Salman Rushdie's statement on Amnesty International

2010-02-21T06:19:00.000-08:00

From The Sunday Times
February 21, 2010
Salman Rushdie's statement on Amnesty International

"Amnesty International has done its reputation incalculable damage by allying itself with Moazzam Begg and his group Cageprisoners, and holding them up as human rights advocates. It looks very much as if Amnesty's leadership is suffering from a kind of moral bankruptcy, and has lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. It has greatly compounded its error by suspending the redoubtable Gita Sahgal for the crime of going public with her concerns. Gita Sahgal is a woman of immense integrity and distinction and I am personally grateful to her for the courageous stands she made at the time of the Khomeini fatwa against The Satanic Verses, as a leading member of the groups Southall Black Sisters and Women Against Fundamentalism. It is people like Gita Sahgal who are the true voices of the human rights movement; Amnesty and Begg have revealed, by their statements and actions, that they deserve our contempt."

The press opens up a bombardment of Amnesty's hypocrisy

Suspension of Conscience

Amnesty International has lost sight of its original purpose.

By Christopher Hitchens
Posted Monday, Feb. 15, 2010, at 12:19 PM ET

It's an old story, but it bears retelling. One day at the dawn of the 1960s, a lawyer named Peter Benenson was reading the newspaper on the London subway. He came across a small item reporting that two students from Portugal—then still a fascist dictatorship running a filthy empire in Africa—had been sentenced to seven years imprisonment for raising a toast to liberty in a public place in Lisbon. After a short cogitation, he decided to take action, and his open letter concerning "prisoners of conscience" was published on the front page of the London Observer. You may never have heard or read about this micro-event or its macro consequences, but I am willing to wager that you have heard of Amnesty International, which was the great tree that sprouted from this acorn. Its "branches"—the innumerable local groups that sprang into existence—have been responsible for the release of many political prisoners and the public shaming of many of the regimes that hold them.

In common with all great ideas, the Amnesty concept was marvelously simple. Each local branch was asked to sponsor a minimum of three prisoners of conscience: one from a NATO country, one from a Warsaw Pact country, and one from the Third—or neutralist—World. In time, the organization also evolved policies that opposed the use of capital punishment or torture in all cases, but the definition of "prisoner of conscience" remained central. And it included a requirement that the prisoner in question be exactly that: a person jailed for the expression of an opinion. Amnesty did not adopt people who either used or advocated violence.
This organization is precious to me and to millions of other people, including many thousands of men and women who were and are incarcerated and maltreated because of their courage as dissidents and who regained their liberty as a consequence of Amnesty International's unsleeping work. So to learn of its degeneration and politicization is to be reading about a moral crisis that has global implications.

Amnesty International has just suspended one of its senior officers, a woman named Gita Sahgal who until recently headed the organization's "gender unit." It's fairly easy to summarize her concern in her own words. "To be appearing on platforms with Britain's most famous supporter of the Taliban, whom we treat as a human rights defender," she wrote, "is a gross error of judgment." One might think that to be an uncontroversial statement, but it led to her immediate suspension.
The background is also distressingly easy to summarize. Moazzem Begg, a British citizen, was arrested in Pakistan after fleeing Afghanistan in the aftermath of the intervention in 2001. He was imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay and then released. He has since become the moving spirit in a separate organization calling itself Cageprisoners. Begg does not deny his past as an Islamist activist, which took him to Afghanistan in the first place. He does not withdraw from his statement that the Taliban was the best government available to Afghanistan. Cageprisoners has another senior member named Asim Qureshi, who speaks in defense of jihad at rallies sponsored by the extremist group Hizb-ut Tahrir (banned in many Muslim countries). Cageprisoners also defends men like Abu Hamza, leader of the mosque that sheltered Richard "Shoe Bomber" Reid among many other violent and criminal characters who have been convicted in open court of heinous offenses that have nothing at all to do with freedom of expression. Yet Amnesty International includes Begg in delegations that petition the British government about human rights. For Saghal to say that Cageprisoners has a program that goes "way beyond being a prisoners' rights organization" is to say the very least of it. But that's all she had to say in order to be suspended from her job. As I write this, she is experiencing some difficulty in getting a lawyer to represent her. Such is—so far—the prestige of Amnesty International. "Although it is said that we must defend everybody no matter what they've done," she comments, "it appears that if you're a secular, atheist, Asian British woman, you don't deserve a defense from our civil rights firms."
That may well change, and I hope it does. But Sahgal has it slightly wrong. Amnesty International was not set up to defend everybody, no matter what they did. No organization in the world could hope to do that. IRA bombers and Khmer Rouge killers and Gens. Pinochet and Videla were not Amnesty prisoners when they eventually faced the bar of the court. The entire raison d'être of the noble foundation was to defend and protect those who were made to suffer for their views. In theory, I suppose, this could include the view that women should be chattel, homosexuals and Jews and Hindus marked for slaughter, and all the rest of the lovely jihadist canon. But—see above—Cageprisoners defends those who have gone slightly further than merely advocating such things. It's well-nigh incredible that Amnesty should give a platform to people who are shady on this question and absolutely disgraceful that it should suspend a renowned employee who gave voice to her deep and sincere misgivings.
The other great thing about the early days of Amnesty International was its voluntary principle. It was all a matter of free individuals giving their time and money in the cause of the rights of others. Some estimates say that there are currently more than 2 million subscribers worldwide. It's now incumbent on any member who takes the original charter seriously to withdraw funding until Begg is cut loose to run his own beautiful organization and until Sahgal has been reinstated.

Update Feb. 15: Gita Saghal's supporters now have a Web site, which contains further material about Amnesty's betrayal of its founding principles. I urge you to visit it.

The conscience stifled by Amnesty

Second Amnesty chief attacks Islamist links
This second fellow is Sam Zarifi, who seems to be concerned with the Taliban region. His dissenting opinion was leaked to the Times, unlike Sahgal's.

Update 15 February: AI dimisses the criticism and continues to see nothing wrong with using a proponent of terrorism on their road shows. And they still refuse to say why they suspended Sahgal. They claim that there is "vigorous internal debate" within their furtive organization, which might be an underhanded way to reassure the faithful that AI allows some deviation from groupthink provided that it is kept secret from others. (Zarifi's opinion was leaked.)

photo from al-Jazeera

This Yemeni poses as a journalist but he is in fact an al-Qa'ida "publicist". He was one of only about 12 or 15 people who were authorized to start new threads on al-Qa'ida's major Arabic-language forum Hesbah. It was Shayea with whom Anwar al-Awlaki made his first contact since the airstrike in Shabwah on 2009.12.24 [1]. And the subsequent batch of al-Awlaki's terrorist "authorization" and incitement, broadcast by al-Jazeera, was signed by Shayea.

Until quite recently he was using this web space:
http://abdulela.maktoobblog.com/
but that site has suddenly gone dead. (Maktoob itself is still in business.) My guess is that Shayea has been paid by al-Jazeera to work on behalf of al-Qa'ida exclusively via al-Jazeera in future. We'll see.

Update: that site is back in business. Nothing added since it went down.

لقائي مع الشيخ أنور العولقي بعد حادثة فورت هود ..

العولقي: الميجور نضال حسن اعتبرني موضع ثقته واعتبرته بطلا

الإمام الهارب المرتبط بـ«القاعدة» في أول مقابلة صحافية: يتحدث عن مرتكب مذبحة «فورت هود»

صنعاء ـ اليمن: سودرسان راغايان*
في أول مقابلة صحافية له بعد مذبحة فورت هود قال الشيخ الأميركي ذو الأصول اليمنية أنور العولقي إنه لم يأمر أو يضغط على نضال لإلحاق الضرر بأميركيين، لكنه كان يعتبر نفسه موضع ثقة الطبيب النفسي. كما كشف عن علمه بعدم ارتياح نضال للاستمرار بالجيش عن طريق رسائل البريد الإلكتروني التي بعث بها إليه. وقال الإمام الهارب إنه لعب دورا في تديّن نضال قبل ثماني سنوات عندما استمع إليه في محاضرة له في مسجد دارة الهجرة بشمال فيرجينيا. وقال العولقي إن نضال وثق به، وإنهما تبادلا المراسلات الإلكترونية خلال العام الماضي.
تقدم الصورة التي رسمها العولقي لمرتكب مذبحة فورت هود بعض الإشارات إلى الحالة الذهنية لنضال ودوافعه خلال الشهور التي سبقت مذبحة 5 نوفمبر (تشرين الثاني) التي قتل خلالها 13 مجندا أميركيا. كما أضافت تعليقات العولقي إلى التساؤلات حول ما إذا كانت السلطات الأميركية، التي كانت على علم ببعض رسائل نضال الإلكترونية إلى العولقي، قد استشعرت تهديدات محتملة. وكانت الاستخبارات الأميركية قد اعترضت بعض الرسائل الإلكترونية التي بعث بها نضال، لكن مكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي استنتج أنها لا تشكل تهديدا جديا وأنه لا ضرورة لإجراء تحقيق.

لم تتمكن «واشنطن بوست» من إجراء المقابلة مع العولقي إذ رفض لقاء أي صحافي أميركي، لكنه تحدث عن علاقته بنضال ـ التي توثقت عبر ما يزيد على عشر رسائل إلكترونية ـ إلى عبد الإله حيدر شائع، الصحافي اليمني والخبير في شؤون الجماعات الإرهابية والذي يرتبط بصلات وثيقة مع العولقي المرتبط بـ«القاعدة». وقد اتصلت به «واشنطن بوست» لإجراء المقابلة كما دفعت له تكاليف سفره. وفي يوم الأحد عرض عبد الإله تفاصيل المقابلة التي أجراها مع العولقي، الكاتب والداعية الشهير الذي تلقى خطبه وكتاباته عن الجهاد اهتماما كبيرا بين الأصوليين. وقد س

The moral bankruptcy of Amnesty International
By Robin Simcox

Amnesty International's whitewash of 11 February

2010-02-11T12:05:00.000-08:00

http://www.amnesty.org.uk/news_details.asp?NewsID=18623

Excerpts:

Contrary to Gita Sahgal’s assertions to the media, she was not suspended from Amnesty International for raising these issues internally. In fact we actively welcome vigorous internal debate. Up to now we have maintained confidentiality in line with our policy but wanted to correct this misrepresentation. This is not a reflection on the organisation’s respect for her work as a women’s rights activist and does not undermine the work she has done over the last few years as the head of Amnesty International’s gender unit.

They go on, but they do not say why she was suspended. I can only presume that she was suspended for exposing AI's hypocrisy externally. Intimidating dissent is the best way I know to debase one's credibility.

Sleazy people, these AI:

Our work with Moazzam Begg has focused exclusively on highlighting the human rights violations committed in Guantánamo Bay and the need for the US government to shut it down and either release or put on trial those who have been held there. Moazzam Begg was one of the first detainees released by the US without charge, and has never been charged with any terrorist-related offence or put on trial.

When President Obama promised to close Guantánamo, Amnesty International hoped that we could wind down our campaign and focus more broadly on human rights abuses related to security and terrorism. However, as that promise remains unmet, Amnesty International continues to work with Moazzam Begg and other former detainees to ask European governments to accommodate those who cannot be returned to their country of citizenship without risk of torture or ill-treatment.

That's how these self-righteous nonentities pin the conduct of Muslims fascists like Moazzem Begg on the United States. If it were up to Begg, every homosexual in Amnesty International would be beheaded. But he serves their Yankee-bashing purpose and that's good enough.

In this complex and polarised world we at Amnesty International face the challenge of communicating clearly the scope of our work with individuals and groups. Amnesty International champions and continues to champion Moazzam Begg’s rights as a former detainee at Guantánamo. He speaks about his own views and experiences, not Amnesty International’s. And Moazzam Begg has never used a platform he shared with Amnesty to speak against the rights of others.

Disgusting self-absolution by these guys. Moazzem Begg incites hate all day every day. His whole agenda is the destruction of all human rights. And that's fine with AI as long as he leaves them out of it.

Toward the end of the piece, Amnesty takes the opportunity to do a little self-advertising, which is habitual for any hypocritical NGO:

Amnesty International has a long history of demanding justice – in the case of our Counter Terror with Justice Campaign we called for both an end to human rights abuses at Guantánamo and other locations, and called for those detained there to be brought to justice, in fair trials that respected due process.

More coming.

Another tantrum by professional victim Moazzem Begg

2010-02-10T14:10:00.000-08:00

http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?id=31032

He copied a blog entry which smears the 30-year veteran of human rights campaigning Gita Sahgal. Of course a Muslim supremacist like Moazzem Begg has nothing but hate for any Hindu, particularly a female.

Before Begg copied that spew to his own website, I had seen it myself in its original location. I said to the author, "When I saw the word 'Republican' in the first sentence, I stopped reading." And indeed it's just the work of a narcissistic self-righteous self-pitying hypocrite. But it takes the side of the malignant and worthless professional victim Moazzem Begg. That was enough for Begg, and he copied the whole thing.

Begg, a 15-year-old girl has more backbone than you.

Moazzem Begg on his own is not worth my attention. No, my purpose here is to damage Amnesty International. A group that seeks to profit from hate and evil is a group that I seek to destroy. Treacherous hypocrites of AI, I say to you:

You hired a Taliban member with a total contempt for justice, utterly intollerant, and a proponent of using the most evil possible means to achieve the most evil possible end. Then you put him on the road to lecture the world about right and wrong.

More coming. But Amnesty, with or without my contributions, this scandal WILL NOT GO AWAY. Everything that Muslim fascism touches, it destroys. Your group will be no exception.

Jihad - The Solution?

15/01/2010
By Asim Qureshi

The counter-terrorism policies that are being suggested in the wake of the attempted attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalib are indicative of a return to the Bush/Blair style policies that have led to the intense criminalisation and marginalisation of Muslims around the world. Instead of the question ‘why?’ being put forward, we are all dragooned into an iron fist response. Already motions have been made towards an ‘intervention’ in Yemen as well as an assault on our collective privacy with body scanners and techniques such as profiling, to be used in order to try and catch suspected terrorists.

The rationale or the ‘why?’, however perverted, that led to the tragic decisions by Abdulmuttalib has once again been ignored completely. Despite his own admission that foreign policy has played a crucial role in his decision making process, this factor has been put aside as governments and the media seek to present ‘how’ he came to take such actions.

Predictably, with slim evidence on the ‘how’ of his actions, the media in particular have turned to any possible avenue in order to present the picture of ‘radicalisation’. In this circumstance, the one piece of information available online from the statements of Abdulmuttalib himself was that the University College London student Islamic Society had arranged for a one week conference on the War on Terror and its impact. Among the speakers were Sir Geoffrey Bindman, Victoria Brittain, Phil Shiner, Moazzam Begg, Yvonne Ridley and I. In the same way that we are all used to speaking across the country in relation to issues to do with human rights and the War on Terror, we all attended in our various capacities.

The lecture that the student Islamic Society requested I do was entitled Jihad v Terrorism - the title in itself explaining much of the content. The basic position being that jihad as the concept of the conduct of hostilities from classical Islamic law is distinct from the modernist actions that have been taken by individuals and how Islam finds no room for terrorism.

Had Abdulmuttalib attended my talk (which I am told by the UCL Islamic society president at the time, Qasim Rafiq, that he did not) or had he the opportunity to listen to Moazzam Begg, he would have realized, like the way so many others do, that he had the opportunity to try and effect change with the issues that plagued him by working within the system. In fact, this is pretty much the legacy of Cageprisoners, that the organisation has provided a safe and open space for Muslims to speak about issues that impact on them all the while remaining within the processes that are recognised within the country.

From this perspective, Cageprisoners remains at the forefront of challenging detention without trial, torture and human rights violations as we try our hardest to convince Muslims that they should remain part of the process and get involved. However this process can only work if the affected community are given a true space in order to discuss the issues that affect them. The reason why the Jihad v Terrorism talk at UCL was arranged, was because it was felt that the time had come to really address an issue that young Muslims are very much struggling with - it was something that needed to be spoken about in order to help clarify the differences without simplistic statements of condemnation that do not convince anyone.

Cageprisoners has also opened a very unique space for dialogue, not just in the UK but across the world. For the first time we invited a former guard from Guantanamo Bay to speak on a platform with former prisoners. Rather than being a moment of accusations and condemnation, it was an exercise in reconciliation in the truest form. The Two Sides - One Story tour was well received all over the UK as each event was oversubscribed due to their unprecedented nature.

Wider than these conferences -it is important for Muslims in the UK to be given the space to speak about jihad at conferences, in the mosques and at demonstrations. There has been much misunderstanding as to its meaning, far too often the concept is mischievously misinterpreted for nefarious purposes. As a concept it is extremely important for Muslims as it is used as the term that defines the defence of Muslim countries/people against foreign occupying forces. Only by opening up the debate about jihad in the mosques will Islamic scholars find the space to really begin challenging the ideas of Muslims who are confused of the rights and wrongs.

The response of the UK to this whole episode has been to suggest attacks against Yemen and also to bring in profiling as a counter-terrorism measure - policies which will only further increase the frustrations of young Muslims and increase the feeling of marginalisation and criminalisation.

Cageprisoners feel that by promoting more dialogue and debate on various issues such as jihad, there can only be benefit in understanding, even where various parties or individuals do not agree with one another. It is our desire that we try and keep avenues of dialogue open with as many individuals that we can, hence why we keep strong ties with various Islamic thinkers, organisations, politicians and even celebrities. We believe that by keeping channels open with all, we can act as a conduit to reversing some of the trends in counter-terrorism policies that have been nothing but counter-productive to the stability of this and other countries. It is not a victim mentality, but a strategy seeking to salvage basic civil liberties and protect the society for us all.

Of particular note is the criticism that Cageprisoners has received for our association with Imam Anwar al-Awlaki. Our main support for him stems from his status as a prisoner who was detained without charge in Yemen at the behest of the US administration. This is a man who unequivocally condemned the 9/11 attacks after they had taken place, and yet the US administration still chose to try and have him detained having also interrogated him in Yemen despite never being charged with any crime. Cageprisoners does not follow any scholar or thinker, including Anwar al-Awlaki, and often use our broad relationship with Islamic figures from every tradition to help promote dialogue on issues relevant to our remit from all sides. We are not interested in the business of divisive politics by making claims that any one scholar is more or less relevant than another, rather we seek to keep the communities together by focusing on where we can cooperate. Anwar al-Awlaki’s contribution to Cageprisoners has always been positive, particularly when invited to our events he has only spoken from his experiences as a former prisoner.

Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalib studied here in the UK and had complete advantages while here to be part of the system in order to raise his concerns about things he felt were wrong with the world. His own admission that his actions reflect the foreign policy of the US and her allies only points to the need to understand why he was too frustrated to take the advantages he had been given. One possible suggestion is that the climate of fear that has been created by counter-terrorism policies has denied mosques the ability of openly discussing and arguing relevant issues including but not limited to the meaning of the various ideas about jihad effectively, and thus it has not been possible for them to engage young disenfranchised Muslims such as Abdulmuttalib by explaining how he could respond to the ‘troubles’ that he saw.

From all of our travels throughout the UK, a common theme that the team at Cageprisoners has found is that many Muslims believe that our brothers and sisters in faith fighting for their survival in various parts of the world have a legitimate right to do so - that policy of self defence from an Islamic perspective is known as jihad. It is a concept that has already been recognised by the Western world in the 80s through their support for the mujahideen in Afghanistan against Soviet occupation, and again in the 90s as they supported the Bosniaks and Kosovars in their resistance. What this means in practice is that the limitations and justifications require to be clarified and refined in the caldron of public debate between those who have an interest in these issues. Only then can there be a meeting of the opposing views - it is only through this mechanism that we have any hope of persuading, in light of the grievances mentioned by the 7/7 bombers, Abdulmuttalib and others like him, that the ends can never justify the means. It would seem common sense that an open and honest debate about jihad is very much required, indeed, the discussion on jihad is the solution.

Posted: 07 February 2010

Amnesty International is being accused in a media article today of putting the human rights of some people above those of others. This is not, and has never been, true. Implicit in the accusation, is the view that we should choose those whose rights we promote. We reject this view utterly. Amnesty International campaigns for all internationally recognised human rights for all people – it is not about their views, their political opinions, their actions – it’s about upholding the universality of human rights: these are the inalienable rights of all human beings. As part and parcel of promoting human rights, we also have a long history of demanding that those who perpetrate human rights abuses be brought to justice – whoever they may be. We make this call because victims deserve to see justice done, to know that the harm done to them has been exposed and to seek reparations.

Whenever Amnesty International accuses governments or other actors of committing human rights violations – based on our research – they typically make one of two defences. Either the violation never happened, for example, denying the existence of secret detention facilities or that the victim got what he or she “deserved.”

When the US government defended its detention of people it suspected as terrorists in Guantánamo Bay, then President Bush famously described the detainees as the “worst of the worst.” Translation – these men got what they deserved. They got years of detention, torture and ill-treatment, solitary confinement, complete isolation from the world and of course, no means to defend themselves against the charge of being the “worst of the worst”.

Amnesty International responded to President Bush’s claims by calling on the US authorities to either try them in a court of law in proceedings that met international standards for fair trial or release them. In a tacit acknowledgement that they got it wrong, the US authorities have released more than 500 detainees without bringing charges.

One of those who was released without charge, and has never been convicted of terrorist-related offences, is Moazzam Begg. Following his release in 2005, Amnesty International met him to discuss his experiences. Moazzam Begg’s account is consistent with the testimony of other detainees about human rights violations. He has since spoken at Amnesty International events describing his experiences and highlighting the plight of detainees who remain in Guantánamo and the need for accountability for human rights violations.

A European tour is currently underway as part of a campaign to encourage more EU countries to accept former Guantánamo detainees.

The tour was initiated by Reprieve and the Centre for Constitutional Rights but a number of Amnesty International national sections are hosting the tour in different European countries.

Tomorrow, Moazzam Begg will speaking alongside Amnesty International, speaking specifically on behalf of those detainees in need of protection in a third country.

Today, Amnesty International is being criticised for speaking alongside him and for being “soft” on the Taleban, when our record is one of unreserved opposition to their abuses over the years.

Interestingly, the US and other governments that have violated human rights standards in the name of countering terrorism justify those violations by saying that our security can only be protected by violating the rights of others. Mr Begg is one of the people that the US government defined as “other.”

But there is no place for the “other” in human rights because to argue that some people are more ‘deserving’ than others of having their rights protected is to argue that some beings are less than human.

Cageprisoners

17 September 2009

Cageprisoners (CP) proudly presents ‘From the Prisoners to the Prisoners’ by Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, a message exclusively produced for the successful Cageprisoners fundraising dinner held last Sunday 30 August 2009.

In what is his most recent lecture, Imam al-Awlaki brings to life the inspirational writings of several Muslims detained in the ‘War on Terror’. Quoting from figures such as Sami al-Arian (USA), Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi (Jordan), Abdullah Thani Faris Al Sulami Al Unuzi (Guantanamo Bay), and Babar Ahmad (UK), Imam al-Awlaki provides an insight into the daily thoughts and feelings of individuals who have been imprisoned without any regard to the principles of due process and the rule of law.

As a result of pressure from Islamophobic pressure groups, Kensington and Chelsea Council refused to allow Imam al-Awlaki’s message to be screened at the event. The Council acted hastily without consulting Cageprisoners about Imam al-Awlaki or the contents of his message. To date, no specific details have been provided as to why the Council decided to ban Imam al-Awlaki’s message. Such blatant censorship by the Council is reflective of the pervasive theme of the ‘war on terror’ – punishment without regard for due process.

In spite of these efforts and perhaps as a result of them, Imam al-Awlaki’s words have seen the light of day and will now inspire countless others beyond the 500 individuals who were deprived of hearing them at the Cageprisoners dinner. “They plot and plan and Allah too plans but Allah is the best of planners.” (Qu’ran 8:30).

Cageprisoners requests its supporters to reflect and act upon Imam al-Awlaki’s message and his encouragement to “give that which belongs to Allah but He decided to put in your hands, to give some if it for the sake of assisting and freeing and helping your brother behind bars.”

Imam al-Awlaki’s message can be heard at the link below:

Notes to Editor:

1. Cageprisoners’ annual fundraising dinner took place on 30 August 2009 at Kensington Town Hall at 6.30 pm. Guest speakers included ex-Guantanamo Bay detainees Binyam Mohamed, Sami el-Hajj and Moazzam Begg as well as Terry Brookes, a former guard at Guantanamo Bay. The dinner was co-sponsored by the Cordoba Foundation, Tyndallwoods Solicitors, Khan Solicitors, Muslim Hands, Birnberg Peirce & Partners, Hhugs, the Hittin Institute, Aerosol Arabic, and Life of This World Productions.

2. Less than two weeks before the event, Kensington Town Hall informed Cageprisoners that the Council Leader had made a decision prohibiting Imam al-Awlaki’s video message from being aired. Cageprisoners response to this decision can be viewed at http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?id=30185

3. Cage Prisoners is a human rights organisation that exists to raise awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror. We aim to give a voice to the voiceless.

Amnesty International is collaborating with Londonistani hate-monger Moazzem Begg

Big mistake, AI.

Moazzem Begg lost his job with the Taliban in Afghanistan when NATO showed up in 2001. Since then he has made a career out of being a former inmate of Guantanamo Bay, feeding the self-pity and the brainless religious chauvinism of any Muslim who will listen, in support of any violent Muslim who is not getting his own way over Kufr. Moazzem Begg's M.O. is the entirely the standard one for a Sunni rabble-rouser and hate-monger in the UK, of whom there are hundreds.

The collaboration between this scabrous and anti-social individual, and the self-appointed priesthood called Amnesty International, has been exposed by Gita Sahgal of AI themselves. AI has now suspended that lady. Another mistake.

The Times.

Gita Sahgal's statement following her suspension by AI. I have reproduced it in full below.

Moazzem Begg's pity party for terrorist cleric Abdullah al-Faisal. Faisal served four years in the UK for attempting to incite murder.

Moazzem Begg's contempt of all the evidence against Ali al-Timimi of al-Qa'ida.

Moazzem Begg's endorsement of apocalyptic cult leader and al-Qa'ida cheerleader Anwar al-Awlaki.

Excerpt from the one about Ali al-Timimi, who is serving life-plus-70:

We would like to remind all of our brothers and sisters that God tests His slaves with whatever He Wills. Many great Muslim scholars before have faced the same trials and tests for nothing more than their beliefs. As Allah said in the Quran "And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers. They had nothing against them, except that they believed in God, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise!" [85:7-8]

Begg never recognizes any non-Islamist jurisdiction over any Muslim, no matter on what evidence, nor for that matter any right to self-defence against Muslim terrorism by any non-Muslim.

This is Gita Sahgal's statement:

This morning the Sunday Times published an article about Amnesty International’s association with groups that support the Taliban and promote Islamic Right ideas. In that article, I was quoted as raising concerns about Amnesty’s very high profile associations with Guantanamo-detainee Moazzam Begg. I felt that Amnesty International was risking its reputation by associating itself with Begg, who heads an organization, Cageprisoners, that actively promotes Islamic Right ideas and individuals.

Within a few hours of the article being published, Amnesty had suspended me from my job.

A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when a great organisation must ask: if it lies to itself, can it demand the truth of others? For in defending the torture standard, one of the strongest and most embedded in international human rights law, Amnesty International has sanitized the history and politics of the ex-Guantanamo detainee, Moazzam Begg and completely failed to recognize the nature of his organisation Cageprisoners.

The tragedy here is that the necessary defence of the torture standard has been inexcusably allied to the political legitimization of individuals and organisations belonging to the Islamic Right.

I have always opposed the illegal detention and torture of Muslim men at Guantanamo Bay and during the so-called War on Terror. I have been horrified and appalled by the treatment of people like Moazzam Begg and I have personally told him so. I have vocally opposed attempts by governments to justify ‘torture lite’.

The issue is not about Moazzam Begg’s freedom of opinion, nor about his right to propound his views: he already exercises these rights fully as he should. The issue is a fundamental one about the importance of the human rights movement maintaining an objective distance from groups and ideas that are committed to systematic discrimination and fundamentally undermine the universality of human rights. I have raised this issue because of my firm belief in human rights for all.

I sent two memos to my management asking a series of questions about what considerations were given to the nature of the relationship with Moazzam Begg and his organisation, Cageprisoners. I have received no answer to my questions. There has been a history of warnings within Amnesty that it is inadvisable to partner with Begg. Amnesty has created the impression that Begg is not only a victim of human rights violations but a defender of human rights. Many of my highly respected colleagues, each well-regarded in their area of expertise has said so. Each has been set aside.

As a result of my speaking to the Sunday Times, Amnesty International has announced that it has launched an internal inquiry. This is the moment to press for public answers, and to demonstrate that there is already a public demand including from Amnesty International members, to restore the integrity of the organisation and remind it of its fundamental principles.

I have been a human rights campaigner for over three decades, defending the rights of women and ethnic minorities, defending religious freedom and the rights of victims of torture, and campaigning against illegal detention and state repression. I have raised the issue of the association of Amnesty International with groups such as Begg’s consistently within the organisation. I have now been suspended for trying to do my job and staying faithful to Amnesty’s mission to protect and defend human rights universally and impartially.

-- statement ends --

Before Begg can remove it at the request of his employers in Amnesty International (who are right now anxiously trying to get some of the egg off their faces) I will preserve here one of MB's affectations of concern for the vicious, profoundly ignorant, and sickeningly intolerant Saudi-trained hatemonger Abdullah al-Faisal:

Renowned Jamaican Muslim cleric Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal spent a second night yesterday in the custody of the Kenyan Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) who arrested him in Mombasa on new year’s eve and held him on a holding charge of breaching immigration regulations.

Sheikh al-Faisal is being held at the Kilindini Port Police Station where the ATPU have issued orders that he should not be seen by anyone. The police have not formally said why he was being held but when he was arrested at the Nyali suburbs they claimed he had gone against his tourist visa by giving lectures and addressing congregations in Mosques. When his hosts were asked to take him his baggage yesterday morning they were told he would be deported. However later on Friday afternoon a source said they were still investigating his movements and had taken his laptop to Nairobi for expert analysis on the request of an unnamed foreign country which had issues with the cleric.

