Are "WE" Our Own Worst Enemy?

LINGERING LENINISTS-STALINISTS. That answer seems to be apparent when you see wayward Americans, aka "Leninists-Stalinists," proudly selling T-shirts and pins that say, "Stop Bitching and Start a Revolution," in heavily populated areas, such as downtown Georgetown, in Washington, DC. The scary thing is that people are actually BUYING this garbage and/or expressing their approval as they walk past these buffoons. I had the displeasure of seeing it myself. It was truly enraging, as well as sickening, to see these people flaunting this perverse phrase throughout the city. Whether this was carried out with alterior motives by a larger source or organization in a disinformation effort, or just a gathering of ignorant and misled dregs of society, it is a disgrace to our country and unacceptable, no matter what one's view may be. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, except when it is distastefully abused during a time when our country needs us most. These dispicable individuals are encouraging the destruction of a foundation based on the very freedoms that they so easily take for granted.

ALOOF MEDIA. The next question would then be, what is the American Press feeding to our general public about the war? and why are they MIA, or more concerned about being "politically correct"(ex. BBC, despite their rebuttle), when it comes to using the true terminology when referring to terrorists and the radical Islamist movement?

WEAK EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION.

Enemy #1: The Mukhabarat...Zarqawi Is Just a Front!

In a fast-paced country, like the US, many tend to categorize or simplify complex concepts into single phrases and words. However, this gives individuals such as Osama bin Laden and Zarqawi all of the credit and publicity, when in fact they are mere pawns in this enigmatic game of chess between: the US versus the Mukhabarat and Saddam Hussein, along with the radical Islamists.

According to Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball in Newsweek, the Mukhabarat(Intelligence) of Saddam Hussein is even MORE of a threat to the US and Iraq, than radical Islamists such as Zarqawi and bin Laden, who are considered to be acting more as "Saddam's Surrogates." So basically, Zarqawi makes headlines while the Mukhabarat does most of the 'dirty work.'

Similarily, despite his controversial reputation, Scott Ritter's article on "The risks of the al-Zarqawi myth" gives a very interesting perspective:

"According to former Iraqi intelligence personnel I have communicated with recently, the Mukhabarat, under instructions from Saddam Hussein, had been preparing for some time before the invasion of Iraq on how to survive, resist and defeat any US-led occupation of Iraq. A critical element of this resistance was to generate chaos and anarchy that would destabilise any US-appointed Iraqi government."

Furthermore, "The Mukhabarat was desperate for a way to divert attention from the fact that it was behind the attacks against Iraqi civilians. Iraqis killing Iraqis would turn the public against the resistance. It needed a foreign face, and al-Zarqawi provided it. A few planted CD disks later, and the al-Zarqawi myth was born."

The Mukhabarat are willing to do whatever it takes, which includes killing their own people(no surprise there, for Saddam Hussein)and fueling the radical Islamist movement, in order to maintain control of Iraq. They could care less about Islam and as to how many thousands of people die in the process. The only two things they care about are themselves and power.

In light of this article, I would hope that we could all agree that the capture of Saddam Hussein was in fact justified, whether he had Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMD) or not. In fact, we should begin to really redefine what is considered to be a WMD, because the Mukhabarat seems to be just that.

Round one goes to Saddam Hussein and the Mukhabarat, for allowing us to believe that WMD's could only be in metallic or chemical form! THAT is why we could not find any in Iraq.

However, a message to Saddam Hussein, the Mukhabarat, and radical Islamists (who think that they are so clever, and who could care less about human life): You may have won A battle, but you will NOT win the war.

10 Down, Thousands More to Go, But It Can and WILL Be Done!

The Washington Times reports that the "ambassador for Al Qaeda," Abu Qatada, was arrested yesterday, Aug 11, 2005 in Britain along with 9 other foreign-born radical Islamists. Way to Go Prime Minister Blair and British officials! That is how it should be done in every country, when it comes to the unlawful and unholy killing of civilians, both Muslim and non-Muslim. The Times also states that Qatada had served as "an inspiration for Mohamed Atta, leader of the September 11 hijackers."

For anyone concerned with the violation of human rights against these terrorists or, Neo-Kharijites: "Under British law, foreign nationals[the terrorists] can be deported only to countries that have promised not to torture or execute them and [countries such as] Jordan have given such assurances to Britain." I would say that this is more than fair, considering men like Qatada are reponsible for the carrying out and "inspiration" of mass murders around the globe.

A Step in the Right Direction, as Long as Others Follow

Prime Minister Tony Blair's proposal for 'strict anti-terror measures to expel foreigners who preach hatred' has been long overdue, which a prominent Muslim stated. As you will read in this article, this is NOT against Muslims whatsoever, this is against Neo-Kharijites and kafirs who preach hatred and extremist views. It is NOT a violation of civil rights, when it is against those who have declared war(or Hirabah) against their fellow citizens and teach hatred and violence. It would in fact be a violation of ALL citizens' rights, if their government did NOT do something to protect them from these extremists.

All countries, including the United States, should follow Britain's lead, and should be able to do so with the support of their fellow countrymen, or anyone, for that matter, who values life and the security of their nation.

As a side note, the plan for the expansion of Muslim schools in Britain seems to be a keen idea as well.

ZAWAHIRI IS TO BLAME, NOT BLAIR

The deception and manipulation continues...In an article published by the Washington Post, Ayman Zawahiri states in a video tape that Prime Minister Blair has brought destruction to London, and will bring more. Interesting. Because last time I checked, it was the terrorists who caused destruction in London, NOT Blair! Correct me if I am wrong.

