A WARNING about Paltalk.com!!!!!

Christians on PalTalk Chat Service Tracked by Radical Islamic Web Site

A radical Islamic Web site systematically tracks Christians on PalTalk.com, an Internet chat service on which a New Jersey man received a death threat two months before he and his family were murdered. The password protected Arabic Web site, at the address www.barsomyat.com, features pictures and information about Christians who have been particularly active in debating Muslims on PalTalk.

One page from barsomyat.com features a group of photographs of a Syrian Christian, "Joseph," who now lives in Canada. Barsomyat.com's users have posted personal information about Joseph, including his brother's parole status, and make clear that they are actively trying to track down his current address.

Subscribers also post explicit warnings to Joseph. One comment states, "Know, oh Christian, that you are not far from us and you are under our watchful eyes!" Another user remarks, "Laugh, oh Christian, and soon you will see a big hit."

Ahmed Paul, an Egyptian Christian and a theology student in America, said he believes Joseph was targeted because he frequently engaged in debates with Muslims on PalTalk. The Internet chat service attracts up to 3 million users a month, and subjects range from movies to music to religion to adult topics - and some Arabic-speaking users of PalTalk have reported that contentious debates between Christians and Muslims are common in certain chat rooms.

Hossam Armanious, a Coptic Christian from Jersey City, N.J., who was found murdered earlier this month, frequently debated with Muslims on PalTalk. Two months before Armanious's murder, authorities said he received a death threat from a Muslim PalTalk user: "You'd better stop this bull ... or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you." On January 14, Armanious and his family - including two daughters, ages 15 and 8 - were found killed in their Jersey City home, bound and gagged with their throats slashed.

Authorities have not determined whether Islamic extremists are to blame for the Armanious family's murder, nor is there any apparent link between the murder and barsomyat.com's tracking of Christians on PalTalk. However, many barsomyat.com users expressed jubilation at the deaths.

One user posted a photograph of Hossam Armanious and wrote, "This is a picture of the filthy dog, curser of Muhammad, and a photo of his filthy wife, curser of Muhammad. They got what they deserved for their actions in America."

In all, about 40 different discussion threads on barsomyat.com berate the Christians of PalTalk, and there are at least seven collections of photographs of PalTalk Christians. The barsomyat.com discussion threads seem to focus on Arabic-speaking Christians rather than those who speak English.

Barsomyat.com features not only photographs of the targeted Christians, but also attempts to track down their addresses. A post about a Christian man whose computer was apparently hacked to obtain his photograph includes the man's PalTalk name, his real name, and the city where he resides in Lebanon.

Another barsomyat.com entry outlines the relations (both blood and marital) between four Christians who are apparently PalTalk users, posts photographs of them, and then states, "We have postponed publishing this information because there is a lot more to be revealed when the time is right."

Even barsomyat.com's banner displays its hatred of Christians. The banner displays a crucifix crossed out by a violent red "X," and the main heading reads in Arabic, "Christians: Revealing the Truth Behind Our Belief."

Judging by the posts, almost all of barsomyat.com's users are Middle Eastern, and they are predominantly Egyptian. Mr. Paul said that's significant because the extremists on barsomyat.com live in societies where people simply do not challenge Islam and would never dream of insulting Prophet Muhammad.

Mr. Paul, who is an Islamic convert to Christianity, said when Islamic radicals from such societies participate in Internet debates with Christians who live in societies that promote free speech, they are often shocked by the Christians' arguments and view their debating opponents as blasphemers. And in the eyes of Islamic extremists, blasphemers are worthy of death.

Author Robert Spencer, who has been following the Armanious case for his Web site Jihad Watch, described barsomyat.com as "extremely important" after it was shown to him.

"I have never seen anything like this before," Mr. Spencer said. "It's chilling to see photographs of people who probably have no idea that they're on the Web site. Hamas's Web site would post self-congratulatory accounts of their attacks on civilians, but barsomyat.com's users are telegraphing their intended victims in advance."

Mr. Spencer added that barsomyat.com is a "prime example" of how some Islamic extremists can utilize technology to attempt to bring Islamic religious law to the West.

"We saw in the Theo van Gogh murders that some Muslims will take these kinds of matters into their own hands," Mr. Spencer said. "The Internet makes it easier for them to do so by disseminating this kind of information. You could imagine 15 years ago how hard it would be for people to get this much information on people who they believe should be killed."

