Researcher Says Social Networks Link Terrorists

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-have-a-terrorist-request dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At the International Conference on Cyber Security 2009 in New York, Evan Kohlmann, a senior investigator and private consultant for Global Terror Alert, claimed that a new breed of terrorists are using online forums to recruit people who align themselves with the mission of Al Qaeda, creating global networks of would-be terrorists."

    If there's a real cause for concern, it's within the prison system in the US. Many are short on chaplains, and they're being filled with muslim chaplains with better funding. It's one aspect of how Christians are failing domestically with the Great Commission.

    You know I always thought about this one.

    If I go back and think about when I lost my virginity I have say it was not the most exciting of times. Sure great now you "officially" did it, but it is a hell of a lot more interesting as time went along.

    So somebody who thinks, "oh yes 50 times this" must actually be some kind of nut case. It is a really imaginative bit of brainwashing.

    I bet many are quite envious of this...
