Roads to Iraq

Beware the IraqSlogger

I came across this link:

What is IraqSlogger? [via Keld Bach]

From the first day I didn’t trusted this Blog and every day shows that my guess was right, tt’s just happened that I accidentally saw an article called “Jihadists Read, Mock New U.S. Army Guide� written on IraqSlogger by “Eason Jordan�, and saved it for later posting.

I can understand if the article was written by an amateur Blogger or a journalist from tabloid newspaper [the one you get for free in train stations] but not by somebody call himself a professional journalist?

I am not clarifying Al-Tajded or other Arabic websites and forums, and I am not interested in these Islamic forums I am just trying to explain the truth.

So, what is wrong with the article?

1- The writer refers to Al-Tajdeed as Jihadists forum, the reality is Al-Tajdeed is an Islamic forum, you can read article about Islamic literature, Quran Audios, Islamic law, Islamic library…..etc, the same as Islammemo do, the writer refers to one section in the forum called “Islamic nation newsâ€?.

2- Since the words Jihadists, Islamists and Al-qaeda are totally mixed in the western world, I assume that the writer describes the forum as terrorist’s forum.

This is the front page of Al-Tajdeed, as you see:

These Jihadists are so “stupid” that you can phone them in UK, Fax them and email them even they published their post address , articles are not even protected by passwords, you can just click on every article and read it. Is this souds like Jihadi way?

3- The writer said:

Routinely calls for the killing of U.S. and British forces in Iraq; praises bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the 9/11 attacks; and whose sponsor, Mohamed al Massari, has called for the assassination of George Bush and Tony Blair.

The political section in Al-Tajded is not the only one on the net, there are hundreds of such forums Islamic and non-Islamic, angry Muslims and seculars writing the same thing, [and literally I mean hundreds, think about Al-Furateen, Al-Kala’a, al-Umma …etc]. Visit every Iraqi non-Islamic forum and you can find much worst information than Al-Tajdeed.

This article is misinformation by not saying the whole truth and saying the only the part he needed, please be aware of such Bloggers and websites.

    please be aware of such Bloggers and websites

    BeWare, Be careful, and most of don’t believe anyone.

    trust me.

  2. Al-Tajdeed (tajdeed.net) may very well be forum for radical Islamists. I found some forums with Shiekh Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri prominately displayed in a positive manner. Also, looks as if this website advocates the overthrow of the Saudi government. Using translation software I found reference to the financial standing of the “Mujahadein” in Iraq. Funny how a website originating from the UK does not have any pages in English.

    Thank you for alerting me to this website.
