Internet is "the new Afghanistan"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Internet is the new battleground against Islamist extremism because it provides ideology that could radicalize Westerners who might then initiate home-grown attacks, New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly said on Wednesday.

"The Internet is the new Afghanistan," Kelly said, as he released a New York Police Department (NYPD) report on the home-grown threat of attacks by Islamist extremists. "It is the de facto training ground. It's an area of concern."

Meh.  And here I thought all it was just used for was pr0n and gaming.  Full article here.

Yeah, I get bored sometimes.

If you've some time on your hands and an interest in finding out just what Islam really is all about, check out the books by Craig Winn, which he's provided, in whole, free, on his website, prophetofdoom.net.

With a Koran translation site open in a new browser window to cross-check, the flagship book, Prophet of Doom was very helpful in divining just what Islam is, does, stands for, and wants to accomplish.

Hint: it's not looking good for most of us, those who claim it to be a "religion of peace"...

If Afghanistan = place US gov't ostensibly exercises control
Then Internet does indeed = exactly that

If exposure to ideas = danger
Then NYPD commish = prudent

If US culture = assimilation
Then does that = identity?

what Islam really is all about


@ WeedWhackah: I recommend you read some books by someone else, as well (try Paul Johnson's Modern Times for a somewhat differently-biased conservative version of the current state of affairs in the West's approach to the faith of the Prophet)

please peruse the strange bedfellows of your new hero

that took all of thirty seconds to find
that's why they want to restrict your access to information
so they can just tell you whatever they want you to believe with their cherry-picked version of events
and you're just happy to have someone tell you what to think
:roll:

beware the man of one book

Mark 15:24, “I have not come to bring peace, but the sword.”

I highly recommend the works of Hazrat Inayat Khan.

You may want to also look up semantics, epistemology, and reality-tunnel. Have an educational day. :D

Look out it's the subversive nature of the internet at work, exposing Americans to new ideas which might "radicalize" them, which I guess is double-talk for "open the mind of".

"Geez, I think I'll just get my ideas wholesale from a snake-oil salesman and neocon corporate-Christian anti-Semitic huckster with ties to the religious right and the oligarchy's power structure (not to mention the secret cults). Me am critical thinker. Doh!"

P.S. Nice spamlink stealthtroll. Grade: phail.

If this is what passes for critical analysis of information sources in this country then the terrorists really have won.

maybe you need to "divine" (nice choice of word there) just what your new fave writer "is, does, stands for and wants to accomplish"

if you are the future of America, the republic will surely be sold before it can be stolen
