http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/195268.php Chutzpah: Terrorists Behind Mumbai Massacre Have U.S. Hosted Website, Register Using Actual Terrorist Name!
Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the most likely culprit behind the massacre in Mumbai India that killed nearly 200 civilians, has a website hosted in the United States.
We've known for quite awhile that the Jamaat ud Daawa publicly ran a number of related websites (Urdu:
http://jamatuddawa.org/; English:
http://www.jamatdawah.org/) and that the group was the legal face of the outlawed LeT.
Jamat Dawa is the LeT's "charity" and operates legally in Pakistan. U.S. intelligence agencies believe that the charity is a front for LeT fundraising which is used for terrorist operations in Indian Kashmir -- and most recently in Mumbai. Jamaat Dawa claims it has no relation to the LeT.
While legal in Pakistan, Howie just noticed that the U.S. State Department lists the Jamaat ud Daawa "charity" as a terrorist organization front for the LeT:
Acting under the authority of Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended, and in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, I hereby determine that Lashkar-e-Tayyiba uses or has used the following aliases in addition to those listed above: Jamaat-ud-Dawa, JUD, Jama'at al-Dawa, Jamaat ud-Daawa, Jamaat ul-Dawah, Jamaat-ul-Dawa, Jama'at-i-Dawat, Jamaiat-ud-Dawa, Jama'at-ud-Da'awah, Jama'at-ud-Da'awa, Jamaati-ud-Dawa, and Idara Khidmat-e-Khalq.
I hereby amend the designation of Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (and its aliases) to add the following names as aliases together with any transliterations of these names: Jamaat-ud-Dawa, aka JUD, aka Jama'at al-Dawa, aka Jamaat ud-Daawa, aka Jamaat ul-Dawah, aka Jamaat-ul-Dawa, aka Jama'at-i-Dawat, aka Jamaiat-ud-Dawa, aka Jama'at-ud-Da'awah, aka Jama'at-ud-Da'awa, aka Jamaati-ud-Dawa, aka Idara Khidmat-e-Khalq.
Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of State, Department of State.

As a front for the LeT, it is illegal for American companies to provide services to Jamaat ud Dawa.
Yet who is Jamaat's webhost?

The English language website (jamatdawah.org) is registered to the Al-Qadsia Mosque in Lahore. A quick Google search shows a number of news stories about the Islamist hate being spewed at that mosque.
And the Urdu language website is registered to .... drumroll please ....
Registrant Name: Jamat Dawa
Registrant Organization: Jamat Dawa
In other words, a State Department listed terrorist organization bought webserver space using its real name!
I think that's what's called chutzpah!
So, who would register a terrorist organization -- using its real organizational name -- to give them a domain name?

I'll also note, lest these guys play dumb, that the banner for the Urdu website let's us know that this is the terrorist organization's official website.
You know what to do. Spread the word.
