From Jihad Unspun
Khadija Abdul Qahaar, Publisher of Jihad Unspun (JUS), the popular Muslim website reporting uncut and uncensored news from the other side of the war on “terror” and JUSone News, the integrated news magazine that provides topical viewpoints and perspectives from Muslims and non-Muslims, has announced today [no date stated] that Jihad Unspun has returned to the web due to popular demand for the portal's signature content under the umbrella organization JUS Global Islamic News Network.
JUS rose to acclaim after it published some of the first evidence of American abuses in Afghanistan and Iraq that ultimately lead to the exposure of Abu Ghraib and has been highly regarded as an alternative media over the past five years.
Khadija Abdul Qahaar:
While our original plan was to upgrade Jihad Unspun to better meet the many open fronts that have developed five years on into the so-called “war on terror”, our intentions became redundant with the birth of JUSone that has allowed us to publish in-depth articles removing that burden from the Jihad Unspun portal. Furthermore, in market analysis we conducted since the launch of JUSone, readers relayed a continued desire for no- frills, fast read, uncensored news from the Muslim viewpoint that Jihad Unspun already addresses in its current format.
Now with two high quality distinctive web publishing products we are able to meet the demand of our market effectively. We are also unveiling this Ramadan a new online store where customers can purchase a wide range of video content, with books and other products to be added.
In addition, we have realized the need for a hard copy product that reaches libraries, universities and areas where web access is limited. We are currently looking into a variety of hard copy concepts in an effort to bring forward a hard copy product early next year inshaAllah.
JUSone News Magazine will now publish on the web weekly as a subscription driven product although non-subscribers will have access to some basic content services. Jihad Unspun returns as a no cost portal driven by store purchases, the popular JUSClub, as well as reader contributions.
The JUS Global Islamic News Network will encompass all of the JUS publshing products as a full scale multimedia publishing and content initiative. |
