Al-Qaeda threatens President Bush

Al-Qaida's Adam Gadahn, one of the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists, is urging his fellow Muslims to meet President Bush with bombs when he visits the Middle East, according to a new video posted on the Internet Sunday.

Although Adam Gadahn is U.S.-born, he dramatically tore up his U.S. passport as part of a symbolic protest against the U.S. in the nearly hour-long hystrionical tape, showing his excessive emotionality and attention-seeking personality disorder.

The release comes just three days before Bush is scheduled to arrive in Israel for a weeklong trip that will also bring him to the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt as part of his push for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement ( Fat chance of that ever happening. ) Adam Gadahn said:
"Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula ... to be ready to receive the Crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula in the beginning of January and to receive him not with flowers or clapping but with bombs and booby-trapped vehicles," Gadahn said in Arabic.
I am pleased that Gadahn delineated that there was once an entity known as Muslim Palestine because the fact of the matter is that there was also once a Jewish Palestine. Muslims just like Adam Gadahn rejected the partition when they were offered it, Jews accepted it; now Muslims have regrets, and Jews have Israel. Muslims just like Adam Gadahn started a war with the civilized world, now they must pay the consequences.

Get a good look at Adam Gadahn, everyone. He is why we are over there, so that Muslim mass murderers like Adam Gadahn don't cut our heads off over here.

The Looming Threat of Internet Jihad

Received by email, from Brigitte Gabriel:
Last week, American Congress for Truth, ACT for America’s “sister” organization, broke the possibility of an Al Qaeda cyber-attack after our exclusive interview with Joseph Shahda on November 1st. DEBKAfile, an Israeli military intelligence blog, reported on the dynamics behind the looming “Internet Jihad.” Shahda went into the ‘net and translated specific al Qaeda instructions to its cadres of internet warriors. Fox News then issued a story last Friday. Click the link below to read the Fox News story.

In a follow-up interview with Joseph Shahda, he told us the software that has been developed by some internet terrorists basically attacks an internet site by going after its bandwidth. In other words, each person who uses this software can go to a given website and make it appear that hundreds of people are using the site at the same time, which will eventually lead to crushing the website or sometimes costing the website a lot of money to handle the "fake" bandwidth. The software can also do hacking functions. In fact the internet terrorists claim now that they have a new version of the program called "Electronic Jihad 3.0" ready to be used by hundreds if not thousands of terrorists online to attack other sites.

We in ACT and ACT for America are evaluating tactical approaches to go on the offensive against the growing threat of “Internet Jihad.” Stay tuned...

Keystroke logging software installed via your favorite YouTube jihadi video?

Oh, Allah, say it ain't so. Online Videos May Be Conduits for Viruses via Internet Haganah:
One worm discovered in November 2006 launches a corrupt Web site without prompting after a user opens a media file in a player. Another program silently installs spyware when a video file is opened. Attackers have also tried to spread fake video links via postings on YouTube.

That reflects the lowered guard many computer users would have on such popular forums.

"People are accustomed to not clicking on messages from banks, but they all want to see videos from YouTube," Rouland said.

Another soft spot involves social networking sites, blogs and wikis. These community-focused sites, which are driving the next generation of Web applications, are also becoming one of the juiciest targets for malicious hackers.

Computers surfing the sites silently communicate with a Web application in the background, but hackers sometimes secretly embed malicious code when they edit the open sites, and a Web browser will unknowingly execute the code. These chinks in the armor could let hackers steal private data, hijack Web transactions or spy on users.
