Before I'm labeled a racial profiler or -- worse yet -- a racist, let me add this. A month ago I traveled to India to research a magazine article I was writing. My husband and I flew on a jumbo jet carrying more than 300 Hindu and Muslim men and women on board. We traveled throughout the country and stayed in a Muslim village 10 miles outside Pakistan. I never once felt fearful. I never once felt unsafe. I never once had the feeling that anyone wanted to hurt me. This time was different.ÊFinally, the captain announced that the plane was cleared for landing. It had been four hours since we left Detroit. The fasten seat belt light came on and I could see downtown Los Angeles. The flight attendants made one final sweep of the cabin and strapped themselves in for landing. I began to relax. Home was in sight. Suddenly, seven of the men stood up -- in unison -- and walked to the front and back lavatories. One by one, they went into the two lavatories, each spending about four minutes inside. Right in front of us, two men stood up against the emergency exit door, waiting for the lavatory to become available. The men spoke in Arabic among themselves and to the man in the yellow shirt sitting nearby. One of the men took his camera into the lavatory. Another took his cell phone. Again, no one approached the men. Not one of the flight attendants asked them to sit down. I watched as the man in the yellow shirt, still in his seat, reached inside his shirt and pulled out a small red book. He read a few pages, then put the book back inside his shirt. He pulled the book out again, read a page or two more, and put it back. He continued to do this several more times.") (July 15, 2004)

JAMESTOWN.org - Terrorism Focus: "NEW WEBSITE INCITES ELECTRONIC JIHAD" by Abdul Hameed Bakier (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The latest criticism of Islam being a violent religion, which was sparked by incendiary comments made by Pope Benedict XVI, has caused internet jihadis to launch a new website called Electronic Jihad, located at http://www.al-jinan.org. The purpose of the website is to help organize an electronic jihad against websites that insult Islam and Islamic sacred figures. The site has been well publicized on more established jihadi websites. Jihadi forums are posting quotes from the Quran in order to encourage and convince jihadis and regular Muslims of their duty to engage in electronic jihad and to attack anti-Islamic sites in order to shut them down. Furthermore, postings from August on the Electronic Jihad site already claim that they successfully shut down the Israeli website http://www.haganah.co.il. Thus, it seems that while street protests in response to Western criticism of Islam have died down in the Islamic world, the battle is still raging on the internet." ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On the Electronic Jihad website, the moderator of the website claims that the site organizers do not belong to any specific Islamic group or sect, instead pointing out that they are fighting on behalf of all Muslims, united under one flag to defend Islam. The website domain, however, is registered to an "Ahmad Adel" who has an Iraq mailing address, although it is not clear whether this is a false name and address. The site itself appears to be hosted by Saudi Arabian company IBTEKARAT.com, based in Saida. Software companies and programmers will, eventually, figure out ways to counter the hacking programs used by Electronic Jihad, but it will only hold off the determined jihadis temporarily until they devise other methods to attack sites that they believe offend Islam.")

While in the past, the Pakistani pan-Islamic organisations and the ISI have been taking advantage of the pockets of anger in the Indian Muslim community for their strategic objectives against India, since March this year, Al Qaeda has been trying to take advantage of them for its own pan-Islamic and anti-US objectives. In view of the increased interactions between the US and India, it is likely to look upon India as providing a fertile soil for its anti-US operations. 20. The impact of Al Qaeda's propaganda and ideology on the minds of Indian Muslim youth, its possible inspiration behind the blasts of July 11 and likely threats to American interests in India from Al Qaeda need close attention. The Madrid blasts of March, 2004, were preceded by strong anti-Spain propaganda by Al Qaeda. The London blasts of July 7, 2005, were preceded by strong anti-UK propaganda by it. Anti-India statements of Al Qaeda since March, 2006, need to be closely monitored and not dismissed lightly as of no consequence. 21.
