| ..just a snippet..a lot more interesting dirt on link Major Jihadi Cleric and Author of Al-Qaeda's Shari'a Guide to Jihad: 9/11 Was a Sin; A Shari'a Court Should Be Set Up to Hold Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri Accountable; There Are Only Two Kinds of People in Al-Qaeda – The Ignorant and Those Who Seek Worldly Gain "Bin Laden and His Followers Lied to… [Mullah] Muhammad Omar and Betrayed Him" Q: "What is your evaluation of the events of September [11], 2001?" A: "The events of September [11], 2001, were betrayal of a friend and perfidy toward the enemy on the part of Al-Qaeda, and they were a catastrophe for the Muslims. All of these are traits of hypocrisy, and cardinal sins whose perpetrators are considered iniquitous - and whoever approves of their action shares their sin. "This was betrayal of a friend, because bin Laden took the oath of allegiance to Mullah Muhammad Omar, leader of the Taliban, [and recognized him] as Commander of the Faithful in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. [Bin Laden] lived under his protection, and [Mullah] Muhammad Omar refused to hand over bin Laden to anyone. "More than once [Mullah] Muhammad Omar ordered [bin Laden] not to clash with America, saying that he didn't have the capabilities for this, especially since Afghanistan and its people were the ones who paid the price for bin Laden's bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998. "Bin Laden and his followers lied to their Emir [Mullah] Muhammad Omar, betrayed him, violated [their] oath of allegiance to him, and carried out the events of 9/11 behind his back after having plotted them for more than two years in his country, Afghanistan, after Khalid Sheikh [Muhammad] suggested the idea to bin Laden. The Prophet said, 'Whoever defies [a ruler] has no excuse when he meets Allah'…" "The Followers of Bin Laden Entered America… and Acted Perfidiously Toward Its People" "This was perfidy towards the enemy, because they entered America with a visa, which is a contract of protection. There is no dispute about this among the scholars - even… [if someone] forges the signature of the residents of [the Abode of] War, and they believe it to be authentic, and then he enters their land, he is forbidden to betray them in anything - their lives, their honor, their property, without any distinction between combatants (military) and non-combatants (civilians) among the residents of [the Abode of] War, as long as he remains in their country… "The followers of bin Laden entered America with his knowledge and by his order, and they acted perfidiously towards its people, and killed and destroyed… Then they called their treachery and their perfidy a 'raid' in order to compare their actions to the Prophet's raids. To tie their perfidy and treachery to the Prophet is to diminish him and to mock him, and the punishment for diminishing the worth of the Prophet is well-known to Muslims; Qadi 'Iyyad mentioned it in Al-Shifa, and Ibn Taymiyya in Al-Sarim Al-Maslul." A Shari'a Court Should be Established to Hold Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri Accountable Q: "What was the extent of the impact of these events on the situation of Muslims in the world?" A: "It was a catastrophe for the Muslims. [Al-Qaeda] ignited strife that found its way into every home, and they were the cause of the imprisonment of thousands of Muslims in the prisons of various countries. They caused the death of tens of thousands of Muslims - Arabs, Afghans, Pakistanis, and others. The Taliban's Islamic Emirate was destroyed, and Al-Qaeda was destroyed. They were the direct cause of the American occupation of Afghanistan and other heavy losses which there is not enough time to mention here. They bear the responsibility for all of this." Q: "What is your opinion on the way in which bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri have managed the war against the Americans?" A: "Bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri, and others fled at the beginning of the American bombing [in Afghanistan], to the point of abandoning their wives and families to be killed along with other innocent people. "I think that a shari'a court should be established, composed of reliable scholars, to hold these people accountable for their crimes - even if in absentia - so that those who are ignorant in their religion do not repeat this futility. "The Taliban used to punish a woman who left her house with her face uncovered - so how could the leaders of Al-Qaeda not be held accountable - they who caused the destruction of their country, the spilling of their blood, the destruction of their houses, whose children were orphaned and wives widowed - all of this in disobedience to their Emir?..." "Many Ignorant People Admired Al-Qaeda's Actions Due to Their Lack of Knowledge in the Shari'a" Q: "But some Islamists still praise what happened, despite the consequences." A: "Many ignorant people admired Al-Qaeda's actions due to their lack of knowledge in the shari'a and their lack of knowledge concerning the conditions [required] for actions [to be permitted] and their true shari'a definitions. "The peoples are ruled by emotions and think with their ears and not with their minds - that is, they admire what they hear without considering its true nature in their minds. "What induces people to do this is their hatred for America. They don't see any good from it. Al-Qaeda plays on this chord just like Saddam Hussein, Ahmadinejad, and others do. America always supports Israel. Even [America's foreign] aid, the common people don't notice it, since it is either old weapons that America gets rid of to provide work for its factories, or old stocks of wheat it wants to get rid of, or birth control pills. This is American [foreign] aid - that is, America aids itself. "People hate America, and the Islamist movements feel the hatred and the impotence, and they applaud anyone who locks horns with America, whether it's bin Laden, Ahmadinejad, or Saddam. Ramming America has become the shortest road to fame and leadership among the Arabs and Muslims. But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of your people?... |

| #5 Wrong. The only kind of alleged humans in al-Q are: front line jihadis. As opposed to rear base groupies in CAIR and accomplices. |

| #4 Well after 6 years at least we have a bigshot muslim theologian who admits that Al Qaeda actually was solely behind the 9-11 atrocities. This puts him marginally more in touch with reality than, say, Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul. |

| #3 But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of your people? Call me when it happens. |

| #2 Notice that in over six years none of those hundreds of millions of "moderate Muslims" and no representative of the ROP, has ever, never issued or even demanded a fatwa against bin Laden and consorts. This is the first time so perhaps we should rejoice despite the fact that this guy says that the 9/11 attacks were illegitimate because it was case of guest turning against his host and thus every half competent imam will be able to assert that if you enter illegally without any kind of voisa (eg through the Mexican frontier) then you are allowed to perpetrate terrorism. |

| #1 I prefer to set up a US military tribunal...from about 30,000 feet. Any defense attorneys or holy men as wish to represent or confront the accused are invited to meet with them 2 minutes before the hearing begins. Keep an eye on the gavel; when the gavel falls, judgment is not far behind. |