Barsomyat.com is registered to Viza-Web Inc., a Web hosting company based in Woodbury, Minn.

Joseph Shahda Discloses Paltalk hosts terror chat rooms

The Exclusive interview below appeared on the ACT for America news page and the American Congress for Truth blog yesterday. As ACT for America's grassroots citizen action network grows, one of the projects we will almost certainly undertake is putting pressure on American internet service providers to stop hosting radical Islamist sites and chat rooms. The following interview is very illuminating.

December 11, 2007
by Joseph Shahda

Paltalk (www.paltalk.com) is one of the most popular voice chat rooms hosting companies in the world. Paltalk hosts tens of thousands of voice chat rooms covering music, entertainment, politics, religion, and Islamic terrorist chat rooms.
That is correct. Paltalk hosts Islamic terrorist chat rooms that support Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups such as Hizballah and Hamas.
The most popular Al Qaeda chat room on Paltalk is called "Al Ansar Ansar Al Mujahdeen" which translates to "The Supporters of Moujhdeen". The members of this chat room are rabid Al Qaeda supporters. They post communiqués released by Al Qaeda media groups, including terrorist propaganda materials and violent terrorist materials on how to conduct terrorist acts. The members of the chat rooms take the microphone (the voice feature) and talk about Jihad and call for violent terrorist acts.
In the "Ansar Al Mujahdeen" room there have been live interviews conducted with actual Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. They conducted Q & A sessions with these terrorists. This chat room is well known on Paltalk and the Terrorist Cyberspace. Other terrorist forums refer to what is happening in "Ansar Al Mujahdeen" chat room and they encourage members of the other forums to join this chat room. The advantage of "Ansar Al Mujahdeen" chat room over the other terrorist forums is that it is a live action debate with voice features which make it very attractive for the terrorists.
Last week, after many years of allowing this popular Al Qaeda terrorist chat room to function and after many complaints against the room, Paltalk Corporation finally decided to shut down the "Ansar Al Moujahdeen" chat room. Unfortunately, the chat room is up again under a slightly modified name "Al Ansarr Ansar Al Mougahedeen" with a new owner nickname and many of the members changed their user names (nicknames). I noticed some of the members of the Al Qaeda chat room now have colored nicknames; i.e., they are paying a yearly subscription to Paltalk. In its previous guise, before this terrorist chat room was shut down, these same members had black nicknames; i.e., they did not pay any fee to participate. In addition, many of these electronic Jihadis are paying an annual fee to access the Al Qaeda chat room.
I find it difficult to believe that Paltalk Corporation can be fooled so easily. It remains to be seen whether money and financial profit are the main reason for allowing this Al Qaeda terrorist chat room to restart. But it is an illustration of how powerful the Terrorist Cyberspace is, when Paltalk permits this Al Qaeda terrorist chat room to continue. It is very unfortunate that our US Internet monitoring Counter Terrorism agencies have not forced Paltalk to immediately and permanently shut down these terrorist chat rooms. Perhaps, they believe that they can get actionable intelligence from these rooms. Based on hundreds of hours monitoring of these terrorist chat rooms on Paltalk, I am very convinced that there is no significant actionable intelligence to be obtained from them. In the contrary, these rooms are doing far more damage to the US and the world security with each passing minute as long as they operate.



On the top banner of the Al Ansarr Ansar Al Mougahedeen chat room screen they have link to a You Tube video about the destruction of a US Army HumVee south of Baghdad. In the text screen shown above they are rejoicing the death of 10 UN employees in Algeria who were killed today, December 11, 2007, by Al Qaeda terrorists.

Member of Militant Somali Group Says They Need No Money, Weapons in Online Chat
Posted by CBS News Investigates

A member of the Somali Jihad Youth Movement was invited to the chatroom of "Ansar al-Jihad" on Paltalk today to brief participants on the state of jihad in Somalia. The militant used "Furqaan_1_1" as his username and told the room that the group is in full control of the capital and many other major cities across the country. When asked if the group needed men, weapons or money, the man replied that jihadis from Saudi Arabia, especially those running from Saudi security services, as well as from other countries have already joined the ranks of the mujaheddin in Somalia. He also said the group had enough weapons and money. "Furqaan_1_1" also said that the group has began using car bombs in its war against government and Ethiopian forces.
