Mapping the online 'Jihadisphere'

I thought I'd share this MTGX of Jihadi/Islamic fundamentalist associated websites. I started from a list of three or four Jihadi websites on a youtube page that had a Jihadi propaganda video. I used the 'links in and out of site' transforms on the original sites and on every new Jihadi site found until I ran out of new sites.

I edited out file sharing sites, video sharing sites like youtube, mainstream media sites like Al-Jazeera, and counter-terrorism sites by hand. I also deleted lunatic fringe sites of the 'new world order/zionist/alien space lizard' conspiracy ilk.

What remains are hard core Jihadi sites, supporter sites, and a few more mainstream Islamic sites that for some reason or another attract links from Jihadi sites.

Note: This should not be taken as an invitation to launch a lame DoS attack on the sites on the graph. Some sites are on the fringe of the Jihadisphere and there is always the possibility that I missed deleting a mainstream site or two from the mix.

Cheers,
