U.S. Presidential Elections
I remember a question being raised in class asking if terrorist organizations are concerned about and observing the current presidential elections. I found an interesting review of the candidates by a website that spreads various terrorist propaganda. It is clear that these people are paying attention to the current race and thinking of what will happen when one of them is elected. The thing that I found most interesting in this analysis is that the author claims that whoever is put into the oval office will be elected according to Allah's will.

The post I was referring to was made on February 10th, there has since been a new post about American "state sponsored terrorism" which is very interesting as well.
According to this author there seems to be little distinction between the three candidates. No matter who is elected, the Ummah will be awakened like a Lion to destroy us infidels. As a proud member of the Zionist movement, I find this rhetoric demeaning and mean-spirited. Shame on them.
1) Here's a permanent link to the February 10 post.
2) If you were going to characterize the people who maintain this website using Gruen's pyramid of terrorism, what would you call them?
3) Can you find examples of actual terrorists commenting on this upcoming election?
Personally, I would label the people who maintain this website as supporters in Gruen's pyramid of terror. They are taking direct action to further the jihadi cause. I believe they are doing more than sympathisers tend to do.
