A North Carolina-based blogger has become a significant distributor of Jihadist propaganda in the United States. Samir Khan, known online as inashaAllhashaheed (Arabic for "God willing a martyr"), uses his blog, Revival, to distribute English translations of Al Qaeda materials, links to videos produced by terrorist groups and original commentary in support of jihad.

Revival, launched in December 2007, is the latest in a series of blogs created by Khan. One of the earlier incarnations of Revival, called inshaAllahshaheed, was shut down by Islamic Network, a blog hosting company, after Khan was the subject of an October 2007 newspaper account about terrorist sympathizers distributing Al Qaeda propaganda to U.S. audiences.  Islamic Network currently hosts Revival.

Khan, 22, was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and moved to Queens, New York, with his family when he was seven. As a teenager, Khan become involved with Tanzeem-e-Islami, a radical anti-Semitic group based in Pakistan. The group currently operates in the U.S. under the name Islamic Organization of North America (IONA). 

In 2004, Khan moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, with his parents, where he currently lives.  At that time, Khan used a mainstream blog hosting service to create his inshaAllahshaheed blog, which mainly included materials about Tanzeem-e-Islami. He later created a new blog with the same name on Islamic Network, where he began posting materials related to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
