The web’s international reach means that online jihad has no boundaries, making it even harder to police. A recent study by the UK’s Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC), called “Virtual Caliphate,” revealed that British Muslim radicals are using Internet tools for recruitment, training and propaganda.

Particularly revealing was the revelation that well-known spokesman Asghar Bukhari of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, a regular media guest and “moderate” Muslim, was using Facebook to “openly glorify terrorism” and post anti-semitic screeds.

Other experts warn of Hezbollah’s use of Israeli soldiers’ Facebook account information as a source of intelligence, and a possible way to trick soldier’s into meeting a Facebook “friend” in person who turns out to be a Hezbollah terrorist.
