some basic resources for a jihadist which i've found useful

  • a decent copy of the Quran in your language, with the original Arabic for comparison.
  • pencil, pen, and a notebook.
  • a library card (research, study, quiet time, writing etc)
  • gym membership (stress relief and personal improvement)
  • a personal first aid kit (obviously in case you or another member of the public gets hurt)
  • a basic survival kit (check out the SAS manual for one of these, nice and versatile)
  • comfortable shoes (can't stress how important this item is)
  • breathable clothes with free range of movement (ironically shalwar kameez is perfect, but you may have to settle for loose jeans and t-shirts or something)
  • Gore-Tex waterproof/breathable jacket and (if possible) over trousers.
  • a map of the local area with a street index and cool meeting places and hangouts identified
  • a mobile phone with at least one 'pay as you go' SIM card. (handy for calling for help from the emergency services in a tight spot)
  • a simple stainless steel pocket knife. (keep oiled and sharp, remarkably handy)
  • addresses and directions to: your local GP/mosque, hospital, police station, court house, MP/Councillor, City/Town Hall.
  • a bar of Galaxy Chocolate (to nibble and maybe offer to girls)
  • some breath mints ( to use and maybe to offer to guys )
  • a cloth handkerchief (preferably two)
  • A card with your blood type, allergies and contact details for someone who will care if you are hurt.
  • at least enough spare cash to pay for two days travel, food, and comfortable accomodation. (in case you and some pals end up going on a road trip to a city to hear someone speak)
  • a good robust non-fiddly digital camera (preferably Canon for colour reproduction, or Sony for clarity)
  • an anonymous blog registered with a disposible email address
  • personal stereo/mp3 player with Sony In Ear headphones so people don't disturb your reverie, and don't get offended if you don't happen to notice them. (avoid iPods and the white earphones, they carry a higher risk of mugging)
  • a discreet reliable accurate analogue watch
  • at least one reliable means of medium range personal transport (bike, motorbike, car, etc)
  • a couple of folded envelopes, enough stamps to get them across the world, and at least two sheets of plain writing paper. (never underestimate the power of an impromptu letter)
  • A usb flash drive (at least 512MB) with a list of useful applications installed (most notably encryption.)
