1/ Dear Terrorist Organizations,

Do remember to renew your website registrations.

This is the Facebook page for the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA), a designated terrorist group used by Bin Laden. facebook.com/Islamic-Relief…

(continued...)

2/ Perhaps because of the tumult in Sudan last year, leading to the removal of the genocidal Bashir regime, ISRA's operations were evidently thrown into disarray. But it's still active, as its FB page shows. However, it managed to let its website (listed on its FB page) expire.

3/ So I bought this designated terrorist group's domain name. A steal at around $10.

4/ Now all visitors to israagn.org are redirected to the investigation carried out by @meforum, revealing that ISRA collaborated with Western Christian charity, @WorldVision, to deceitfully obtain U.S. taxpayers' money through an international aid program.

5/ This was a scandal that made international headlines, led to investigations by members of Congress, and was verified by fact-checking website Snopes. snopes.com/fact-check/oba…

6/ But @ISRAORG, I'm afraid I cannot sell you your domain name back, as that would literally be financing a terrorist organization. This would be really rather illegal and, of course, deeply immoral (something that @WorldVision never quite figured out).

7/ (In fact, for more on @WorldVision's deplorable role in this sordid affair, see here: meforum.org/islamist-watch…)

8/ I hereby encourage all to keep a very close eye on the domain name expirations of extremist groups all across the globe. Whether, far-Right, far-Left or Islamist, buy them up, and then redirect them to something fun.