In 2007 Sheikh al-Faisal was deported from Britain where he had lived for twenty years to his native Jamaica for allegedly preaching “hatred against Jews, Hindus and Westerners”. He had been jailed in 2003 for the offense. Al-Faisal, who is from St James in Jamaica, left the island for the UK 26 years ago. Born Trevor William Forrest, he earned the nicknamed “Dictionary” because of his vocabulary. His parents were Salvation Army officers and he was raised as a Christian, but when he was aged 16 he went to Saudi Arabia – where he became a Muslim and spent eight years studying Islam at Madina University and later took a degree in Islamic Studies in the Saudi capital of Riyadh before going to the UK. It was not clear whether Britain had requested his removal from Kenya. ATPU officers in Mombasa however claimed the arrest was over immigration offenses but “he was of general interest to the unit”

The Muslim Human Rights Forum (MHRF) views the action against Sheikh al-Faisal as discriminatory since preachers of other faiths are usually granted similar visitors’ visa and are never restrained from preaching or conducting other lawful religious activities in the country.

“This is curtailing Sh. Faisal’s freedoms of expression and association in a very discriminative manner and holding him incommunicado which is totally

unacceptable,” said MHRF’s Chairman Al-Amin Kimathi “It follows a pattern we saw throughout last year where Muslim scholars and aid workers were arbitrarily arrested and deported from the country on very flimsy grounds,” Kimathi added. MHRF has instructed Mombasa lawyer Yusuf Abubakar to take up the case of Sheikh al-Faisal.

[Footnote: Kenya did succeed in excreting Abdullah al-Faisal back to Jamaica with the help of three other jurisdictions: Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, and Antigua.]

Certainly Moazzem Begg would want Amnesty International to get rid of any Hindu, such as Gita Sahgal. That would go double for a female, who moreover is a longstanding proponent of gender equality, which is contrary to the primitive and barbaric dicta of Moazzem Begg's Taliban and al-Qa'ida comrades.

More coming.

Threat from the Taliban in North Waziristan

2010-02-02T03:18:00.000-08:00

It doesn't look very meaningful to me, but it has got quite a bit of press attention, so here is the complete original (unedited), which appeared in English.

{

Assalamalikum

I have received a pumphlet distributed in the population of North Waziristan that says that

the Taliban and government of Pakistan has signed for the safety of local population a peace deal which asked to Taliban that they will stop attacking the security forcers and in turn the government will remove all the checkposts and remove the forces deployed in Bakakhel village. Now the government has committed several acts which are against the peace deal.

1. They have esbtablished all the checkposts and some new checkpost are established as well.

2. They are asking even the women to show their N.I.C at checkposts. This is a big shame for tribal people their women are asked for NIC and most of the women are without NIC due to the slackness of government.

3. They have established network of spies which spy on mujahideen and then the drone attack come which cause losses to both mujahideen and local people.

4. They have done an unannnced operation of village Machas.

So the shura of Mujahideen declares that we will no more be patient if the government continue to voilate the peace deal.
If the army started another operation here the Mujahideen will start a big war in the area so the local people are directed to form a committee of the elders to meet Hamid Karzai and ask him for a safe place for the local people to migrate. Though He himself is kaffir but he is better to lookafter the peace deal than the Pakistanies.

From: Shura Mujahideen of North Waziristan Agency.

================================

Brothers are requested to spread this news so that it reach the ears of Pakistani population.

}

One footnote: "village Machas" refers to the small refugee camp that was raided by the Pakistanis on [corrected] 22 January 2010 -- Islamabad's first serious action against the Taliban in North Waziristan. One Tallie was killed and several dozen, mainly Afghans, were arrested.

A report of contact with al-Awlaki since the underwear attack

2010-01-31T22:12:00.001-08:00

In Yemen.

Robert F. Worth at New York Times

Excerpt --

Mr. Awlaki said he had met and spoken with the Nigerian suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in Yemen last fall, according to the journalist, Abdulelah Hider Sha’ea, who played a digital recording of the cleric’s comments for this reporter.

Update 2 February: Sha'ea has sold Anwar's latest batch of threats to al-Jazeera. This is Sha'ea's personal website.

Update 7 February: To the suprise of nobody, al-Jazeera is now broadcasting al-Awlaki's terrorist rhetoric and incitement. As I predicted, al-Awlaki has suddenly become less mealy-mouthed and more overtly vicious.

Bin Ladin audio 2010.01.29

2010-01-29T05:15:00.000-08:00

About four minutes long; it went straight to al-Jazeera. He talks about giant corporations, climate change, international use of American currency -- Adam Gadahn wrote this one, it's an odds-on bet.

Update: The audio is getting zero attention from the enemy, so I don't see much point in copying it here.

Anwar al-Awlaki is wanted dead or alive

2010-01-26T21:22:00.000-08:00

The claim by Dana Priest at the Washington Post and at CBS that subsequent to the airstrike in Shabwah on 24 December "he has since been added to a shortlist of U.S. citizens specifically targeted for killing or capture by the JSOC" is correct.

Comment 2010.01.27:

Now that al-Awlaki is wanted by the USA, other al-Qa'ida members can trust him more than they could previously. AQ could well use a new anglophone propagandist; at the moment all they've got are Adam Gadahn and Omar Hammami. Meanwhile al-Awlaki would be safer in Somalia with the vicious Wahhabi Shabaab gang with whom he has at least a little affiliation, and he would then be able to communicate with his followers in the English-speaking world via the internet and via al-Jazeera.

An all-German cell of the Islamic Jihad Union

2010-01-24T21:14:00.001-08:00

The following is from a Turkish- and German-language website of the Islamic Jihad Union today.

[Update: The IJU site removed this piece soon after they posted it.]

Der einzige Weg ist der Widerstand und die Verbundenheit mit dem Jihad

Wer ist Abu Ishaq al-Muhajir und welche Informationen können Sie uns, im Bezug auf die ‚Deutschen Taliban Mujahedeen‘, geben? Was für eine Gruppe sind sie und welche Ziele verfolgen sie?

Bevor ich beginne, spreche ich alles Lob und Dank dem einzigen Rabb, Allah, subhana wa teala, aus. Er ist der Rabb, der alle Seelen in Seiner Hand hält, der Allweise, der Ewigbeständige. Frieden und Segen seien auf dem Gesandten Allahs. Er ist der Führer aller Führer und das beste Geschöpf aller Zeiten.
Abu Ishaq al-Muhajir ist ein Mensch, von den Menschen. Zwischen den ewiggültigen Lehren des Gesandten Allahs, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ist die folgende wegweisende Aussage von ihm, eine der wichtigsten: „Seid ein Mensch unter den Menschen.“ Wenn man es aus dieser Sicht betrachtet, so bin ich lediglich ein Mensch, ohne besondere Fähigkeiten.
Ich, Abu Ishaq al-Muhajir, bin in Deutschland geboren und habe, bis zum Alter der Universität, in Deutschland gelebt. Meine Kindheit und meine Jugend habe ich in Deutschland verbracht. Ich kann also sagen, dass ich das deutsche Volk gut kenne. Im Endeffekt werden wir überall, als aufständische Menschen, angesehen. Aber ganz ehrlich, auch wenn wir überall mit so etwas konfrontiert werden, ist dies für uns nicht besonders von Bedeutung,…denn die Botschaft, für die wir stehen, geht über persönliche Identitäten hinaus. Das, was uns ausschließlich Würde und Ehre gibt, ist unsere islamische Identität! Diese Identität ist uns wertvoller, als alle anderen Identitäten. Der Sinn der Gabe des Lebens ist auf hohe bedeutungsvolle Ziele gerichtet. Im Gegensatz dazu ist das Leben in einer kapitalistischen Gesellschaft, in der man auf, von Menschen gemachte, falsche Systeme reinfällt, bedeutungslos und ohne jeglichen Sinn. Und die eigentliche Wahrheit ist doch, dass die Taliban, die Kartontürme dieser Welt, durch ihre religiösen Botschaften zerschmettert haben und auch weiterhin zerschmettern werden. Diejenigen, die dem Weg von Qur´an und Sunnah folgen, sind dabei, diese Welt erneut und in ihrem ursprünglichen Zustand, zu bringen. Die ‚Deutschen Taliban Mujahedeen‘ sind eine Bewegung, die der Aqidah, der Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama´ah, welche sehr weit verbreitet ist, in Afghanistan, angehören. Unsere Bewegung arbeitet unter dem Banner der ‚Islamischen Emirate Afghanistan‘ und besteht ausschließlich aus deutschen Mujahedeen. Damit die Religion Allahs, subhana wa teala, auf dieser Erde, das einzige ist, wonach gerichtet wird, öffnen wir unsere Herzen und Türen für alle unsere Mujahedeen-Geschwister, aus Europa und besonders aus Deutschland und hoffen, dass wir, Schulter an Schulter, gegen die Besatzungsmächte, auf der ganzen Welt, die sich auf islamischem Boden befinden, kämpfen werden.

In welchem Zustand befindet sich der islamische Widerstand, in Afghanistan, zur Zeit?

Wie man sehen kann, konnten weder die Amerikaner, noch irgendeine andere Macht, das größte Problem des 20. Jahrhunderts, den Kommunismus, vernichten. Es waren die Mujahedeen, welche die UdSSR und den Kommunismus, zerstört und gemeinsam mit hervorragenden Führern , wie Mullah ´Umar und Mullah Jalaluddin Haqqani, den Besatzungsmächten, schon sehr oft in der Geschichte, die Stirn geboten und ihnen harte Schläge verpasst haben. Wir sollten uns, in der Geschichte, zurückerinnern, wie auf dem Boden Khorasans, die britischen und russischen Besatzungsmächte, sehr harte Schläge einstecken und deshalb fliehen mussten. Und genau so, werden auch die christlichen Besatzer und ihre zionistische Allianz, eine vernichtende Niederlage einstecken müssen. Al-hamdulillah, die Mujahedeen, die den ‚Islamischen Emiraten Afghanistan‘ angehören, führen wöchentlich, mehr als achtzig Operationen, gegen die Besatzungsmächte und ihre, von der Religion abgekehrten, Hunde, durch. Eines der schönsten Beispiele, für den herrschenden Widerstand in Afghanistan, ist die Märtyreroperation, die in der C.I.A.-Geheimbasis, in Khost, durchgeführt wurde.

Was sagen Sie dazu, dass die 'Deutschen Taliban Mujahedeen' in Verbindung mit "Terror" und "Tod" gesetzt und als ebenwürdig angesehen werden?

Dies ist eine völlig absurde Behauptung. Man muss wissen, dass die gleichen Vorwürfe dem Gesandten Allahs, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, gemacht wurden, d.h. schlichtweg, dass, wenn Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in unsere heutige Zeit käme, er auch als ein Terrorist bezeichnet werden würde. Als Amr bin As, radiyallahu anhu, der Stellvertreter von Makkah, der zu dieser Zeit noch kein Muslim war, mit Nejaschi sprach, sagte er zu ihm: „Die Muslime sind aufständige Menschen. Sie haben, zwischen dem Vater und seinem Sohn, Zwietracht gebracht.“ Zu jener Zeit bedeutete, nicht zu den Kuffar zu gehören, ein ‚Unruhestifter‘ und jemand der ‚Zwietracht‘ bringt, zu sein. Als König Frederick, die Muslime aus Sizilien, von der Insel vertrieb, sagte er: „Diese sind alle Aufständige.“ Als der König von Byzanz, gegen die Muslime, einen Krieg begann, benutzte er den Begriff: „Diese sind Wüstenaufständige.“ Was ich damit meine ist, dass es diese Sache schon seit je her gibt…entweder ihr seid von uns oder von den Aufständigen …oder heutzutage ein Terrorist. Nehmen wir als Beispiel die Berber…das Wort Berber ist abgeleitet von Barbare, d.h. wer sich alles dem römischen Reich nicht gebeugt hat oder beugen wollte, gehörte somit zu den Barbaren. Es gibt sogar ‚Barbaren-Stämme‘ und dies nur, weil sie die Herrschaft des römischen Reiches, nicht akzeptiert haben…ansonsten sind die Römer, im Sinne der Grausamkeit, viel grausamer. Es waren z.B. auch wieder die Römer, welche die Menschen von Löwen haben zerfleischen lassen. Und heutzutage können Sie natürlich auch wieder den modernen Römern vertrauen und die ‚Deutschen Taliban Mujahedeen‘ als Terroristen bezeichnen. Und trotzdem werden wir niemals ‚Terroristen‘ sein. Nur wenn Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ein Terrorist war, dann sind wir auch Terroristen. Da wir nicht auf der Seite der Besatzungsmacht Amerikas und seines faschistischen Dieners Deutschland stehen, sind wir Terroristen. Ihr könnt zu uns sagen, was immer ihr wollt, aber seit dem Jahre 2000, sind in Afghanistan, Palästina, Tschetschenien und dem Irak, mehr als 100.000 Kinder getötet worden. Und wer ist dafür der Verantwortliche? Als 60 Juden gestorben sind, wurde, auf der ganzen Welt, eine Gedenkminute abgehalten. Als jedoch in der islamischen Welt 100.000 Kinder gestorben sind, hat niemand, auch nur mit der Wimper, gezuckt. Ab hier überlasse ich die Sache dem Gewissen eines jeden Einzelnen…

Gibt es eine spezielle Gruppe von Mujahedeen, die unter der Führung des Amir, der 'Deutschen Taliban Mujahedeen', Abu Ishaq al-Muhajir, stehen? Und welche Art der Ausbildung bekommen sie?

Um ehrlich zu sein, eine eigene Leibgarde besitze ich nicht, denn ich bin kein Sultan oder so. Natürlich haben wir Mujahedeen, die sehr gute Kenntnisse über Waffen und Ausrüstung haben. Diese sind nicht an mich gebunden, sondern handeln entsprechend der Anweisungen der Taliban. Diese Ausbildung wird in einem sehr umpfangreichen Rahmen gegeben, d.h. Unterrichte von chemischen und explosiven Stoffen, über Hadith- und Shariawissen, bis hin zu Waffenkunde, aller Waffen, dieser Zeit. Außerdem verfügen wir über Kenntnisse u.A. im Bereich des Spionage- und Nachrichtendienstes oder im Umgang mit Computern. Die ‚Deutschen Taliban Mujahedeen‘ sind derzeit eine sehr moderne Kampftruppe. Eine militärische Einheit, die leicht, effektiv und durchschlagsfähig ist.

Ihr letztes Wort…an die Widerstandskämpfer … an das afghanische Volk … an das amerikanische und das deutsche Volk?

Wir sagen unseren Anführern im Jihad und unseren Geschwistern: „Seid Stolz auf euch und kämpft, mit aller Kraft, gegen die Besatzer.“

An das afghanische Volk: „Dafür, dass ihr uns unterstützt und uns eure Hilfe nicht verweigert habt und stets geduldig wart, werden wir euch und dieses Land nicht alleine lassen. “

An das amerikanische und deutsche Volk: „ Wie lange wollt ihr diesen Irrsinn noch glauben? Und sagt euren Führern, dass sie zur Besinnung kommen und nicht weiter das Blut, unserer und eurer Soldaten, vergießen sollen. Wir werden die Soldaten Allahs, subhana wa teala, nicht eher, von unserer Pflicht des Kampfes, zurückziehen und so lange kämpfen, bis auch euer letzter Mann, auf dem Schlachtfeld, stirbt.“

UBL audio to al-Jazeera claims the underwear bombing attempt

2010-01-24T02:14:00.000-08:00

The version I have is slightly over a minute long but seems to contain UBL's whole statement. It is an audio only, of poor quality; it might have been transmitted by telephone to al-Jazeera in Islamabad or elsewhere, but it was probably not UBL speaking live, but rather a recording played over the phone. The audio is undated. Bin Ladin crimes Obama for the predicament of the Gazans, but does not mention Hamas, whose members kill all their rivals including the al-Qa'ida wannabes.

Update: Al-Jazeera has put the recording on YouTube.

Update, 24 January: UBL doesn't exactly claim the plot, but he endorses it and he promises more of the same if he doesn't get his own way re the Gaza Strip. It's odd that he would focus on Gaza at this time, and I suspect that his motive for doing so is to ingratiate himself with one of Hamas's few remaining Arabian backers, namely Abdul-Majid al-Zindani in Yemen.

Massari looking for Iranian and Shi'ite support

2010-01-23T18:31:00.000-08:00

On Mohammed al-Massari's pro-terrorism Medad as-Sayoof forum in London, a bit of bootlicking to the "great Shi'ite imams". The sender

هادم الأصنام

مجاهد فعال

could be just a sock puppet of Massari himself. Massari has been unable to mend fences with Maqdisi's guys, so he's trying some new ways to get support. Endorsing the Iranian mullocracy is very abnormal for a contemporary Sunni terrorist.

العريفي هو أحد "دعاة" وزارة الداخلية السعودية التي تستلهم واجباتها من دعوة محمد بن عبد الوهاب وابن باز والعثيمين

قام العريفي مؤخراً بإلقاء خطبة عصماء سبّ فيها المجوسي آية الشيطان السيستاني بعدما حرّض أنصار الدعوة السلفجامية على ما سمّاه هو "الجهاد ضد الحوثيين"
.

وقد ظهر "العريفي" في إحدى الصور وهو يحمل رشّاشاً إلى جانب جندي سعودي متمسلف على مذهب السفير الأمريكي في السعودية

أمة الإسلام لا يزال الجهل مستشرياً بين كثير من أبنائها للأسف ، إذ قاموا بالتصفيق للعريفي واعتبروه يقول كلمة حق ضد كبير أئمة الرافضة في العراق
.

ولكنهم لم يعلموا أن خطبة العريفي جاءت تنفيذاً لسياسة وزارة الداخلية والدفاع في دولة آل سلول التي تتبع مذهب ابن عبد الوهاب

قال العريفي في خطبته أن الحوثيين أتباع قبور وأنهم ينفذون تعليمات إيران وعميلها الزنديق القابع في إحدى ضواحي العراق "ويقصد السيستاني"
!

ما شاء الله على كلمة الحق هذه
!!!

أرأيتم كيف يستغل علماء ومشايخ آل سلول الدين لخدمة أهدافهم وسياساتهم ؟

أرأيتم كيف يستغل علماء ومشايخ آل سلول جهل المسلمين في الترويج لعمليات الجيش السعودي المستعرب العميل لأمريكا ؟

القتال ضد الحوثيين جهاد !!! لأنهم عبّاد قبور
!!

أما القتال ضد الأمريكان الصليبيين وعملاؤهم فهو حرام وإرهاب ! لأنه اعتداء على أهل الذمة والمستأمنين
!!!

يا أيها المسلمون ليست العبرة أن يسب أحدنا السيستاني ليصبح من الدعاة المجاهدين أو الخطباء المفوّهين
..

ليست العبرة أن نقول عن الرافضة عبّاد قبور لكي يقال عنا أننا "موحّدون" و"سلفيون"
!!

يا أمة الإسلام أفيقي .. الحكام الطواغيت وجيوشهم هم أداة اليهود والصليبيين ومشايخهم أبواق رخيصة في مؤسساتهم
.

السيستاني مجوسي مجرم لا لأنه يدعم معارضي الدولة السعودية ، ولكنه مجرم زنديق لأنه يحارب الإسلام وأهله ويتعاون مع الاحتلال اليهودي الصليبي على بلاد المسلمين
.

الدولة السعودية تقاتل الحوثيين ليس دفاعاً عن الإسلام والعقيدة ... ولكنها تقاتلهم لذر الرماد في عيون الجهلة ولتبقى سياسة الصهاينة قائمة في جزيرة العرب
..

الدولة السعودية تقاتل الحوثيين لا لأنهم شيعة روافض أو زيديين ، ولكنها تقاتلهم حفاظاً على الاتفاقيات اليهودية ومن بينها اتفاقية سايكس بيكو
.

اللهم اهدم كيان دولة آل سلول ، وأقم دولة الإسلام على أنقاضها
.

هادم الأصنام

Tartusi of Londonistan getting belligerent

2010-01-19T01:41:00.000-08:00

Abu Baseer at-Tartusi, real name Abdul-Mun'im Mustafa Halima, recently posted a fatwa "authorizing" violence against the regime of Saudi Arabia. Well, more accurately, somebody had asked him for permission to commit such violence and Tartusi condemned the Saudi regime and left the call up to the reader. I don't want to give links here to Tartusi's websites, which carry serious malware, but you can find the fatwa on the English websites of the Shabaab franchise of al-Qa'ida.

At-Tartusi (a mock-tribal surname, after Tartus in Syria) is a terrorism-friendly Sunni pseudo-cleric, harboured and supported by the British government since he fled from the defeated Ikhwan uprising in Syria years ago. Tartusi especially admired the rampaging butcher who called himself Abu Mus'ab az-Zarqawi.

Tartusi as a rule writes only in Arabic, which is one of the reasons why his following in Londonistan is small. He does however have the endorsement of Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi's people.

[ بيان توضيح كذب إعلام الطواغيت والصليبين]

الحمد لله القائل: {بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ}، والصلاة والسلام على النبي الخاتم القائل: " وإن الكذب يهدي إلى الفجور، وإن الفجور يهدي إلى النار، وإن الرجل ليكذب حتى يكتب عند الله كذاباً"
أما بعد ...............

فقد كثر من الحكومة اليمنية العميلة الادعاءات الكاذبة، بزعمها نجاح عملياتها المشتركة مع الأمريكان، ضد قيادات المجاهدين في جزيرة العرب، وآخر هذه الادعاءات أنها قتلت ستة منهم بين ولايتي الجوف وصعدة في منطقة الأجاشر، وإننا نطمئن أمتنا المسلمة أنه لم يقتل أحد من المجاهدين في تلك الغارة الغاشمة الغادرة، وإنما أصيب بعض الأخوة بجروح طفيفة، وكما أن الحكومة اليمنية تكذب في أعداد القتلى في غاراتها السابقة، فهي كذلك تكذب في الأسماء التي توردها لتبرير غارتها الأخيرة الفاشلة.
وتأتي هذه الكذبة تكملة لمسلسل الأكاذيب التي روجتها الحكومة عن الغارات السابقة، بدأً من غارة أبين والتي شاهد الناس ضحاياها من النساء والأطفال والآمنين وحتى الغارة الأخيرة، والتي فشلت في تحقيق أهدافها ولله الحمد.
إن الحكومة اليمنية العميلة تسعى من خلال هذه الادعاءات؛ لإثبات نصر مزعوم، تتقدم به قرباناً لأوباما وبراون وحلفائهما في مؤتمر لندن، زاعمة أن لها القدرة للقضاء على المجاهدين في جزيرة العرب، وهدف المسؤولين اليمنيين هو أكل السحت من أموال الغرب ببيع دماء النساء والأطفال المسلمين في جزيرة محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.
إن واجب أمتنا المسلمة اليوم هو إعلان الجهاد على الكفار وأعوانهم العملاء، ليس في البر فحسب ولكن في البحر والجو أيضا ، فالبوارج الحربية الصليبية موجودة في خليج عدن، وفي بحر العرب وفي البحر الأحمر، والطائرات التجسسية الأمريكية منتهكة لأجواء جزيرة العرب، وكما أعلنوها حرباً مفتوحة على أهل الإسلام، فيجب علينا أن نعلنها حرباً مفتوحة على الصليبيين وأعوانهم الخونة، قال تعالى: { وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَافَّـةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَافَّة } [التوبة:36].
ونلفت انتباه إخواننا المسلمين في أنحاء الأرض إلى عدم تصديق إعلام الحكومة اليمنية المرجف، وبعض القنوات الفضائية، حتى يصدر بيان رسمي من جهتنا عبر المراكز والمنتديات الجهادية الصادقة على شبكة الانترنت، وإن شاء الله سنوافيكم بتفاصيل أكثر عن هذه الحملة الأمريكية السعودية اليمنية الصليبية لاحقاً، والتأخير إنما هو لدواعٍ أمنية.

Or so they claim on the English-Urdu forum of the Lal Masjid people who name themeselves after the jamia hafsa madrassa. It's a letter to prospective jihadi-ettes.

The jamia hafsa madrassa was for burqa-concealed female students only, and it's destruction by Pakistani forces in 2007 really got under Ayman al-Zawahiri's skin.

Update: Below is an English translation done by somebody in the largely European "Mourabiteen" online group. I have omitted the opening and closing paternosters.

To the Muslim Sisters
Umaymah Hasan Ahmed Muhammed Hasan
Wife of Sheikh Ayman Al Zawahiri

My righteous sisters, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon you...
I wanted to talk with you, from quite a while, about the great happenings and decisive situations our Ummah is going through, but the circumstances intervened between me and you, bur it is high time now that I talk with my honorable sisters, however I start with our families and loved ones in our dear country, and I say to them, don’t worry for us, for we are by the grace of the Almighty in wellness and bounties from Allah Almighty, and our hearts and souls are with you, though we have
been separated by the distances.
This is how this world is, meetings and partings as we seek solace in the fact that we are on the truth and for truth are we called upon, as our Lord Almighty has said
“So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers. (Surah Aal Imran 139)”
And it might happen that we meet soon if Allah wills because the ease of Allah is close and His victory is eminent by the will of Allah.
And after the family and loved ones I direct my word to the righteous sisters in our precious Islamic Ummah, and would specify in mentioning our dear stationed sisters in the lands of Jihad in different spots of the earth, and to our mothers who have given up their sons in the way of Allah and the victory of His religion. And in spite of this, they do not tire or get bored from aiding this religion. How many husbands and sons and brothers have they given!!! and How much were they hurt in the way of Allah!!! So all of our conditions are one; Women who are stationed and in Jihad, who are hurt in the way of Allah, and gave what they had of sacrifices, but – by Allah beside who there is no God - all this has not and will not belate us even a moment from aiding our religion in spite of what we have gone through in this path from the losing of loved ones and distance from families. In spite of all this- we do not find anything except the sweetness of what we are in, accepting what Allah has honored us with, and exalted over the rest of his slaves, that He blessed us with Jihad in His way, and aiding of His religion, and raising His word high. In spite of all these trials we are in sufficiency of living, and honor and blessing from Allah almighty. So my dear and beloved sisters : Steadfastness, steadfastness on this path. For verily, no Super Power nor any international alliances will stop us, and Allah Almighty is with us, and he is our reliance and caretaker, and we will not fear any one, who ever it be, except Allah Almighty, and we are – and praise is to Allah- over what ever we face, steadfast and we seek glad tidings with the promise of Allah to us, as our Lord said “Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near. (Surah Baqara 214)”
So victory is near by the will of Allah, and our Lord will not abandon, so it is either victory or either martyrdom, and each of it is sweeter than the other. And we will not relax in the service of our religion for it is the most precious thing we posses.
I ask Allah for us and for our sisters in the different spots of earth – and specially in the lands of Stationing, like Palestine and Iraq and Chechnya and Afghanistan and Somalia- patience and steadfastness till death, for it is either victory or martyrdom. “And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know. (Surah Yusuf 21)”
And I remind my self and my dear Muslim sisters of the (Women)Companions – the Mujahidaat and Migrants and Believers, for they are the best of ideals for us, and through them we are guided and by them we feel solace. For how many are the lessons and how many are the wisdom in their pure life stories. They did not ever tire or falter from the service of our religion, so we –Allah willing – are on their path. And the greatest ideal for us is Sayyidah Khadijah (May Allah be pleased with her). She supported the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) immensly in fulfilling his daawah. And she used to say to him ‘Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your Kith and kin, serve your guests generously, help the poor and the destitute and assist the deserving calamity-afilicted ones.’
And similarly Sayyidah Safiyyah –May Allah be pleased with her- she was from the bravest of women. When a Jew passed by the fort, he started patrolling around the fort and the Muslims were in the throats of their enemies. She came down and killed the Jew with a pole. She was not scared and she did not falter. So she was braver than many men of today.
And similarly Sayyidah Umm Ammarah (May Allah be pleased with her) she was injured in Uhud twelve times while defending the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and she lost her hand on the day of Yamamah, leaving out which, she was injured on the day of Yamamah 11 times.
So these are the ones whom we follow, in supporting our Husbands on the right, in bravery and in footsteps and we do not fear any one except Allah Almighty.

