Commenter and Guest Blogger Robin Burke brought us some disturbing news today:
"Also, watch your own email. An email account I've used for posting comments here and at related blogs has sustained multiple virus attacks with Islamic slogans in the last few days. Anyone else having similar attacks? It would be interesting to know if the email address was harvested with a script (in which case others were probably attacked too) or by hand in response to someone who took exception to an opinion I wrote."

If the As-Sahwab clowns are dropping E-Mail bombs with Islamic sloganry, they're dumber than I thought. Understand, the type of activity that they are engaging in is hardly all that difficult for someone who knows what they're doing.
My McAfee reported yesterday AM that it had found a virus and removed it.
Interesting that they are finally attacking anti-ROPMA blogs and their hosts. Surprised it took them so long.
you wish you were important. as if al-qaeda gives a toss about some irrelevant redneck internet circle-jerk.
As long as there's no real life on the net for them to take, let them play. It's better than them planning for the real thing.
Kaveh, it isn't either/or for the jihadists. It's both/and.
We shall not "let them" do anything - hunt them wherever they are, without respite. And if I had my druthers, without mercy.
I got an odd email from someone who thought I was Stephen Green (Vodkapundit), who is one of the many sites that got shut down. I've forwarded it to him to see if he can make any sense of it. (No, no attachments; I'm not about to pass on any viruses!)
Hi.
I got one of those Vodkapundit things too. I didn't pass the news on. Why waste someone's time?
I strongly agree with Joe Katzman that in dealing with jihadists, even the most trivial, no clash is so petty that it's a good idea to give way. Let them give way. We should concede them nothing, and never give them a break unless it's their necks. In general, in war, whatever my enemy wants, he can't have, including the unimportant pleasure of taking cheap shots with impunity. Also, the way these guys think, everything, no matter how seemingly petty, can be jihad, and anything they get away with can be an inspiration to do something a bit less trivial next time.
Hi
Too mush nonsense is made of these threats by Jihadists and Muslims. Thye have no clout or power. Levels of intelligence are reasonably low and thus the virtual e-mail comms are not effective - good news for us all on the net.
