"This is the very first English Jihadi Magazine aimed at the laymen, students of knowledge, political activists, intellectuals and scholars of the Ummah. It will seek to educate the Ummah on a monthly basis as to the latest happenings in fields related to Politics, Society, Economy, Technology etc. as well as educate the Muslims on the worldview of the Jihadi current. This magazine will serve as a platform for the English speaking Muslim Community to discuss their ideas, differences and thoughts on various issues related to the Islamic world and the hot issues which many stay silent on."

SNIPPETP: “A few days ago a scanned PDF version of Brynjar Lia’s book Architect of Global Jihad turned up on the al-Faloja forum as well as on Archive.org . It soon also appeared on Thabaat where it was applauded as “objective” (hat tip: Adam R.)”

Quoted in Fox News.com Story on Jihad Recollections
Eric Shawn over at Fox News.com just released a great story on al-Fursan’s Jihad Recollections.

Check it out……….HERE

Here’s my money quote in the story:

“What started off as some angry kids in their basement has transformed over the past several years into a robust Al Qaeda propaganda outlet right here in our backyard,” says Jarret Brachman, an Al Qaeda specialist and author of the new book, “Global Jihadism.”

Brachman says “it raises the bar for pro-Al Qaeda propaganda in English. Its presentation is flashier than any English language Al Qaeda propaganda that we’ve seen to date.” He also says “the publication shows how deeply embedded in the global Al Qaeda movement its editors are.”

“Glossy Internet Magazine Targets Americans for Jihad Training”
Friday, May 01, 2009
By Eric Shawn

SNIPPET: “It’s been likened to Al Qaeda’s “Vanity Fair,” a new English-language Internet magazine called “Jihad Recollections” that focuses on the terrorist group, its founder, Usama Bin Laden, and how to commit jihad. It also predicts the demise of the United States.

“This is designed for Americans,” says noted terrorism expert Steven Emerson, founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism in Washington, D.C., and author of the book “American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us.”

“It’s not for Brits, not for Germans, not for jihadists in the Middle East. It’s designed for Americans and it’s designed to get them to convert to Islam or to carry out jihad acts of terror,” he said.”

“Fox Discovers Samir Khan’s Magazine”

SNIPPET: “We started getting a number of hits earlier today from people searching for Samir Khan’s magazine “Jihad Recollections”. Odd given that the magazine was published in early April. But I guess Sammy is always good for a few hits as a surprising number of Americans are shocked each and every time a jihadist living amongst us is exposed — even if it’s the same jihadi over and over again.

The hits can be explained by this Fox article which has some good analysis of the magazine from Steve Emerson and Jarret Brachman. It also has this odd comment:

It is not clear what connection, if any, the magazine has to Al Qaeda or its followers. It is published by the “Al Fursan Media Foundation,” but FOX News could not find such an organization or a way to contact them for comment.
Hey Fox, call me. I have contact info if you want it.

And, yes, al Fursan is a real organization. However, it is a virtual organization.”

« Guess Who?

Ignored Puzzle Pieces Takes Next Step…

This morning, American jihadist website, Ignored Puzzle Pieces of Knowledge, posted an old video of a guy who armored a bulldozer and went wreaking havoc in a small town. He destroyed buildings, cars and basically anything in his way.

Here’s how the admin (presumably Sammy) captioned this video:

“This guy caused over $7 million in damage in a small town. Imagine if he were to do something like this in NYC?”

Now, work with me here. We’ve got an American-made website that is dedicated to praising al-Qaida and espousing its ideology now posting: “imagine if he were to do something like this in NYC…”

That’s not just some rhetorical afterthought - it’s AGENDA-SETTING. It’s a direct call for someone to consider applying this lesson themselves. It’s an appeal for someone to commit an act of terrorism in New York City masked in an off-hand observation.

See, the boyz over at Ignored/Al-Fursan have kicked the radical can a few more steps down the road lately - they’re no longer content being couch-jihtatoes (new one). They want action. They’re feeling their oats now with the success of Jihad Recollections. Extremism is like a drug - it takes incresaingly more of it to feel the effects each time.

They realize that they have developed a small following of like-minded individuals who look to them for advice and counsel - American jihadists are sloppy, lazy and disconnected so they need handholding. This website offers that outstretched hand - it is precisely what Abu Musab al-Suri called for (and we know that Sammy knows al-Suri).

This is not good news for America - But I’ll keep ringing the bell about how nefarious these guys are along with Dr. Rusty at Jawa and others…

Oh, and here’s the video that they’re using as a terrorism case-study.

“Yes, We Are Terrorists. Allah Loves Terrorists.”

SNIPPET: “Laura Mansfield noticed this up at jihadist forums this weekend. Hope she doesn’t mind me putting it up. I’d link to her but she doesn’t have a post about it.

The person at the forum is quoting Al Qaeda ideologue Abu Mus’ab al Suri, author of Call to Global Islamic Resistance. Al-Suri claims that terrorism is not only tolerated in Islam, but that Islam demands terrorism:”

“Meanwhile, in Charlotte......”

SNIPPET: “Just in case you didn’t already know where Samir Khan stood on the “should American soldiers be killed for wanting to share Christianity?” question:

And this now gives the Mujahideen a higher spirit and greater reason to fight and massacre as many US Soldiers as possible. In addition, it will attract more Muslims to the Jihadi Cause to fight this Crusader Army who came to our lands to fight for their false religion. [emphasis mine]

Now, Samir will argue that he’s not advocating the killing of American soldiers, but, come on. Notice that he uses “our” when talking about the lands in which jihadis fight U.S. soldiers?

I wonder if tough guy Sam thinks of himself as a jihadi?

Why are we jihadi’s [sic] quiet about the CIA torture memos that have been dominating the news in the United States? [emphasis mine]

I guess so.

But as bad as Samir is in inciting Muslims to kill his fellow Americans, his readers are worse:

-— May Allah destroy them through the hands of the Jundullah in Afghanistan. Ameen!
-— May Allah destroy them through the hands of the Jundullah in Afghanistan. Ameen!

Ya Rabb Ameen!!!!!

-—If ye find not a sharpening block,
Sharpen ye then ye sword upon the neck of the infidel…

Takbir!

Can someone tell me why this doesn’t rise to the level of incitement to violence?

Come on Samir, if you’re really such a “tough guy” (pun intended, Sammy knows what I’m talking about) then can you answer one single question: do you support al Qaeda and/or the Taliban?”
