Hosting Provider Shut Down By FBI

Posted by timothy on from the lesson-for-the-pr-department dept.

An Anonymous Reader writes: "An 80-strong U.S. FBI agents raided the Texas-based host of Arabic Web sites, including that of the Arab world's leading independent news channel, prompting charges on Thursday of an 'anti-Muslim witchhunt.'" The Reuters story is at Yahoo! as well. Did you know there was a North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force, or that it would be shutting down ISPs?

    While I too am wary of government intrusion, I don't think there's much of a need to get worked up over this story. The fact is, this Arab provider is most likely hosting sites that are pro Arab terror.

    There is absolutely no question, though, that the sites in question are Jew-hating anti-American and anti-Israel; I have absolutely no sympathy that the law has caught up to this host, since I don't doubt they have broken the law. I have to assume that they are funneling funds to terrorist organizations.

    Remember, there is no such thing as Palestine, and there is no such thing as "Palestinian" people. Anyone who contends anything to the contrary is a fool and a liar.

    that those turds at the FBI would be suspicious of Arab oriented media and people groups, with all that's going on over in the Mid-East right now. But this borders on harassment.

    But it's just like a bunch of Camel Jockeys and Hucka_lukas to blow it all out of proportion.

    The truth is that those fucking Dune Coons are pissing people off all over the world. Europe tolerates them and thier Theo-fascist bent.
    Americans tolerate them, even when thier threatening to light off chemical bombs in downtown New York, because somebody said something derogatory about "Allah".

    Even the fucking Russians and Chinese, despite the fact that they do Arms business with the Punjabs, are really getting tired of thier "jihad" bullshit.

    Now we cant even have a fucking website without Abba Dabba calling the upstream provider and getting the access yanked because he didn't like what saw. This is supposed to be a free country (here in the U.S.). "SUPPOSED" is the key word.
    Hey Abba Dabba, wake up, or one morning you and your Pull Start buddies are gonna find yourselves in the middle of a Mushroom cloud.

    Fair and square implies that the FBI stopped interfering and returned all equipment in the same condition they took it. If they had to start up from different servers, obviously the FBI is still interfering with, or somehow damaged the original servers. But of course you're a troll, if you say things as idiotic as the above post, so I'm wasting my time replying. You damn time wasting turd licker.

    Man, you guys are fucking clueless. You're such fucking pansies, and idiots. Wake the FUCK up. These servers were connected with terrorism. They were funneling money to Hamas and other -TERRORIST- groups. You're so fucking blind.

    So many of you need a big fucking slap upside the head.
