| Terrorists Using the Internet to Recruit, Inspire and Train |

| I post this because they quote my favorite anti-jihadi, Aaron Weisburd. Just a snippet... Some groups in the United States and abroad are fighting Islamic terroristsâ use of the Internet. Internet Haganah is one such site. According to director Aaron Weisburd, Haganah is a volunteer-based effort to stop the use of the Internet as a communications and propaganda tool by Islamic terrorist groups and their supporters. âOnce we have identified those sites we do an assortment of things,â he says. âWe investigate where the site is hosted, who the site is registered to. If possible, we try and see if we can figure out who is footing the bill for it. We try and figure out who or what people are participating in the site, particularly with web forums, which are a big part of the online jihad scene. And along the way we also encourage Internet service providers to simply not do business with such people, which weâve also found to be highly effective.â Aaron Weisburd says that over the last year and a half, Internet Haganahâs efforts have led Internet service providers to remove some 400 to 500 web sites with links to Islamic terrorism. While many of these sites are able to find another host-server, it has become increasingly difficult. But as Mr. Weisburd notes, itâs not the Internet web sites that are so dangerous in themselves; rather, itâs the people behind them. |