My second letter is to my Imprisoned Muslim sisters in the prisons of the Tyrants
I say to them: You are in our hearts, and we will not forget you ever, and Allah willing we will not leave any effort to release you from imprisonment, for you are our honor and we are your sisters, and we never forget you. And Allah knows that we always pray to Allah to protect you from every evil and harm and hasten your release.
My third letter is to the common Muslim women in the world Firstly I call them to adhere with all the rules of Islam, for in it is the happiness of the world and the victory in the here after, specially adherence with Hijab, for it is the title of the Muslim woman who is obedient to her Lord, obedient to His orders. And in leaving it there is obedience to Satan, and as you know O Muslim sisters, the campaign against the Hijab is from the fiercest wars between Islam and Kufr, for these criminal Kuffars want the woman yo get rid of her religion, and the first thing that the woman leaves is her; outfit and cover, for if the woman left her outfit and cover, it is followed by leaving the rest of her religion.
So the Muslim women should take care of this well, and as you know O Muslim sister that the West does not want you except as a commodity to trade with, and to erase with you the poles of Islam, for Hijab is for the Muslim woman the first pole from the pillars of Islam, as in it is your sanctity and your purity and cover.
And the Western world does not want you to be adherent with hijab for the adherence of the woman to Hijab depicts their lowness and the cheapness of their manners and their social habitat.
The Kafir West trades with women, and considers woman a cheap commodity, for she is for them neither inviolable nor respected but she is for them a source from the sources of trade of evil and shamelessness, and refuge is with Allah from all this.
But the Muslim veiled woman is inviolable and respected in her house and outside and she is the precious jewel, and the expensive pearl. And as our Lord Almighty has said “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. (Surah Al Ahzaab 59)”. This is the saying of Allah the Almighty to his prophet peace be upon him to address with it his wives and daughters and the women of Muslims.
Therefore, we should, me dear sisters, adhere to the Shari Hijab, for that is better for us in the world and hereafter Secondly, I advice my Muslim sisters to raise their sons on the obedience of Allah the Almighty and the love of Jihad in His way, and persuade their brothers and husbands and sons to defend the lands of Muslims and their wealth, and to retrieve them from the occupiers, who have violated the lands of Muslims, and looted its riches, and to awaken the Ummah to acquit itself from those who want to collaborate with the enemies and give up the lands of Muslims And I also advice them to help the Mujahideen with prayers and money, and to help the families of the injured and the prisoners with money and donations to their children and women, for they are in the greatest of need for support to face the difficulties of life.
And I remind my sisters with the saying of Prophet (peace and blessing upon him) : “Fasting is protection and Sadaqah extinguishes the sins like water extinguishes fire” (Reported by Tirmidhi, and he classified it as Hasan Saheeh) And I also remind them with the saying of Prophet (peace and blessing upon him) : “O the gathering of women, give alms for I have seen you as the majority of the inhabitants of Hell fire” (Reported by Bukhari)
And I assure my Muslim sisters everywhere of the role of the Muslim woman in the Islamic world, for women are the siblings of men, so the Muslim women should work beside men to defend her religion and land. Thus she should defend with herself and if she cannot then with her money and if she cannot then by calling in the way of her religion by inviting her Muslim sisters in the Masjids, schools, institutes and houses, and if she is incapable of that then through the internet, she should write her Daawah and spread it and spread the call of the Mujahideen and it will reach by the will of Allah and she will find heedful ears and hearts. So I hope from you my dear sister that you do not tire or get bored , from aiding our religion in any way possible.
And by the way, many questions have been raised concerning the role of the Muslim women in the current Jihad, and I say, and from Allah is guidance: Jihad is Fard Ayn on every Muslim man and woman, but the way of fighting is not easy for Muslim women for it requires a Mahram, as the woman should have a Mahram with her in her going and coming, but we should aid our religion in several ways, and should keep our selves in the service of the Mujahideen, and we should fulfill whatever they ask of us, may it be through monetary aid to them or any service or information or suggestion or participation in fighting or even through a martyrdom operation, How many sisters have performed martyrdom operations in Palestine and Iraq and Chechnya, and vexed the enemy, and caused them a great defeat!!! We ask Allah to accept them and make us follow them in goodness.
But our basic role in which we hope Allah to accept from us, is to protect the Mujahideen in their children and houses and secrets, and to help them by giving good upbringing to their children. Your Migrant sisters- and to Allah is all praise and thanks- are doing a great work in this field, and are practicing great patience and steadfastness and bravery and abstinence from the world and love of the Hereafter and working for it, in spite of what they are facing of hardship in living, and losing of their husbands and children and fathers, and lack of stability, to the point that some of them have been put to trial through captivity, but your migrant sisters are patient and seeking the pleasure of Allah, and to Allah is all praise and thanks.
At the end of my statement I would like to remind my sisters that our end and sustenance are written with Allah, and Jihad does not bring hasten ones death, nor does it decrease sustenance, and that Jihad today has become Fard Ayn, as the foreign Kafir enemy has occupied the lands of Muslims and the three sacred sites are under its control and occupation and also the apostate puppet rulers have taken control over the Muslims, and the scholars have consensus on the necessity of the removal of the apostate.
And as the martyr of Islam –as we hold him – the Sheikh Abd Allah Azzam –May Allah have mercy on him said– Jihad has become Fard Ayn on the Ummah since the fall of Andalus. As the commanders of the Mujahideen call the Ummah to leave to the battlefields of Jihad, we should , my dear sisters, not abstain from this religious obligation and we should persuade others to it.
And I give you glad tidings that Jihad is in victory and development, and the Western media in spite of its acceptance of the losses of the Crusades and the Jews in many fields of Jihad, does not transfer except a part of the truth, and hides most of it. So you should take by the Media of the Mujahideen, that transfers the reality from the battlefield, and depicts the fake of the Western media. And here, we stand in front of you as a living example of the incapability of the Crusaders, for after 8 years from the starting of the Crusades we are still – by the grace of Allah - carrying out Jihad from Chechnya to the Islamic Algeria, so have faith in the victory of Allah, who says in his Book “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak. (Surah An Nisa’a 76)”

Yemeni forces claim substantial progress around Sana'a

2010-01-10T22:52:00.000-08:00

The Yemeni armed forces site called 26 September claims to have killed a number of terrorists, some of whom they name, and destroyed seven of their vehicles in and around the nation's capital Sana'a.

The cult compound "Eman University", which is Wahhabi and not Shi'ite like the Houthi group, is in Sana'a. But 26sep.net does not mention Eman, nor its founder and boss Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, nor Anwar al-Awlaki, who might be hiding there.

Anwar al-Awlaki still unaccounted for

2010-01-02T15:37:00.000-08:00

After years of nursing the self-pity and grandiosity of his anglophone gutter audience, Anwar al-Awlaki's career took an abrupt turn on 24 December 2009 when an airstrike was delivered to his al-Qa'ida friends in spite of the chance of killing al-Awlaki in the process. The "martyrdom" that he encourages other Islamists to pursue, he himself nearly received and is now in line for, assuming that he is still alive. If I understand that cult leader, and I think I do, he will be deeply shocked -- shocked into silence, temporarily, and shocked into hiding, possibly at Eman University in Sana'a (a cult compound run by terrorism financier and gun-runner Abdul-Majid az-Zindani).

At present the facts available about al-Awlaki are mostly negative ones. No terrorist cleric or terrorist financier, nor any of the Londonistani al-Qa'ida people, has jumped up to protest the Shabwah raid and make dire imprecations about a forthcoming AQ response. The raid in Shabwah is getting relative little enemy discussion and no reliable reporting in the internet forums, presumably because (1) it was a disaster for al-Qa'ida, and (2) not many enemy in that location lived to tell about what happened, and those who did are on the run.

If al-Awlaki was privy to the Christmas Day airliner plot, then he must be in a state of consternation to know Abdulmutallab is still alive and in American custody. That wasn't in the script. Al-Awlaki wants all his followers dead, not only because he never saw a corpse he didn't love, but also because dead terrorists tell no tales.

Update: CNN is now looking at Eman University and Zindani.

Update: Fox too.

If al-Awlaki reaches the safety of Zindani's bizarre "university", he will be able to communicate on the internet. If he does so communicate, then his words may well be shaped to ingratiate himself with Zindani. Specifically, if al-Awlaki goes out of his way to make excuses for Hamas, then it can be taken as evidence that he is in Eman U. That is because, although Hamas has been in al-Qa'ida's bad books since August 2009 when they killed off the AQ startup group called Jund Ansar Allah, Hamas still has the firm support of Zindani's money and his weapons-smuggling apparatus.

Don't go the website of Eman University unless you have reliable security software running.

Update: Fox telephone interview with an intelligent and observant eye witness. A must see.

Update: CBS/AP reporting some official Dutch material about what happened at the Amsterdam airport.

AQAP's claim of the bombing attempt against an American airliner on Christmas Day. The right-to-left text is a bit garbled. The claim is surely authentic because al-Qa'ida's collaborators in al-Jazeera have not removed it from their terrorist forum.

عملية الأخ المجاهد عمر الفاروق النيجيري

في رد العدوان الأمريكي على اليمن

والصلاة والسلام على الرسول الخاتم القائل: "نصرت بالرعب مسيرة شهر".......... أما بعد:

فقد قام بفضل الله الأخ البطل المجاهد الاستشهادي عمر الفاروق بعملية نوعية على متن طائرة أمريكية، منطلقة من مدينة أمستردام الهولندية إلى مدينة ديترويت الأمريكية، وذلك أثناء احتفالاتهم بأعياد "الكريسمس" في يوم الجمعة 25 ديسمبر 2009م، اخترق فيها كل الأجهزة والتقنيات الحديثة المتطورة والحواجز الأمنية في مطارات العالم بإقدام وشجاعة لا يهاب الموت متوكلا على الله، مسقطاً بفعله العظيم أسطورة الاستخبارات الأمريكية والدولية، مبيناً هشاشتها مرغماً أنفها في التراب، جاعلاً كل ما أنفقوه في تطوير التقنيات الأمنية حسرةً عليهم.

إن وحدة العقيدة والأخوة الإسلامية هي التي دفعت الشاب الثري ذو الأصول النيجرية الأخ المجاهد عمر الفاروق للرد مباشرة على العدوان الأمريكي الظالم على جزيرة العرب، وذلك بالتنسيق المباشر بفضل الله مع المجاهدين في جزيرة العرب عقب القصف الوحشي باستخدام القنابل العنقودية وصواريخ الكروز التي أطلقت من السفن الأمريكية المحتلة لخليج عدن، على قبائل اليمن الأبية في أبين وأرحب وأخيراً في شبوة، وقتلهم للعشرات من نساء وأطفال المسلمين وقد قُتلت أُسر بكاملها، وتمت هذه العمليات بتنسيق يمني، أمريكي، سعودي وعدد من دول الجوار.

وقد قام الأخوة المجاهدون في قسم التصنيع بالتوصل بفضل الله إلى عبوة ذات تقنية متطورة، وتم تجربتها وثبت نجاحها وفاعليتها كما تم تمريرها على أجهزة الكشف، وقد وصل الأخ الاستشهادي عمر إلى هدفه بفضل الله، ولكن بقدر من الله حدث خلل فني أدى إلى عدم الانفجار الكامل، وإننا سنواصل الطريق بإذن الله حتى نصل لما نريد، ويكون الدين كله لله.

وندعو كل مسلم غيور على دينه وعقيدته أن يقوم بإخراج المشركين من جزيرة العرب، وذلك بقتل كل صليبي يعمل في السفارات أو غيرها، وأعلنوها حرباً شاملة على كل صليبي في جزيرة محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في البر والبحر والجو.

وندعو كل جندي يعمل في الجيوش الصليبية والحكومات العميلة أن يتوب إلى الله ويحذوا حذوَ الأخ البطل المجاهد نضال حسن، ويقوم بقتل كل صليبي بكل وسائل القتل المتاحة له نصرة لدين الله وإعلاء لكلمته في الأرض.

ومن هنا نقول للشعب الأمريكي بما أنكم تدعمون قادتكم وتقفون خلفهم في قتل نساءنا وأطفالنا، فابشروا بما يسوؤكم فقد جئناكم بالذبح وأعددنا لكم رجالاً يحبون الموت كما تحبون الحياة، وبإذن الله سنأتيكم بما لا قِبل لكم به، فكما تقتلون تُقتلون وإن غداً لناظره قريب.

وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أي منقلب ينقلبون
اللهم ثبت الأخ المجاهد عمر الفاروق على الحق، وأنزل عليه السكينة والصبر والثبات أضعاف ما نزل به من البلاء، اللهم فرج همه ونفس كربه، واجعل له فرجاً ومخرجاً قريباً من حيث لا يحتسب، اللهم فك أسره وأسرى المسلمين في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها غير مغيرين ولا مبدلين ثابتين على الحق برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين، اللهم انصر عبادك المجاهدين في كل مكان واهزم الشرك وأهله، وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين.

Shabwah, Yemen, 24 December 2009

2009-12-24T20:35:00.000-08:00

The reports all agree that the target was a gathering of Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, and the death toll was upwards of 30. But they don't agree on much else. It is firm that Muhammad Ahmad Salih al-'Umur is dead, just one day after al-Jazeera broadcast some of his propaganda. Several other emirs or semi-emirs are probably dead, including the last two of the four members of the original shurah of the reconstituted AQAP. Those are Naser Abdul-Karim al-Wahishi and Sa'id al-Shihri.

It would excellent news if Anwar al-Awlaki was killed, but that is no certainty from where I'm sitting.

The general cloak of silence over this important development makes me suspect that additional attacks against AQAP are in preparation or under way. Al-Jazeera's terrorist forum, where AQ would be very quick to make its routine eulogies and threats of revenge, is offline, and some Yemeni private news outlets seem to be in the dark more than is usual for them. So, I figure there are not just some pieces yet to fill in to this good story, but additional good news in the offing.

Update: The al-Jazeera terrorist forum is back up, but up to this moment it contains nothing about the Shabwah affair except a rather small volume of the predictable Arab bombast.

AP mentioning the anglophone terrorist websites

2009-11-19T18:52:00.000-08:00

Fox was willing to carry this fairly long commentary from Associated Press, [update: CBS too] datelined Riyadh. The article points out the prominence of Anwar al-Awlaki among anglophone terrorist propagandists, and goes on a little about an allegedly successful effort at de-radicalization of terrorist forum members, run from Saudi Arabia. In reality some of the worst hate-sheikhs in the English language, such as Feiz Mohammed, are Wahhabis controlled directly by the Saudi ruling class. The only Sunni terrorists those people care about are the ones who threaten Saudi Arabia. That subset includes al-Awlaki, but not a great many other English speakers.
As the article says, Sunni terrorist web traffic in Arabic has declined considerably, partly because of the crackdowns that they mention, but also for other sound reasons, in particular the defeat of al-Qa'ida in Iraq.

Quilliam's report

2009-11-17T06:17:00.000-08:00

Here it is again. The document does serve some useful purposes, which is to say, it is not just another 130 pages of the evasion, equivocation, and perversion so familiar to all observers of contemporary Islamist terrorism. A religious bias is inevitably present, but relatively light. For example, Quilliam does firmly object to the British prison system enabling and facilitating the broadcast of Muslim terrorist incitement from within what the British describe as high-security prisons. On the other hand, Quilliam rather dramatizes the British mishandling of a Palestinian psychiatric patient while not mentioning their equally inept mishandling of other psychiatric patients; indeed they quote the guy's wife in an interview she gave to "cageprisoners" -- a group whose whole purpose is to nurse the self-pity of British Muslim criminals and their sympathizers.

The report and its concluding advice about rehabilitation are not bad on the whole.

They don't mention that Abu Doha is at large. But I'll mention it.

Quilliam's report re Abu Doha

2009-11-15T22:31:00.000-08:00

A British government-funded academic group called the Quilliam Foundation (named after a 19th Century British convert to Islam) will release in a few hours a report about some of the Muslims who incite and "authorize" terrorist attacks even while they are in British custody. The report is unlikely to contain much that isn't already known to those of us who follow the internet activities of the British Muslim fascist gutter, but it will at least compel Whitehall, at least temporarily, to stop feigning ignorance of these goings-on.

Press release from Quilliam with a synopsis of the report.

This excerpt deserves mention:
In 2005, Amar Makhlulif (also known as Abu Doha), an Algerian extremist who is wanted by France, Italy and the US on terrorism charges, was given courses while held in Belmarsh which enabled him to become a 'listener', a prisoner who officially mentors and gives advice to other prisoners.

That was in 2005, though. Today Abu Doha is at large in the UK, protected by the British government from his victims in other countries, and furthermore the British authorities have ordered the British press to help them conceal the fact that they have released him, for they have told the press to identify Abu Doha only as "U". See e.g. The Times.

Update, 16 November:
The whole thing. A 130-page pdf.
More coming.

Yemen claims to be seeking to arrest al-Awlaki

2009-11-11T03:44:00.000-08:00

See CBS. It is true that al-Awlaki's internet performances have called for the destruction of all the Arab regimes including his own in Yemen, but whether the feeble Sana'a regime actually wishes to take any action against him, I don't know. Their sudden show of concern over him is undoubtedly due to pressure from the United States, because Nidal Malik Hasan is one of al-Awlaki's admirers.

Update: Today, 12 November, that vile punk al-Awlaki is front-page news at Fox among other places.

Zawahiri on Pakistan and Beitullah

2009-09-28T18:22:00.000-07:00

World Analysis has it, and so does YouTube of course. It's an audio with a static video background. It's labeled as a eulogy to the late TTP boss Beitullah Mehsud, but Zawahiri spends most of his 28 minutes and 6 seconds condemning Islamabad for apostasy and collaboration with the Crusaders and all that sort of stuff. Crude incitement seems to be all Zawahiri is capable of these days.

Update: Mustafa Abu al-Yazid has now also put out a eulogy to Beitullah, a video less than ten minutes long. With Beitullah-stan in disarray, the immediate future of the two Egyptians is rather uncertain.

Update 2009.09.25:

This relatively short UBL audio appeared today. As-Sahab logo on this one, with English and German subtitles. UBL tells Europeans to get out of Afghanistan and blame everything on the United States, basically, and he threateningly reminds Europe of the Madrid and London bombings. The most recent events he mentions are from Georgia around September 2008 which, since that isn't really relevant to al-Qa'ida's program, suggests that the audio is a full year old.

Please help save Hussein Murradi (repost)

2009-09-23T21:23:00.001-07:00

Hussein Murradi is an Afghan civilian now in the UK. As a child he was forced to submit to the Muslim religion, but in Britain he has publicly discarded Islam. Now the UK has turned down his application for refugee status, and intends to return him to Afghanistan, where it is highly likely that he will be lynched for apostasy.

An NGO called the British Humanist Association is defending Murradi. Please visit:

http://www.humanism.org.uk/news/view/356

That page contains a form which facilitates an email to the British cabinet secretary responsible for refugee claims.

This article at The Independant contains some quotations from Murradi himself.

If Murradi is granted refugee status in the UK, or if he is moved to some country that has the guts to protect him, I will remove this blog entry from the web. Until then I will be watching this affair, including any involvement of the many Muslim pressure groups in the UK.

Zawahiri and Gadahn star in "The West and the Dark Tunnel"

2009-09-22T19:29:00.001-07:00

As-Sahab video.

World Analysis has at least some of it. It is also on YouTube.

This is AQ's overdue 9/11 anniversary video. It's in a sort of TV documentary format, loaded with special effects. The makers had access to a large array of TV news footage from various places.

It contains some unremarkable new speeches from Zawahiri, Abu Yahya, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, and Gadahn.

As for its targets, Hamas is one; they eulogize the idiotic "Abu an-Noor al-Maqdisi" and his Jaish Ansar Allah people, who were massacred by Hamas in August 2009. Another target of the day is Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi defense minister, whose bribery by the British arms firms BAE was concealed by Tony Blair personally.

As in terrorist propaganda generally, lots of pieces of this AQ video are selected to incite and to nurse resentment. A frequent trick in this one is to show one person greeting another, or joking with another, or dining with another, for the purpose of spreading the viewer's hate of one of those people onto the other. For example, GWB and Blair are seen sharing a joke in front of the White House.

The video continues a recent pattern in al-Qa'ida propaganda, of calling attention to Abu Qatada, who for the time being is being kept out of circulation by his British hosts. Abu Qatada is the most senior al-Qa'ida member in the UK. AQ regards him as a cleric. One of the URL's of AQ's main online library is named for him. In the past, Abu Qatada has been AQ's go-to guy when they want religious authorization for mass murders in Europe, such as the Madrid train bombings.

Shabaab endorsing Bin Ladin

2009-09-22T12:52:00.000-07:00

CBS News describes a recent Shabaab video in which they make obeisances to Usama Bin Ladin.

As-Sahab logo on this one. 48:33 in length. English subtitles for the voices using Arabic or Somali, and Arabic subtitles in some other portions. No Somali subtitles. It contains a variety of preexisting propaganda and TV video plus its own TV-style decorations. "An Eid present", they call it.

No doubt, one of the aims of this video is to attract sponsorship (weapons, money, travel documents, and publicity) from the same Arabs who support the other al-Qa'ida franchises, several of which they salute in this video. But there is also quite a bit of footage of young guys training. So, recruitment from outside Somalia is another motive of Shabaab's on this occasion.

The video makes no mention of the recent killing of Saleh Nabhan in Somalia, or any subsequent events.

Bekkay Harrach video of September 2009

Although German forces played a part in the highly publicized air strike of 4 September which killed about 60 armed Taliban and 30 unarmed collaborators, Harrach does not mention that incident. Thus the video seems to have been made earlier than that date.

In 2007 a Lebanese gem merchant "Aleem N" was sentenced in Germany to 8 years imprisonment for his actions in support of al-Qa'ida. Aleem N was the guy who introduced Bekkay Harrach to the Islamic Jihad Union, a Turkish-European franchise of al-Qa'ida, in Pakistan. Aleem was convicted largely on the testimony against him by his son, who is a member of the German armed forces. This may be part of the reason why the German army is on Harrach's mind, assuming that the contents of the new video were up to Harrach at all.

IJU is not mentioned in this video. Instead there is a rather self-conscious introduction "al-Qa'ida presents" and a "promise from al-Qa'ida". The logo of Fajr (not as-Sahab) is attached. Fajr has been in conflict with the GIMF propaganda computer people lately, claiming that some GIMF personnel have been captured in Egypt and their stuff is no longer to be trusted.

It would be nice to know why Harrach goes out of his way to say that the city of Kiel will not be attacked. The only theory that I have is that he wants the security of that city to be relaxed.

In this video, the original background has been digitally removed and replaced with a still photograph.

Update: There is now an audio from Harrach as well, as-Sahab rather than al-Fajr this time, mocked up as a video with an old photo of a masked Harrach. It is more religious in nature than his other material or than terrorist propaganda in general. There is no indication that it is recent, and its release was presumably timed merely to try to influence the upcoming German election.

Update 2009.09.25: Another piece of the same (IMO insignificant) kind of material appeared today. YouTube will soon have a dozen copies of it, I'm sure.

A Turk in Stuttgart has been arrested after he uploaded the second of Harrach's recent pieces:

Massari of Londonistan trying to get back in business

2009-09-17T11:56:00.000-07:00

Muhammad al-Massari lives in London with the status of a political refugee. Under British government protection he has run pro-terrorism web forums with various names over the years, most recently Midaad as-Siyuf (Ink of Swords, i.e. blood). He's back now, reusing his old Tajdeed trademark. Midaad went down not long after a conflict broke out between Massari on one side, and al-Qa'ida cleric Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi and his Londonistani sycophant Hani al-Siba'i on the other.

Maqdisi versus Massari

Hani al-Siba'i clashing with Muhammad al-Massari

Maqdisi sides with al-Siba'i; al-Massari backs down

Now Massari on his newest forum has taken the title "Imam" and has written some excuses about why the previous forum went down. In particular, he's claiming that the dispute had taken a profane and abusive tone "unworthy of a Muslim, let alone a mujahid" (my translation, from his Arabic). He makes obeisances to Maqdisi and Siba'i, and I think lately he has been flattering the Egyptian side of al-Qa'ida a little, presumably to ingratiate himself with Siba'i, who is a publicity hub of al-Qa'ida's Egyptian component.

Update:
Massari has numerous YouTube accounts, whereby he is busily uploading pro-terrorism propaganda videos. His terrorist forum is not getting much traffic, but he's using it to publicize and distribute some of his previous writings which endorse suicide bombings, indiscriminate mass homicide of noncombatants, and everything about his fellow Saudi Usama Bin Ladin.

Pakistan arrests a curious group of Swedish and Turkish nationals

2009-09-11T22:17:00.000-07:00

Associated Press via Fox News.

Much of the web presence of al-Qa'ida and affiliated Sunni groups is run from Turkey, with assistants in Germany, Sweden, and the UK.

Update: A Swedish paper, Aftonbladet, says the ex-Guantanamo Swede Mehdi-Mohammed Ghezali had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia. They quote an anti-Guantanamo pressure group who in turn quote the guy's father in Sweden.

Update: The story broke when some official in Pakistan gave AP a list of the names of those arrested. It turns out that they were picked up "last week at a checkpoint in the southern town of Dera Ghazi Khan" according to the Pakistani news website The Nation.

Update: Sweden confirms 3 nationals held in Pakistan from Dawn News.

Update: All the big news organs now have this story. Mehdi-Mohammed Ghezali is indeed one of those arrested.

Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and the UK

2009-09-09T03:02:00.000-07:00

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi is the head of a pseudo-charity in Libya, called the Gaddafi Development Foundation, which says it is mediating a "reconciliation" between Tripoli and more than 1000 members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group who are now in Libyan prisons. After publicly recanting and foreswearing violence, they will be let out of prison. The story is being covered by two Arab newspapers in London (Ash-Sharq al-Awsat and al-Quds al-Arabi), whose reports are corroborated by one of the most senior al-Qa'ida mouthpieces in Londonistan. The UK is currently harbouring at least nine LIGF members:

GHUMA ABD’RABBAH, Birmingham
ABDULBASIT ABDULRAHIM, London and Birmingham
ABD AL-RAHMAN AL-FAQIH, Birmingham
FARAJ FARAJ HUSSEIN AL-SA’IDI, possibly Manchester
MAFTAH MOHAMED ELMABRUK, London
MOHAMMED BENHAMMEDI, Midlands somewhere
ABDELRAZAG ELSHARIF ELOSTA, London
ABDULBAQI MOHAMMED KHALED, Birmingham
TAHIR NASUF, Manchester

Those nine are all under worldwide embargo by the UN Security Council as known affiliates of al-Qa'ida. Without a doubt, Saif al-Islam has already told Brown and company what he wants done about those guys, and they will do their best to fulfill his wishes. Specifically, my guess is that Whitehall will start to play up the reconciliation and put on a show of regarding those guys as retroactively blameless.

Faraj al-Sa'idi has been convicted and sentenced in Italy. It is possible that he is the "AF" whom the UK recently released even while they conceal his identity from their own people. The release could well be part of London's secret arrangements with Tripoli.

At least two top-rung al-Qa'ida bosses are ex-LIFG: Abu Yahya al-Libi (Hassan Qaid) and Atiya Abdur-Rahman. Those people won't approve of the UK's collaboration with the Libyan regime on behalf of BP.

Update: I cannot yet definitely identify "AF". The UNSC Committee 1267 says this about Sa'idi:

An al-Qa'ida member comes in from the cold

2009-09-03T04:36:00.000-07:00

I don't know anything about Fawwaz al-Otaibi who was wanted by KSA since February and who, some time between then and now, returned to KSA to surrender. But I'm curious about where he was immediately before he packed it in. Riyadh isn't saying. The February hotsheet, naming 83 Saudis and 2 Yemenis, says that al-Otaibi's last known location was in Iran. That could mean that he had entered Iran openly, at a border station or airport. But was he en route to some other place, such as Pakistan? If anybody knows, get in touch please.

Zawahiri's despairing "Path of Doom" video

2009-08-31T06:02:00.000-07:00

It's about Pakistan, where the Taliban is being mowed down by Pakistani and tribal forces alike -- and even by one another, owing to the rivalry and disarray that has followed the elimination of Baitullah. Zawahiri and the other surviving Arab fugitives can do nothing about it. The 8-page English transcript can be read here. Zawahiri's desperation is evident.

"Tawhid and Jihad Group, Jerusalem"

2009-08-16T10:42:00.000-07:00

A four-page pdf document has appeared on a serious al-Qa'ida website, claiming to announce the formation of a new Sunni outfit calling itself Jama'ah at-Tawhid wal-Jihad, Bayt al-Maqdis. Bayt al-Maqdis means Jerusalem. The other part of the name is the same as that of Zarqawi's group before it subordinated itself to Bin Ladin and renamed itself al-Qa'ida in Iraq.

Jund Ansar Allah gets shot up in Rafah

2009-08-15T02:09:00.000-07:00

This al-Qa'ida fan club in the Gaza Strip has clashed with rival Islamist terrorists Hamas at the Ibn Taymiyah mosque in Rafah, leaving about 14 dead and 120 wounded. Hamas is reporting only one fatality among their personnel. The violence was incited or provoked by the Friday khutbah from the mosque's imam, who is also the head of JAA, called Abdul-Latif Musa alias Abu al-Noor al-Maqdisi.

As far as I know, JAA (formerly Salafi Jihad) had no sponsorship from outside Gaza. But because of its self-conscious imitation of al-Qa'ida, and its nonstop kowtowing to Bin Ladin and the other big Qa'ida names, JAA does have some following among the world's couch jihadis. Their reaction to this news might be worth watching. Qa'ida fans have been on Hamas's case before.

The mainstream press has little to report except what Hamas tells them, but a video of the first part of that khutbah has reached YouTube.

Update:
According to Hamas, 21 are now dead and Abdul-Latif Musa is one of them.

Update:
JAA's website went down not long after the battle, and now carries only the statement below. The author's main purpose seems to be to contradict Hamas's claims that JAA was planning to bomb some Hamas installations, and that JAA was subordinate to al-Qa'ida. He ends by saying that the group is awaiting a new "emir" (to replace Musa I presume).

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيـــم

(وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ * فَرِحِينَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ * يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ )

رحم الله شهدائنا .. والله الذي لا إله الا هوة الذي رفع السمواات الطباق بلا عمد

لنأثرن لدمائكم ولنرملن نسائهم كما رملو نساء مجاهدينا

غزونا بني صهيون في عقل دارهم ورجعنا لاهلينا سالمين غانمين .. فقتلو علي أيديكم في ليله الجمعة وفي هذه الأيام المباركات

كل هذا لأجل الدعاية التي نشرتها ان حماس تريد ضم المسجد الي وزارة الأوقاف

حصدت مع قراراها أرواح المجاهدين والمدنين تحت بند أننا قاعدة وتكفيرين

فقد كررناها مراراً وتكراراً انه لسنا علي علاقة بأي تفجير حدث داخل قطاع غزة ، وكان من ابرز كلمات أميرنا ابو عبد الله رحمه الله تعالي نحسبه شهيد ً ولا نزكي علي الله احدا ، كان يقول للشباب المجاهد

الذي اراد ان ينضم الي جماعة جند انصار الله وكان يريد التكفير ،، كان يرده ويقول له انت لست جاهز للعمل لدينا

ويكفي حركه حماس شرفاً ،، ان ابا عبد الله كان من أهم المطلوبين لإسرائيل وكانت سيرته الجهاديه والعسكرية لامعة

حيث كان يعد جنرالاً في الأمور العسكرية ومتخصصاً في صناعة الطلقات.. وعمل لدي حماس وقدم لديها خبراته أهمها ان اوصل اليهم صالة التدريب بالمحاكاة "السمليشن" التي رأيتم مجاهدي جند انصار الله يتدربون عليهم في إصدارتنا

فكان جزاءه أن قتلوه ، عندما علمو أن جماعة جند انصار الله ستقوى اكثر واكثر علي الساحة وان من يريد ان يجاهد بحق يعلم

ان طريق الديموقراطية والتشريعي والانتخابات والترهات التي تجري بينهم وبين فتح وخلافاتهم الداخلية ليس هي طريق المجاهدين الذي انضموا للقسام لأجله

ومن خلال موقعنا نؤكد رسمياً ونكررها ثانية اننا لم نكن ننوى ان نفجر اي مقر امني او نهاجم اي عنصر من حماس كما ذكر المدعو فتحى حماد

ولم يكن لنا اي ضلع نهائياً في اي تفجير حدث علي الساحة الفلسطينية ، ولم نكفر احد ، ولسنا تبعاً للقاعدة ، هذا كان قرار اميرنا ابو عبد الله

ونحن الآن بانتظار أميرنا الجديد

وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل

وترقبووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووو ردنـــا

Update:
The propaganda hub for the Egyptian side of al-Qa'ida, Hani al-Siba'i al-Londonistani, laments the elimination of his fellow bloodthirsty megalomaniac Abdul-Latif Musa, and condemns Hamas for deviating from its original Ikhwan manifesto.

