The thing I find scariest is that you can find lots of these sites in English on the net -- wonder how many are in Arabic.

1. what is it?

some CIA-FBI-created "jihad" site that's actually collecting info and attempting to ensnare people keen on fighting the not-so-good fight?

a description would be good before IP addresses are logged and some sweaty guys break down the door, huffin' and puffin' about homeland security.

3. its a fundamentalist islamic site

and it could very well be what you describe.

[thebigidea]

4. yeah, thought so...

I've seen a few suspicious websites since 9/11 that reek of high-grade spookwork.

I'm still kinda freaked about the whole "fake moderate muslim" thing they have cooking. The full extent of these programs should make interesting reading in a decade or two. Or three. Or never.

5. this one is pretty creepy

your suspicions are on target. scary fucking times we live in.

10. I missed the JIhad part of the site..

Seems like they have done a good job of NOT calling for violence but leave it up to the reader to decide/interperate. Maybe I missed it..

2. hey, they've even got a pop-up advertiser....

...somebody's peddling mortgages on that site.
who the hell would advertise on a site like that?
unless....yeee! Don't even wanna think about it.

11. I don't get pop ups

did you say mortgages?? The site even rails against interest!! LOL

6. They are using a non-Allah approved weapon

Has the AK fallen to the M16?

7. bwhahahah. I bet its some CIA dork under the hood

Geez, guys. At least try to get the props right.

[Fish Eye]

13. Good eye!

maybe other posters were righ ...it is probably some cia dude all dressed up...

8. You know what I love about radical muslim terriorist sites?

They're so slick and professionally designed. In between stoning people and plotting to blow up infidels, they manage to hire the top web designers.

[thebigidea]

12. yeah, they do good work at the OSP

real good work.

14. So you think it's a joke?

Check out their links -- these don't look like some sort of CIA plot. Why is it so easy for some to rail against so-called Christian fundamentalists or so-called hard-line Jews but be suspicious that hate sites from Muslims are really fake?

[thebigidea]

15. and what, pray tell - is the "look" of some sort of CIA plot in your view?

"Why is it so easy for some to rail against so-called Christian fundamentalists or so-called hard-line Jews but be suspicious that hate sites from Muslims are really fake?"

so-called christian fundamentalists? Are some of them NOT REALLY fundies? Er? Uh?

And, golly - I don't know why I'd be suspicious of a government that admitted to creating phony Muslim clerics and would find this sort of website very handy for a sting operation.

9. Well besides getting us all on Ashcroft hit list it looks like a come on
