Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught
anaesthetica writes "The Washington Post is carrying a story on a young man suspected to be the al-Qaeda hacker 'Irhabi 007'. From the article: 'Celebrated for his computer expertise, Irhabi 007 had propelled the jihadists into a 21st-century offensive through his ability to covertly and securely disseminate manuals of weaponry, videos of insurgent feats such as beheadings and other inflammatory material... The Internet has presented investigators with an extraordinary challenge. But our future security is going to depend increasingly on identifying and catching the shadowy figures who exist primarily in the elusive online world.'"
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
A muslim will hate us for two reasons, and some will even hate us for all two: Reason 1: This reason is personal and even as far as I'm concerned highly understandable: They lost someone close during a bombing raid. No matter how kooky they are I feel bad _even_ for the Taliban who has his wife and children buried dead under rubble. Reason 2: The hate us for the freedoms we had, still have and even might still keep even with scum like Clinton and Bush. They hate us that we drink liquor, our women can run around half naked (as far as they're concerned), we don't bow before their (Moon-)god, and most of all we don't respect them because most obviously their's is a culture held back by centuries of medieval custom and we just can't respect people that cut their fellow man's hands off or gouge their eyes out.They hate us the most for not being like them for not acting like them and for not being zapped by highboltage lightning bolts coming off an enraged Allah. Even though Bush has gone a long way to prevent teenage pregnancy "by abstinence" (harhar, how patently stupid!) he has yet to come up with laws that female thighs may not be exposed more than one inch over the knee or prohibit halterless tops. As far as the islamist kooks are concerned, even though we're losing our freedoms to their viewpoint it would be like prohibiting prostitution in front of the temple and telling the whores to service the priests under the altar instead.
