Al Qaida loves the internet

I'm so new at this, I just wrote it and then before I could post it I lost it and I'm redoing it, so here is what I said in so many words...

I got home on Sunday night from a conference. I'd been gone for a week and was dog tired, and sat down on the couch. While flipping through the channels, I ran across a segment on "60 Minutes". It was about Al Qaida on the internet. Do you know there are 5,000 internet sites that are designed to educate and motivate young muslims to be terrorists and martyrs? Then I fell asleep.

Every day in Iraq and Afghanistan 17 year old boys are captured or killed who've been recruited online. The head of US Counter Intelligence says the biggest weapon in the Jihad is the internet. They are showing up from everywhere. There is a "Myspace" type site for radical muslim istruction with chat rooms and message boards. They showed it live and 17,869 were online. (I missed all that while sleeping so I had to go online and review it on CBSnews.com)

That these kids can be so easily duped makes me mad. I wonder how deep their deception and disillusionment must be. Sad. I also wonder what Christian students are doing online. Troubling. Are their conversations leading each other toward the One worth living for? Living a radical life with Jesus, plotting how to love others to the Savior? I hope so.

This was pretty serious for a second post.
