Unfortunately, I was not aware until just this morning that my Jihad News Feeds site had gone off-line due to server error. It was down for two days but is now back and working and I am hopeful it will stay that way. If you are unfamiliar with Jihad News Feeds, it is a little project I tossed together to help organize each day’s news related to Anti-Jihad, Jihad, Islam and Sharia. Bookmark it today.

Foehammer, Jihad News Feeds automated the way you have is great, otherwise, it would be a full time job!
I have various other news feeds on my blog, some in the sidebar and others on a static WordPress page. Some are general or tech news, some specifically terrorism-related. You are welcome to copy the source code and adapt it to fit your aggregator.
This was my first exposure to Jihad News Feeds. ‘Excellent’ isn’t saying enough. Thank you, Foehammer!
@Sounder & Nikita: I’m glad you find JNF useful.
@1389: As much as I might like to add even more feeds to the aggregator, I’m already pushing the limits of my hosting company as it is. I carefully selected each feed and I’m quite confident they represent the very best information in this field that is available. It shall have to suffice as is until I can afford to upgrade to a dedicated server, and as things stand today, that is a long, long way off…
WebSense has the Anvil miscategorized as “Games”:
WebSense(less) Plays Censorship Games on the Enemy Team
The Internet has been playing “games” with my site for months, so I suppose it’s not so completely unfitting a category.
If it is games they want lets play one of our own. This fighting them from the outside will be a constant game of tag. What is needed is a brave, patriotic, smart and cunning employee inside the companies that use these filters to access jihadist material of any kind at the same time exposing the blocking of harmless or misclassified sites. The employee would need to be ready to put their butt on the line and let it proceed to the point that they threaten… termination. When that happens, take them to court. But make sure what you have done is well documented. It is one thing to block access to the net from work, it is another to allow connection to certain company and job related sites. It is something else to filter, that sounds much too Stalinist for America don’t you agree? Am I on the right track? Chime in, two or more heads are better than one, as long as they all have separate bodies.
I agree that it would be great to get inside those censorware vendors and expose some of their uglier activities, especially on behalf of unsavory foreign governments.
But until someone can make that happen, about all we can do is to keep playing whack-a-mole.
