The Google owned Blogger network is hosting an al Qaeda linked website. The website, The Caliphate Voice Channel, appears to be part of the growing media arm of the al Qaeda umbrella organization which once called itself The Mujahidin Shura Council. That group recently changed its name by declaring itself The Islamic State of Iraq.
You can see the al Qaeda linked website here.
If you do visit the website, you will see several of the posts link to various translations of the Global Islamic Media Front's latest installment of the Voice of the Caliphate news program. In it, al Qaeda forces declare that they are winning the war in Iraq. You can see this bit of terrorist propaganda with English subtitles here.
Does Google know that it is hosting a terrorist website? A website from the same group that beheaded Shosei Kodai and Nick Berg? Probably not as of this writing. But I just e-mailed them about it.
Keep your fingers crossed that they will do the right thing, but don't hold your breath.
UPDATE: Howie reminds me that the Baghdad Sniper Juba website is still online. Oh, and it's also still hosted by the Google owned Blogger network. But so is the Juba Sucks website.
UPDATE 11/17/06: Blogger just e-mailed me. It was your typical "we are not responsible for the content" yada yada yada. Read: Yeah, we're helping al Qaeda, go jump in a lake you fascist censorship Nazi!

This is the next move, the current MSM has paved its way and put up
direction signs. MSM open for business in terror proliferation.
Why? because it will sell more news, its a synergistic loop you see.
The MSM reports sensationally on terror news and then encourages them.

"Puisse Allah accepter nos bonnes actions."
I think this means that Allah is a puisse but doesn't have a bone in his nose. It may be some kind of Muslim code or maybe I should stop trying to translate.