In summary, Jund Ansar Allah was a bunch of local al-Qa'ida wannabes. Various other interests are spinning the group this way and that to fit their own agendas, but in the end JAA was nothing. Those rabble could all still be in the Ibn Taymiyah mosque, screaming their prayers for genocide around the world, and suckholing to Bin Ladin and Zarqawi just as so many other couch jihadis do. But their fantasies got the better of them, and they challenged Hamas, and they were dead within hours at the hands of the "resistance".

Update 5 September 2009:
Quite a few al-Qa'ida people have slammed Hamas for this incident, including Hussein bin Mahmoud. There's a video coming too:

Zawahiri sounds scared in new English audio

2009-07-16T02:10:00.000-07:00

It's about 9 minutes of incitement and propaganda against Pakistan, re the ongoing wipeout of the Pakistani Taliban, among whom Zawahiri has been hiding since he ran away from Aghanistan as soon as Kufr showed up in 2001.

World Analysis has the whole thing.

Zawahiri -- tedious and futile old maggot -- you feel the noose tightening around your throat.

UBL beating the drum over the Swat war

2009-07-13T21:51:00.000-07:00

A rather insubstantial recent audio from Usama Bin Ladin is about the wipeout of the Taliban going on in tribal Pakistan, particularly Swat. It's the usual stuff:

-- UBL condemns Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari for "apostasy" on the grounds that non-Muslims want to see the end of the Taliban and so does Zardari. Such charges of apostasy are a time-honored Muslim technique of inciting murder of one's rivals. UBL does not mention the total contempt in which most Pakistanis hold the Wahhabis including himself.

-- He pays homage to the fugitive "emir" Mohammed Omar, whom UBL and his backers seem to regard as the global caliph, and, as usual, UBL does not mention Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The "poet" Yusuf Abu Hilalah is a Jordanian Ikhwan member and a longstanding cheerleader for Bin Ladin.

A copy-and-paste of an English translation by the enemy:

Indeed all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, we seek His help and we seek forgiveness in Him. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and the evil effects of our actions. Whosoever Allah guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whosoever He misguides, none can guide him. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. To proceed:
My brother Muslims in Pakistan, As-Salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.

I wish to speak to you about the war taking place between the Pakistan army and the Mujahidoon in the tribal areas. The Messenger of Allah () said:
« لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه »
“None of you will truly believe until they love for their brothers what they love for themselves.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Indeed I love for you what I love for myself, and the most I love for myself is that I am saved from Hellfire and admitted into Paradise, for indeed this is the greatest success. I ask Allah to make us from its inhabitants. This is what I love for you, and this is what I need from you.
O slaves of Allah, we are all in this world in order to be tires and tested, Ponder over the saying of Allah:
﴿ الم * أحسب الناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا آمنا وهم لا يفتنون * ولقد فتنا الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن الله الذين صدقوا وليعلمن الكاذبين ﴾
“Alif Laam Meem. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say, ‘We believe,’ without being tested? Indeed we tested those before them, so that Allah makes it known who are the truthful and makes it known who are the liars.” (Al-Ankaboot: 1-3)

The trial and test we are facing in this present time is the wars being led by the Zionist-Christian alliance and their apostate aides against our Ummah. From them is the war being waged by America and the Zardari government against those demanding the establishment of Islam in the valley of Swat and the tribal areas. Hold yourselves to account before you are held accountable, and weigh your deeds before they are weighed.
From the favors of Allah upon us is that this test is easy and does not need much effort and explanation to understand. Easily put: are you for the establishment of the Shariah or are you from those who wages war against it, from America, Zardari and his aides? If you are with the first group, then thank Allah that He has guided you to be pleased with Islam and its defense. Continue your Jihad in His Cause. However, if you support Zardari and his soldiers, you are in great danger. If you die in this state, it would be the worst catastrophe you ever faced, for that is indeed the clearest loss. How is this not so, when Allah negated the Faith of those who are not pleased in referring to the Shariah. Listen to the saying of the Truth ():
﴿ فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدوا في أنفسهم حرجاً مما قضيت ويسلموا تسليماً ﴾
“No, by your Lord, they will never believe until they make you judge in what they dispute, finding no grief in their hearts for what you have judged, submitting to it totally.” (Al-Nisaa: 65)
Know well that Faith in Allah () can never coexist in a person’s heart with love of the enemies of the Shariah and allying with them. If this is the case if the enemies are our own parents and children, what if they were Zardari and his army? Think about the saying of Allah ():
﴿لا تجد قوماً يؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر يوادون من حاد الله ورسوله ولو كانوا آباءهم أو أبناءهم أو إخوانهم أو عشيرتهم أولئك كتب في قلوبهم الإيمان وأيدهم بروح منه ويدخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها لأنهار خالدين فيها رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه أولئك حزب الله ألا إن حزب الله هم المفلحون﴾
“You will never find a people who believe in Allah and the Lat Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their tribes. It is they who Allah has made faith dear to their hearts and strengthens them. He will admit them into gardens underneath which rivers flow, residing therein. Allah will be pleased with them and they with Him. Indeed it is they who are the party of Allah. Indeed it is the party of Allah who will be successful. ” (Al-Mujadilah: 22)
And also:
﴿ وما كان استغفار إبراهيم لأبيه إلا عن موعدة وعدها إياه فلما تبين له أنه عدو لله تبرأ منه إن إبراهيم لأواه حليم ﴾
“And the request of forgiveness of Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became apparent to him [i.e., Abraham] that he [i.e., the father] was an enemy to Allah, he disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient” (Al-Tawbah: 114)

Think about the saying of the Messenger of Allah ():
« أوثق عرى الإيمان الموالاة في الله والمعاداة في الله والحب في الله والبغض في الله عز وجل »
“The strongest handhold of Faith is allying for Allah and showing enmity for Allah, and loving for Allah and hating for Allah (). (Ahmed)
O slave of Allah, safeguard yourselves and your religion, and do not let the life of this world deceive you. Beware of the grave, for indeed it is a heavy affair.
Poetry:
And indeed every person arises amongst his family,
While death is nearer than the lace of his sandal.

It is only a matter of days until we part with this world. Tomorrow we will be placed in our graves, and indeed tomorrow is near for one who sees. At that time, every single one of us will be asked in his grave, “Who is your lord? What is your religion? Who is your prophet?” The Messenger of Allah () said:
« ما من عبد يقول حين يمسي وحين يصبح رضيت بالله رباً ، وبالإسلام ديناً ، وبمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم نبياً ، ثلاث مرات إلا كان حقاً على الله أن يرضيه »
“No slave says three time in the evening and morning, ‘I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, I am pleased with Islam as a religion, and I am pleased with Muhammad () as a prophet,’ except that it becomes his right upon Allah that He pleases him,” (Ahmed)
Whoever is not pleased with the Shariah, much worse wages war against it, Allah will not please them, and they will regret at a time when regret will bring no benefit.

Whoever is pleased with Islam as a religion, it is obligatory upon him to physically reject Zardari and his army’s war against the Shariah. If he does not have the ability, he must verbally speak against it. If he is unable to do even this, he must hate and reject it in his heart, and there is not even a mustard seed’s worth of Faith after this. The Messenger () said:
«ما من نبي بعثه الله في أمة قبلي إلا كان له من أمته حواريوون وأصحاب يأخذون بسنته ويقتدون بأمره ثم إنها تخلف من بعدهم خلوف يقولون ما لا يفعلون ويفعلون ما لا يؤمرون ، فمن جاهدهم بيده فهو مؤمن ومن جاهدهم بلسانه فهو مؤمن ومن جاهدهم بقلبه فهو مؤمن وليس وراء ذلك من الإيمان حبة خردل»
“No prophet before me was sent to a nation except that he had disciples and companions who followed his teachings and obeyed his commands. Then there came people after them who preached what they did not practice and practiced what they were not commanded. Whoever fights against them physically is a believer, whoever fights them verbally is a believer, and whoever fights them with his heart is a believer, and there is not even a mustard seed’s worth of Faith after this.” (Muslim)

O slave of Allah, what will you say to Allah tomorrow if you side with those who fight in order to prevent the establishment of the religion of Allah, those who fight for the sake of false deities and ways, aiding them with your weapons or your speech, justifying their actions, throwing the same accusations at the Mujahidoon as the leader of the White House, that they are devastators and terrorists? When you are asked, “What is your religion,” will you be able to lie? Even if so, your lie will not benefit you. If you say your religion is Islam but do not stand under its flag, instead standing under the flag of Obama and Zardari in their war against the religion, people are known and distinguished by their loyalties to their flags, so look to which flag you stand by. It is not unknown to you that Zardari is waging a war against the Shariah of Allah () in the cause of the American idol. Allah has explained that those who fight in the Cause of false deities are infidels. Funeral prayers are not to be performed over them, nor are they to be buried in Muslim graveyards. Think about the saying of Allah:
﴿ الذين آمنوا يقاتلون في سبيل الله والذين كفروا يقاتلون في سبيل الطاغوت فقاتلوا أولياء الشيطان إن كيد الشيطان كان ضعيفاً ﴾
“Those who believe fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the Cause of Taghoot (false deities, ways, etc.). So fight the allies of Satan. Indeed the plot of Satan is indeed feeble.” (Al-Nisaa: 76)
Zardari and his army are the allies of Satan. This refutes those who rebuke, asking, “How can the Mujahidoon fight the Pakistan army?” claiming it to be a Muslim army.
What adds to this fact is that it is the Pakistan army who came to the tribal areas to fight them, aiding the cause of America and fulfilling their demands. It is not unknown that if a Muslim sides with the infidels and aids them against the Muslins, his faith is nullified and he becomes an apostate infidel. Just like there are things which nullify the ablution, there are things which nullify Faith, this being one of them. What clarifies this fact is the saying of Allah ()
﴿ يا أيها الذين امنوا لا تتخذوا اليهود والنصارى أولياء بعضهم أولياء بعض ومن يتولهم منكم فإنه منهم﴾
“O you who believe, Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies to each other. Whoever takes them as allies, he becomes one of them…” (Al-Ma’idah: 5)

This is the Islamic ruling. ”Whoever takes them as allies, he becomes one of them.” In another words, he had become an infidel like then. Who are the ones who have sided with Christian America and support it? Is it not Zardari, his government, and his army? What is wrong with you that you judge in this way? Those who side with the infidels are from them, and it is obligatory to fight them, even if they pray, fast and think themselves to be Muslims.
I also remind you of the fact that the Russians also used the Afghan army to fight the Mujahidoon, and today, America is doing the same. The armies and military forces of every country of the Islamic world have become tools in the hands of the enemies of the Ummah, those inside, outside or both. Thus it is impermissible to join them. This also became very clear in the last war against Gaza, The Arab military forces participated by besieging our fellow Muslims from the side of Rafah, while armies of the other bordering nations prevented the Mujahidoon from coming to the aid of their brothers in Palestine.
The Mujahidoon before fought against the Russians and the Afghan army together, for they fell under the same ruling. The scholars of Pakistan and other countries of the Islamic world gave the verdict that they must be fought, even if they prayed, fasted, and thought themselves to be Muslims, for they fought from the trenches of the infidels. Let the intelligent learn from this.

The same can be said today of the Pakistan army, for they are fighting from the same trench as America in the war against Islam. Thus, it is an obligation upon the true Muslims to fight them. Whoever claims that they are being compelled to kill Muslims, this type of compulsion is not religiously valid. Many Muslims are tricked by this claim, to the extent that Zardari’s men say that they are compelled to fight Pakistanis in the western border regions, or America will encourage India to launch a war against Pakistan.
Regretfully, some Muslims repeat this same claim without any understanding or proper thought. It is like a tyrant who threatens to kill you if you do not kill your children and brothers. Will you kill them or will you fight him? Even if we suppose that you are unable to fight him, this is a calamity that has stricken you alone. It is not permissible for you to take the life of an innocent soul in order to save your own. This is the Islamic ruling in this case. As for propagating this claim of compulsion and being tricked into believing it, it will result in allowing the apostate ruler to destroy the religion of Allah () and exchange it with that of his own desires and those who he fights for. This is in total opposition to the message of Allah and his messengers, may peace and blessings be upon them all, as well as the commandment of Allah that the whole religion be for Allah alone.
O slave of Allah, be careful that you are not from those about whom Allah said,
﴿ ومن الناس من يقول أمنا بالله فإذا أوذي في الله جعل فتنة الناس كعذاب الله ولئن جاء نصر من ربك ليقولن إنا كنا معكم أوليس الله بأعلم بما في صدور العالمين * وليعلمن الله الذين آمنوا وليعلمن المنافقين ﴾
“And there are some people who say, ‘We believe in Allah,’ but when they are harmed in the Cause of Allah, they consider the trial of people like the punishment of Allah. If some help came from Allah, they say, ‘Indeed we were with you.’ Is not Allah more knowing of what is in the chests of all that exists? Indeed Allah will make it known who it is who truly believes and who it is who are the hypocrites.” (Al-Ankaboot: 10-11)

Be careful from being pleased with Zardari and Yousuf Riza, for they are both outside the fold of the religion of Muhammad (), and fight it. It is obligatory upon you to reject all those who support them, even if it be with their speech, especially the evil scholars and the evil media, those who just yesterday gave cover to the former agent (Musharraf) for committing the great atrocity of attacking the Red Mosque, killing both its male and female students, holding spite for nothing other than the fact that they called for the establishment of Allah’s Shariah, spilling their innocent blood, this is how we reckon and Allah is the final Reckoner, over the places of bowing and prostration, all to please America who in turn praised him for this, may Allah punish him as he deserves.
Today, some evil scholars are playing the same despicable role as before, aiding the new agent (Zardari). No Muslim doubts in their disbelief and hypocrisy. They sacrifice Islam and the Mujahidoon to safeguard their own selves and wealth. The likes of these people must be physically prevented from siding with the apostates.

In summary, Asif Zardari and Ashfaq Kiyani have continued to divert the army from its first priority, which is protecting Islam, its followers and its lands, and instead use it to wage a war against Islam and those who demand its implementation. They have directed it to murder and wage war against the Pashtun and Balochi tribes. Most of the Pakistan people are against this unjust war. Zardari only did this to fulfill the demands of his bribers in the White House, not with ten percent, but many times more. Indeed this is a great betrayal of the trust, for he has betrayed the religion and the Ummah. Not only has he devastated the Pakistani economy in this war, he has done something much more dangerous. With this war, he has placed the religion, security, and unity of Pakistan in jeopardy, implementing a Zionist-American-Jewish conspiracy, making it easy for India to suppress the disunited provinces of Pakistan one by one and take control of them, as they did with East Pakistan before or even worse. With this, America will be relieved of their worry over Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, even more it will have India participate with them in their war against the Mujahidoon.
It is obligatory upon all Muslims in Pakistan to work together against Zardari and his army who threaten their religion, security, unity and economy, and to continue their struggle to remove him and hold him to account. Despite the great harm cause to Pakistan by Pervaiz, the harm which will result from Zardari’s actions is far worse. The only way to end his and his army’s trial is to wage Jihad in the Cause of Allah against them. This is explained in by the saying of Allah:
﴿ وقاتلوهم حتى لا تكون فتنة ويكون الدين كله لله ﴾

“And fight them until there is no more fitnah (kufr and shirk), and all religion (worship) becomes for Allah alone.” (Al-Anfal: 39)
You must understand that the army that has the audacity to fight to prevent the establishment of the Islamic Shariah is an apostate army which has no good in it. If it pays no importance to the matter of the Islamic Shariah, a matter which is most important to us, it will pay even less importance to lesser things, such as our blood, honor, land and wealth. None can depend upon it except the ignorant and the hypocrites. It has not recovered Kashmir, and now it is allowing Pakistan itself to fall from its hands, The only ones who will defend Pakistan are its fellow Mujahidoon, Allah willing.

Before concluding, I would like to direct some words to America, but due to time constraints, I will only summarize some issues related to the topic, delaying the rest for a future message, Allah willing.
Let those wise and just in the various research centers, study groups etc, understand what I say about the reasons so many people are eager to fight America and seek revenge, although these words may fall upon deaf ears of the agents of the conglomerates in the White House.
I say: indeed the liberated souls who carried out the attacks on 9/11 did not taste the bitterness of suppression and expulsion from their homes and lands, seeking shelter in tents, begging for food. Rather, those nineteen individuals only heard of the oppression their brothers in Palestine faced by American weapons in the hands of the Zionists. Thus, they left their schools and universities at the first opportunity they had to defend the oppressed in Palestine. What if they had tasted their calamities and woes? Obama ordering Zardari and his army to prevent the people of Swat from the implementation of the Shariah by murder, war, bombardment and devastation has led to the emigration of almost a million Muslims from the elderly, women and children from their villages and homes, now homeless, seeking shelter under tents, when they previously lived honorably in their homes.
Simply speaking, Obama and his administration have sowed new seeds of hatred for America and the desire to seek revenge. The number of seeds equals the number of afflicted and homeless in the Swat valley and the tribal regions of North and South Waziristan, in addition to the number of those who sympathize with them. With this, Obama has followed the footsteps of his predecessor in increasing the spite of the Muslims and the number of those who fight America, and creating new lengthy wars. So let the American people continue to reap the fruits of the trees planted by the leaders of the White House in the years and decades to come.
In conclusion, I recite the following motivational lines by the poet Yousuf Abu Hilalah, to encourage myself and my brothers. I dedicate it to each and every Mujahid in the Muslim Ummah, especially to the heroic Muhahidoon in Afghanistan and Pakistan, especially to the Muhajid Pashtun tribes, and especially to the Commander of the Believers, Mullah Muhammad Umar, may Allah grant him victory, for it is they who are bearing the brunt of the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in lieu of the Ummah, against the international forces of infidelity. I ask Allah () to keep them steadfast, to guide their aim, to accept their martyrs, to heal their injured, to send them His Help, to defeat their enemies, and to give them better than what they lost in this world and the next. Indeed He is the one who is Able to grant this.
I advise myself and my brothers to be wary of the punishment of Allah in private and in public, and I say to them: be patient, and vie with your enemies in patience, for indeed you are upon the truth. Either we will live under the shade of Islam, or we shall die a noble death. Be firm, may Allah have mercy on you, and prepare yourselves for a lengthy war against the forces of international infidelity and its agents, despite the difficulty of the path and the few numbers of helpers. Be careful that the Muslims are not harmed because of you, for:

You have raised the highest flag for the religion of Allah
Your motto is Tawheed and Allahu Akbar
You cross an ocean of death, without fear
Those who do not fear death do not fear anything
Your path is difficult and dangerous to follow
There are many sacrifices and obstacles in it
Your way is the way to one of the two victories
Your way is the way of victory and strengthening help
Or death in the Cause of the religion, honor and protection
Whoever dies in achieving loftiness is indeed excused.
I encourage my whole Muslim Ummah to stand by the Mujahidoon and help them all over the world, taking note that the leader of international forces of infidelity has announced that the main battlefield in the war against our nation has shifted to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Thus, the share of Zakah and support in this region must be in accordance to the size of the Christian Crusade against it.
Finally, I leave you with the words of Abu Hilalah:

I have rejected all who censure
and have digressed from the path of Guidance.
Those who have not achieved in life
except for sleep and laziness.
Those who sit in their gatherings
while the fire of war flares around them
Those who think they have reached their goal
despite them being lost in the path.
I honor those who have passed,
those who did not ask about the difficulties.
Those who did not turn back from their destination,
despite the turbulence of the path.
Those whose blood gave light
to the darkness of confusion.
O colt who gallops well,
who does not feel fatigue
The boat of honor which sails on
despite the severe waves.
The sword like the light of lightning
which shines when drawn from its sheath
The storm which stirs
wreaking havoc across the land.
You remained a Muhajid with those
who examples are honored to be with
The children of Afghan do not swerve
if fighting starts or if they are unarmed
They grew up in remorse and grief
and grew elderly on its burning fire
Their clothes were grief
never taking them off
There is their land
marked with the sparks of galloping horses
And underneath the thunder of bombardment
they are set afire
There are the skulls of children
being pulverized while they call out
The defiant are not humiliated with them
Nor do they ever fail
The head of the masses remain high
continuing to spend efforts
There are some who say to them
Your Jihad is not correct
Refuge is sought in Allah, this is a lie
in which none cam doubt
O you who have stayed behind from my Ummah, slowly
You do not see things properly,
The only reason you say this
is because your motivation is paralyzed.
O you whose intellect has deviated
from the teachings of the Messengers
Those whose judgments have deviated
from the fear of Allah, and they have not acted justly
The fires of Shirk are not put out
except the spilling of blood

And the last of our prayers is that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.

Thabaat and Ribaat forums are dead

2009-06-04T03:11:00.000-07:00

Thabaat hosted part of the web presence of Joey Cohen alias Youssef al-Khattab, a New York cab driver and narcissistic punk who busies himself applauding Sunni Islamist terrorism in English, and Samir Z. Khan, a similar punk, also in the USA. But Thabaat also had a sinister Dutch-language component that was in communication with the Islamic Jihad Union and other Pakistan-based Saudi-funded components of al-Qa'ida.

The venerable Francophone al-Qa'ida site Ribaat alias Mourabitoune now goes to the "World of Islam" link collection, whose elements include some serious sites plus some very crude and dishonest ones like Jihad Unspun and Islam Memo.

Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula

2009-04-19T00:00:00.000-07:00

The following text statement is being distributed by AQ's sympathizers in the UK and elsewhere:

(( افتراء الكذب من وزارة الداخلية ))
اعتادت وزارة الداخلية الكذب والافتراء وأدمنت عليه وجعلته وسيلة لتبرير فشلها وشماعة لإخفاقها ، فهي كل يوم تعلن أنها قبضت على فلان أو سلم نفسه فلان لإشاعة الأراجيف والتخذيل بين الناس بحثا عن انتصارات موهومة .
وفي حقيقة الأمر أنها لم تستطع الوصول لأحد من المجاهدين المطلوبين فعمدت إلى الكذب والتلفيق لتضمن ما يمن به عليها المانحون والداعمون من الكفار الأصليين أو عملائهم المرتدين من حكام آل سعود وغيرهم .
طمعا منها في استمرار الدعم كلما ازدادت في الادعاء الكاذب أنها قد نجحت في القبض على أحد المجاهدين أو مطاردته .
ومن مقاصد وزارة الداخلية تثبيط الناس عن الجهاد والمجاهدين بادعائها أنها متيقظة وقادرة على ملاحقة المجاهدين وقد خبرناها خلال السنوات الماضية بهذا الأسلوب الكاذب الفاشل ومما زاد الطين بلة مسارعة أبواقها من الفضائيات إلى نشر تلك الأكاذيب والأراجيف حتى صار لا يدرى من افترى الكذب أولا أهي وزارة الداخلية أم أبواقها الفضائية والتي أضحت تعلن الخبر قبل أن تعلم وزارة الداخلية عن تلك الكذبة والتي يبدوا أن مصدرها إنما هو أوهام الفضائية أو اختلاقها الكذب لعلمنا المسبق حربها للدين وحقدها على الجهاد والمجاهدين .
وعليه فما تداولته وسائل الإعلام مؤخرا من إلقاء القبض على عشرة مجاهدين من خلية قاسم الريمي في شبوة ما هو إلا محض افتراء وكذب .
وحقيقة ما حصل هو الهجوم على بعض قبائل شبوة بالطائرات والدبابات ومن ثم إلقاء القبض على ستة من أبناء القبائل المعتدى عليها بحثا عن انتصارات موهومة .
ونبشركم أن من زعمتم القبض عليهم أنهم قادمون إليكم بإذن الله يحملون الموت وهم من سيقبض أرواحكم فخذوا حذركم فقد انضم إلى كتيبة الأهوال عشرات الاستشهاديين وهم الشجعان حقا أتوكم بما لا تحتسبون ولا قبل لكم به فالحقيقة ما ترون لا ما تفترون.

تنظيم قاعدة الجهاد في جزيرة العرب

ربيع الثاني 1430هـ

It is a contradiction of a recent claim by Riyadh about the arrest of some AQ members in Saudi Arabia.

And recently Abu Sufyan put out an audio full of dire emprecations against Saudi Arabia.

The press talked mostly about Abu Sufyan's endorsement of the purely mercenary Somali pirates, which I agree was pretty suprising.

This guy and his tiny group of allies are surely in Yemen.

Manchester and Liverpool

2009-04-12T04:00:00.000-07:00

About the Easter week roundup in Manchester and Liverpool, Ghost in the terror machine at the Times Online is worth a look. The title refers to the British al-Qa'ida member Rashid Rauf, who was head of al-Qa'ida operations against Europe at least until a CIA drone strike in November of 2008, which might or might not have killed him. Rauf was last been seen in December 2007 when walked out of Pakistani custody, undoubtedly with inside help. He was being held there at the request of the UK.

The Belgian cell mentioned by the Times, busted in December 2008, was this one:
Six al Qaeda suspects charged in Belgium
It included Malika al-Aroud alias Umm Ubeidah, the narcissistic and bombastic widow of one of the assassins of Ahmed Shah Massoud. According to a francophone al-Qa'ida member whom I was listening in on at the time, it was Umm Ubeidah's big mouth that caused the plot against Belgium to fail. The Times mentions that one of the six suspects in Belgium has been talking. Whether that person is Umm Ubeidah I don't know and would not say if I did know. He speaks of four target countries, of which the remaining two are France and Holland.

www.alwasatiyyah.com

Anwar al-Awlaki of Yemen and the USA is a longtime proponent of Islamist terrorist aggression throughout the world. In particular, he lionizes the early AQAP chief Yusuf al-Ayyeri and he endorses what he calls "martyrdom operations". Al-Awlaki's followers are mostly immature and uneducated anglophones recruited from the gutter, many of them converts, plus a few immigrant Pakistanis and self-pitying Palestinians, but few of his fellow Arabians. He endorses al-Qa'ida but in general al-Qa'ida does not return the favour. Al-Awlaki's internet presence relies on help from others, in particular some of the Tibyan people in the UK.

Kavkaz endorsing al-Awlaki and vice versa

2009-03-05T19:07:00.000-08:00

Everything that Anwar al-Awlaki writes on his blog gets copied immediately (and without a word of criticism) to numerous other websites operated by his Anglophone cult followers. But lately a different sort of element has joined into this practice: the English-language section of Kavkaz Center. Kavkaz is part of the web presence of the network that calls itself the Causasus Emirate. Today al-Awlaki made the unusual move of copying and pasting some of Kavkaz's English stuff to his own blog.

Kavkaz original
al-Awlaki's copy

The piece is a scripted "interview" of the CE member Supyan Abdullayev, translated from Russian into English by Kavkaz I'm pretty sure.

Evidently one of Abdullayev's aims is to discredit Hamas and paint his own group as the real champions of the Gazans. I am a little surprised that al-Awlaki would include this anti-Hamas material on his own blog.

Abdullayev also talks about the main recurring theme in CE's English-language propaganda: their rivalry with other Islamists who have ambitions against Russia.

Al-Awlaki's stuff is not yet being ported to the Russian and Arabic sides of Kavkaz.

Appendix 7 March 2009: I very much doubt that al-Awlaki has any serious following among Umarov's people in Daghestan or any other part of Russia. None of those people has ever mentioned him, to my knowledge. But his appearances on Kavkaz indicate that the English Kavkaz webmaster is one of al-Awlaki's fans in the UK. That person seems to have no languages other than English. Al-Awlaki definitely has the services of another British Muslim propaganda and incitement group, who go by Tibyan Publications, one or more of whom is probably also doing the English Kavkaz stuff. The English Kavkaz condemns their Russian rival Ahmed Zakayev rather often, as it would if the Kavkaz web person were in the same country as Zakayev, i.e. the UK.

The more serious (but equally dishonest) side of Kavkaz is written in Russian and uploaded by Chechen fugitives elsewhere, particularly Istanbul. Somebody in that group closely follows the Turkish press. Much of the Russian material gets translated into Turkish.

Maqdisi sides with al-Siba'i; al-Massari backs down

2009-03-04T17:58:00.000-08:00

Top al-Qa'ida cleric Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi has written a little on his Minbar at-Tawheed wal-Jihad website about the recent squabble in Londonistan. Maqdisi speaks of the al-Qa'ida program going ahead "with Massari or without Massari", and says it is not restricted to KSA, in contrast with the program of Massari (who is a Saudi). I'm not sure that this means much. Anyway, below is a copy of a bulk email sent out yesterday by Massari's little group to all their supporters. He wants to bury the hatchet but takes the opportunity to crow that the publicity over the dispute has attracted a lot of new members to his forum.

