Issue 31 12.09.10 Facebook – The Jihad Network. Events this past month, including the attempted bombings in Portland and Baltimore, and the planned-jihad in Virginia, show that the social networking site is "the new go-to place for Jihadi recruitment, radicalization, and planning". At the same time, radical Islam throughout the world continues to reject the basic human right to Freedom of Expression. The article by The Investigative Project on Terrorism discusses how supporters of jihad are increasingly using Facebook to share tips on implementing terrorist attacks, while Robert Spencer explains how last week’s bomb in Sweden was another step in radical Islam’s war against free speech. Watch the clip of the official Iranian news report that warns of the dangers of Facebook and Twitter – “tools of Western spy agencies”, and exercise your free speech at the Iranium the Movie Facebook fan page. Don’t let Facebook become a Jihad Network! The Jihadist Social Network Underworld IPT News - The Investigative Project on Terrorism "When are these crusaders gonna realize they can't win?," Baltimore bomb plotter Antonio Martinez boasted on his Facebook page on August 4th. "How many more lives are they willing to sacrifice. ALLAHUAKBAR." As details emerge about the plot to bomb a military recruitment center in Baltimore, MD, one thing is clear—Facebook is having a coming out party as the new go-to place for Jihadi recruitment, radicalization, and planning. According to an internal DHS memorandum from early 2010, "jihadi supporters and mujahideen are increasingly using Facebook, one of the largest, most popular and diverse social networking sites, both in the United States and globally, to propagate operational information." While the DHS report, reported on earlier today by FoxNews.com, provides an academic study of terrorist groups' infiltration of social networking sites, an IPT analysis of the Facebook accounts of Martinez and his friends and associates shows that the threat is very real. Sweden: Suicide Bomb Against Free Speech By Robert Spencer It was only a matter of time before jihad suicide bombers started operating in Europe. And now they have begun – in yet another salvo in the war against the freedom of speech that the West has barely noticed. “Now the Islamic state has been created. We now exist here in Europe and in Sweden. We are a reality.” So said an audio file in Arabic and Swedish sent to TT, the Swedish news agency, about 10 minutes before a jihadist suicide bomber killed himself in one of two explosions in central Stockholm Saturday, wounding two people.
