U.S. Blogger Distributes Jihadist Propaganda RULE Revival

Posted: February 6, 2008


Introduction
Revival
Islamic Network
Tanzeem-e-Islami

While Revival describes itself as a venture of "a handful" of Sunni Muslim bloggers who "follow the Salafi Jihadi" creed, there are several indications that it is the latest version of Samir Khan's previous inshaAllahshaheed blog.  In addition to both blogs being hosted by Islamic Network and sharing similar themes, Revival explicitly describes itself as "the bloggers of inshallahshaheed (a.k.a., revival)."  Some of the content on Revival can also be found on an online photo album maintained by Khan.

 

The blog claims to provide information about "the lands of Jihad," describing itself as "a channel against the Western media since they only bring lies and deception." The "about" section of Revival features a list of Muslim extremists and terrorists, who are described as "scholars of Islam in this age whom we follow and support." It includes former Al Qaeda in Iraq commander, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed in June 2006, and Abu Layth al-Libi, a top Al Qaeda commander killed in January 2008 during an American aerial attack in Pakistan.

 

One section of the blog provides original essays calling on Muslims to take up arms against Western democracies.  One of the essays - part of a series called "The Love for Jihad" - encourages Muslims to become mujahideen, or holy warriors. "O Believing Mujahid! Don't let Shaytan [Satan] fool you into other Islamic careers when the Lord of Mercy has given you the ability to obtain His Mercy through warfare and martyrdom." Another essay in the series declares, "We hate America and her allies for the sake of Allah and we supplicate to Allah that He destroys them completely."

 

Revival has also produced its own terrorist propaganda video, available on YouTube and elsewhere.  A link to the video, which celebrates jihad, was posted on Revival on January 21, 2008. The video, titled "We are the Mountains," features footage of attacks against American forces from both mainstream and terrorist sources. It includes graphic images and is accompanied by an English language song encouraging Muslims to "come to the jihad."  The song also says, "The men you will be facing are of a certain kind who love to taste their deaths as you love to taste your wines…We're soldiers of religion…The best raised in this nation who establishes the truth and fights against the evils their people and their troops. We'll never compromise and never negotiate. The only thing between us and you is the AK."

 

Revival, which has been operating in its current form since December 2, 2007, is hosted by Islamic Network (IN), a Houston, Texas-based internet company.