هذا رسالة من محرره، د/أحمد حسن، مدير عام شبكة مداد السيوف إليكم،

لقد سائنا كثيراً ما قالت قناة العبرية عن الأخ عصام البرقاوي ونحن نعلم جيداً أنهم ليسوا بإخوان لنا ولا للبرقاوي ولا لغيره ولذلك قررنا القرارات الآتية؛

1- تقرر إغلاق أي موضوع يخص الخلاف بين الأخوة الكرام في منتدى مداد السيوف والأخ عصام البرقاوي أو الأخ هاني السباعي ونزع التثبيت عن المواضيع المثبتة.
2- تقرر الإبقاء سلسلة التي كتبها فضيلة الشيخ المجاهد صالح إلهامي لما لمسناه من مصداقية ومهارة وحرص يستحق معها الشيخ حفظه الله كل تقدير وإجلال.
3- تقرر لفت نظر أي عضو يخالف هذه التعليمات وإغلاق موضوعه فإن تكرر فالإيقاف لمدة أسبوع كحد أقصى.

وفي نفس الوقت فإننا نهيب بحضراتكم الإنتباه إلى أن هذه الإجراءات إنما هي لإغلاق الباب على من يتجرأ من عملاء الأنظمة وشيوخ الإقامات والفقهاء على مذهب إليزابيث رئيسة كنيسة إنجلترا والمنحرفين من مشايخ التسول علماء القرامطة.

كما تقرر فتح الباب للنقاش بشرط إلتزام الأدب والموضوعية حول المذاهب والفرق ومن ذلك فكر الشيخ محمد عبد الوهاب شيخ النجديين والفرق الأخرى كالشيعة الإثنى عشرية وغيرها من الملل والنحل،
ولذلك جاري التنظيم وسوف يتم إفتتاح منتديات أخرى في غضون الأسابيع القليلة القادمة يكون فيها النقاش مفتوحاً مع ذوي هذه الفرق لمن عنده من العلم ما يتطيع أن يذب عن فكره بدون إسفاف أو تطاول على الأشخاص وستكون المنتديات بعناوين نقاش مع الشيعة، نقاش مع الوهابية، نقاش مع السلفية، نقاش مع الجامية .. إلى آخره أو حسبما يتفق الأعضاء في مجلس شورى الشبكة.
وسنضع شروطاً للنقاش إن شاء الله تضمن الجدية وعدم التطاول من قبل أي عضو.

تقرر منع الألفاظ الغير مستطابة من قبل الأعضاء كقولهم القرنشيطانية والقبورية وغيرها من الألفاظ ونرجو من جميع الأخوة التعاون معنا على هذا الأمر للرقي بالمنتدى وعفا الله عما سلف ولنبدأ صفحة جديدة معاً.

فقد لاحظت ارتفاع عدد الأعضاء بشكل مذهل في الفترة الأخيرة حتى أنه قد تضاعف عما كان قبل شهرين فقط وتضاعف الحضور وزادت نسبة الإهتمام بعدما ظهرت صفحات الموقع على قناة العبرية فلقطع الطريق على ذوي النفوس الضعيفة فسوف نمنع هذه الألفاظ إن شاء الله.

وكتبه وقرره

Hani al-Siba'i clashing with Muhammad al-Massari

2009-02-24T11:26:00.000-08:00

It's pretty harsh and a little complicated, but in the end it's only Londonistan.

On his jihadist forum Midaad as-Sayuf (Ink of Swords), the Saudi terrorist Muhammad al-Massari has lately been accusing the Egyptian terrorist Hani al-Siba'i of various lapses including backsliding, lying, and even working for the British. Both guys operate in London under official British government protection. The Saudi-owned press organ al-Arabiya mentioned the conflict, but I don't have a copy of their story. But here is al-Siba'is response to the piece, which seems to have been called Competition Between Islamists in "London Stan".

Another bone of contention between the two is how to regard the late Abu Mus'ab az-Zarqawi. Al-Siba'i never breathes one word of criticism of Zaraqawi.

That's from Siba'i's website as of two days ago. The very senior al-Qa'ida cleric Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi was the personal mentor of Zarqawi before the latter went to Iraq. The disagreement over how to remember the Zarqawi has therefore led to a dispute over the contemporary significance, and objectivitiy, of Maqdisi himself. Massari has been painting Maqdisi as a big jihadist figure of the past, but as a person whose outlook is now skewed by his own experience (in prison particularly), who sometimes acts outside his competence. Massari also questions to what extent Maqdisi can take the "credit" for Zarqawi's rampages. Meanwhile al-Siba'i claims (and I don't doubt it) that the following vague encouragement reached him recently from Maqdisi himself.

فأسأل الله تعالى أن تصلك رسالتي هذه وأنت في أحسن حال في دينك ودنياك
أخي الكريم موجب هذا الخط الذي أكتبه إليك ثلاثة أمور

أولا : جزاك الله خيرا على ما تكتب وتتكلم به من نصرة للتوحيد والجهاد وأسأله تعالى أن يثبتنا وإياك على الحق المبين وأن يحسن خواتيمنا هو مولانا نعم المولى ونعم النصير

وأذكرك أخي الحبيب وهو أمر لا يخفى على أمثالك ولكن من باب التواصي بالحق والتواصي بالصبر ؛ أن ما تساهم به من نصرة التوحيد والجهاد في هذا الزمان هو والله من أعظم الجهاد في سبيل الله ..

فأنت وأمثالك ردء إخواننا في ساحات الوغى تردون شبهات المخذلين عن جهادهم وتدحرون افتراءات المشوهين لثباتهم وما تقوم به في هذا الباب لا يقل أهمية عما يقوم به إخواننا في ساحات الوغى ..

فقوام الدين كما تعلم بكتاب يهدي وسيف ينصر ؛ لا غنى لأحدهما عن الأخر ..

وإذا كان رؤوس التجهم والإرجاء في زماننا قد ارتضوا أن يصطفوا مع إخوانهم وأولياء نعمتهم من الطواغيت فانحازوا إلى عدوتهم وأفنوا أوقاتهم وأعمارهم في الجدال عنهم والطعن في سادات المجاهدين الذين تبرؤوا منهم وخرجوا عليهم ؛ فيكفيك فخرا أن استعملك الله واختارك للاصطفاف مع إخوانك المجاهدين والانحياز إلى عدوتهم تدفع عن جهادهم وتحرض على نصرتهم وتتحمل في سبيل ذلك عداوة وكيد الطواغيت وتصبر على أذى الجهال والسفهاء ..
أخي الحبيب أوصيك أن تضع دائما نصب عينيك هذه الآية وهي قوله تعالى ( لا يَسْتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ أُوْلَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا )

فإنها تعينك على الثبات وتحمل تبعات هذا الطريق..

ثانيا : جزاك الله خيرا على دفعك عني بعض ما رماني به الجهال وقد أحزنني ما نلته بسببي من تطاول وأذى وتمنيت لو أنك لم تدخل نفسك في هذه المعمعة ؛ خصوصا بعدما رأيت سفاهة القوم وقلة أدبهم وخطابهم السوقي فأسأل الله تعالى أن يأجرك على عملك وأن يجمعنا وإياك في فردوسه الأعلى حيث لا نسمع فيها لاغية ..

ثالثا : أوصيك أخي وأوصي نفسي بالثبات على الحق المبين والتضحية بالغالي والنفيس من أجل الثبات على ذلك خصوصا وأنت تعاين خذلان الناس لهذا المنهج وتسمع وترى كل يوم المتساقطين والمتراجعين من حولنا ؛ فالله الله أخي الحبيب في هذا التوحيد والله الله في هذا الجهاد فإنه أمانة في أعناقنا وحذار من خذلان إخواننا المجاهدين في زمن الانتكاس والإنكسار وتكالب الدنيا كلها عليهم

فتلك حروب من يغب عن غمارها
ليسلم يقرع بعدها سن نادم

ثبتنا الله وإياك على الحق المبين وختم لنا ولك بالشهادة في سبيله مقبلين غير مدبرين
وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين

أخوك
أبو محمد المقدسي
منتصف صفر 1430هـ

I am told that the following is one of several emails sent by al-Massari to a mailing list of his fans or backers. Al-Massari again accuses al-Siba'i of spying for the British, and accuses him of fabricating some communications and attributing them to Muhammad Khalil al-Hukaymah = Abu Jihad al-Masri. (The punctuation is a bit garbled, since I copied it from a right-to-left document into this left-to-right blog.)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

تابعت على مدى الأيام الماضية محاولة جريئة تعد الأولى في التاريخ الإسلامي المعاصر للعودة إلى ما كان عليه إبراهيم عليه السلام لما تصدّى للقوم فقال:

بَل رَّبُّكُمْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الَّذِي فَطَرَهُنَّ وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ

ربكم ليس المقدسي الذي يفتي من على سريره بأن المجاهدين قد جرجروا الأمة إلى ويلات لا طاقة لنا بها، ولا بن باز الذي أفتى من غرفة مظلمة أظلمتها بصيرته المطموسة ولا الألباني الذي أفتى بإخراج المسلمين من فلسطين إكراماً لليهود،

إنما ربكم الله الذي فطر السماوات والأرض،
يا قوم هل تسمعون لرجل أعمل لسانه البذئ في عرض من لن يرى النور وسيبقى العمر في زنزاته كفعل هاني السباعي بالشيخ نبيل فك الله أسره؟

يا قوم هل تقبلون شهادة هذا الآثم قلبه الذي كتم الشهادة أن مواد الشيخ الحكايمة كانت أصلية وأن من كذبوكم إنهم لكاذبون؟

يا قوم هل تنصتون لقرد يخرج على شاشة العبرية المقيتة في فرح ابنه ليقولوا عنه هذا وهؤلاء هم شيوخ التوحيد؟ وإن قالوا فهل تصدقوهم؟
تالله إنكم لمغيبون!

لم يكن أبداً في حسباني أن تتسارع عجلة الأحداث بهذه السرعة الرهيبة إلى هذه الدرجة فالصراع بين الحق والباطل عُرف دائماً بأنه صراع بين الخير والشر، ولما كان النور واحد والظلمات كُثُر، قال تعالى: "ليخرجكم من الظلمات إلى النور"
فإن المداد واحد والظلمات تعددت.

إن ضربة المداد بإعلان الإنفصال عن الفكر التقليدي الوهابي المتحجر والذي يقول بعزل الإسلام ما قبل محمد بن عبد الوهاب عنه بعد محمد بن عبد الوهاب تعتبر ضربة مدروسة بكل المقاييس فلم يتوفر أبداً للمداد عقليتين فذتين كعقليتا الشيخ المحضار وأخيه ليث مكة أرضاهما الله بكرمه وإن لم يكن مصرع تراث الوهابية التقليدية على يديهما فسنظل في ظلام الجهل والخوف والإرهاب الفكري إلى أبد الآبدين.

اثناء تجوالي ببعض المواقع تكشف لي أن ضرباتكم قد وصلت إلى الهدف وأسالت الدماء النجسة من أجساد بالية عفى عليها الزمان.
لقد اقلقتم الشيطان الذي عشش في عقول القوم وباض وفقس حتى صاروا يهذون بما لا يعرفون بل بلغ حالهم أن أصبحوا ينادون بتدمير الموقع!!
ظانّين بالله ظنّ السوء وناسين أن الله هو الكافي، "أليس الله بكاف عبده"؟

لا أظن أن هناك جدوى في نقاش سفر الحوالي او سلمان العودة أو العبيكان أو المدخلي .. ولا حتى المقدسي وأمثاله .. ولا أبومريم بن طلاع المخلفي، فهؤلاء جميعاً يجتمعون على صنم واحد يعبدونه من دون الله وهو محمد بن عبد الوهاب.

كنت في أيام الدراسة أتساءل كثيراً، ... لماذا لم يقم محمد بن عبد الوهاب خلافة إسلامية مع أنه كان يملك المال والسلاح؟
بل لقد دعاه والي مصر محمد علي باشا رحمه الله لأن يكون جزءاً من الدولة العثمانية وهي الخلافة التي اجتمع عليها المسلمون فأبى واستكبر وكان من الخارجين.
فلماذا لم ينضم بإمارته إلى الدولة الأم ولا يفرق الصفوف ولا يشق عصا الطاعة وليكونن مثله مثل غيره من الإمارات إلى أن يتأتى له الإعداد والمدد فينشر دعوته في باقي بلاد المسلمين بدون دماء ولا خسائر؟
ثم لماذا لم يقاتل محمد بن عبد الوهاب الكفار الذي يلونه في اليمن وقد كانت محتلة احتلالاً بريطانياً أم أن إلهه الذي في نجد قد غاب عن اليمن أم قال لربه:
"اذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا إنا هاهنا قاعدون"؟

إن رأس الأفعى التي كثيراً ما خشاها القوم هي الدعوة التثبيطية التي جاءت باسم التوحيد وهي ذاتها دعوة بن طلاع المخلف فلا فرق بين بن طلاع ومحمد بن عبد الوهاب إلا في الزمن، أما غير ذلك فهما متناغمين متوافقين قلباً وقالباً في كل شئ.

وما فعل المقدسي بالأمة من تخذيل وتثبيط وقعود إلا مثالاً آخراً على أنه لا يمكن الجهاد أبداً لعدم اكتمال النصاب المقدسي العجيب الذي اخترعه وهو جالس في حمى ولي أمره صديق شارون إيستون.

أعد المداد عدته وجاء بخيله وخيلاءه ورماهم بسهام توحيدية خالصة بريئة من الشرك وأهله قائلاً:
وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكِيدَنَّ أَصْنَامَكُم بَعْدَ أَن تُوَلُّوا مُدْبِرِينَ

فقضى على أصناهم و "فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذاً إِلَّا كَبِيراً لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ "
وصنمهم الأكبر هو المسؤول عن كل ما جرى لهم فراغوا إلى أهلهم يتساءلون،
من فعل ذلك بآلهتنا لعلهم يهتدون،

قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ

وإبراهيم النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام مثل يتكرر في الأمم،
فإبراهيم ما فعل إلا ما فعل حفيده عليه الصلاة والسلام إذ وقف في قريش يقول لهم:
"يا معشر قريش جئتكم بالذبح"**

لم يكن لديه صلى الله عليه وسلم لا سلاح ولا منعة ولا شوكة تحميه إلاأنه هدم أصنامهم بكلامه الحكيم بأبي هو وأمي، جئتكم بالذبح.

وفي إبراهيم مثلاً احتذى به من بعد نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم الصديق رضي الله عنه يوم وقف وحده لينقذ أمة فكان رجلاً بأمة عليه رضوان الله، وقد رفض مشورة أمير المؤمنين عمر وقال والله لو منعوني عقال بعير لقاتلتهم عليه

ووقفه أحمد بن حنبل يوم الفتنة ثم وقفه سيد قطب يوم قالوا له اعتذر عن كتابك تفدي رقبتك فقال الإصبع الذي كتب التوحيد لايكتب الشرك أو كما قال.

ووقفه بن تيمية يوم دافع عن فكره فظل في السجن سنين عدداً حتى قضى ولقى ربه أسيراً

واليوم جاء يوم المداد، والأصنام التي كسرها إبراهيم ومحمد عليهما الصلاة والسلام هما نفس الأصنام التي قاتلها الصديق وهي التي رفضها أحمد وسجنت بن تيمية واليوم تريد هدم المداد فالله كافيكم يا أهل المداد، اصبروا وصابروا ورابطوا ..

ولما جيئ بالخليل عليه الصلاة والسلام ليقر بتهمته لم يجبن ولم يخف ولم ينهار، بل راح يسخر من عقولهم المنتنة،
أتصدقون أن يكون هاني السباعي مجاهداً وهو بين يدي المخابرات البريطانية يا قوم؟
أتقبلون شهادته بعد ان اعترف أنه آثم قلبه كاتم للشهادة لما كتم شهادته في مواد الحكايمة؟
تالله إنكم لضالون.

ليس المداد هو الذي أسقط المقدسي ولا المداد هو الذي أسقط السباعي ولا المداد هو الذي أسقط بن باز،

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُوا يَنطِقُونَ

About the personal makeup of Massari and al-Siba'i now, the former is a Saudi with an advanced Western education in physics, while the latter is an Egyptian former "lawyer". Their differing backgrounds are reflected in their approaches to rhetoric, and in their personal ambitions. Siba'i never disapproves of Zarqawi (as I mentioned) nor Bin Ladin nor Zawahiri nor any of the other fugitive Egyptian Islamic Jihad people. Massari is more willing to think for himself and do his own thing. It would not come naturally to Massari to kowtow to the two Jordanian jail birds Maqdisi and Zarqawi in particular.

Letter from al-Maqdisi to al-Sib'ai

2009-02-22T19:20:00.000-08:00

Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, the most senior cleric in "old al-Qa'ida", writes a rather vague note of encouragement to the most senior Egyptian terrorist in Londonistan, namely Hani al-Siba'i.

فأسأل الله تعالى أن تصلك رسالتي هذه وأنت في أحسن حال في دينك ودنياك
أخي الكريم موجب هذا الخط الذي أكتبه إليك ثلاثة أمور

أولا : جزاك الله خيرا على ما تكتب وتتكلم به من نصرة للتوحيد والجهاد وأسأله تعالى أن يثبتنا وإياك على الحق المبين وأن يحسن خواتيمنا هو مولانا نعم المولى ونعم النصير

وأذكرك أخي الحبيب وهو أمر لا يخفى على أمثالك ولكن من باب التواصي بالحق والتواصي بالصبر ؛ أن ما تساهم به من نصرة التوحيد والجهاد في هذا الزمان هو والله من أعظم الجهاد في سبيل الله ..

فأنت وأمثالك ردء إخواننا في ساحات الوغى تردون شبهات المخذلين عن جهادهم وتدحرون افتراءات المشوهين لثباتهم وما تقوم به في هذا الباب لا يقل أهمية عما يقوم به إخواننا في ساحات الوغى ..

فقوام الدين كما تعلم بكتاب يهدي وسيف ينصر ؛ لا غنى لأحدهما عن الأخر ..

وإذا كان رؤوس التجهم والإرجاء في زماننا قد ارتضوا أن يصطفوا مع إخوانهم وأولياء نعمتهم من الطواغيت فانحازوا إلى عدوتهم وأفنوا أوقاتهم وأعمارهم في الجدال عنهم والطعن في سادات المجاهدين الذين تبرؤوا منهم وخرجوا عليهم ؛ فيكفيك فخرا أن استعملك الله واختارك للاصطفاف مع إخوانك المجاهدين والانحياز إلى عدوتهم تدفع عن جهادهم وتحرض على نصرتهم وتتحمل في سبيل ذلك عداوة وكيد الطواغيت وتصبر على أذى الجهال والسفهاء ..
أخي الحبيب أوصيك أن تضع دائما نصب عينيك هذه الآية وهي قوله تعالى ( لا يَسْتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ أُوْلَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا )

فإنها تعينك على الثبات وتحمل تبعات هذا الطريق..

ثانيا : جزاك الله خيرا على دفعك عني بعض ما رماني به الجهال وقد أحزنني ما نلته بسببي من تطاول وأذى وتمنيت لو أنك لم تدخل نفسك في هذه المعمعة ؛ خصوصا بعدما رأيت سفاهة القوم وقلة أدبهم وخطابهم السوقي فأسأل الله تعالى أن يأجرك على عملك وأن يجمعنا وإياك في فردوسه الأعلى حيث لا نسمع فيها لاغية ..

ثالثا : أوصيك أخي وأوصي نفسي بالثبات على الحق المبين والتضحية بالغالي والنفيس من أجل الثبات على ذلك خصوصا وأنت تعاين خذلان الناس لهذا المنهج وتسمع وترى كل يوم المتساقطين والمتراجعين من حولنا ؛ فالله الله أخي الحبيب في هذا التوحيد والله الله في هذا الجهاد فإنه أمانة في أعناقنا وحذار من خذلان إخواننا المجاهدين في زمن الانتكاس والإنكسار وتكالب الدنيا كلها عليهم

NEFA recap on Anwar al-Awlaki

2009-02-11T03:54:00.000-08:00

Eight-page pdf here.

Supplement 18 February 2009:
Lately al-Awlaki and a few other anglophone troublemakers have been condemning Tawfique Choudury of the UK for a less-than-terrorist policy suggestion that he made in December 2008. I will copy here an excerpt from al-Awlaki's page, in which Choudury himself seems to be replying.

Tawfique's response on February 13th, 2009 at 12:49 pm #
Assalamualaikum,
InshaAllah this will be the last post on this article and we can carry on discussion at a near future when I have more time to write a detailed part 2 to clarify how our terms of engagement should be.
1. No doubt, the points that I have made are clouded by people’s interpretation of the particular words that I have used to phrase them. Based on this, people have jumped to conclusions and yet others have read through my clarifications and understood what I intended in the article - and we hope for guidance for everyone.
2. Sh Anwar’s article on my piece is largely sensationalism and picking on wordings devoid of context - except for one important point which I believe is the core argument that I will address - that of maslahah of the dawah and the maqasidus-Shariah versus core principles of our deen such as wala and bara and tawheed. This is really the main issue - because categorically in no case was I ever suggesting that we ever work for anti-terror agencies, take funding from them, take our agenda from them, let them dictate our mandate, let them tell us what deen to follow and what not to, tell us who to work with and who not to, tell us what is extremism and what is not. Never at all. If we were to do that, we would cease to be independant and would loose all credibility. And if I knew of an individual who does that, then I would distance myself from him and would never work with him much the less associate with him. It is under these and similar conditions Yusuf alaihis salam cooperated with the non-Muslim government of his time.
3. Lastly, I urge everyone including myself to be objective in their criticism and to not draw conclusions on an individual. We may disagree on the manner of engagement of the authorities but that does not mean that anyone is a sell out or anyone has left being the people we once were.
Jazakallahulkhair and I will inshaAllah ponder deeply on what everyone has written and hope to carry on discussion of these points in the future when time permits.

Abu Qatada mouthing off re Gaza

I got this from one of the British pro-terrorism forums, where it was uploaded by the EIJ fugitive Yassir al-Sirri. Abu Qatada is held in the UK, temporarily no doubt.

بيان نصرة وتأييد إلى المجاهدين والأهل في غزة الصابرة المجاهدة

الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على محمد النبي الأمين وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين أما بعد؛
فهذه كلماتي العاجزة أمررها إليكم من ضيق السجن والقيد إعذاراً إلى الله تعالى، ومحبة فيكم وفي فعالكم ومواقفكم الإيمانية العظيمة التي أحييتم بها سيرة أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم في غزوة الأحزاب، فأعدتموها اليوم جدّة ونوراً وحياة، إذ جاؤوكم من كل صوب وعلى كل الصعد، وتحالف ضدكم جمع اليهود وجمع الردة من العرب وجمع الكفر الصليبي حتى يستأصلوكم ويقضوا على دينكم وإيمانكم، فزلزلت القلوب وبلغت الحناجر، وصبوا عليكم حمم طائراتهم ودباباتهم وبوارجهم، فصبرتم صبر الجبال الرواسي، وقدمتم الشهداء والدماء الزكية الطاهرة من الأطفال والنساء والشيوخ والشباب، وكنتم أهلاً لمواقف أجدادكم وآبائكم الأقدمين من الصحابة والتابعين، فهنيئاً لكم هذا الفخر الإيماني، وهذا الشرف الرباني، وإن كان في الدنيا ما يحسده المؤمنون على إخوانهم، فإنكم والله لتحسدون على هذه المرتبة والمقام.
إخواني المجاهدين في غزة الصابرة من كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام وإخوانهم من رافعي راية الدين والإيمان، وأهلي الصابرين؛
إن غزوة الأحزاب قد تجلت بمعانيها القرآنية فيكم، فكانت غزوة قطفتم كل معانيها، وتنسمتم فخار معاليها، يبصر هذا كل من فهم كتاب الله ورأى ما رأى من هذه المعركة التي وقعت معكم وبكم، فخرجتم منها فيكم الشهداء وهي نعمة النّعم في دين الله تعالى، وازددتم صلابة وقوة وثقة بدينكم، إذ كانت معركتكم وغزوتكم جلية واضحة بين قوة الإيمان وعزته بلا حول مادي وبين قوة الكفر المادية وعدته وعتاده، فانتصرت قوة وعزة الإيمان بكم، لأنكم أهله والأحق به، فالحمد لله الذي جدد بكم معاني القرآن في وقت قلّ فيه الخير وكثرت فيه معالم الشر والضلال.
إن هذه النعمة التي عشتموها في هذه الأسابيع والأيام كانت نعمة خالصة لكم، ومن نور هذه النعمة حصل الخير العظيم لأمة الإسلام قاطبة بل للعالم أجمع بإذن الله تعالى، ولعلي في هذه الرسالة أحاول أن أجمل بعض هذه النعم عليكم وعلى أمة الإسلام وعلى العالم كله؛
أول هذه النعم وأعظمها هو سلامة الإيمان وازدياده وثباته، فإن الله تعالى يقول: (( ولا تهنوا ولا تحزنوا وأنتم الأعلون إن كنتم مؤمنين)) فالنصر هو ثبات الإيمان وخلوصه من الريب والشك والضعف، وقد رأى العالم أجمع سلامة الإيمان وثباته فيكم من خلال تلك الكلمات التي يصورها عوام غزة قبل علمائهم ومجاهديهم وهي تعبر عن قوة اليقين الذي أكرمتم به، فلقد رأينا وسمعنا كلمات تلك المرأة العظيمة وهي تجلس على أنقاض بيتها لتتحدى يهود وحكام الردة العرب وقادة الصليبيين في المشرق والمغرب أنكم لم ولن تصيبوا قوة الإيمان في قلوبنا، ورأينا أم الشهيدين في أول المعركة وهي ترفع كلمات الإيمان القرآنية أمام العالم كله، فهذه كلمات عامة الناس فكيف بكلمات علمائكم وقادتكم، فهنيئاً لكم هذا الشرف العظيم.
وإن من نعم الله عليكم هو ما أكرم الله به رجالكم وأطفالكم ونساءكم وشيوخكم من الشهادة، وهذي وإن عدها الناس مصيبة فهي عند الله عظيمة الشأن جليلة القدر، فإن الله تعالى منّ على أصحاب الحبيب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة أحد بأن قال لهم- ويتخذ منكم شهداء - ، فإن من قتل منكم شهيداً كان سيموت ولو كان في غير هذا الموطن لقوله تعالى: (( قل لو كنتم في بيوتكم لبرز الذين كتب عليهم القتل إلى مضاجعهم)) ذلك لأن الموت في ديننا((كتاباً مؤجلاً)) وها هم الناس يموتون، ولكن موتكم هو كموت إخوانكم المجاهدين في العراق وأفغانستان والصومال، هو موت الشهداء، فهذه نعمة لا يبكى عليها ولكن يسعى إليها، فاللهم ألحقنا بشهدائكم- آمين.
لقد كانت غزوة الأحزاب هذه على غزة أيها الأحبة- نعمة عظمى على أمة الإسلام، حيث أحييتم في الأمة معالم الإيمان، إذ تفجر الغضب الإيماني في قلوب المسلمين جميعاً-إلا المنافقين- نصرة لكم وغضباً على أعداء الله تعالى من اليهود والمرتدين والصليبيين، فكانت دماء الأبناء والأمهات والآباء نوراً لأهل الإيمان ليبصروا واقع هذا العالم بقسميه وفسطاطيه وعدوتيه، فتكشف الباطل عارياً من كل زيف وتزويق، فرآه المؤمنون على حقيقتهم.
لقد كانت دمائكم وجهادكم وصبركم وثباتكم معالم هداية عرف المسلمون بها وبنورها حكام الردة الذين جلسوا يرقبون وينظرون إليكم وإلى دمائكم وصرخات الأطفال والنساء دون أن تتحرك فيهم شعرة رجولة أو نبضة قلب خيِّرة، بل أنتم أكثر من يعلم وقادتكم السياسيون في حركة حماس يعلمون أن هؤلاء الحكام كانوا يتمنون هزيمتكم وفناءكم ودماركم، وقد علمت الأمة هذا حق الصدق واليقين، وبذلك دفعتم أنتم بدماءكم وشهدائكم وثباتكم ثمن هذا العلم الحق، وتلك مراتب الصديقين والشهداء والصالحين.
إن هذه الغزوة كانت سبب رحمة لأمة الإسلام إذا أعادت لحمة الإيمان بين أهلها، هذه اللحمة التي أعمل حكام الكفر والردة تقطيعها بين الشعوب المسلمة، فقد جمعت بجهادكم ودمائكم الأمة كلها في صعيد واحد، هو صعيد الإسلام فقط لأن معركتكم كانت تحت راية الإسلام والإيمان، فلم يفترق المسلمون عليكم بين عربي وعجمي ولا بين أبيض وأسود، فقد صار الكلّ بكم تحت راية الإسلام، وهذه نعمة لا يعرف قدرها إلا من علم كتاب الله وسنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم.
لقد كانت هذه الغزوة آخر حذاء في وجه بوش وعصابته، وهي ستكون بفضل الله ورحمته منعطفاً جديداً لسقوط دولة الكفر اليهودي، إذ أن إنتصاركم هو رقم كبير يضاف إلى مجموع الإنتصارات التي يحققها المجاهدون منذ وقت لتصنع الإنتصار الكبير القادم على الكفر بكل أنواعه، وهي طرقة كبيرة هزت حكام الردة إذ صار المسلمون يجمعون في قلوبهم وفي مكان واحد اليهود ومبارك وجنده وبعير الجزيرة الجاهل والمأجور الحاكم في الأردن، وهذا قد بذل أهل العلم الكثير من بيانه للناس علمياً فجاءت غزوتكم هذه المباركة لتكشفه حق الكشف بلا مواربة ولا زمزمة.
إن دولة يهود لا تقوم إلا بجيل الناس وعندما يتخلى الناس عنها ستسقط، وها هي معالم بغضها في العالم أجمع تتكاشف وتشتد وهذا مؤذن بفضل الله أن سقوطها آت لا محالة، وإذا قضى الله أمراً فلا راد لقضائه.
إن ذكر المنح الإلهية التي حصلت في غزوة الأحزاب هذه والتي صنعت بكم أيها المجاهدون من كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام، وبكل مؤمن صابر في غزة لتحتاج إلى ورقات كثيرة فالحمد لله تعالى أن أكرمكم بها.
لقد انجلت هذه المعركة ((وردّ الله الذين كفروا بغيظهم لم ينالوا خيراً)) وإن من الخير والدين أن أذكر إخواني بكلمات هي واجبة القول مني أن أقولها لقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم-الدين النصيحة- وأنتم اليوم في مقام عظيم ومرتبة تقطع دونها الأعناق، فأنتم أولى بها وأهلها، وحسن الظن بكم كبير أن تسمعوها.
إن أول ما أذكر أخواني به هو القيام بحق الله تعالى، فقد انتظر منكم المسلمون يوم أن أكرمكم الله بالتمكين في غزة أن تعلنوها إمارة إسلامية تحكم بشرع الله تعالى، وتتبرأ من الجاهلية، كل الجاهلية، ولكن إلى الآن لم يكن هذا، فها أنتم اليوم قد أكرمكم الله بالتمكين فوق التمكين، وبالنصر المبين، وقد هزمتم اليهود وأمريكا من ورائهم، وهزمتم طاغية مصر وحكام الردة أجمعين فهذه محنة لكم وامتحان آخر وضعكم الله فيه، فهلا فعلتموها يا جند الله؟! وهلا رفعتم راية الإسلام وحده فوق قطاع غزة ونبذتم كل ألوان الجاهلية؟! هذا والله إن فعلتموه فستفرحون الله تعالى وعباده المؤمنين في كل الأرض، وسيرضى عنكم الله أحباباً له، ووالله إنكم لأهل لذلك كله.
ماذا بقي من الشر والكفر لم يقاتلوكم فيه يا أهل الإيمان واليقين في غزة؟! لقد رموا لكم بكل قواهم وأدوات دمارهم، وتحالفوا عليكم قوساً واحدة فأكرمكم الله بكرامة النصر المبين الذي لا يشك فيه مؤمن، فما يمنعكم من هذه الخطوة من هذه الخطوة الإيمانية العظيمة؟! ، فأنتم لستم رجال الخوف حتى تخافون من هذا الأمر، ولستم رجال الجهل حتى يخفى عليكم هذا الغرض الإيماني الواجب، بل أنتم والله أهل الشجاعة والعلم، وهذا ما نظنكم أهله ورجاله، فأقدموا على هذه المحطة لتفرحوا كل المؤمنين في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها.
لقد كان المؤمنون في كل العالم معكم، يقتلهم القهر بسبب العجز من أن ينجدوكم وينصرونكم، فلم يملك الناس إلا الدعاء والكلمة الحق إعذاراً إلى الله، ثمّ كان الفرح بالنصر، لكنه فرح مشوب بالحزن حين يعلن القادة لهذا القطاع قبولهم ومطالبتهم بحكومة وحدة وطنية، فيا أيها القادة الرجال، ويا قادة المجاهدين الأبطال ليس هذا لهذا القطاع قبولهم ومطالبتهم بحكومة وحدة وطنية، فيا أيها القادة الرجال، ويا قادة المجاهدين الأبطال ليس هذا ما يؤمله المؤمنون منكم، وليس هذا هو الطريق لحمد الله على نعمة النصر، بل الطريق الإيماني هو ما تعلمونه من كتاب الله وسنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فإن من حق المؤمنين عليكم في غزة المجاهدة، ومن حق الشهداء عليكم، ومن حق كل المسلمين في العالم عليكم هو إعلان غزة دولة إسلامية وإمارة لجند الله تعالى دون غيرهم من الناس والكفر بكل الجاهلية ونظمها وأحزابها ورجالها.
لقد تعودنا بثبات رجالنا وصمودهم وانتصارهم ولكن لم تكن المواقف السياسية على قدر هذا كله، والمأهول اليوم أن يسبق القادة السياسيون رجال الميدان لأنهم أبصر الناس بطبيعة المعركة وقد رأوا وفهموا مكر حكام الردة بهم، ولذلك فإني أسألهم بالله تعالى أن يكونوا أوفياء لدماء الشهداء الذين جاهدوا في سبيل الله تعالى، وسبيل الله تعالى الذي أرادوه هو الحكم بما أنزل الله تعالى، حتى يتم النصر النهائي ويغتاظ الكافرون والمرتدون ويكشف كفرهم أكثر وأكثر ويفرح المؤمنون بنصر الله تعالى.
ختاماً:- هنيئاً للمجاهدين هذا النصر، وهنيئاً لأهل غزة وقطاعها كله هذا الثبات والصبر، ورحم الله الشهداء وألحقنا بهم على خير، ولعنة الله على يهود وحكام الردة والصليبيين- آمين آمين.
وقد بقي في النفس الكثير ولكن الموطن لا يحتمل أكثر من هذا وخاصة أن هذه الكلمة تخرج من رجل سجين مقيد ليس له من أمره شيء من الوقت والفعل.
والحمد لله رب العالمين
تنبيه:- ادعو أهل العلم والفكر والتأريخ إلى واجبهم وهو توثيق هذه الغزوة بأحداثها الداخلية والخارجية، وآثارها ومواقف الناس منها لتكون معلماً يصار إليه من قبل الأجيال القادمة، إذ أن المسلمين قد قصروا في هذا الباب كثيراً في عصرنا الحالي والله الموفق.

