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.
