Meanwhile, In Jihadi News
Fox jihad on the Jihadis gets them booted from Facebook. Rupert Murdoch Akhbar! Quick GWOT roundup starts with this development re anti-social networking:
A quickly growing jihadist group that used Facebook to spread its radical message has been shut down by the popular Web networking site after FOXNews.com alerted the company to the group’s activities.
Facebook blocked the group, Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra — Arabic for “Knights in Support of the Invasion” — Thursday evening after the group swelled to about 120 members in just over one week.
The group had been exhorting its members to wage “Jihad to aid the religion of Allah and his Prophet.”
…
Fursan Ghazawat Alnusra wrote that its purpose was “to support Jihad and Mujihadeen” and that it started the Facebook group “to invade this Web site” and to ask “Allah to grant us Jihad and martyrdom.”
It promised future action: “Today we invade your sites, tomorrow your lands and homes, o you cross worshippers.”
Jawa, as usual, has been all over Jihadis on the Internet.
Moving on, Ze’ev Maghen at Commentary on Iran’s Israel bashing, and why, contrary to various dismissive voices on the left, it needs to be taken seriously. It’s not (necessarily) that they’ll try to nuke Israel tomorrow. It’s the effect of the Nazi-like indoctrination of the daily drone on millions, and the Israel-undermining devil’s deal. Yeah, that, the anti-Israel terrorism and the nukes, if you ask me.