Ali Ben Haj reappears

2009-01-29T23:10:00.000-08:00

Ali Ben Haj
علي بن حاج
also referred to as Ali Belhaj and Ali Bin Haj, is #2 in the Islamic Salvation Front, a banned Algerian Islamist party. He has spent most of the last 20 years in Algerian prisons, but he got out in 2005 as part of a reconciliation program in that country. Now, like so many other totalitarian Islamists, he is exploiting Operation Cast Lead to condemn Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Fatah, along with Israel. His piece is in the form of a shari'ah fatwa or argument, full of quotations from the qur'aan, hadith, and "scholars", and about three pages long. The banner (above) which accompanied his document appears to be from the Islamic Rights Observatory, i.e. Yassir al-Sirri. Al-Sirri is wanted for murder in Egypt and has been harbored by the UK since the late 1990's. The document itself was uploaded to a website controlled by Mohammed al-Massari, who is also harbored by the UK.

Yemen Observer, 20 January 2009

Zaid al-Alaya’a
Training of fighters at al-Emam University denied
The Office Director of Sheik Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, Rector of al-Eman University denied allegations made by some Yemeni websites that there is an open camp to train Jihadi fighters at the University.

“The University is an educational institution which practices only its educational activities, and operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education. With regard to the allegations concerning voluntary camps for Jihadis, this is not our responsibility, it is the responsibility of the governments of all Arab and Islamic countries to do their duty according to the Islamic Law to defend the oppressed people in Gaza”, said Dr.Ismeal al-Sohaily- Office Director of the Rector of al-Emam University.

Al-Sohaily hailed the calls from President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who called for the opening of training camps for youth to be trained to fight the Israeli’s in Gaza. “We call on them to do their duty. We hail the position of the President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who called for the opening of camps for fighters, and we also hail the position of Libyan President Muammar al-Gaddafi, who has called for the same”, said Dr.Ismeal al-Sohaily.

Some websites in Yemen have reported the existence of training camps at al-Emam University to prepare volunteer fighters for combat in Gaza, and claimed that these camps are supported by Iran and Qatar. President Saleh has called this week for an Islamic Summit to deal with the ongoing crisis in Gaza, and to stop the Israeli atrocities and end the unjustified siege against Palestinians in Gaza. He has also called for increasing pressure on Israel to abide by international law.

This 19-minute video can be seen here. It comes from the same people
مؤسسة الملاحم الإنتاج الإعلامي
Epics Media Production Foundation
who put out the magazine called
صدى الملاحم
Echo of the Epics. The recent issue (#7) of the magazine is 44 pages long and contains some routine propaganda (about the shoe-throwing incident in Baghdad for example) plus some more interesting material.

About the video now, four characters appear together and they all speak. From left to right, they are identified as

Qasim al-Rimi (Abu Hureira)

Sa'id al-Shihri (Abu Sufyan)
Saudi, called the deputy emir of this group.
Guantanamo Bay prisoner #372.

Nasr al-Wahishi (Abu Basir)
Emir of this group, probably Yemeni.

Muhammad al-'Oufi (Abu Harith)
identified as the former Guantanamo detainee #333, which he isn't.
Saudi, probably a relative of Saleh al-'Oufi, late leader of Al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

{Update from CBS/AP}

Al-Oufi was one of two former Saudi detainees at Guantanamo, the U.S. military prison in Cuba, who resurfaced last week in video clips as al Qaeda fighters in Yemen. Their identities were confirmed in recent days by a U.S. counterterror official. Al-Oufi was detainee number 333 at Guantanamo.

They claim to be the leadership of a reconstituted AQAP with the more modern form of the name, using "qa'idat-al-jihad" or "base of jihad" instead of the original name "al-qa'ida" or "the base".

Usama Bin Ladin mouthing off re Gaza

2009-01-13T22:46:00.000-08:00

A 22-minute audio with a basically static background, which bulks it up to 56 megabytes in compressed form. It is ostensibly a "call for jihad against the aggression in Gaza", but its real purpose is clearly to incite the rabble against other countries including the UK, France, Egypt, and of course all Jews and Americans. Bin Ladin offers no explanation of how his supporters are supposed to enter the Gaza Strip.

The script sounds like Bin Ladin's own material, rather than that of Gadahn or one of the Egyptians.

CBS CNN (video) MSNBC ABC Fox

The following is a nearly complete English translation, by an unidentified translator, for which at least one AQ media agent (a francophone) is vouching.

All praise be to Allah. We thank Him, we seek His guidance and forgiveness. We seek His refuge from the evils of our souls, and the evil results of our deeds.

Whosoever Allah guides, there is none to lead him astray, and whosoever is led astray by Allah, there is none to guide him.

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.

To proceed:

My dear Muslim Ummah (nation)

I am not the one who stands in front of you in these difficult days under the guise of condemnation and denunciation to react toward what is happening to our people in Gaza, but I stand before you to say a word of truth which helps us to get back what was extorted of the truth.

Word of truth which doesn't wheedle neither king nor Prince, neither savant nor minister.

Word which doesn't recognize the false international legitimacy and fear not the United Nations Security Council which spread fright among the oppressed people in the small and weak countries like Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kashmir and Chechnya.

Word of truth which the whole world stood against in order to erase it from our method and life then erase us.

It is the sacred Jihad (fighting for the sake of Allah) to get back Bayt al-Maqdis and al-Quds (Jerusalem)

Poetry:

O captive Quds suffering its violation
And Muslims still sleeping far from Jihad

O my Muslim Ummah

The great point of imbalance in the previous efforts to free Palestine is that, those who assumed its cause were governors who betrayed their trust. In the war of 1948, the Muslims were surprised how we were defeated, but the surprise was to be victorious in that war, how can we be victorious while our kings entrusted the matter of war to the real governor of Jordan at that time, the British General Glub Basha. How can a nation be victorious while the leader of its armies is its enemy? At that time every one of our kings had a Basha like this one to guide him, for example: in Peninsula he was the non-enthroned king, the British General Philip, and it was enough for deceiving people to be named by the governor as Haj Abd-Allah Philip.

Him who looked into the British ********s related to this matter knows the degree of heedlessness reigning at that time among people, and now these deceptions still continuing with a change of faces and names. In each capital today there is "Bremer" (ex U.S. Civil Administrator of Iraq) overtly or secretly, and there is with him "Allawi" (former Iraqi Prime Minister ) at his disposal to execute his orders, and in each country there is "Sistani" (Iranian Shi'a cleric in Iraq) and "Tantawi" (Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar University in Egypt) supported by groups of official and unofficial Savants, and groups of writers, intellectuals, journalists and reporters who give false legitimacy to the agents of the crusaders in our countries. All these groups are enemies of our Ummah (nation) and we must beware of them, they are known in majority because the most important of their characteristics is that the governor enables them of the mass media to address people and deceive them regularly, while he prevents the truthful from a Friday sermon in outlying village.

Other points of imbalance we face nowadays are many ways that are raising slogans to free Palestine, most of them are in favor of mislaying the cause. One of the vastest way is what the governments are doing concerning the Ministerial Sessions and transference of the cause to the United Nations and Security Council, this is a way of disclaiming the responsibility and mislaying of the Palestinian cause.

Some of these ways also, is what some savants are doing about asking the governors to come to aid of Palestine, this is another way of disclaiming the responsibility and mislaying the Aqsa mosque and the martyrs' bloods. How can we ask help from the agents of our enemies, aren't those people tired of supplicating during these long decades?

Poetry:

Him who seeks the help from Amer in his distress
Is like him who seeks help of fire from scorching heat

There is another way taken by the Islamic groups and which is the permission of the governors to do Jihad, or asking them (governors) to be at the level of their peoples' requests, and this is also another way of disclaiming the responsibility, which results in foisting heads into sands and deceiving the followers of these groups, and it is also mislaying of the cause. Those (leaders of the Islamic groups) must speak out frankly to their brothers and inform them that the responsibility is very heavy and they are not ready to assume it. Both international and regional Kufr (disbelief) are the same in attacking violently every one working and saying the word of truth in favor of this cause.

The duty is to instigate the youths to do Jihad and to arrange them in battalions to fight for the sake of Allah the Zionist-Crusader alliance and its agents in the region, not to make them feel satisfied by protesting in streets without arms.
These leaders of the Islamic groups must let the courageous and capable persons from their brothers to lead the group in these difficult conditions in order to do the legitimate duty.

Poetry:

Him among you who is not convinced that the fight is a duty
Must give the way for other and not stray the one who is convinced

With all these numerous deviated ways, there is one right way to get back al-Aqsa mosque and Palestine, it is the Jihad for the sake of Allah as we mentioned before. Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala shows us how to stop the aggression of the infidels in the Holy Quran when He said: [Then fight (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) in the Cause of Allâh, you are not tasked (held responsible) except for yourself, and incite the believers (to fight along with you), it may be that Allâh will restrain the evil might of the disbelievers. And Allâh is Stronger in Might and Stronger in punishing.] (4:84). So, by inciting people and fighting the enemy, so that the aggression of the infidels stops.

As I say to my Ummah:

Being ******* with laying the responsibility on the governors and savants, doesn't exempt you (O my Ummah) from responsibility, but it is also another way of disclaiming the responsibility. For the order of Allah in the Holy Quran is very clear whereas the Jihad for the sake of Allah with soul and money is a duty until the achievement of the goal..

O my Muslim Ummah:

You are able to defeat the Zionist entity by your popular potentialities and huge energies without any support of the governors, even the majority stand with the Zionist-Crusader alliance in the same trench. Here , I would like to assure you my Ummah, I am sure that this matter is easy for you Allah willing if we took it seriously by trusting in Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala, executing his orders and abandoning the deviated way.

Here I am giving you two evidences proving that you are able to defeat our enemies by small capacities:

* First evidence is the great defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan by the grace of Allah then by your popular efforts without any intervention of any army of your governments, even if the general winds were behind the Mujahideen's ship at that war. Since that the flag of the Soviet Union was removed from the world and thrown in the forgetting basket, praise and gratitude are due to Allah.

* As for the second evidence: after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the American system seized the opportunity of being alone without adversary and went into impose its hegemony and policy upon the world, so the governors of our region became more surrendering which made America more tyrant and more supporting the Zionist entity to destroy the crops and the cattle in Palestine.

Then a group of your sons (O my Ummah) declared the Jihad against this only magnate, Hitler of the era, the rhinoceros to which we broke the horn, destroyed its fort and demolished its tower (9/11 events). That made its president angry and claimed that he would reach the Mujahideen's leaders dead or alive to regain the prestige of America and to make them as a lesson for others, he was like Abu Jahel in Bader battle and went out strutting by his great number of accouterments. Thus we destroyed them, killed his soldiers and dispersed his companions, by the grace of Allah.

Hence, when the battle became fierce and the enemy attacked us, the response was the sharp swords to drive away the oppression .

Here is America being shaky under the hits of the Mujahideen which made it suffering from human political and financial losses and now it is drowning in the economic crisis till the point of asking for alms from both small and grand countries. Therefore, this made it without respect in front of its friends and it could no longer dread its enemies.

Here we need a stance of pondering, you know well that the first loser due to the recession of the American oppression is the Zionist entity, because it will lose one of the most important components of its subsistence and life's arteries. This terrible and fast recession of the American power is one of the most important causes which pushed the Israelis to carry out this savage attack on Gaza, in a despairing attempt to profit from the last days of the two periods of Bush administration, in which the Zionist entity found what couldn't be reached by others from power, money, determination and rancor to assault the Muslims and to beat all powers refusing the American ascendancy in the region.

Since the White House's forces being broken down over the Mujahideen's rock in Afghanistan and drowning in quagmires of Iraq, this is why the Israelis are in a hurry to defeat their enemies in Gaza to replace them by Mahmoud Abbas and his authority for protecting their backs. So they carried out this terrible genocide before the end of the Bush's period of rule and before more appearance of the American weakness, so that the Veto will collapse because the world started revolting against it and voices started rising high to annul it, it (Veto) is an unconcealed and flagrant call for oppression and arrogance.

O my Muslim Ummah:

This talk about weakness and recession of the American ascendancy as well as the collapse of its economy, is not a talk of hopes, but testimonies given by leaders themselves which they couldn't conceal any longer:

* Biden the US vice president says: "the crisis is more difficult than we expected, the whole American economy is exposed to collapse".

* The former chairman of American Reserve Bank (Alan Greenspan) says: "the big recession will appear as a nice promenade in comparison with the economic crisis".

* As for the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, he described the crisis saying: "the crisis is very deep and the Global Financial System was about to fall in a catastrophe". And I say: it is really inside the catastrophe by the grace of Allah because of those oppressors.

* The German Finance Minister said: "the world will never return to the previous situation prevailing before this crisis, and the United States will lose its position as a great force in the Global Financial System".

Then, I present to you reports of the American intelligence which confirm the recession of the American influence in the coming years.

O my Muslim Ummah:

Indeed the Jihad of your sons against the Zionist-Crusader alliance is one of the main causes (after the grace of Allah) in all these results which destroyed our enemies, and which appeared after the "seven years" war, and I assure you O my Ummah -regarding the graces that Allah bestowed us-, we feel that Allah granted us patience which suffices us to continue on the way of Jihad for seven years again, and seven and seven again..Allah willing. The patience is the best weapon and Taqwa (piety) is the best provision. If we got martyrdom so we achieved what we were looking for, but the flag of Jihad will never fall down until the Day of the Judgment as we were informed by the prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

But the question is: Can America continue in fighting us for coming decades?

The reports and indicators suggest otherwise, and that 75% of the American people are pleased by the departure of the president who entangled them in wars that exceeded their power, and plunged his country into economic turmoil. His successor has inherited a heavy legacy and was left between two bitter choices, like the one who swallowed a double-edged dagger which hurts him with any small movement. It is a most difficult heritage, to inherit a long guerrilla war with a patient stubborn enemy, that is funded with usury loans. For if he (enemy) withdrew from the war, it will be a military defeat, and if he continued the war he will sink in the economic crisis, how then about inheriting two wars, in which he is not able to continue, and we are on our way to open other fronts Allah Willing.

O my Ummah, with greater reason you should put your hands on the hands of your sons "the Mujahedeen" to continue Jihad against Allah's enemies and to go through exhausting them on those two fronts and the other open fronts of the war with the Zionist-Crusader alliance and its agents in the region, in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Waziristan, Islamic Maghreb and Somalia…

It is your duty to support them with souls and money full supply, for I experienced Jihad by Allah's grace and I know its financial costs, the Zakat (charity money) of one of the rich Muslim dealers can cover the expenses of Jihad in all the current open fronts with our enemies, and Jihad has a share in the Zakat as you know. Hence, the happy one is the one who could participate in the victory of his religion and could defend his prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his nation.

How similar the hardship of the Mujahedeen today, to the hardship the Muslims passed by in al-Usrah (the hardship) army at the time of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), till Uthman Ben Affan came and equipped most of the army, the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said then: "Nothing of Uthman's deeds will harm him after that".

Who is willing to be Uthman of this current hardship??

I know many of the Muslim dealers who can pay for the sake of Allah without meanness, but they are afraid of America and its agents in the region, and I say to them 'this is not an excuse, you are in a test in this dunya (worldly life), and remember what Allah says : [do you fear them? But Allah is most deserving that you should fear Him, if you are believers].(9:13).

There must be migration and endurance for the costs of the victory and implementation of the religion, the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who is the best of the mankind was obligated to hide in a laurel and to leave his people, his family and homeland, to migrate from Mecca, the best place on earth.

Hurry up, seize the precious opportunity, and take the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as your good example when he hid in the laurel. Can't anyone of you hide in a house in some place!? Isn't it too vast the earth of Allah, to hide in to do the financial Jihad worship?!

Allah Soubhanahu Wa Taala says: [O My servants who believe! surely My earth is vast, therefore Me alone should you serve] (29:56), and says: [Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort. Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort] (4:97-98).

O my Muslim Ummah:

These wars, calamities and ordeals involve in them grants, and wise people are not to leave these grants to pass without benefiting from them, you have great opportunity to push away injustice and tyranny which is practiced upon you from in and outside since many decades, and snatch forcibly your rights. Him who tells you (O my Ummah) that the way to take back rights is the ballot boxes (giving you as example the Western peoples), those are deceiving you and lying to you! They say this out of either fear or greed of the rulers, because the Western people -whom they are giving as an example- got back their rights with rebellions and armed force.

After seven years of war between Britain and France for the acquisition of America, both of them suffered a huge economic crisis, which prompted the leaders to impose taxes on people, and this –with what preceded it of injustice and tyranny of the kings- was the incentive of the French Revolution.
For the King Louis XIV used to say: " I am the State and the State is but me", and this is what our leaders and kings are saying today, then the French people took the grants from among these ordeals and rebelled against the unjust kings who sucked their bloods and riches, and they dethroned Louis XIV, guillotined him and took their rights with the army force.

There is no place for the ballot boxes in our countries under the ruling of tyrants. And it is regrettable and should be noted that many of the great scholars and preachers market for this big trick!

And from that economic crisis, the Americans too rebelled against Britain to get back their rights, they didn’t follow the trick of democracy which they are deceiving us with today in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. However they took back their rights with army and force. Learn a lesson from it O you who have insight.

We as Muslims believe that it is the nation's right to elect its president and we believe in Shoura, however we believe that the Western democracy –beside being a big trick- it is an illegitimate heresy from the Islamic point of view, and Muslims do not agree to be ruled but with Allah's rulings not man-made laws.
In our religion, fighting for the sake of Allah against the invaders and the apostate rulers is for Allah's word to be the highest, till things are back to normalcy and till rights are back to their owners.

At the end I say to our people in Palestine:

May Allah make great your reward for what you endured..
May Allah accept your dead among martyrs..
May Allah cure your wounded sooner..
And I ask Him the Great and Almighty to comfort the families of the victims and to reward them the best.

O my brothers in Palestine, you suffered so much as your fathers did nine decades ago, and the Muslims are sympathizing with you for what they see and hear, and we "the Mujahideen" are also sympathizing with you more because they (Mujahideen) are living the same situation as yours, and their feeling toward you is bigger because of what you are suffering from. They live under bombardment like you by the same aircrafts, and they are losing their sons like you, praise be to Allah, and truly to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.

In this year Allah wills that the lineaments of the daybreak and the omens of relief appear, by the recession of the Zionist-Crusader expansion, for the relief is imminent and we are with you and we will never let you down, your fate is related to ours in fighting the Zionist-Crusader alliance, so either we fight until victory is achieved or we get martyrdom for the sake of Allah.

Endure and be more patient, and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allah, so that you may be successful.

At last we say All praise be to Allah. Peace and Blessing be upon our prophet, and upon his family and companions.

Some mention of Bev Giesbrecht of Jihad Unspun

2009-01-10T04:51:00.000-08:00

Bev Giesbrecht is the real name of "Khadija Abdul Qahaar". For what little it's worth, the front page of her commercial propaganda site has been prepended with the following text.

Khadija Abdul Qahar is a devoted Muslim who created jihadunspun.
Since 2003 she has operated a totally independent outlet for news about the Middle East.
With almost no resources, this remarkable person raised the bar for courageous reporting.
She understood that her integrity would be attacked by both sides, which is what happened.
But above all, Khadija appreciated the kind support she received from Muslims world-wide.
Pray to Allah that she will soon continue her efforts providing a vital service.

20081111 Khadija was taken on her way to Miranshah in North Waziristan, Pakistan
20090108 Taliban kidnappers demand release of their colleagues from Bagram jail in Afghanistan

To contact this site: info.on.khadija@gmail.com

I have no corroboration that Giesbrecht is in the hands of the Taliban or that the kidnappers are setting conditions about Bagram, or any other specific conditions. Background:
Bev Giesbrecht of Jihad Unspun reported kidnapped in Pakistan

Update: The preface now reads

Khadija Abdul Qahar is a devoted Muslim who created jihadunspun.
Since 2002 she has operated a totally independent outlet for news about the Middle East.
With almost no resources, this remarkable woman raised the bar for courageous reporting.
She knew that her integrity would be attacked by both sides.
But Khadija appreciates the kind support from her fellow Muslims world-wide.
Her primary goal is independent journalism that provides an alternate voice to Western media.
She was aware of the risks involved in her latest journey, but had faith in those who were supposed to protect her.
This site will announce future events as they occur.
Pray to Allah that she will be allowed to continue her efforts.

20081111 Khadija and her two assistants were taken on route to Miranshah in North Waziristan, Pakistan
20090108 Taliban kidnappers demand ransom, and release of their colleagues from Bagram jail in Afghanistan

Update 18 January:

20081111 Khadija and her two assistants were taken on route to Miranshah in North Waziristan, Pakistan
20081217 It has been revealed that Khadija is alive (no word on her assistants)
20090108 Taliban kidnapper calling himself Suliman demands ransom, and release of colleagues from Bagram jail in Afghanistan
20090116 It has been revealed that Khadija is still alive but in failing health with two cracked ribs

I know who is writing those statements. I see no reason to believe them. I suspect that the kidnappers are just independent local criminals, because I have heard no mention of Giesbrecht from her beloved Taliban.

At the time of Giesbrecht's disappearance, Pakistani press reported that she had entered Pakistan on a 30-day working visa, vouched for by an "independant documentary film maker" and by an employee of al-Jazeera, both in London. In her last communication she said that she had to get out of Pakistan due to the expiration of her visa, and she asked for money via PayPal or Western Union to pay for her flight out. But her alleged effort to travel from Peshawar to Miranshah began after that.

Giesbrecht is a Canadian citizen and Canada has an embassy in Islamabad and a consulate in Karachi, through which she could have arranged a flight out, to be billed later, I presume. I find it notable that al-Jazeera apparently did not answer her appeal for money.

Tibyan's "Slicing Sword" document has appeared

2009-01-09T17:36:00.000-08:00

Anwar al-Awlaki appears on page 8 of 56, as follows:

Shaykh Anwar al-Awlaki's Foreword

This book "The Slicing Sword" represents the answers given by Shaykh Abd Alluh Abd al Bari al Ahdal to questions on the topic of Hijra (migration for the sake of Allah) and al-wala and al-bara (loyalty to Allah and disavowal of the enemies of Allah.) The importance of this book lies in the fact that the situation that the Shaykh was faced with is similar to our circumstances today which gives relevance to his answers. Aden was occupied by the British in 1837 and the author died around 1854. So his time was one in which the power of the Ottoman Khilafah was waning while the Western powers were on the rise. Therefore, this was a time when there were some Muslims who were replacing their pride in being Muslims and being subjects of Muslim rule with being subjects of Western occupiers and sailing under Western flags.

The author belongs to the Ahdal family who are descendants of al Imam Hussain bin Ali and are a family steeped in Islamic scholarship. They are from the Shafi'i school and live on the Western coast of Yemen on the Red Sea. The same land as the companion of the Prophet Abu Musa al Ashari.

I have studied this book under two scholars from the family of al Ahdal and I would encourage my brother and sisters to benefit from it.

Another brand-name Sunni terrorist tries to capitalize on Cast Lead. Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi is the mock-tribal pseudonym of Mohammad Tahir al-Barqawi, a top-level al-Qa'ida cleric, best known publicly as the mentor of the butcher Abu Mus'ab az-Zarqawi. After Hamas massacred some Salafists in Gaza City in September, the Qa'ida people were all furious. But now that the Israelis are in Gaza, Maqdisi hypocritically offers them his forgiveness from inside a Jordanian jail, and invites Hamas to come into the al-Qa'ida fold.

This is from al-Qa'ida's main online library, Minbar at-Tawhed wal-Jihad, which was founded by Maqdisi.

حماس صحّحوا الأساس واخشوا الله لا تخشوا الناس

في هذه اللحظات الحرجة الصعبة على أمتنا وشعبنا المسلم في غزة لا يملك المرء إلا أن يدعو بالنصر والنجاة لإخواننا هناك ولا يتردد في الوقوف إلى جنب إخوانه والتحريض على نصرتهم والوقوف إلى جانبهم والسعي في جهاد عدوهم بكل ما يملك من إمكانات ، وإذا كان تخاذل الأنظمة وجيوشها أمر واضح مفضوح لا يحتاج إلى فضح أو توضيح ؛ فإن الشعوب المسلمة المكبلة بقيود طواغيتها لا تمنعها القيود أو تحجزها الحدود من التعبير عن نصرة إخوانهم المسلمين المكلومين .. ولولا صد طغاة الحكم وجيوشهم في مختلف بلاد المسلمين ومنعهم عن جهاد يهود لتغيرت الحسابات قطعا ، ولما استهترت دولة إخوان القردة والخنازير بالمسلمين ولما تطاولت عبثا بدمائهم ..

