Islamic extremists have been reported as using the internet and websites as a tool to spread hatred towards Christians. Recently, a number of Christians have been reported as targeted by contributors to these extremists’ websites and given death threats. As a result concerns regarding terrorist activities on the internet are now rising.

Jeremy Reynalds, the director of Joy Junction, the largest Christian emergency homeless shelter in New Mexico US, who is also a freelance writer for an evangelical news service, has covered topics related to Islam and terrorism. In January, he wrote about the demise of the website mawsuat.com, which is one of the hottest jihad terror sites that had about 40 Jihadi "snuff" videos (of killings reportedly committed by supporters of Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi) available for download.

Reynadls was recently informed by Internet Haganah of a threat from Islamic extremists. Internet Haganah describes itself as a "global open-source intelligence network dedicated to confronting Internet use by Islamist terrorist organisations, their supporters, enablers and apologists."

Posting on the Houston-based site Al Ansar, the Islamic extremists posted Reynalds' home address so he would be "visited" and then a photograph with the wish that his ribs would be broken. Another offered prayers to Allah that Reynalds' "fatty neck" would be delivered to them, a reference to Islamists' common method of decapitation.

Internet Haganah even said the discussion has closed with a heartfelt "amen".

According to the New York Sun report released last week, a number of Christians are systematically tracked by a radical Islamic website because they debate Muslims on the popular Internet chat service PalTalk.com.

Barsomyat.com features photographs and information about Christians who actively debate on PalTalk. The Islamic website's banner displays a lamb with its throat being slit and a crucifix crossed out by a violent red "X". The main heading, in Arabic, says "Christians: Revealing the Truth behind Our Belief". The FBI is now investigating Barsomyat.com.
