Al Qaeda Adopts Al-Zarqawi's Watchword: Slaughter the Infidels
2004-10-21
Debka. Make of it what you will.

Excerpt:
DEBKAfile's al Qaeda experts stress that the fundamentalist group's ideologues of terror, utterly impervious to Western "infidel" opinion and sensitivities, have been immersed in a cold-blooded doctrinal debate on the integration of decapitation in their "jihad."

The upshot of this debate was a judgment handed down Thursday, October 10, by al Qaeda's spiritual guides which, summed up with brutal clarity, declares: Americans in Iraq, all foreigners, and their Iraqi collaborators fit "every Muslim religious and traditional criterion that permits their slaughter." i.e. decapitation.

The decree itself is divided into two long sections, each signed by a different group.

The first, 17 pages long, addresses Questions and Doubts on the Nature of the Jihad and its Functions , and is signed by a "Supporters of the Jihad Fighters."

The second, 16 pages long, Revival of the Tradition of Slaughtering Infidels, is signed by "Sheikh Abdullah Rashid", whose real identity is known only to senior al Qaeda leaders.

According to our experts, the first section addresses the questions and uncertainties stirred up in many parts of the Muslim world by the barbarous depictions of masked Muslim men snatching living human beings by the hair and slashing their throats with large knives. So monstrous are these images that even Arab TV stations are loath to air them.

The reluctant broadcasters are taken to task in this first section, accused of spurning "deeds sanctioned by Islam."

After section one addresses the queries of the doubters, section two lays down the law: "The slaughter of infidels is compelled by religious precept and must be implemented in letter and spirit as determined by the Prophet Mohammed, who declared that decapitation is the most effective means of intimidation and deterrent against the enemy."

Rest at link.

#1  "Laughter of the Infidels". Must be talking about those laughing, drug-crazed Marines, which heaven knows, has given me plenty of laughter.