وإذا كنا لا نعجب من استكانة وخيانات الأنظمة التي باعت دينها وشعوبها وأرضها وعرضها كل ذلك ثمنا للحفاظ على كراسي الحكم وعروش الذلة والعمالة ولا نعجب من موت المروءة والإحساس عند جيوشها ؛ فالعجب كل العجب من قيادة حماس التي ترفع اسم الدين وتتمسح به فيما تستحيي من تحكيمه واتخاذه منهج حياة وتستحيي من أن تُنسب أو تُشبه بمن حكّموا شرائعه كالطالبان فتبرأ من ذلك وتتحرز من التعزية ببعض رموز وشيوخ الجهاد وتتبرأ إلى الدنيا كلها من ذلك ولا تستحيي في مقابل ذلك من قتل الموحدين والمجاهدين غير المتحزبين تحت رايتها المشوّهة بمبررات سمجة سخيفة، كما لا تتحرج من مدح الروافض وأحزابهم وأئمتهم ورؤوس ضلالهم بل ومن الثناء على كثير من الأنظمة العلمانية المتآمرة على الإسلام وأهله ومدح طواغيتها الذين باعوا الشرع والعرض والأرض فقمن أن يبيعوها .. وربما بان لها ذلك وعاينته واقعا ملموسا بعد فوات الأوان ..

وقد يقال أن هذا ليس وقت أمثال هذا الكلام وليس الأوان أوان مناصحة ومكاشفة أو إنكار وعتاب .. فشلال الدم لا ينفعه أو توقفه الكلمات !! فنقول بل أوان مثل هذا هو كل أوان وتركه هو مركب الخذلان وسبب رئيس من أسباب تسلط الأعداء ونزول البلاء ونزف الدماء ..

لقد تابعنا بحسرة وألم ولا زلنا نتابع مسلسل التنازلات والتناقضات والانتكاسات التي ارتكست فيها هذه الحركة ..

وتابعنا ولا زلنا نتابع تغريرها بالشباب المسلم المتعطش للقتال تحت رايات الدين وأعلام الشريعة فتغرهم بشعاراتها البراقة فيما تستعملهم في الحقيقة لأهدافها المنحرفة واستراتيجياتها المخذولة وتحرفهم عن سبيل المؤمنين وتسلك بهم سبيل المجرمين ..

وتابعنا ولا زلنا نتابع تمسك قياداتها بعلاقات الإخوة مع طواغيت الحكم الذين خانوا الله ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؛ وفي المقابل نراها تبيع أخوة الإسلام وتريق دماء الموحدين إرضاء لليهود والصليبيين وأعداء الدين، فيوم قتلت أكثر من عشرة من المجاهدين قبل أسابيع وجرحت غيرهم من النساء والولدان وسقت بدمائهم الزكية أرض غزة بدلا من أن تسقيها من دماء يهود أعلنت دون حياء أن الذين استهدفتهم هم المجموعة المسئولة عن اختطاف الصحافي البريطاني !! رغم أن هذا الصحافي قد تم أطلاق سراحه قبل أكثر من عام .. وتناغم إعلانهم هذا مع فرح يهود وإعلانهم أن الذين قتلتهم حماس هم الذين خطفوا جنديهم شاليط ..

ولذلك فنحن نقولها بصراحة وألم إننا لا نعوّل على حماس في نصر ديننا أو شعبنا ولا نعقد على شعاراتها وحماسها الآمال ما دامت مصرّة لم تتب ولم تتخل عن هذه الانحرافات ..

وإذا كنا نستثير شبابنا عموما ونحرضهم على الجهاد والقتال والدفع عن المستضعفين فإننا نعقد الآمال في ذلك على أصحاب المنهج المتميز النظيف والنهج القويم أبناء التوحيد والجهاد لا أبناء الديمقراطية والوطنية والانحرافات ، أولئك السالكين لسبيل المؤمنين المجتنبين لسبل المجرمين ؛ ومن شاء أن يدفع عن أمته وعن عرضه وأرضه من غير هؤلاء فلن نمنعه أو نخذّله أو نصده عن ذلك ؛ ولكننا ندعوه كي يكون تابعا لهؤلاء ولا نرتضيه متبوعا بحال ، كما لا نعقد عليه الآمال ما لم يستقم على التوحيد وينضبط بالمنهاج ..

إن الهجمة الشرسة التي يشنها الأعداء على غزة اليوم لن تُرد ولن تصد باستجداء طواغيت الكفر ولا بمد الجسور مع مخابراتهم ولا باسترضائهم والتقرب إليهم بالتبري من الثوابت وقتل الموحدين والمجاهدين؛ بل ذلك كله من أسباب الفشل وذهاب الريح والخذلان والانكسار واستخفاف الأعداء وتسلطهم ..

إن المطلوب من حماس اليوم ليس هو تلميع وجهها وصورتها ببعض التصريحات والشعارات التي هي من جنس مساحيق التجميل التي لا تلبث أن تزول وتذوب أمام المحكّات .. فالمسألة لم يعد يجدي معها الترقيع، فلم تعد المساحيق تنفع أمام التشوهات والانحرافات الجلية الواضحة لكل من له عينان ؛ بل هي اليوم تحتاج إلى عمليات جراحية تستأصل بها كثيرا من الأورام السرطانية التي أمست تنخر في جسدها وأسسها وأصولها .. فعليها إن كانت جادة في نصرة دين الله وذلك هو السبيل الوحيد لعزها ورفعتها.. وإننا والله لهم لناصحون مشفقون ؛ عليها أولا أن تصحح الأساس وتخشى الله ولا تخشى الناس، فتضع بداية نصب عينيها وفي استراتيجيتها نصرة دين الله وإقامة شريعته وتحقيق توحيده برد العباد إلى شرع ربهم وسبيل المؤمنين لا إلى الديمقراطية وسبل المجرمين ، وبتحكيم أحكام الله لا قوانين عباس ، وبفتح باب الجهاد لإخواننا لا بردهم وصدهم كما فعلت ويفعل طواغيت الحكم بل وقتلهم إرضاء لأعداء الأمة والدين ..

إن المعادلة التي يفهمها المجاهد الموحد في العراق وأفغانستان والشيشان والصومال وغيرها قد قصّرت حماس في استيعابها وتفهيمها لأتباعها وتطبيقها على أرض الواقع ؛ ولذلك ذهبت ريحها وانفض جمع الموحدين عنها.. فيما تتعزّز جبهات إخواننا الموحدين في كل مكان ويأتيهم المدد من الأنصار من كل حدب وصوب ..

إنها قوله تعالى : [يا أيَُها الذينَ أمنوا إِن تنصُرُوا الله يَنصُرْكُمْ ويُثَبِّتْ أقْدامَكُم] [محمد: 7]

إن نصرة الله التي تستجلب نصره وتثبيته ليست بالتبري من أحكامه والتفاخر بتحكيم القوانين الوضعية الوضيعة..

ولا بالاستنكاف عن منهج الله وتبني الديمقراطية وسلوك سبيل المجرمين استرضاء لأعداء الله..

وليست بمؤاخاة أهل الردة وتولي أهل الرفض ومعاداة وقتل أولياء الله من الموحدين والمجاهدين ..

إن شعوبنا المسلمة اليوم في غزة وفي مختلف ديار الإسلام قد ملت الغش والخداع وما عاد ينطلي عليها التدليس والتلبيس وصارت تتطلع إلى من يقودها باسم الإسلام المتميز النقي النظيف ..

وها نحن نسمع صيحات الأرامل والعجائز والثكالى لم تعد تنادي حين تستغيث إلا من تعرف فيهم العزة والتميز والنقاء والصفاء من قادة الجهاد متعدية بصيحاتها حدود الأوطان المصطنعة وضاربة بعرض الحائط الأعلام والجنسيات والتقسيمات التي أضعفتها وشتتتها متطلعة إلى أن يكون إمامها أمامها من أهل التوحيد والجهاد الحق ..
ٍٍ
وإنني أنصح حماس وقادتها وأذكرهم بأن الإسلام قادم لا محالة إسلام الرسل إسلام الأنبياء إسلام العز والجهاد والتمكين لأهل الحق والتوحيد والدين شاء من شاء وأبى من أبى .. وإننا نبصر بعين بصائرنا بل وأبصارنا جحافل النصر وبيارق العز قد انطلقت تثأر لدينها وإسلامها ونبيها وأمتها لتعيد أمجادها مقتلعة باطل كل من سيقف في وجهها من جذوره كائنا من كان .. وما لم تصحح حماس أو غيرها قواعدها وأصولها وفقا لمنهج الله فستلفظها الأمة وستستبدلها في جملة من سيستبدلهم الله شأن المتولين عن دينه ومنهجه المنحرفين عن توحيده ودينه ..

[وإنْ تتولَّوا يَستبدلْ قوماً غَيرَكُمْ ثمَّ لا يكونُوا أمثَالكُم ] [محمد: 38]

اللهم أنج المستضعفين من المؤمنين اللهم أنج إخواننا في غزة وفي فلسطين وفي العراق وفي الصومال وفي الشيشان وفي أفغانستان وفي كل مكان اللهم انصرهم على من عاداهم اللهم اشف مرضاهم وداو جرحاهم وفك أسيرهم واجبر كسيرهم وأطعم جائعهم واكس عاريهم وتقبل شهداءهم وانصرهم على القوم الظالمين اللهم منزل الكتاب ومجري السحاب وهازم الأحزاب اهزم عدوهم اللهم اكبت عدوهم واجعل تدميره في تدبيره ورد كيده في نحره اللهم عليك بعدوهم من الطواغيت وأجنادهم ومن اليهود ومن هاودهم ومن النصارى ومن ناصرهم ومن الشيوعيين ومن شايعهم اللهم لا ترفع لهم راية ولا تحقق لهم غاية واجعلهم لمن خلفهم آية اللهم شتت جمعهم وفرق شملهم اللهم أحصهم عددا واقتلهم بددا ولا تغادر منهم أحدا واجعل ما في أيديهم غنيمة للمسلمين اللهم ارفع راية التوحيد ونكس رايات التنديد اللهم ول على المسلمين خيارهم ولا تول عليهم شرارهم اللهم لا تؤاخذنا بما فعل السفهاء منا وارفع مقتك وغضبك عنا وأبرم لهذه الأمة أمر رشد يعز فيه أولياؤك ويذل فيه أعداؤك ويؤمر فيه بالمعروف وينهى فيه عن المنكر ويحكّم فيه كتابك وصل اللهم وسلم على نبيك محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين ..

Hamas under e-attack

2009-01-04T23:27:00.000-08:00

The main website of Izzuddin al-Qassam Brigades has been blown out, I don't know by whom.

Two websites of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, here and here, are blown, but will probably be back soon. PIJ is in the hire of Iran and is headquartered in Syria I believe.

The main Hamas site here is still running but it is hosted in the UAE and its newer contents are either second-hand or simply fabricated. Ee.g. today's claim that they killed eleven Israelis, and yesterday's claim that they captured two Israelis, are simply lies.

A group called Help Israel Win is distributing a Windows EXE program to help them in a distributed denial-of-service attack against unnamed Hamas-affiliated websites. The authenticity of that project is attested by the hawkish Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva here. That paper is covering the cyber-war more closely than most, e.g. here. {Update: The "Help Israel Win" website has now been shut down.} {Update: back in business. Saraya al-Quds is one of the targets.}

Hamas's Aqsa TV building was blown early in Cast Lead, but it continued to broadcast by means of a mobile satellite uplink. That channel has now been taken over by the IDF, which tells the viewers, "Time is running out."

Update 5 January: Qassam is back, and a trickle of propaganda is appearing on their modest new platform. Here they boast about their heroic resistance against the Cyberzionists:

واضحٌ أنَّ الحرْب لم تكن عسكرية على الأرض فقط بل تعدّتها إلى الحرْب الالكترونية، حربٌ إعلاميةٌ يخوضها العدو الصهيوني باستهداف موقع القسام الذي يمثّل الواجهة الإعلامية لكتائب القسام ونبضِ الشارع المجاهد والعالم الحر، فمنذ اللحظة الأولى التي بدأ فيها الجيش الصهيوني هجومه البري على قطاع غزة، تزامن مع هذا الهجوم محاولات اختراق قوية لموقع كتائب القسام والملتقى القسامي التابع له على الشبكة العنكبوتية، وقد تصدّى لها مهندسو الموقع رغم كثافتها وكثرتها حيث بلغت في مرحلتها الأولى إلى نحو (3000) هجوم مفاجئ ومباشر، وبعد يومٍ كاملٍ من المحاولات الكثيرة من الهكرز الصهاينة تمكّنوا من اختراق الموقع، وضربه بشكلٍ قوي، ويعكف مهندسو الموقع لإعادته إلى وضعه السابق، بل نعد زوار الموقع بإضافة الجديد عليه ليكون نافذة كل مجاهدٍ حرٍّ أبيّ، وبوابة الغيورين من هذه الأمة والأحرار في هذا العالم، في دعم الجهاد والمجاهدين على أرض فلسطين. وأخيراً نود أن نذكّر العدو أنّ محاولاتك السابقة في ضرب الموقع قد باءت بالفشل وكان الموقع في كل مرة يخرج بحلة جديدة أقوى من السابق.
ونحيطكم علماً أننا في موقع كتائب القسام سنواصل بث البيانات والبلاغات الجديدة عبر هذه الصفحة حتى يعود الموقع الى العمل من جديد

Lion of Jihad 2, mouthing off re Gaza

2009-01-03T14:49:00.000-08:00

"Lion of Jihad 2", who was senior in the Hesbah forum before that site was destroyed, uses the Cast Lead operation to do some incitement on behalf of al-Qa'ida. He specifically accuses KSA, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and the UAE of complicity with the Jews. He invokes the name of Bin Ladin, but he omits to mention that Hamas has already totally dismissed the instructions from al-Qa'ida that were read off by Ayman al-Zawahiri a while back. Hamas answers to Iran, not al-Qa'ida.

بعد جريمة اليهود في غزة ....

يا أهل فلسطين من هو عدوكم ومن هو صديقكم !!

بقلم// أسد الجهاد2

الحمد لله الواحد الأحد

والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه ومن والاه

" أُذِنَ للذينَ يُقاتَلونَ بِأنَّهُم ظُلِموا وإنَّ اللهَ عَلى نَصْرِهِم لقَدير "

شاهدنا بألم فظيع إجرام اليهود - لعنهم الله - في حق عباد الله الكرماء الأعزاء في غزة هاشم في هذا اليوم الموافق 27 / 12 / 2008 وتقديمهم هدية للصليبيين المنهارين المنهزمين – لعنهم الله – في عيدهم المزعوم ..

وإن هذا الإجرام يأتي بتأييد دولي وعربي كامل ، وقد تولى كِبر هذه الخيانة من الدول العربية حكومة سوريا والأردن والسعودية والإمارات ومصر التي أعلنت الحرب منها ..

إن محمود عباس وحكومته قد ( شمتوا بقتلى غزة ) وقالوا إن ما حدث هو نتيجة " منفذي الأعمال الطائشة " !! ويعنون بأن لليهود الحق فيما فعلوه وأن أهل غزة هم الملومون !!

إن لإيران المجوسية وحزب الشيطان دور في خداع أهل غزةوأهل غزة أعلم بما فعلوه بهم !!

وإنني أسجّل موقفي في هذه الحرب بأنني مع كل أهل التوحيد في غزة عموماً ، ومع مجاهدي حماس وجيش الإسلام وجيش الأمة وباقي الجماعات المجاهدة ، مؤيّداً ومناصراً لهم ..

وأدعو الجماعات المجاهدة في غزة إلى حفظ رؤوس أموالهم المجاهدة من قيادات وكوادر ، وإلى الانحياز في حالة الاجتياح اليهودي إلى حين ..

وأدعو المجاهدين إلى الانتقام من اليهود وأركّز على الرد بعد تجميع القوى وهدوء الأوضاع ، لتلقين اليهود كيف يكون عنصر المفاجأة !! ولكم في جهاد إخوانكم في تنظيم القاعدة نبراساً في الحروب ..

وإنني أرى بأن ما حدث ويحدث في غزة هاشم سيكون محوراً لتغيّر الكثير من الأمور في المنطقة وفي مصر تحديداً ..

فاعلموا يا أهلنا في غزة أنكم لم تُصابوا بمثل ما أُصبتم به إلا لأنكم قد ازددتم قوّة وإيماناً جعلت من العدو اليهودي ومن والاه من حكومات الدول العربية يصابون بالعجز واليأس من كسر إرادتكم وعزيمتكم ، فقاموا مجتمعين بمجازر عظام ضدكم وهي آخر الحلول التي بأيديهم لعنهم الله أنّا يؤفكون ، ليجعلوكم تستسلمون لإراداتهم وإذلالهم ، وأقول لأولئك الأعداء خبتم وخاب سعيكم ، بل نحن نتعلم الثبات من أهل فلسطين عامة وأهل غزة خاصة ..

فالثبات الثبات يا أهل غزة على دين الله وسنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، وهما طوق النجاة لكم في الدنيا والآخرة ..

وأوصيكم جميعاً جماعات وأفراداً بما قاله ربي سبحانه : " يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وكونوا مع الصادقين " ..

وإن هذه المحنة بدأت كبيرة وبإذن الله ستصغر ، فلا تخدعنّكم " حكومات " الدول العربية ومكرها بكم والتي ستجتمع وتتفضل عليكم بإرسال بعض " الأكفان " لكم !! ثم سيعودون ويلعنونكم ويحاربونكم ويتواطؤون في قتلكم !! فتلك الحكومات لم تكتفي بخذلانكم وحصاركم بل هي تمنع المناصرين لكم من الوصول إليكم ، ولا تغرّنكم إيران المجوسية وحزب الشيطان الذين يريدون استغلال الحدث لمشاريعهم الطائفية ، والأهم لا يغرّنكم العدو الداخلي متمثلاً في محمود عباس وحكومته ومن لف لفهم ..

وتأكدوا بأن إخوانكم وأصدقائكم هم كل الجماهير المسلمة في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها ، وعلى رأسهم المجاهدون في تنظيم القاعدة وباقي الجماعات التي تقاتل في سبيل الله ، يتألمون لآلامكم وينصرونكم بالغالي والنفيس ويتبرؤون من حكوماتهم ، وسترون منهم ما يسرّكم بإذن الله تعالى !!

وأذكّر إخواني أنصار المجاهدين أهل الشهامة والمروءات بأن ينصروا أهلنا في غزة ولا يتعلقوا بالمسميّات ، فليس الوقت وقت حسابات ، إنما وقت نصرة وتضحيات ..

وأقول لأهلنا في غزة هاشم قولة شيخنا الإمام أسامة بن لادن حفظه الله وسدده موجهاً كلامه لأهلنا في فلسطين : " والله لننصرنكم ولو حبواً على الركب .. أو نذوق ما ذاق حمزة بن عبد المطلب .. " ..

ربنا أفرغ عليهم صبراً وثبّت أقدامهم وانصرهم على القوم الكافرين ..

Umarov's group condemns and threatens Zakayev in London

2008-12-31T23:01:00.001-08:00

Below is an item from the English section of the Sunni terrorist propaganda organ called Kavkaz. The site is hosted in the UK but still controlled (as far as I know) by a career propagandist called Movladi Udugov in Istanbul. Udugov's current employer is the Arab syndicate which funds the terrorist aggression against Russia, known nowadays as the Caucasus Emirate (CE). The latest Emir of that outfit is Dokka Umarov, referred to in this piece as Abu Usman. The signatory of the piece, Shamsuddin Batukayev, is a fugitive from the defeated Wahhabi insurgency in Chechnya, in which he played the part of the "shari'ah judge". I do not know Batukayev's current location. Zakayev is currently a protégé of Boris Berezovsky in London.

Audio proves Zakayev's collaboration with Russian infidels: Wekalat

Publication time: 31 December 2008, 20:46

Results of special operational measures have confirmed that Zakayev is closely collaborating with FSB of Russia

Statement by Wekalat of the Caucasus Emirate

Mukhabarat (Intelligence Service) of the Caucasus Emirate has received operational information about ex-CRI's ex-foreign affairs minister Akhmed Zakayev's links with FSB of RF since long ago. The information about those links was received from sources among [Mukhabarat's] agents.

Despite Zakayev openly called for a rebellion against the legitimate ruler of Muslims in Caucasus and established secret contacts with the ringleader of pro-Moscow puppet regime Kadyrov, information from agents about Zakayev's links with FSB of RF needed additional confirmation.

In order to obtain facts proving Zakayev's collaboration with Russian secret services, a special operation using operational resources of Mukhabarat of the Caucasus Emirate and Wekalat (General Mission Abroad) of CE was prepared and carried out.

Carrying out special operational measures, Mukhabarat of CE has managed to offer Russian secret services a fake communication channel between the leadership of Caucasus Emirate and Wekalat of CE abroad.

That fake channel carried an audio tape of an "operational letter" from the head of Wekalat of CE Shamsuddin Batukayev to the Amir of IK Abu ‘Uthman, which was meant to make both Zakayev and FSB interested.

18 December 2008 Ahmed Zakayev published the mentioned audio tape on his personal site.
Thus, Zakayev with his own hand, de facto, confirmed the information from agents about his close ties with FSB and coordination of his traitorous activity against the Caucasus Emirate with Russian secret services.

At the same time in the territory of the Caucasus Emirate, operational and investigative measures revealed the location of an agent, who was actively financed from London through Zakayev during all this time.

Irrefutable documentary evidence of such financing (audio correspondence between the agent and Zakayev was intercepted) and preparation of an attempt upon the life of the Amir of the Caucasus Emirate Dokka Abu Usman were obtained. Witnesses were found who made proper testimonies.

Thus, all these documents, including the audio tape of Shamsuddin Batukayev's "letter", which was received by Zakayev from FSB or RF (which irrefutably proves the presence of Zakayev's operational contacts with the Russian secret services), were enclosed with the common case of participants of the anti-state rebellion.

Wekalat of CE reminds that any decision regarding this or that person who took part or continues to take part in the criminal gang consisting of ex-members of CRI government, including double agent Ahmed Zakayev, will be made by the Sharia court. Its decision will be announced officially.

The Islamic state Caucasus Emirate carries out all its actions openly, based on the Sharia, and does not need to hide its intentions regarding betrayers, their ringleaders and accomplices, insha'Allah.

A death-fatwa from al-Awlaki

2008-12-31T07:26:00.000-08:00

Dated 28 December, soon after the start of Cast Lead. Written in English. He specifically targets Egypt, and more generally all the other Arab regimes (including I presume the one in Yemen, where he is himself).

Al-Qa'ida's dogma, to which al-Awlaki always conforms, has been anti-Hamas for the last year or two. Therefore he begins by putting on a show of forgiveness toward Hamas. Al-Qa'ida has no influence whatsoever over Hamas, witness Haniyeh's dismissal of Zawahari after the latter started telling Hamas what to do. Al-Awlaki is trying to incite homicide by anglophones who are nowhere near Gaza. But as an al-Qa'ida cleric, he is skating on thin ice when he endorses a militia that to some extent is in the hire of Iran.

The complete original, with an update that appeared after his anglophone sycophants reacted rather dubiously to his endorsement of the indiscriminate murder of civilian non-combatants:

May Allah forgive the shuhada of Gaza and we ask Allah to grant the mujahideen victory. These are a few thoughts on the meaning of what happened and is happening in Gaza:
First: We have been successfully desensitized by the enemy. The meager response to this atrocity is nowhere close to the support that is expected from the Muslim Ummah for a part of it that is suffering in pain. Rasulullah(saaws) waged war on the Jews for their attack on one Muslim woman. So far the death toll is approaching three hundred and all what we see is condemnations, demonstrations and Arab leaders calling for another useless summit. This necessitates that we raise the awareness of the people around us to what is happening and what our responsibility is.
Secondly, this should be an additional piece of evidence for what is already obvious to many since a long time ago which is that the current leadership of the Muslim world is bankrupt. It is a totally impotent leadership. The governments of the Muslim world cannot be fixed but needs to be uprooted and removed altogether. This conclusion has been reached by many in the Muslim world but sadly enough there are some who would still argue on behalf of the ones who failed us and betrayed us. The fact is that our kings and presidents have reduced themselves to the role of defending their own interests and the interests of the modern crusaders. They train their armies and security forces on how to crack down on Muslims not on their responsibility of defending Muslim interests. They have treated the masses of the Muslim ummah with suspicion and contempt. Lets not be fooled by the “condemning” of the Muslim leaders . In fact Egypt is a participant in the attack on Gaza since it is them who are laying siege on Gaza. If a Muslim thinks about Jihad today the first who would stand in his way are the governments of the Muslim world.
Thirdly, the illegal state of Israel needs to be eradicated. Just like Rasulullah drove them out of the Arabian peninsula the Jews of Palestine need to be driven out to the sea. There are no Israeli civilians unless they are Muslim. When the enemy targets our women and children we should target theirs. Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen says: If the enemy kill our women and children it appears to me that we are allowed to kill their women and children because that weakens their hearts and humiliates them. That is also included in the general meaning of the verse: “So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you.” [al-Baqarah 194]
We ask Allah to alleviate the pain of our families in Gaza, to assist them, and to grant them victory.
CLARIFICATION:
My opinion which I have stated in past recordings and is still my opinion now is that non-combatant women and children cannot be targeted. However if the type of war forced on us to fight is one in which non-combatants would end up being killed in order to reach to the fighting force then it is allowed in this case. Examples of this are the striking of al Taif by the catapult during the time of Rasulullah(saaws). Parallels of this today are the two methods that our brothers in Palestine have adopted: martyrdom operations and the firing of rockets into the occupied territories. Both of these methods inevitably do kill women and children. The current case of Gaza adds another dimension and that is that the Jews are targeting the entire community in Gaza by siege and indiscriminate bombing and this is why I am inclined to the view of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen in this particular situation.
In the current situation of Palestine I must say that I agree with the methods adopted by the mujahideen and I agree with them when they state that they would not stop targeting civilians until the Israeli’s do the same.
For those who asked that I reconsider my view on this, I promise I will review it again and would be happy if you could send me textual references pertinent to the discussion.

Hani al-Siba'i mouthing off re Gaza

2008-12-30T01:20:00.000-08:00

The derelict propaganda boss of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Hani al-Siba'i, writing from the safety of London, insults and threatens the Egyptian armed forces for preventing a mob of Palestinians from swarming into the Sinai during Cast Lead:

فتوى في بيان بشأن الضابط المصري القتيل

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

فتوى في بيان بشأن الضابط المصري القتيل

إلى الضابط المصري البائس الذي ذهب في حظِّ سايكس بيكو وطاعة غير الله

لقد آلمنا أن يذهب مثلُكَ في طاعة غير الله بعد أن رفعت سلاحك في وجه شقيقك الفلسطيني الذي آوى إليك فرارا مما يلقى من عدوك وعدوه، على رجاء أن يجد منك ما كان يلقاه من أمثالك الغياري على شرف العروبة وعز الإسلام فإذا بك تشهر السلاح في وجهه فتقتله وأنت له ظالم طاعة لأوامر جائرة، وتعليمات فاجرة، فرخص دمُك، لأنه كما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا طاعة في المعصية" وضاعت في الضلال حياتك، لأنك لاَعنْ عروبة كنت مدافعا،ولا لدين كنت عاملا، "والمسلم أخو المسلم، لايظلمه ولايخذله، بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم كلُّ المسلم على المسلم حرام، دمه، وعرضه، وماله"، قتلت أخاك على حقه فذهب شهيدا، لأنَّ من قُتِل دون ماله فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون عرضه فهو شهيد" ثم قُتِلْتَ أنت في غايةٍ رخيصة، هي الدفاع عن حدود وضع خطوطها الكافرون، الذين قسَّموا أرضنا بما عرف بالمجرمين سايكس بيكو، لينفردوا بنا واحدا بعد الآخر، وأرضنا في دين الله واحدة، فإذا بك تسقط فيما سقط فيه ساسة الحزب الذين حادوا الله ورسوله، فاستجاروا بأعدائهم من أوليائهم وإخوانهم،فذهبت حياتك في غير شرف، وقُتِلت قَتْلَ الصائل، فقد أخرج النسائي واحمد بسند صحيح عن أبي هريرة قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يارسول الله ،أرايتَ إنْ عُدِىَ على مالي؟ قال: "َانْشُدِ الله"، قال: فإن أَبواْ عليَّ؟ قال "انشُدِ الله"، قال: فإن أبوْا عليَّ، قال:"فانشُدِ الله"،قال :فإن أبوا عليَّ؟ قال صلى الله عليه وسلم" فقاتل، فإن قُتِلتَ ففي الجنة، وإن قَََتلْتَ ففي النار".

وعليه :

فإننا نُحذِّر كّلَّ جنديٍّ وضابط من جنود مصر أن يخسروا شرفهم الفريد بأن يندفعوا في إطاعة الأوامر الصادرة إليهم بغير أن يعرضوها على دينهم وقلوبهم ،فإنه لاطاعة في المعصية، وليست حياة واحدٍ منكم بأغلى من حياة إخوانكم المستضعفين وغير المستضعفين الفلسطينيين، والمسلمون أمة واحدة، يسعى بذمتهم أدناهم، وهم يد على من سواهم" وحتى لاتخسروا الدنيا والآخرة.

وإلى الموظفين من بعض الشيوخ الذين لايزالون يلزمون جانب الصمت، ويخرصون خرص القبور، فرضوا لعمائمهم أن تكون على أصنام، إنَّ سِمَنَ الكيس ونُبْلَ الذِّكرِ لا يجتمعان.

وإلى دهاقين السياسة في مصر وغيرها :

مانال باذلٌ وجَهَهُ بسؤاله عِوَضاً ،ولو نالَ الغِنى بسؤاله

2008-12-27T19:27:00.001-08:00

Somebody calling himself "Noor Pro Media" is advertising a roundup to be held on 1 January at the East London Mosque. They claim that Anwar al-Awlaki will appear in a lecture that was recorded specifically for this event, and will be available to answer questions by telephone. These Londonistani festivals are largely ignored nowadays even by the local tabloids, but not this one, owing I'm sure to al-Awlaki's involvement in it.
The Telegraph on 2008.12.27.

