| Moroccan Tawhid wal Jihad blasts clergy |
| 2006-05-03 |
| An open letter from the Islamic Group of Tawhid Wal Jihad in Morocco to the scholars and callers to faith in that states was distributed amongst several jihadist forums this past weekend of April 29-30, 2006. The group chastises the Islamic scholars for seemingly posturing towards the “tyrant” ruler of Morocco, ignoring the call of Allah to preach for jihad and defending the sanctity of Muslims who are meeting disaster in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Palestine and Iraq. A question is repeatedly posed, “where are you in regards to all of this?,” asking the scholars where they stand regarding crimes, blasphemy, and infidels, and how they will respond to Allah on the day of judgement. “Tawhid Wal Jihad” was the name of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s organization before he pledged fealty to Usama bin Laden in November 2004, changing the name to al-Qaeda in Iraq in January 2005. This message could not be authenticated. |

| #3 I'll put it this way, LH. Whatever the heck it is that "moderate" imams are doing essentially amounts to taking the path of least resistance against their jihadist brethern. This flaccid posture constitutes nothing more than tacit approval of more violent factions in light of how incredibly ineffectual and largely silent such "moderate" individuals remain. |

| #2 if he was a real moderate, hed leave it to the state to do that, and not get involved with explosives himself. thats what these "moderate" imams seem to be doing, letting the Morrocan state do its thing. |

| #1 "Blasts Clergy"? Let me know when this sort of headline is about a "moderate" Imam taking out some jihadist preachers with a dynamite blast. Until then, it's SSDD. |