Furthermore, even a Wahabbiist version of The Holy Qur-an (from an "English translation completed at King Fahd Holy Qur-an Printing Complex, AL-Madinah AL-Munawarah under the Auspices of the Ministry of the Hajj and Endowments. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia") has some very interesting verses, such as this one from S.31, A.18-23 that may cause Neo-Kharijites, such as Zawahiri to rethink their actions

Whoever submits
His whole self to Allah,
And is a doer of good,
Has grasped indeed
The firmest hand-hold:
And to Allah shall
All things return.

But if any reject Faith,
Let not his rejection
Grieve thee: to Us [3611]
Nor walk in insolence
Through the earth:
For Allah loveth not
Any arrogant boaster.

"And be moderate
In thy pace, and lower
Thy voice; for the harshest
Of sounds without doubt
Is the braying of the ass."

[Footnote: 3611: The man of God should not grieve because people reject Faith. He should do his duty and leave the rest to Allah. Every soul must return to Allah for his reckoning. Allah knows everything, and His Universal Plan is full of wisdom.]

In other words, let ALLAH be the judge of "non-believers," NOT kafirs like Zawahiri and bin Laden who are trying to act as if THEY were Allah. This is not about religion for these men, it is about power and hate. They are NOT moderate nor humble, rather, they are more like 'arrogant boasters;' as can be seen in the June 29 online video, by their terrorist network's leader in Iraq, Zarqawi, as well as other radicals, when the video cuts to a brigade of smiling young men. They are the only fighters shown unmasked, and the video explains why: They are a corps of suicide bombers-in-training." It is enough to make one sick. This is not the work of Allah, this is the work of evil men who smirk at the idea of killing innocent non-Muslims as well as Muslims, who do not have their exact same narrow-minded and distorted views.

Who is Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi?

Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi and his group, Kata'ib Al Tawhid, or "Battalions of Monotheism"(Dialog File Number 985 Accession Number 210600254[Membership Required]), are strongly linked to Al-Qaeda in Iraq. In July 2004, Al-Zarqawi and his group of radicals, including Azmi Jayyousi, confessed to planning the chemical attack in Amman, Jordan against the U.S. Embassy, the Jordanian prime minister's office and the headquarters of Jordanian intelligence.

In addition, the recent massacre(from a suicide car bomb) of Iraqi children receiving candy from US soldiers in July 2005 proves to be strongly related to Al-Zarqawi; especially considering a top suspect in the massacre, Abdullah Ibrahim al-Shadad, or Abu Abdul-Aziz, was identified as the operations officer for Al Qaeda in Iraq (The Washington Times; Friday July 15, 2005; Page A16).

Although Al-Zarqawi publicly denied responsibility for the massacre, it seems to be quite the contrary. According to Caroline Cox and John Marks in "Islam, Islamism, and the West" on page 66, many people are not aware of the "doctrine of taqiyya, which justifies conscious deception about faith for self-protection in a hostile environment." They go on to state that,

"Algerian journalist Mohamed Sifaoui, a Muslim...infiltrated an al-Qaeda group in Paris whose members employed a consistent policy of dissimulation when talking to non-members of their group, and in particular to non-Muslims, and explicitly described the tactic of taqiyya. Sifaoui describes the different way the group members talked amongst themselves and when giving media interviews:

'Karim was demonstrating once again his double-speak, an activity which he excelled. What he actually believed was always the exact opposite of what he reserved for the infidels. The double-speak, taqiyya as the Islamists call it, is a technique to use in times of jihad 'with the enemy.' Never divulging your intentions or what you really think to a non-Muslim is the rule for all fundamentalists. That's how organizations or individuals which draw their doctrine from hard-core fundamentalism obligingly allow themselves to be labeled with the qualifier 'moderate' by naive Westerners who judge them exclusively by what they say.'"

We Can Start by Using the CORRECT Terminology

I would like to begin by strongly suggesting that one read the following articles by Jim Guirard, President of the TrueSpeak Institute:

IT’S NOT JIHAD – IT’S UNHOLY HIRABAH
http://www.cuii.org/hirabahq.htm (scroll down to read article)

SPANISH MUSLIMS' FATWA OF "JIHAD AGAINST AL QAEDA"
http://www.freemuslims.org/news/article.php?article=495

These articles should be taken as a vital message to all, as to how we should be approaching this radical Islamist situation. All Muslims should be following or issuing fatwas similar to the fatwa issued by Spanish Muslims on March 13, 2005; and all non-Muslims, including the Bush Administration, should be openly supporting these fatwas. We should all be using terms such as "Hirabah" and "mufsidoon" instead of "Jihad" and "mujaheddin" when referring to radical Islamists, such as Osama bin Laden and Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, along with their networks Al Qaeda and Kata'ib Al Tawhid.

***Using these terms will not offend the Muslim community, rather, it will assist them in a TRUE Jihad against these radical Islamist networks, who corrupt authentic Islam. It is time to start realizing that this is more a "war of words" than a war of manpower; and that kafirs like Osama bin Laden and Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi are thriving off of these blasphemic ideologies against the Qu'ran that were created to impose fear on non-Muslims, Muslims, and even those who are recruited for this evil, NOT holy, Hirabah. The sooner that we realize this, more lives can be saved (even the lives of children being recruited as early as 5 years old into radical Islamist camps [more on this later]), and this "War on Terror" can be brought to an end.