Lately al-Awlaki has been doing some English-language recruiting work on behalf the Shabaab movement in Somalia. Al-Awlaki himself is probably in Yemen, as he claims, but since he is not being specific, I would guess he is back in the Al-Eman University cult compound in Sana'a, run by the al-Qai'da financier and recruiter Abdul-Majid az-Zindani.

Eric Breininger

2008-12-24T02:48:00.003-08:00

The online text from the Islamic Jihad Union is not widely reported, because most of it is in Turkish. But lately IJU has been trying to use their only well-known member, Eric Breininger, to do some recruiting material for them or, it may be, to reassure their sponsors that they are actually doing something.

An enemy reaction to the arrest of Umm Ubeidah

2008-12-14T18:52:00.001-08:00

From a webmaster of the Ribaat room. He claims to be in Peshawar, which in this case is not unlikely.

La Hawla Wa La Quwata ila Billah. Je suis plus en colere que desolez pour elle.

Qu Allah eloigne cette soeur Malika une bonne fois pour toute des freres du manhaj.

Wallahi tout ce qu elle a reussit a faire depuis des annees c est leur nuire.

Approchant facilement tous les "jihadistes" grace a son honorable surnom (veuve du moujahid Abdel Sattar Dahman) elle est allez de bourde en bourde et malgre les conseils et recommandations de ceux qui travaillent elle en a toujours fait a sa tete.

Recemment, rien n a pu l empecher d aller se moquer de la requete des freres l appelant a ne pas divulguer la lettre et les photos de son nouveau mari et l implorant de disparaitre de la scene une bonne fois pour toute (etant trop coller par la presse et les federaux).

Les freres l ont prevenue du mal qu elle causerait aux autres en divulgant ces informations mais elle a fait fi, croyant que son petit discours aurait l effet d une video de Ben Laden sur la masse et ignorant idiotement le mal flagrant qui resulterait d une telle action malgre qu on lui ait traces ce a quoi ca emmenerait.

A part vouloir faire la une des journaux je ne vois pas quel etait la fa'idah dans les dernieres actions de la soeur...

Griller toute une organisation et mettre des freres en cavales et d autre en cabanes pour ca, qu Allah la pardonne et si nous prions pour qu Il l a face sortir de prison nous L imploront pour qu Elle ne remettes plus jamais les pieds sur la scene.

After a query from one of the other forum members, the webmaster continued:

En general lorsqu on publie sa photo et qu on fait connaitre ses actions du grand publique c est soit qu on est une personne isole et qu on agit seul et qu on est donc certains que personne de notre entourage et de nos contacts ne sera toucher, soit qu on est un imbecile qui arrivé a destination se moque des autres en se disant que de toute facon nous on reviendra pas.

Le frere Mo'az Garsalloui considere comme meneur (il n a rien mene du tout si ce n est l enquete des federaux a bout) est le point de depart de la recherche: qui sont ses contactes telephoniques, ses dernieres rencontres en belgique, ou se rendait il, avec qui trainaient il, quel chemin a t il emprunter jusqu a l afghanistan, qui sont ceux qui sont passe recement par les memes pays.... et hop on commence la cueillette du primptemps.

J appel cela une bourde avec premeditation, la soeur ayant ete prevenue des consequences flagrante d un tel acte et de sa porté. Elle repondra devant Allah de ses actions.

Chechen Islamist neutralized in Istanbul

2008-12-13T00:09:00.000-08:00

Novosti in English, quoting Turkish media.
Islam Janibekov is the name being reported. The weapon is said to have been a Russian two-barreled pistol with silencer.
The Turkish press story has been copied by the other side also: to the website of Dokka Umarov's self-styled Caucasus Emirate, which is operated mainly in Turkey by Movladi Udugov. Since the Wahhabi terrorist charities in Daghestan were shut down, the laundering of money to Umarov and company seems to be done in Turkey.
At present I am not aware of any infiltration from Turkey to Russia via Georgia, but it has happened before. Keyword: Pankisi Gorge.

Update, 13 December 2008: The story has been removed from Udugov's website.

Shakir al-Absi reported killed in Syria

2008-12-10T00:56:00.000-08:00

شاكر العبسي
Shakir al-'Absi
was the leader of Fatah al-Islam before the Lebanese blew them out of Nahr al-Bared. He himself fled to Syria. A posting on a terrorist forum, said to be from FaI, says that that group believes al-'Absi was captured or killed in Syria, and they have replaced him with someone going by
ابو محمد عوض
Abu Muhammad 'Awadh.

Associated Press, quoting a terrorist forum posting.

Updates:

BBC heard about it from an American web monitoring group.

Al-Arabia in Arabic, from AFP. Various other papers are quoting SITE about this one.

Personally I don't see much significance to that web posting. Perhaps its purpose is just to introduce the name "Abu Muhammad 'Awadh" -- someone who wants to get sponsored by the same people who sponsored al-'Absi. The quality and quantity of Fatah al-Islam's weapons makes it clear that they were well-funded.

Update: The following, from majahden.com, seems to be the original.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

يقول الله تبارك وتعالى:

(وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتَّى نَعْلَمَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ مِنكُمْ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَنَبْلُوَ أَخْبَارَكُمْ) (محمد : 31 )

هذا بيان توضيحي حول الأحداث التي مر بها تنظيم فتح الاسلام منذ خروجه من مخيم نهر البارد حتى أيامنا هذه :

لقد تمكن الشيخ المجاهد شاكر العبسي أمير تنظيم فتح الإسلام وبعض الإخوة من الخروج من مخيم نهر البارد وذلك بفضل من الله حيث استطاعوا كسر الحصار الذي كان مفروضاً عليهم ، ولقد لجؤا الى بعض الإخوة الأخيار الذين عملوا على إيوائهم فكانوا نعم الأنصار وكان الشيخ ورفاقه بأشد الحاجة حينها لهذه النصرة فمكثوا قرابة الشهرين بغرفة صغيرة لا يرون فيها شمساً ولا يتنسمون من خلفها الهواء حتى أنهم مكثوا تلك الفترة كلها لا يتحدثون إلا بصوت خافت ينتظرون في كل لحظة أن تداهمهم جنود الصليب وأعوانه ولكن الله كان معهم فكان من بين الإخوة جرحى وحتى الشيخ كان قد كسرت رجله أثناء خروجه من المخيم وبعد قضاء هذه الفترة قرر الشيخ الخروج ورفاقه الى سورية من أجل لملمة الجراح وإعادة القنوات التي قطعت أثناء الحرب وإعادة بناء التنظيم من جديد ويسر الله له ورفاقه الخروج فتمكنوا من الوصول الى سورية عبر تخطي الحدود عن طريق بعض المهربين وفي سورية عانوا ما عانوه من نوم في الطرقات والحدائق العامة حتى تمكنوا من الإتصال ببعض الأصدقاء القدامى من أهل الخير فكانوا ينامون كل يوم في منزل وأيام في الحدائق والطرقات والله أعلم كيف كانت حياتهم ولكنهم صبروا واحتسبوا كل ذلك عند الله.

وبدأ الشيخ يجري إتصالاته مع الإخوة في دولة العراق الإسلامية وكان ذلك عبر أشخاص معروفين لدى الدولة وكذلك كان يحاول الوصول الى الإخوة في أفغانستان ولكن دون جدوى ومع هذا لم يتوقف عن مهمته فقام بترتيب العمل وتنظيم الصف وإعادة بناء التنظيم من جديد مع إنه كان يواجه صعوبةً كبيرةً في البداية إلا إنه لم يستسلم للأمر الواقع ،

فاتصل ببعض الخيريين الذين كان يعرفهم وهم في بلاد متفرقة من العالم استطاع بفضل الله بعدها ان يعيد هيكلية التنظيم ووضع خطة للعمل على ضرب أهداف يستطيع من خلالها النهوض بالتنظيم وكذلك رفع همم الشباب المسلم وايقاظ الأمة من سباتها وخاصة في بلاد الشام فكان هذا الأمر على حساب نفسه حتى أهملها فلم يداوي رجله التي أصيب بها وانكب على العمل لهذا الدين مع إنه لو أراد الدنيا لأتته راغمةً ولنهالت عليه الأموال من كل جانب ولكن من رفض العروض المغرية في مخيم نهر البارد وأبى الا التمسك بدينه وبسلاحه حري به أن يبقى ثابت على هذا المبدأ مع أنه فقد النصير والمعين من الخلق في مخيم نهر البارد وفقدهم بعد خروجه وبقى على هذه الحال حتى غيابه ولكنه دائما كان متصلا بالله فنعم المولى ونعم النصير.

وفي يوم من الايام كان الشيخ على موعد مع أناس قالوا أنهم يستطيعون ايصاله بالإخوة في العراق فقام بالذهاب الى الموعد ولكنه فوجئ بأنه نصب له كمين وكان برفقته أخوين هما أبو الشهيد وأبو أحمد وكانو ممن خرجوا معه من مخيم نهر البارد وقد حصل إشتباك دام حسب شهود عيان لمدة ساعة تقريباً وسمع إطلاق نار كثيف في تلك المنطقة وهي منطقة (جرمانا) وحوصرت المنطقة من قبل مخابرات الدولة ومنع الدخول والخروج من تلك المنطقة وتم التعتيم على هذا الأمر من قبل الدولة فلم نعلم اي أخبار عن الشيخ ورفاقه هل هم أسرى أم هم شهداء ولم يتوقف البحث من جهتنا فعملنا بكل جهد لكي نصل الى الحقيقة لكن دون جدوى ولغاية هذه اللحظة لا نعلم شيئ مع إننا نرجح إستشهادهم ولكن لا دليل لدينا يثبت هذا الأمر وبعد مرور ثلاثة أيام على فقدان الشيخ ورفاقه قام مجلس شورى التنظيم بتعيين الأخ الشيخ أبو محمد عوض أميراً خلفاً للشيخ شاكر العبسي على التنظيم وبعد توصية الشيخ شاكر بالامارة من بعده لأبو محمد عوض لمعرفته به ولجدارته وقدرته على المضي بالتنظيم قدماً نحو الأهداف التي رسمها التنظيم فتمت البيعة للشيخ ابو محمد عوض بموافقة الجميع وبرضى الجميع وبدأت المرحلة الجديدة بغياب الشيخ شاكر العبسي وبدأ التنظيم يعيد قوته وانتشاره في كلٍ من سورية ولبنان وفلسطين ولكنها سنة الإبتلاء والإصطفاء وما ان نخرج من محنه نقع في اخرى وذلك ليس لخلل في الطريقة أو الإسلوب ولكن لسلامة المنهج الذي نتبعه فاعداءنا لن يتركونا ونحن ثابتين على مبادئنا
( لاَ يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىَ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن دِينِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُواْ.........)

فنحن قد بايعنا الله ومن ثم الشيخ على مواصلة الطريق على النهج الذي رسمه لنا وهو طريق ذات الشوكة الذي يوصل الى رضوان الله كما إننا عملنا جاهدين لكي نصل الى الإخوة في أفغانستان أو العراق لكن دون جدوى وإخواننا غفلوا عنا فالطريق مقفلة فحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل .

وجاءت القضية التي أذهلت الجميع غيرنا لاننا كنا نتوقع من هكذا انظمة أشد وأعنف من هذا الأمر، وهو عرض بعض الإخوة في تنظيمنا وكذلك إبنة الشيخ شاكر فك الله أسرهم جميعاً من أيدي الكفار والملحدين فقد تم عرضهم على شاشة التلفزيون السوري بتاريخ 7-11-2008 فهم أرادوا بهذا البث تشويه صورتنا أمام العالم وثانياً ان يضعوا تيار المستقبل اللبناني في موقف حرج أمام أتباعه ومناصريه وحلفاءه من اللبنانيين وكذلك يقدم هذا الأمر هدية لحلفاءهم في لبنان من المعارضة فنقول بعون الله وتوفيقه بأن ما بث من أباطيل وأراجيف وكذب وافتراءات وتدليس بحقنا وذلك على التلفزيون السوري حيث عرضوا إخواننا على الشاشة إنما يأ تي هذا البث وخاصة في هذه الأيام وقبل موعد الإنتخابات النيابية اللبنانية وكذلك قرب المحكمة الدولية لمقتل الحريري إنما يأتي هذا الفيلم المدبلج خدمة لحلفاءهم في لبنان ونعني بذلك (المعارضة اللبنانية المتمثلة ب 8 اذار )والمشروطة بعودة النفوذ السوري الى لبنان عبر اجهزة مخابراتهم التي بدأت تتخذ مراكزا لها في بيروت وضواحيها وهذا الأمر لم يعد خافياً على أحد فهذا الأمر أصبح معروفاً ومشاهداً وكذلك من أجل إضعاف تيار المستقبل اللبناني وإحراجه بين أتباعه وأنصاره وحلفائه وكما معروف أن هذا التيار كانت له اليد الطولى في معركة نهر البارد فهذا التيار قلنا عنه مراراً وتكراراً بأنه حزب كافر مرتد لايجوز الإنتماء إليه أو مناصرته او تأييده أو الدفاع عنه وهذا الأمر من شأنه إخراج المسلم من دائرة الإسلام والنور الى بؤر الكفر والظلام وهذا التيار الامستقبلي شأنه شان كل احزاب 14 اذار وشأن كل احزاب 8 آذار فجميعهم أهل ردة وكفر (فملة الكفر عندنا واحدة )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
وأما حجتهم بأن هذا التيار ينتمي لأهل السنة فأهل السنة قد أبتليوا بأمثال هؤلاء وهم كثر فأهل السنة هم أهل التوحيد الذين يتخذون القران والسنة منهاجاً لهم في كل شؤون حياتهم وأما من إدعى أنه من أهل السنة وهو محارب للكتاب والسنة فدعوته مردودة عليه وعلى كل من يفتي له والى كل من يتملق ويتزلف لهذه الأحزاب والشخصيات فإن ما بث في التلفزيون السوري إنما جاء لهذا الغرض أي لدعم الناخب اللبناني المعارض وكذلك لتعطيل المحكمة الدولية او للمساومة عليها فمن المعروف إن النظام السوري يحرص كل الحرص على التكتم عن أي معلومة لديه وعن أي حدث يحصل في بلده فهناك أمور وأحداث حصلت في سورية أشد وأعنف من العملية التي ذكرت على شاشات التلفاز وفد تم التعتيم عليها فلماذا يتم الكشف أو بالأحرى الأفتراء المدبلج عن هذه العملية التي إستهدفت فرع فلسطين في منطقة كفر سوسة فالأمر واضح وجلي لكل من أراد أن يعرف الحقيقة، إن ما تشهده الساحة السورية اليوم من مداهمات واعتقالات وقتل للمسلمين ممن ينتمون الى التيار السلفي وعيرهم إنما يأتي هذا الأمر خدمة للمشروع الأمريكي حتى القصف الأمريكي الذي وقع على الحدود العراقية السورية والذي استهدف بعض المجاهدين في منطقة البو كمال إنما تم هذا القصف بالتنسيق بين أجهزة النظام السوري وبين الجيش الأمريكي فهذا النظام بني على جماجم العباد وارتوى من دماء أاهلنا في سوريا فإن مدينة حماة ما زالت والى أيامنا هذه شاهدةً على عظم وهول المجزرة البشعة الذي قام بها هذا النظام النصيري الكافر ضد النساء والأطفال والشيوخ العزل والذي قام بتدمير المساجد على رؤوس المصلين وقاموا كذلك بتمزيق وإحراق المصاحف الشريفة بداخلها وهذا سجن صيدنايا كذلك شاهد على مجازرهم التي قاموا بها بحق 400 معتقل أكثرهم من المسلمين فقد تم إعدامهم وقاموا بتدنيس القران في ذلك السجن ولا يزال التنكيل مستمر بحق الأسرى الى أيامنا هذه وهل نسي العالم ما فعله هذا النظام الظالم بحق الشعب الفلسطيني في لبنان وذلك في مخيم تل الزعتر والنبعة وجسر الباشا وغيرها من المناطق من بقر لبطون النساء وقطع للرؤوس وإبادات جماعية بحق هذا الشعب المسكين ومن تدمير لمنازلهم بل وبإزالةٍ لمخيمات بأكملها وكذلك ما عاناه الشعب اللبناني في ظل الإحتلال السوري لبلدهم وما زال بعض اللبنانيين يعانون المرارة لفقد أبنائهم الذين لم يعرف مصيرهم بعد ،هل هم أحياء أم أموات وكم من الأخوات العفيفات الطاهرات اللاتي دنس شرفهن على يد حثالة من زبانية هذا النظام النصيري الحاقد وكم من عالم يقبع في سجونهم ويعاني الويلات في زنازينهم وكم من مسلم حر كبل في الأغلال فقط لأنه أراد الذهاب الى العراق لمناصرة إخوانه وكم وكم وكم ،
فهذا النظام ليس مستغرب منه بأن يقوم بعرض بعض أبناء تنظيمنا الذين تم إعتقالهم ويكرههم بفعل التعذيب والتهديد وهم أسرى في قبضته لا حول لهم ولا قوة ولا حيلةً لهم إلا ان يرددوا ما أملوه عليهم وذلك لأجل تمرير ما خططوا له فكل ما جاء في الشريط السوري هو كذب وزور وبهتان وأن ما جاء على لسان إخواننا على التلفزيون السوري من أن التنظيم كان يتلقى الدعم من تيار المستقبل وبأن له علاقة وارتباط بهذا التنظيم نقول بعون الله وتوفيقه ،
أن هذه الأُكذوبة أصبحت واضحة وجلية ، لماذا ؟ لأن الله الذي يدافع عن أولياءه المؤمنين يأبى إلا أن يظهر كذب هؤلاء، فهل يعقل بأن تنظيم يتلقى الدعم المادي من تيار المستقبل المعروف بإمكانياته المادية فهل يعقل أن يقوم هذا التنظيم بسلب الأموال لتمويل ولتجهيز التنظيم ولتجهيز عملياته فأين دعم التيار المادي الذي أدعوه ، وهل يا ترى بأن من يدعم التنظيم مادياً ويؤمن له الغطاء السياسي يكون هو أول من يطلق النار الإعلامي والمادي عليه في نهر البارد وهو أول من أعطى الأوامر بإنهاء هذا التنظيم في مخيم نهر البارد والله إنها لسخرية وشيءَ يستدعي الضحك لأن هذه التمثيلية لم ينجح السوريون في إخراجها لأن من يتلقى الدعم المادي والسياسي من تيار المستقبل ليس بحاجةِ لسلب الأموال ولا لأن يطارد ويقتل ويلقى في غياهب السجون اللبنانية فبأموال التيار يعيشون حياة الترف والرفاهية والمجون ونحن نشاهد كل الذين يدعمهم التيار فهذه الأُكذوبة لم تعد تنطلي على أحد ،وهنا نغتنم الفرصة لنبين للعالم أجمع بأننا في تنظيم فتح الإسلام نكفر بطواغيت العرب والعجم ونكفر بالبعث السوري و بتيار المستقبل اللبناني ونكفر بالعلمانية والديمقراطية والوطنية والقومية وبكل الأفكار الأرضية المخالفة لشريعة الله ونؤمن بالإسلام منهاج حياة ونظام حكم تسعد البشرية في ظله ،

وأما الأمر الأخر هو تصوير التنظيم على أنه وبعد ذهاب الشيخ شاكر العبسي يوجد بين أفراد التنظيم خلافات على الإمارة وغيرها وهذا الأمر عار على الصحة فتنظيمنا بحمد الله وتوفيقه ورعايته متماسك وقوي فكلمتنا واحدة وجسمنا مترابط وأيدينا تقبض على سيف الحق في وجه أعداء الأمة ،

فلسنا والله ممن يتصارعون من أجل دنيا زائلة ومتاعِ رخيص وسنبقى بإذن الله شوكةً في حلق الطغاة حتى نُحكـم شرع الله أو نُقتل ونحن ثابتين على هذا الدرب ، فنحن من أساس مشروعنا قتال اليهود والأمريكان وحلفائهم وأعوانهم وخدامهم من الحكام وجيوشهم وأتباعهم وذلك من أجل أقامة دولة الإسلام العادلة ،أما الأمر الأخر هو قضية (سلب الأموال) فنقول معتمدين على الله إن سلب أموال الكفار والمرتدين وسلب البنوك الربوية والمصارف والمؤسسات التابعة لأنظمة الدول الكافرة هو أمر مشروع وقد أباحه الله لنا فهذه الأموال تؤخذ من هؤلاء وتنفق على درب الجهاد والمجاهدين من تأمين حاجياتهم ومن شراء العدة والعتاد وغيرها يقول المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم في الحديث (...وجعل رزقي تحت ظل رمحي وجعل الذل والصغار على من خالف امري) وليراجع هذا الباب عند علماء الجهاد الصادقين فإن هناك أبحاث قيمة في هذا الموضوع فنحن لا نقدم على أي عمل إلا بعد دراسته دراسةً شرعية فما وافق الحق أخذنا به وما وافق الباطل تركناه ولله الحمد والمنه وأخيراً نقول لأصحاب الأبواق المأجورة من أصحاب العمائم وغيرهم ممن باعوا أنفسهم للكفر المتمثل بالموالاة والمعارضة اللبنانيتين نقول لهؤلاء وأمثالهم اتقوا الله في المجاهدين وأعلموا أن لحوم المجاهدين مسمومة ومميتة وأن الأموال التي يدفعونها لكم لمحاربة المجاهدين فما هي إلا نار تضعونها في بطونكم وبطون أبناءكم وأتباعكم وسوف تكون عليكم حسرة وندامة ووبالاً يوم القيامة وأعلموا بأن باب التوبة مفتوح أمامكم وأعلموا يا من تريدون للأمة الذل والصغار بما تفتونه من إنحراف وتدليس وتزلف بأن الجبن والخوف والخنوع والورع الفاسد لن يؤخر الأجل وأن قول الحق والثبات عليه والإقدام لن يعجل بالأجل فالآجال محدودة ،

قال الله تبارك وتعالى

(وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ فَإِذَا جَاء أَجَلُهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلاَ يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ) (الأعراف : 34 )

فتبرؤا أيها العلماء من الكفر وأهله المتمثل في هذه الأحزاب الكافرة والزعماء المارقين الخارجين عن ملة الإسلام قبل أن يأتي يوم يتبرأون منكم فيه وبهذا تكونوا قد خسرتم الدنيا والأخرة
قال جل في علاه

(إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ الَّذِينَ اتُّبِعُواْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُواْ وَرَأَوُاْ الْعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الأَسْبَابُ) (البقرة : 166 ) (وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُواْ لَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّؤُواْ مِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ اللّهُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ حَسَرَاتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا هُم بِخَارِجِينَ مِنَ النَّارِ) (البقرة : 167 )

وقال الله تعالى

(وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلاً) (الفرقان : 27 ) (يَا وَيْلَتَى لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَاناً خَلِيلاً) (الفرقان : 28 ) (لَقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءنِي وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنسَانِ خَذُولاً) (الفرقان : 29 )

فالصدق الصدق يا علماء الأمة فلا تضلوا وتُضلوا الناس فتحملوا أوزارهم وقد خاب من حمل ظلما، أما لإخواننا وأنصارنا فنقول لهم بقول الله تبارك وتعالى يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اصْبِرُواْ وَصَابِرُواْ وَرَابِطُواْ وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ) (آل عمران : 200 )

إن ما يجري في هذه الأيام على الساحتين السورية واللبنانية من ملاحقات واعتقالات وقتلِ وتشريد خاصة أنها تأتي من هذه الأنظمة الكافرة ، فإن دل هذا الأمر إنٌما يدل على سلامة المنهاج الذي تسيرون عليه والحق الذي تتمسكون به وتدافعون عنه والباطل الذي ترفضونه وتحاربونه، فهذه الأمانة العظيمة التي تحملونها تجعلكم تعيشون غربة هذا الدين وهذا ما أخبر عنه معلم البشرية الخير محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم حين قال (بدأ الإسلام غريبا وسيعود غريبا كما بدأ فطوبى للغرباء )
فنحن نخاطبكم ونعلم بأن الهجمة التي نواجهها وخاصة في هذه الأيام شرسة جدا وأن الكفر وأتباعه وأزلامه قد اجتمعوا علينا من كل حدب وصوب ولكن أيها الإخوة هذا هو دين الله الذي ربى أجيالاً حكمت البشرية بالعدل والإحسان حتى أصبحنا أعز أُمة على وجه الأرض فهل نتخلى عنه وهل نتنازل عن شيئ منه ، لا والله ، فإن قضية تحكيم الإسلام هي قضية مصيرية فإما أن نحيا في ظل خلافة راشدة وإما أن نموت دونها شهداء فنحن نعيش من أجل الله ولن نرضى بأن نُحكم بغير شريعة الله عز وجل ، فنداؤنا للشباب المسلم الموحد الغيور أن يكونوا مع الصادقين العاملين لهذا الدين فهذه السنوات سنوات فاصلة بين الحق والباطل وإن الباطل الى زوال وهذا أمر يدركه كل من له متابعة سياسية عالمية ليرى كيف مُرغ أنف الصليبيين الجدد في أفغانستان والعراق ، وكيف ستنطلق شعلة الجهاد في بلاد الشام لأن الراية أصبحت واضحة للناس فالعالم قد انقسم الى فسطاطين كما قال شيخ المجاهدين أُسامة بن لادن حفظه الله فهما فسطاط إيمان وفسطاط كفر فكونوا أيها الشباب مع فسطاط الإيمان كي تنالوا شرف الدنيا وكرامة الأخرة ،

ونسأل الله تبارك وتعالى أن يثبتنا على الحق وأن يجعلنا سيفا مُسلطاً على رقاب أعداءه وأن يجعل أفئدة المؤمنين الصادقين تهوى إلينا

وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين

Anwar al-Awlaki

2008-12-08T19:45:00.000-08:00

He has been rather quiet on the internet lately, but his "Tibyan" followers in Londonistan just announced a forthcoming piece from Anwar al-Awlaki: his commentary on a book of threats written more than 100 years ago by one of his fellow Yemenis.

Zawahiri on the dead Bali bombers

2008-12-01T19:50:00.000-08:00

22:06 audio. Zawahiri lionizes the three Bali bombers who were executed on 8 November in Indonesia, and crabs about an interfaith dialog held on 12 November in Saudi Arabia.

The audio is pasted over a static graphic of Zawahiri. Grafted into the video component is some old footage of three Londonistanis:

1) Saudi al-Qa'ida member Sa'ad al-Faqih. Since Zawahiri is on about Saudi Arabia this time, it was natural for the video technician to recycle some of al-Faqih's anti-Sa'ud stuff, to make it appear that somebody was chiming agreement with Zawahiri.

2) Abdul Bari Atwan, the manager of the terrorism-friendly Palestinian tabloid al-Quds al-Arabi ("Arab Jerusalem"). That was the paper that first published Usama Bin Ladin's two so-called fatwas, plus al-Qa'ida's claim of responsibility for the African embassy bombings of 1998.

3) Azzam al-Tamimi, who identifies himself with a quasi-academic pressure group called the Institute of Islamic Political Thought.

Update: English translation by NEFA, a 3-page pdf.

Ayman az-Zawahiri 28 November 2008

2008-11-28T21:29:00.000-08:00

Another 80 minutes of incitement and rhetoric from the futile old maggot. His target this time is the country that he hates above all others: his own country, Egypt. I really think that Ayman az-Zawahiri -- the epitome of Islamist failure -- is still trying to win the Six Day War.

Al-Azhar (pronounced al-az-har) is a training school for imams in Cairo. The Blind Sheikh is from al-Azhar; he is imprisoned for life in the USA.

Zawahiri is probably hiding among children in a madrassa, if he is not a house guest of some rich Pakistani, as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was, until he was betrayed and arrested.

Ribaat / Mourabitoune forum was down (updated)

2008-11-27T02:24:00.000-08:00

Another enemy forum is having trouble. About this one:

Mostly French text with some Arabic.
Some quite serious bad guys among its members and late members.
Affiliated (I am told) with a Belgian Muslim "cultural centre".
Had an address in Peshawar.
Mourabitoune is or was very orthodox, quickly banning any members who did not toe the Sunni terrorist line. Some of its members would conform to the Salafist superstition of not allowing female faces or even hands to appear in the graphics.

Some background can be found in Rita Katz's testimony to the US Congress.

Update: It's back up, same as before. I don't want to speculate about why it was temporarily down.

Hesbah is "officially" dead

2008-11-24T23:53:00.000-08:00

CBS Internet Terror Monitor has the story.

A different theory about the forums called Ekhlaas, Faluja, Boraq, and Firdaws, which disappeared around 10 September, is that it was not just those websites that got busted, but their webmaster -- along with his computer and all the goodies that it contained. That would explain how all the URL's were de-registered or cut adrift, and if this arrest happened in, say, China, it would explain why so little information about the bust has come out.

Rashid Ra'uf probably killed in N. Waziristan

2008-11-22T19:12:00.000-08:00

In an American drone strike on 22 November 2008.
CBS
BBC (subject to revision)
The News of Pakistan
ABC

About how Ra'uf walked out of Pakistani custody in 2007:
The News

The reaction to the demise of Ra'uf (not by columnists but by terrorists) will be worth watching.

Update: Fox says in part:
"There is good reason to believe, as the Pakistanis have stated, that a major terrorist is dead," a U.S. official told FOX News, referring to Rashid Rauf.

Update: MSNBC says in part:
A senior U.S. counterterrorism official told NBC News that Rauf and a Saudi militant called Abu Zubair al-Masri were the targets of the strike in North Waziristan.
"These guys are no longer with us," the official said.

The name Abu Zubair al-Masri does not agree with other reports, and "al-Masri" means Egyptian, not Saudi.
