Over the years, my library of resources has grown and I like to share those resources with other people.
A private think-tank based in D.C. provides analysis on terrorism, China, Checnya, and Eurasian events. The writers about each topic are experienced, professional, and often based in the countries that they are writing about. The five reports range from daily to bi-weekly and do a terrific job in informing the reader. The only problem is that that the information is so in-depth that it is time consuming to read it all. The emails have really loaded up my inbox. But that is my only complaint.
(2) MEMRI
The Middle Eastern Media Research Institute is another private organization. It specializes in translating news from the Arab media and delivering it to you in via e-newsletter. They also have a blog and offer video links as well as the transcripts they send you. I can recommend this site enough. I have learned so much about the Arab world and justification and support for the jihad in the past tow years that I have been subscribed.
(3) Jihad Watch
Perhaps the best site I have ever found for information on Islamic Law and the jihad. Robert Spencer runs this site and is an extremely good author as well. I just finished his newest book, “Religion of Peace?”. Spencer takes stories that are published and buried by the MSM and brings them to the surface to demonstrate just how deadly Islamic Jihadists and their goals truly are. If you haven’t heard of Jihad Watch you need to familiarize yourself with it.
These three sites are pretty much the main ones I use for foreign information. I have found all to be extremely informative, objective, and, perhaps best of all, free.
I also have to plug my buddy, Eric (Black Tygerrrr) who invited me to WordPress and is also a very good writer. Make sure to check his site out.
