Dr. Mustafa Mourad, professor at Al Azhar University, said that “the electronic jihad is a type of jihad because jihad is not limited to military weapons or any other type of painful means. Under jihad, it is possible to use any tool that might fulfill the goal”
And after the shootout with police, French Prosecutor Francois Molins informed reporters that Merah himself told police that he had been radicalized in prison during which time he began to read the Koran.
