We've heard many times in the last few years about the jihadi videos being found in the homes of suspected and actual terrorists, usually containing stirring music, rhetoric from bin Laden, and scenes of Westerners and Israelis dying. Why do young Muslim terrorists keep showing up with these videos?
They're pornography. More directly, it's terrorist pornography. No, there's no jiggling boobs or acts of lust in the videos. But it's purpose is the same. It was made to titillate and excite and arouse the viewer. In some Muslim households it would probably be worse for the person to be found with a copy of Battered Buttholes 8 than bin Laden's latest tape. Hmmm, now that I've said that, I wonder how true it is.
This is not some peculiarly Muslim institution. In the US we've got the "Turner Diaries" and "Hunter", which in book format are essentially the same thing.
