jihad4life4eva2 Taunted British Sevicemen
A Muslim fanatic sent out a despicable and violent taunt to serving British soldiers when he emailed a video of a U.S. gunner being shot and killed in Iraq.Actually jihad4life4eva2 was this youtubers second account. Andrea smacked down his jihad4life4eva account and that's when he opened the jihad4life4eva2 account.The clip has even been posted on the internet and is accompanied with Arabic chanting as the soldier is slaughtered in Baghdad.
The American-based extremist made the 86-second video, complete with disturbing captions, which showed the soldier's painful death five times and once in slow motion.
Lets take a look at what Youtube's response was to the British soldiers who complained to youtube about allowing users to repost al-Furqan productions. al-Furqan is al-Qaeda in Iraq's media wing. al-Qaeda is a designated terrorist group in both the US and UK.
"We found this nutter was actually allowed a site on YouTube and we complained straight away.No right to complain? That's crazy! Youtube telling people they have no right to complain about the thousands of terrorist productions on youtube?"YouTube at first sent us back a pitiful email saying that if we were not in the video we had no right to complain.
"At least now they have seen sense, but that's only after three days and almost 1,000 people watching it."
The website bosses reportedly refused to remove the fanatic's films, but after mounting pressure, it was finally taken off the site.In fact jihad4life4eva2's entire account was suspended. My guess is he will be back on youtube under another name in short order. Like Rusty says, "Whack a mole."
Apparently these soldiers were pressuring youtube at the same time we were complaining about this user. My records show his first account was suspended via Youtube Smackdown on or about March 1st. We send our first round of complaints about the jihad4life4eva2 youtube account on March 3rd.
The basis our our complaint was that user was posting various videos by known terrorist groups including al-Furqan and JAAMI after being suspended.
The forum the UK soldiers were using is here. If any of our readers have an account there please let them know about the Smackdown!
