Internet Providers Still Helping Wage Jihad Online by Michelle Oddis
Spreading terrorism around the world and in the United States relies on one essential tool -- the internet.
Most Jihadi websites use forums, chat rooms, and blogs to aid terrorists in recruitment, weapons training, and bomb making techniques. Their webpage mastheads boast slogans in Arabic such as “Kill the Americans Wherever They Are.” The Washington Post reported that the Fort Dix Six “came together because of a shared infatuation with internet images of jihad, or holy war,” and other reports confirmed that Jihadist websites influenced the planned attack on JFK airport and attempted bombings in the UK.
Still, the most puzzling aspect of online jihad is that American internet service providers (ISPs) or domain name registrars often remain ignorant of them -- and worse -- some that become aware of the terrorist-related sites don’t take action to block them.
