In today’s Washington Post, Tara Bahrampour writes about Zachary Chesser (aka Abū Talḥah al-Amrīkī) and his usage of the internet as a tool to communicate his ideas and as a force that led him down the path to a more extreme radicalization process. The piece also highlights the interview I conducted with Chesser (via email) two weeks prior to his arrest.
Since that interview, the readership of this blog per month has increased six-fold. I just want to thank all of my dedicated readers from the past and welcome any new readers who first discovered this site through the WaPo article.
Also, I would like to reiterate that this blog is for academic purposes as well as a primary resource tool for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and journalists. I do not endorse any of the global jihadist primary source material that are posted on this site.
