An Online "University" for Jihad
By Stephen Ulph
In an interesting new development, the al-Qaeda network is making strides to present itself as a permanent cultural--as well as military--phenomenon. An October 7 posting on the al-Farouq jihadi forum (www.al-farouq.com) by Ahmad al-Wathiq bi-Llah, the "deputy general emir" of the Global Islamic Media Front, announced what it referred to as an "al-Qaeda University of Jihad Studies." The accompanying statement explained that "al-Qaeda is an organization, a state and a university, this is a fact which cannot be denied." Readers, it noted, might be amused by the headline, but the writer simply refers them to the experience of al-Qaeda's origins in Afghanistan: "it began with the Bureau of Services, the Bait al-Ansar and the al-Farouq Training Camp--until it reached the present stage."
The author then reflects on al-Qaeda's achievements made on the Internet, "Since the events of the USS Cole and Manhattan, hundreds of Muslims from all corners of the world have joined this global jihadist university, studying all the sciences, rules and methods of jihad." The method of enrollment may differ, as indeed the methods of instruction and application of training, "but it is a tangible reality for the enemies of the Nation and the Faith; a de-centralized university without geographical borders, present in every place."
The author also points to a phenomenon much under-appreciated by Western observers: that the "affiliation" to jihad and its aims is more than a matter of military training, but involves just as much intensive ideological and morale training. "Graduates" of the university, he explains, are specialists in "electronic jihad, media jihad, spiritual and financial jihad," passing through the "faculties" dedicated to both morale and explosive package technology and exploding cars and trucks." He warns that these graduates of al-Qaeda University are still learning, but "shall wreak slaughter upon the enemy in the coming days" and closes with a call for more students in the cause of striving for the Caliphate (www.al-farouq.com).

I am so glad I don't live near that place anymore.
Isn't that address near the San Jose International airport? 1st street is the exit you take getting off northbound U.S. 101 for the airport.

Well, if I can give any credit here to our U.S. "intelligence," it is that this should provide, at least, the bait.
As in, here, kitty-kit-tea.

Beautiful design on the site. I guess the first test of the 'students' is to be able to translate the ????'s. The characters show up correctly on my Mac. It is a pretty site, though there's too much animation going on....

That is right down California's alley.
They should get along well with Berkley. This is an American hating Democrat's wet dream come true.

Surely anything we read is already being covered by various Intel orgs., and the FBI. Such web sites are monitored in detail. Heaven only knows just how many Islamic sites are monitored daily around the world, and info placed into lets say data mining databases etc.. Let em keep broadcasting. Gives our folks more to go on. I would be more troubled if all their communications where done by private written postal letters where no one could see what is being transfered around.

"I would expect that is happening also!"
I'm sure you are right on. All we can do is monitor all known traffic and hopefully have dedicated savy folks that know when something sticks out and must be acted on. Surely things must be inproving between our many Intel agencies since the mission is rather well defined at this point, or at least I hope it is.
