E-Sleuthing the E-Jihad

Our man Bill Warner in Florida, has been e-sleuthing and getting Islamic websites, the new enormous, wide open battlefield for the global jihad,  taken down and removed. Bill rules.

Ordinary "Joe's" are tracking down U.S. Web sites used by al Qaeda and jihadi sympathizers and then using the Internet (Newspaper Reporters) to persuade the service providers (Hosting companies) to snuff out the sites and it is working.

One site hosted in Phoenix and shut down on February 1st 2008 was ek-ls.org  which was one of six previously hosted in Tampa, said Paul Henry, an Internet security specialist. It was Henry who uncovered a new al-Qaida encryption program hosted at al-ekhlaas.info, the web site taken down in Tampa on Monday Jan 28th 2008.  The Arizona Republic story is available here..

The latest set of al-Qaida supported websites al-hesbah.com fell today, February 19th 2008 in Tampa Fla. Not one of the al-Qaida websites is back up and running.

This is the third major al-Qaida website that he, Howard Altman Tampa Tribune, Robert Anglin Arizona Republic  have shut down since Jan 28th 2008 . The site, www.alhesbah.net/v/ is now shut down, off the internet, no more Jihad propoaganda (for now) for Palestinians to kill the Jews and Americans.

Al-Qaida Supporters' Web Site Hosted By Tampa Company (Is now shut down) By HOWARD ALTMAN, The Tampa Tribune

TAMPA - One of al-Qaida supporters' oldest and most stable Web sites is being hosted in Tampa and contains a 21-minute audio clip calling for Palestinians to attack Jews and the United States, according to organizations that track jihadists online.

The site, www.alhesbah.net/v/,  is the "principal and largest jihadi forum of supporters of al-Qaida and global jihad, and the oldest existing forums," said Reuven Paz, director of the Jerusalem-based Project for the Research of Islamist Movements. "However, it is much more than just a forum and includes many other functions of very comprehensive and thorough indoctrination, guidance, recruitment for support, virtual military training and creation of global Islamic solidarity."

In the recording, he "urges the Palestinians to participate in the war against 'the unbelievers, headed by the U.S., Europe and Iran' who are attacking Islam. He stresses that they must begin by fighting the Jews, who are their nearest enemies," according to MEMRI.

Bill writes me, www.al-Hesbah.com  and all of it's links are Shut Down today, in a huge domino effect.    Just how many al-Qaida supporting websites are hosted out of Tampa Fl, how many more ?

al-Hesbah.com & .net & .org are all SHUT Down today...this is a major blow to their propaganda that was solicitation women for suicide bombers (see MEMRI below) !  All of the following al-Qaeda supported websites (see MEMRI below) were up and running on February 1st 2008, all of the www.al-Hesbah.com and .net and .org websites are shut down today.

From MEMRI

The following are excerpts from materials from the following websites: <www.al-hesbah.org/v - a forum for women and Islamic families; www.shmo5alislam.net/ - an Islamic women's forum; and www.al-faloja.info/vb - an Islamic family forum. 

"How I Hoped to Turn My Body into Slivers to Tear the Sons of Zion to Pieces, and to Knock with Their Skulls on the Gates of Paradise"

An Al-Hesbah subscriber calling herself Umm Hamza Al-Shahid wrote a message titled "Secure Yourself a Chandelier under the Throne [in Paradise]," in which she encouraged Muslim women to carry out suicide bombings. Following are excerpts:

"The souls of the martyrs dwell inside the bellies of green birds [that roost] on chandeliers hanging from the royal throne [of Allah in Paradise]. They roam freely in Paradise, and then come to roost on the chandeliers... Sister... [think] what a [wonderful] life that is, how [wonderful] Paradise is, and what we miss living here [in this world]... You know that a martyr does not die. He lives, and will never know death, for it is said [in Koran 2:153]: 'And do not speak of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead; nay, [they] live, but you do not perceive [it].'

16]Al-Khansaa bint 'Omar was a poet of the pre-Islamic period who converted to Islam in Muhammad's time. She is considered "the mother of martyrs" because when her four sons died in the battle of Qadisiyah in 637 CE, she did not did not grieve, but said, "Praise be to Allah who honored me with their martyrdom. I pray for Allah to let me join them in Paradise."
