'Jihadi' sample pamphlet....



Here is a picture I found on watandost.blogspot.com . I found it interesting and I decided to put it on my blog. It is a classic example of the way terrorists try to recruit and build their force on propaganda and make a blend of Islam and terrorism and call it Jihad.

New Leaders...

Well, they did not waste anytime after all. They have nominated the successor of Zarqawi in Iraq. From what is known his name appears to be Abu Ayyub al-Masri. They wanted to make the maximum effort to make sure that he is portrayed as an Arab and a Muslim by naming himself according to the Arab naming conventions of naming oneself by reference to the home place and son’s name. This also gives a good insight into their thinking as to how important it is for them to have the appearance of the Muslims and holy warriors. They know that they do not have the widespread support of the Muslims in the world but their every action is filled with the appearance of the pious holy people who care about nothing other than Islam. Just listen to there web statements and you will hear the rhetoric containing words like ‘brothers of Islam’,’ Islamic Shura’, ‘jihad’, ‘martyr’, ‘revenge for all the Muslims’. They are desperate to make sure that they do not get confused as ethnic or geographic terrorists instead they want themselves to be presented as ‘Islam’s Holy Warriors’. Considering how much they feed and suck on the perceptions, although Muslims have condemned all kinds of terrorism, there is need for a huge demonstration among the Muslims similar to the one done on the publication of Prophet Muhammad’s (P.B.U.H) cartoons but without violence. This will make it very clear to them that they do not have the support of the majority of Muslims.
Although you can find idiots everywhere it is especially sad when you find them in the parliaments also. Leaders of the MMA which is a coalition of Muslims political groups in Pakistan offered fateha (prayers) for Zarqawi in Pakistan when he was killed by the American raid. A request was also made by the MMA to offer fateha on Zarqawi in the assembly but the speaker denied it citing technical rules. Nothing needs to be said, it is obvious and very sad as to how some our leaders act and behave. Let me just say this, if any of the members of the MMA would have been killed or slaughtered in Iraq by Al-Qaeda, I would like to see the Fateha coming out of there mouths. One interesting point though, the MMA also includes the heads of the Shia sect of the Pakistan and Zarqawi has been known to target Shia’s in Iraq.

Finaly the time had come...

There could not have been better news yesterday then the news of death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. He is finally in the grave along with numerous murders on his hand. We can all just hope now that this even leads to the breakup of the Al-Qaida structure in Iraq, so the ordinary man can take a breath of peace. His death was long overdure. Isn't it ironic, if we compare both Saddam and Zarqawi they both had there own 'sacred' missions but justified the killing of innocent people to acheive that.

Life


Although the killing of innocent civilians is condemnable no matter where it happens, my heart really falls for the people of Iraq. As compared to all the other well known hot zones like Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Dafur etc. at least you have some clue where can the ‘next one’ come from, but there is not such indication in Iraq. You might get shot right in your own home in front of or with your family, or if that does not happens someone might drag you outside the house and then kill you, and if you are still lucky enough and you have made it to your car you might get shot by soldiers on the road or if you decide to take the bus there might be a drive by shooting killing everyone in there, if you are still lucky and you make it to work you might get dragged outside your workplace and be shot in the head by the Saddam loyalists for tipping off against the insurgents, if you are still lucky enough and you make it to home you might find out that your home has been leveled during an air raid and if that did not happen you might find out that your son was kidnapped by insurgents. What is the ordinary human supposed to do in all this trauma? Isn’t the person being just pushed to the limits? How long will it take for someone in this atmosphere to go crazy…may be that will help because they you won’t have to worry or lets say you can’t worry. Should the person drink alcohol to free himself from the worry of being killed anytime…no wait, alcohol is haram….should he commit suicide for failure to bring security to his family members….no wait, suicide is unforgivable crime in Islam. What is he supposed to do?
Let me make one thing very clear to all the ‘jihadis’ and politicians ‘No religion, ideology or movement is more sacred then the human life itself, period!’ I do not care if the coalition forces call it collateral damage or Al-Qaeda calls it jihad, no concept of life can prevail without the life itself, whether it is a non-Muslim or Muslim, white or black, American or Palestinian it self.
Folks, Islam is a religion of peace and does not support killing of anyone unless ones very own life is in danger.
