You must be feeling strong of stomach and brave of heart when you go there, but if you want to see the "face" of radical Islamism, go to this site: ClearGuidance.net.
Update: the ClearGuidance.net site has been "wiped" and the contents are only visible by a screened pay-per-view subscription service.
This has happened since yesterday, because a lot of the blogosphere and especially the LGF gang got irate and made noises abroad about the hideousness of activities there--which was right to do.
The Taliban-Mujahideen site is STILL there, though, so give it a look.
As is already being discussed, both thoughtfully and sensitively, at Lilek's Daily Bleat and LittleGreenFootballs, what you'll find is a Muslim smorgasbord of articles and discussion threads about *lovely* topics such as which infidel decapitation video is best and whether it's right for a brother to kill his "promiscuous" sister, or whether he should wait for the (Islamic) state to do according to shar'ia.
If you need confirmation or "proof" that radical Islam is NOT a religion of peace or that they don't mean non-Muslims true harm, then this web site if for you.
I was intrigued by the link to and postings at the Taliban website, which are announced on the ClearGuidance Home Page:

Taliban-News Returns

After a long absence [You gotta love that!--J.T.], the brothers at taliban-news.com have managed to get their site back online, despite the efforts of the kuffar.[Ed. note-That's what they call us: all the non-Muslims] Please support their valiant efforts by visiting their site...
Then when you go to that site Taliban and Mujahideen News , you'll see this entry for today:

07 August 2002: 304 days have passed since America launched its latest Crusade against Islam and its people. A number of Muslim prisoners were captured in this Crusade and taken to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba where their beards were forcibly shaved and they are being held in cages subject to Malaria, heatstroke and other tropical diseases. One of these prisoners is Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Salih Al-Ghanimi (Abul-Harith) from Makkah, Arabian Peninsula. His sister longs for her brother to return home.

We won't let President Bush call it a "Crusade," but they have no problem doing so, except that it's not against Islam and its people, but against RADICAL Islam and its adherents.

Any form of Islam that preaches and advocates the use of violence and death as methods of "divine punishment" for non-Muslims is not O.K. with me.
And how beneficent or laudable is a type of religion or cause that must tell so many lies to serve itself and its "truths?" Not very.
*This* type of Islam is not about Peace, nor is about Brotherly Love and Selfless Acts and Morality: it's about Death, and Control, and getting power, all to be achieved through physical violence to the non-compliant.
I, for one, want to see the eradication of radical Islam as a "valid" religious system and exposed for the "hate group" it really is, no different from the German Nazis of Hitler's Reich or the KKK.
