The following is a documentary called ‘Media jihad’ produced in Japan by NHK Television and updated by the Discovery Channel about the media wing of the terrorist thugs in their attempts to recruit peaceful Muslims into their evil death cult.
The irony is that these nihilists hate the West so much but (being the parasites that they are) use the technology produced here to record these wicked videos and gloat over dead bodies. They hate freedom of speech, but hide behind it to spread these evil videos. Any normal person should be convinced that these are nothing more than sick thugs. Videos are below the fold

Salam alaykum,
I would like to say that after reviewing your site I would be so honored if you would contribute to my new blog experiment. My goal is to create a space where many Muslim American voices can talk about the experience of indigenizing islam. Please take a look at my blog and keep up the good work.

Who’s willing to bet that e-jihadis will flood the Comments yet again after this post?
Danial,
What’s an “e-jihadi”?
While, I don’t agree with these harbi’s and their tactics. I did notice a bit of a conflict on the information in this documentary on Bin Laden versus the information in this documentary:
http://changeyourcondition.net/2008/06/03/the-koran-and-the-kalashnikov-beginnnig-of-a-drastic-change-in-us-discourse-on-islam/
America has to take some accountability into the making of Bin Laden and simply turning their backs on Afghanistan and demonising them after they defeated communism. With millions of soliders having died, a war torn country and having put 15+ years into war, why do you think the US simply turned their back on Afghanistan and did nothing to help them rebuild their country? Do you think it was purposeful that they left the situation unstable and then villified?
All-in-all this is a sad situation. Muslim’s have to begin working towards education and literacy in Islam. How could “this” that they are perpetrating be considered jihad in any sense? How could young men and boys be swayed to loose hope to such and extent? Muslims have lost their way in how to live in the world and these sort tactic of despair and retreating from reality is not befitting the Ummah of Rasulullah (saw).
Abu hunain, this is your typical e-jihadi
Danial,
There’s alot names that one can use for these folks. Using jihad in any form for them is a waste of a beautiful word.
The concept of using the media to spread a message is a good idea.
What the message is going to be is another question.
Unfortunately people like Usama Bin Laden have been able to use the internet in a way that is viral.
OBL does not represent Islam or a Muslim Organization or Nation yet he does get the most media coverage. Using western technology against the west.
The counter attack is to spread positive viral information.

@ patb
The people on that forum represent an extreme and inhuman fringe
Well stated Abu Hunain… Jihad is definitely a part of our deen though the term has been smeared. Those who critique the Kharajites should be wary of becoming apologetic. Besides betraying our traditions it is just not a good look. It demonstrates a lack of integrity and weakness of conviction. Conviction in our times is looked upon as egoism. Most souls backslide easy and have not developed that level of integrity this is why people have a problem with conviction.
@ rasheedmoore
Glad to see a Muslim be honest and admit that the jihad violence we have seen in the US and around the world is indeed a part of Islam.
There is certainly nothing “tolerant” or “peaceful” about Islam. Its message to the “unbelieving” world is the same as always: submit, be conquered, or be killed.
Jamal,
We can only hope, there are around 3800 members on that site.
They do occasionally mention Tariq and his site as a ‘traitor Muslim’ etc.
Sadly, I could post quite a few more similar sites and each and every one of them is supported by ‘learned’ scholor(s) Shayks/Imams/Mullahs. They take great care to support their ideas/actions with scripture.
I know these folks are in the minority but it is a scary active minority with monetary and scholastic support.
The radical elements of Islam seem well entrenched, funded, and supported in certain countries.
Under what circumstances do you see a reversal of this trend?
@ patb
the vast majority of muslims are as sickened by the violence as anyone else. I don’t know how to reverse the trend of radical websites, but I take solace that most muslims are peaceful
Jamal,
Most people are peaceful, thank God.
I do know that many Islamic oriented sites do despair the concept of religious inspired/supported radicalism, and do it well.
This site for example.
From my limited observations:
Islam is a non secular religion that prescribes daily actions for its followers, specific ways to act in a much more defined way than my Christianity.
Certain Qur’an verses and actions in the Hadiths are open to interpretation as it relates to Muslim actions in the present. I refer to the Shayks, Mullahs etc. that interpret in a radical manner for the radical community.
Some Govt’s espouse the same i.e. the childrens TV puppet show in Palestine that uses Islam to support radical solutions as they raise (indoctrinate) their children.
Any sweeping change, it seems to me, could only come from within if (huge if) the different ’schools’ of thought unified to discuss/rule on those same passages in an overarching way.
This would not stop the political violence certainly but could remove one of the pillars used to support it.
I’m not attempting to disparage Jamal, just thinking aloud about a very complex issue that affects worldwide.
