dweller]

Glad to see you back man!!!!

[broadsword]

Thanks, but I think I'll stick to just "nice" things to say about everything and every wonderful throat-slitter of peace.

(I am being actively hunted from thread to thread.)
