YouTube hosts jihadist video crowing over death of American soldier

It's good that YouTube took it down, but it only did so under pressure, and in any case its record is hardly spotless -- it isn't called DhimmiTube and JihadTube for nothing. And what about this "American-based extremist"? Is anyone watching him at all?

"Islamic extremist taunts British servicemen with web video of U.S. soldier's death," from the DailyMail (thanks to Twostellas):

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.

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.

As YouTube viewers and horrified servicemen watched the graphic film a caption at the bottom of the screen read: "Sniping of an American wild fat donkey."

The terrorist sympathiser, going by the name of "jihad4life4eva2", sent the message through the Forces Reunited soldier's network.

At least 14 serving British soldiers received fundamentalist's terrifying video message.

Soldiers have also reacted angrily after discovering that the jihad supporter had been allowed to have his own page on the internet site YouTube, which contained 15 other clips.

The website bosses reportedly refused to remove the fanatic's films, but after mounting pressure, it was finally taken off the site.

These Islamists, want Western Infidels to be out of Muslim lands. Well, it is only fair that we would like Muslims out of Christian lands.

The problem is that we let these fools get away with it.

The West has grown overly permissive and tolerant of those who would destroy us.

I bet he wouldn't be so cocky if he knew that there was a real chance of him being arrested, all his assets seized, and him thrown in prison for about 5 years.

I'd like to publish the islamo-cretin's address. Anyone have an idea where in the US he might live? I could imagine that a few marines might like to pay him a visit. Off-duty of course :-)

And who could forward a copy of that video to Juan MexiCaine so that he can ponder those difficult decisions re. waterboarding and all the other horrible things we do to those poor terrorists.

Muslims fill file-sharing services like Rapidshare with video files of US soldiers being murdered. Too bad big media is covering up a salient fact: these are sold on the streets of every Iraqi city. Remember Cheney's redundant vomit: "We freed 50,000,000 people." We unleashed genocidal jihad.

Repulsive. I agree: I hope law enforcement is tracking this poster down and investigating him, not just taking his video down.

One othersmall thing caught my eye, also. The poster's screen name is: "jihad4life4eva2". This would seem to imply that "jihad4life4eva" had already been taken. God help us.

Why should we be surprised at these videos. This war is being waged on all venues, period. This must not be forgotten. We can just as easily counter. Not with jihads being blown to bits or whatever, but with insults, ranker and innuendo about the religion of peace. OH! that is just telling the truth, never mind.

Seriously like I and a few others have posted. Throw it back in their teeth. Offend the Koran, their prophet and god. They have a very obvious soft spot. Their POV is not to be questioned and any criticism is treated as an offense. So OFFEND!

I suggest this not to change them but to change western opinion. Islam is masquerading in virtue and piousity. In fact it is insane, vial, satanic and utterly inhuman. Make this obvious by noting their reaction.

"jihad4life4eva2" deserves to be terminated with extreme prejudice.

Certain "website bosses" deserve to be removed from their positions of power--one way or another (I would opt for the "another," but will remain mum on this subject).

It is not impossible to locate "jihad4life4eva2" and make certain that "4life" and "4eva2" is celebrated by him in what he thinks will be "paradise."

I suggest nothing, I only am recording fleeting thoughts that come to one when faced with a near-future choice between self-inflicted death or one at others' hands when refusing an offer "that leaves no room for refusal."

How carefully one is forced to tread--even in this "land of the free" with its guaranteed "freedom of speech" that can be cut down by such curtailment as "but not 'incitement'" or the most powerful weapon of those that would gag us: "hate speech."

Oh how one must parse words and "tread on eggs" to try to elude the "catchers."

This is not free speech, but an incitement to murder. It is time that law enforcement pursue such people. If the statutory authority is even slightly in doubt, federal and state laws should be revised to encompass such violent behavior. Also, when prosecuting such a person, a minimum prison sentence should be imposed. Fines, probation, and community service as penalties are wholly inappropriate when dealing with such a person.

Is Youtube an American company?

Posted by: Allah Schmallah [TypeKey Profile Page] at March 10, 2008 12:54 AM

There must be laws on the books that would apply for a situation like this.

Maybe the USA should block the Jihatube for a few weeks..

The Paks got away with that pressure tactic and they ain't sh*t.

Just wondering. Can the WWW be deigned to countries or area of the world? We have heard in the past were they use this technology to communicate, teach, propagandize etc. Why should we be giving aid to the enemy? If it can't be shut off, monitor any site that is clearly in the enemies control and turn it off. Up to and including forcibly removing servers, dishes and any infrastructure that enable them to have access to the WEB. The only reason to let some continue would be to monitor and gather intel.

It is interesting to note how quickly You Tube response to the tender sensibilities of the Mohammedan over a complaint from CAIR if a video so much as shows Mohammedanism in a bad light.

But they are reluctant to deal with a video gloating over death if the Mohammedan like it.

Perhaps we need a congressional investigation after all congress has time to care about over pay athletes injecting drugs, they sure have time to look into what is beginning to appear as an enemy propaganda machine.

Isn't it nice to know that there's plenty of internet companies out there like 'YouTube' that will wait and hand and foot on the global jihadists' every filming need and want??
