The jihad has come to YouTube: The Taliban has set up shop on the viral video site, posting two propaganda videos to its “Istqalmedia” channel, Fareed Zakaria noticed over the weekend.

The other, which according to Zakaria included “hideous scenes of death and destruction,” has been taken down. (More Taliban stories.)
