Jihadunspun.net is a website whose stated mission is to present uncensored reporting on the United States' actions against terrorism, comparing those efforts to a world jihad. Its articles are often highly critical of American foreign policy and the "war on terrorism".
The owner and publisher of Jihad Unspun is Khadija Abdul Qahaar (also known by the pen name Bev Kennedy), a former Christian who converted to Islam after 9/11. She publishes the site only under a pen name, stating that "many jihad related sites use pen names and this is a corporate decision I have instituted. The protection of my staff is far more important to me than an on the record statement."
Jihadunspun.net is currently indexed by Google News as a source of reporting on the Middle East.
Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute, has publicly speculated that Jihad Unspun is a CIA front designed to monitor traffic from users supportive of al-Qaida. However, both Jihad Unspun and the CIA deny these claims; a note on the website responds to them describing Jihad Unspun as a "labor of love for Allah", though site operators refused interviews with the American press.
