Governments’ intervention has reduced the number of foreign language Radical Islamic Internet sites from about 1,000 to 50, hampering Islamist recruitment.  The number of English language Radical Islamic Internet sites, however, has risen in seven years from 30 past 200.

Most of the English-language Internet sites are not run by al-Qaida.  They are run by individuals who share its ideology.  Many of these individuals are radical clergy like the one who influenced the Ft. Hood massacre.  Their messages are theological, not bomb-making.  Hence, they recruit people.  Most of the arrested native Canadian terrorists and some American ones were inspired to jihad by English-language sites, and formed their own bomb plots.

U.S. officials did not comment on the sites and there servers  (www.imra.org.il, 11/27 from Naharnet, Lebanon).  Can their numbers be reduced?
