From Thailand's Nation:
In a stall recently set up near the historic Krue Se Mosque, a young man is busy selling VCDs, CDs and books that mostly cover various aspects of Islam. One of the VCDs is entitled "Global Jihad Movements".The stall owner, a native of Pattani who spoke on condition of anonymity, tells me while I glance at his extensive range of products that VCDs on jihad have sold out quickly after the April 28 incident at the mosque which left 32 suspected insurgents dead.
In all, 108 suspected insurgents died on April 28, while five security personnel also perished.
The Islamic word jihad has often been associated with international terrorism since the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
"The VCDs on jihad have been selling like hotcakes," he says.
The young businessman tells me that he usually sells his goods at major mosques in Pattani and Yala, including the Central Mosque of Pattani. He set up a stall at Krue Se Mosque after April 28.
"There are a series of VCDs on jihad movements in Afghanistan, Chechnya and also about [Osama] bin Laden," he says, adding that his merchandise comes from Malaysia.
It is hard to know what the buyers of these VCDs have in mind. Perhaps they want to know more about how fellow Muslims pursue jihad - the struggle against any act of aggression in defence of Islam - in other countries.
Jihadwatch is occasionally discovered by those hoping to learn more about how to wage violent jihad and who are subsequently disappointed to learn that the site is against it.

Develop an explosive DVD. Record some terrorist crap on it and sell it. Design it so it blows up when exposed to DVD-playing laser.
LOL, yeah Sue...have to say pretty much all Islam seems to have done for all countries it is in, is cause dicord, violence and poverty to worsen.
(Mohommed did claim to be working for a good guy, right?)
Doomsayer, think we could covertly insert an internet tracking code on those discs too?
If NSA hasn't already done something like that, might make job a lot easier.
PC people, this is a world-wide push to end western civilization as well as establish Islam as the ONLY allowed religion on the face of the earth. There is not one place on the face of the earth that isn't in danger. China has the same problems with Muslem insurgents that Russia is seeing. Mind you, I see this as a fundamentalist problem, not Islam per se. Regardless, we people of the west need to wake up and smell the coffee. The crusades have returned, but this time it's not the Christian waging it. In the middle ages, Christians won, not because of any great morality, but because they fought to win...we need to do the same but without the religious garbage.

Picture this. Cheerleaders for Jihad. We see a line of burqa'ed women (who can tell, we'll assume) hunched over, struggling to walk under 65 yards of fabric to the center of the soccer field (once used for all those jolly beheadings) and they begin their cheer. "Gimme an A."
Wait. Did they ask for an A? Who can tell, they're talking thru 6 layers of material.
Never fear, Infidels, our spunky cheerleaders were warned in advance that if they allowed an ankle to show, they'd become the entertainment. Kneel down and expose your neck so we can demonstrate to the world how much we respect women. Shhwing!
