Another Online Jihadi Arrested in Spain

UPDATE: He's the administrator of the Ansar al Mujahideen Forum (Arabic) -- also called the as-Ansar forum! I put up an entire new post on this. Just click the link.

I hate to publish this. In a perfect world the eHadis would continue to believe that they are doing nothing wrong, that the police don't care about them, or that free speech covers explicit support for terrorism.

ISRIA:

The individual arrested, Faical Errai, is a 26-year-old Moroccan citizen resident in Spain who is accused of using the Internet to undertake activities in support of Jihadist terrorism.

According to investigations carried out by the Guardia Civil [Spanish Civil Guard], Faical Errai is allegedly the person who registered and paid for the hosting of an Internet website with explicitly Jihadist content which, besides being set up as a platform for the spread of propaganda material, is aimed at attracting, indoctrinating and recruiting sympathisers in order to ultimately promote the most extreme and violent interpretation of the Jihad.

Faisal also used the websites to raise money for terrorists in Chechnya & Afghanistan.

Neighbors describe him as integrated into the community, a great guy, and one who could be counted on to volunteer for community events.

Which once again just shows that promoters of evil usually lead pretty mundane lives.
