"Good evening, and welcome to your program, 'The weekly news overview for the Muslim community.'" With this friendly greeting, the program begins. Their contrast to the image with which they're paired -- the anchor man is wearing a military uniform and a black mask and upon his table rests a Koran and a machine gun -- could hardly be more jarring. And indeed, this is no normal television show. It's al-Qaida TV -- the terror group's latest attempt to widen its group of sympathizers.
"Voice of the Caliphate" the propaganda-show is called and it's been available for a number of days as a downloadable file on a number of Islamist Web sites. Two productions have been made available, each in Arabic and each 15 minutes long. Their content? World news from the perspective of al-Qaida and co.

Al-Qaida on TV
The new fall line-up includes an internet broadcast of the weekly news from al-Qaida. I'm looking forward to their "Around the World in 30 Seconds" segment.
