Jihad with Facebook .

Facebook is a very popular social networking site, not just in the UK but also around the whole world. My workmates are on Facebook and some are more active than others. I have an account with Facebook and I have 36 friends. I am not a fan of Facebook and I only registered in case an 18 year old girl wanted to contact her father for the first time. So, there it is, Stephen is easy to find and he is not hiding in a cave somewhere with other men sporting beards.

Now, some men who do sport beards and who also believe in Islam are also members of Facebook. These men like to party in rather a brutal way, we are not talking real ale and burgers. Ziyad Yaghi, Mohammad Omar Aly Hussain, and six others are active members on Facebook and their interests are not real ale and garden parties.

These Islamic Extremists are quite open about their interests and beliefs. It is quite bold of them to advertise their Jihad on Facebook but there can be other doors that they can open. Remember the London bombings of 7th July 2005? Well, MI5 is facing questions over whether it recruited up to six al Qaeda sympathisers in the rush to find Islamic recruits in the wake of the worst terrorist attacks on mainland Britain for a generation. The Daily Telegraph has learned that six new Muslim recruits were thrown out of the service because of serious concerns about their pasts. Two of the six were said to have attended training camps in Pakistan where they could have come into contact with al-Qaeda recruiters. The remainder had unexplained gaps of up to three months in their curricula vitae.

The recruitment drive was signalled in January 2006 - seven months after the attacks - when MI5 announced plans to hire another 200 officers as their budget expanded, more than 70 per cent of these would be devoted to counter-terrorism. In May 2007 adverts started to appear on the London Underground, while MI5 - together with MI6 - organised for agents to give interviews on the BBC's Asian Network radio service to boost recruitment. Some al-Qaeda terrorists have claimed that they were approached by MI5 to act as informants. In 2007 it emerged that up to eight police officers and civilian staff were suspected of links to extremist groups including al-Qaeda. Some are even believed to have attended terror training camps in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

So, when you next go to a barbecue you could meet some very different people. These guys could have other contacts whose idea of a spectacular is a little different to beer and burgers with friends.
